A state official accompanied by

of a number of establishments here.
A few dajys later Mr. Dillinger re-

the owners thereof were informed
as to the findings.
All were found above the aver-
age. suggested corrections were
comparatively few and one place in
particular was found 100 percent.
The inspector remarked the latter
was one of the few places in his
district, probably in the state, with
such a record.
This speaks well for all establish~
ments visited and we feel proud of
the men and women who respect
cleanliness as many do godliness.
