For War—Against Germs
Twenty-two of the 26 State College restaurants
had to correct improper toilet facilities before re
ceiving 1949 operating licenses last week. It is
amazing that these conditions were tolerated for
so long by a community which prides itself on
being clean.
Almost as amazing is a promise by Harry L.
Wildasin, borough health inspector, that this is
not the end of the campaign to bring all eating
places up to what several progressive cities list
as "Grade A."
A proposed borough ordinance would authorize
unannounced inspections of restaurants, a differ
ent phase of the service being examined for flaws
each time. Mr. Wildasin has hinted that another
insoection will be made by summer at any rate.
We think that would be a most appropriate
time. Not that one can do much about the heat.
but one can attack a disgusting consequence o'
summer temperatures, the lowly fly.
For two summers, this customer has been an
noyed by flies on the pies and flies in the eyes.
There have been flies on the meats, flies in the
seats, flies on the cabbage, and flies—inevitably—
on the garbage pails. Here is the danger in the
phlegmatic tolerance of flies shown by some man
agers. Everyone knows where the winged pol
luters breed and what germs they carry.
Some way must be found to combat them.
Many other lines of attack could be taken by
borough health authorities. State law seems to be
a mere skeleton, but a well-planned local ordi-

'Junior High Level'
TO THE EDITOR: The actions of a large num
ber of spectators at the gym meet with Temple
was most certainly beyond the limits of sports
manship and fair play. I refer to the volume of
applause rendered when a Temple tumbler made
a mistake and fell to the mat. Maybe these spec
tators of the so-called college level should return
to junior high school.

nance should provide for taking bacteria counts
on glasses and utensils, for insistence that per
sonnel wear hair nets, for handling pats of butter
with tongs rather than fingers, and for cleansing
of dishes by methods which allow a wide margin
of safety.
In 1947, United States health officials found
dishwashing inadequate in 90% of the nation's
restaurants. Their prescription calls for immer
sion in 170-degree water for two minutes, or in
boiling water for one-half minute.
At East Lansing, Mich., home of Michigan State
College, the student council has forced drastic
reforms upon the town's restaurateurs. St. Louis
'lnd Pittsburgh restaurant standards have been
rni , ed notably since the war.
Key to the problem, of course, is public
cooperation. If diners accent low sanitation,
^•xforcement of any regulation becomes most
difficult.
Mr. Wildasin mentioned another form of de
cirable cooperation by patrons: ceasing to use
dishes and glasses as ash trays.
The local restaurant sanitation outlook, then,
is promising. It may be a hard fight, considering
the likely opposition from vested interests to iron
clad rules and rigid enforcement. The part played
by each patron may hold the margin of victory.
The least he can do is report obvious violations of
rules; the best he can do is patronize only the
cleanest establishments.

Room to March
ROTC should have its own parade ground, free from trees and
other obstacles to inexperienced drillmasters.
The situation wasn't so acute last fall when the ground was
dry, and the area now being excavated was still available. But now
the ground is wet and the tramp of hundreds of GI shoes will uproot
the ground below the Armory along the mall.
This state of affairs is hardly consistent with the efforts to keep
our campus beautiful.
We could hardly expect the Army to forego the benefits of close
order drill, so the sensible alternative seems to be a suitable parade
ground. The problem is to find a place which is both suitable and
convenient. —Stanley Degler.
