The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem. Oregon; Tuesday Morning, January 21, 1930 FACK THREE V SIC ft I i i . S 5 "I- mm UWJPODEL Local Ordinance Similar to - One Prepared by U. S. Health Body Strangely enough, the milk ordinance which has been in force in Salem in the past year and a halt is almost identical to the model milk law devised by the United States health senrlee. E(Jv.ard Lee Russell, school phy sician, told his sophomore health education class Monday morning in an address on "Milk Preserva tion in Relation to Health." The Salem milk ordinance was pub lished beWre the federal pnttera. As a result of Ru3seH's address, the high school students learned much about the city's milk supply that they knew not before, and much that may be parsed on wiih advantage to mothers and fath ers. They learned, for example, that lwcr.use mil It is one of the most difficult foods to handle and be cause of directive handling of this "foster mother of the human race," infant mortality in the 1'nited States wis hi?h before improvement of the milk supply w3 made. In 1900, infant mor tality was 210 per 1000; now. thanks tr milk regulations and better knowledge of handling milk, only 67 infants per 1000 die in this country. Since work of the Commonwealth Fund In Marion county the rate here la down to 34.6 per 1000. le:s than half that for the country. Average IaUy Consumption :?,IOO Gallons An average of 3,100 gallons of milk is consumed In Salem each day, Russell told the class. In connection with discussion tot the local milk ordinance it self, the students found that re quirements could be segregated briefly: tuberculin testing of all dairy herds every 12 months; pe- riotic inspection of dairy barns and equipment; milk house must he separate .from barn or Jiouse and milk cooled below 50 de crees Fahrenheit or delivered to hours; milk must be under 50,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter; safe water supply and sanitary tni'et; health examination for all milk handlers; eoncrete floors, cleanable walls and proper light ing and ventilation must be in all pasteurizing plants; steriliza tion by steam or chlorine solu tion; mechanically bottled and capped. Per Cent Butter-fat Fhod as Minimum . The ordinance also provides for pasteurization, free of all v'-ible" dirt and must contain not 'less than. 3.25 per cent but- i erf at. Salem milk supply is row 80 per cent clean as a re fult of the, ordinance, as against 70 per cent fairly clean and 30 per cent dirty in 1924, Russell s-iid. Pasteurization has increas fd from 60 per cent in 1925 to 84 per cent in 1930. In the last 18 months, three times as many milk house as before in use have born constructed and bacteria ejunt in 192S was 6000 for pas teurization, a drop of 3.000 over the previous year, and for raw milk the count in 1929 showed Jl',o00,-a drop of 3,000 front ir28. Only grade A raw and grade A pprteurized milk is sold in Salem, nd all butter and ice cream is paf'eurized, the latter by state law, he told the st'udents. PW PTFD m iHT'S OFffli NEW YORK. Jan. 20. (AP) The stock market began the new week today with a relapse Into speculative apathy. Price trends were shifting and indefi nite, and represented little more tUan the shifting of professionals scalping for a point or two. Sales totaled 1.692,640 shares, only moderately above the turnover for Saturday's abbreviated ses sion. The market was subjected to rather sharp bear pressure dur ing the first hour, rallied moder ately before midday, and wore a ragged aspect until the last half Jiour, when prices firmed up un der the influence of short cover ing. Net changes at the close were largely narrow. The price index of 90 leading stocks showed a gain of only 1-5 of one point. Credit remained easy, with call loans again renewing at 4 per rent, and the rate later dropping to 4.

Classification of Cons And Sejegation Asked By Officials of Oregon The more hardened type of criminal must be kept apart from tne younger first time offenders if the criminal corrective systeu or tne state is to reach its highest possible efficiency, is the opinion of officials at the Oregon state penitentiary. This phase of the criminal problem is one of the most serious, an 1 final solution rests with the legislature which plone has authority to provide funds for making segregation of prisoners possible, they declare. The late Governor Patterson, prior to his death, conducted an exhaustive investigation of the criminal problem with the result that he Issued a public statement that he intended to go before the 1931 legislature and seek funds with which to establish a prison annex. It was proposed by the late governor that the annex would be utilized for housing youthful first-term offenders who are now committed to the main institution. The survey conducted by the late Governor Patterson indicated that the cost of establishing the proposed prison annex would not exceed $50,000. Virtually all of the money would he used in the construction of buildings on state lands formerly occupied by the old state training school for boys. It was planned to carry on inten sive farming operations at the an nex so that the youthful prison ers would be kept busy during the period of their incarceration. The plan proposed by the late Governor Patterson received the indorsement of Henry Myers, su perintendent, and other officials of the state penitentiary. Myers declared that such segregation probably would be the means of restoring to useful citizens a large number of young men who other wise would become confirmed criminals. In connection with the prison annex proposal the late governor also had recommended the estab lishment of a parole system sim ilar to that now in operation at the state training school for boys. decline of only 0.16 per cent to 6.16 per cent. The backing and filling nature of the market dur ing December was reflected in the mci mai me average price per i listed snare rose only 4 6 cents to $57.38, as of January 2. Amusement shares, with the notable exception of Fox Film which sagged close to its low, were sent upward by bulls endea voring to get a public following on the theory that the industry is depression proof. Radio Keith was again in good demand.

Under the system adopted at the boys" school, a large number of the inmates have been paroled, and in only a few cases have they been returned to the institution. The success of this parole system probably is due to the fact that good homes are found for the boys, and they have personal su pervision after their release. A financial statement prepared by the late Governor Patterson a few days before his death showed that the parole system at the boys' school had been a complete success, and that more than $40, 000 had been saved to the taxpay ers during the past two years. 7"e enrollment at the school also' was reduced materially, with the re sult that only three of the four cottages are occupied at thie time. While Governor Norblad has not yet had time to make a thor ough study of the prison annex proposal, he indicated that he would favor such an intermediate institution. Governor Norblad is an attorney, and for several years was prosecutor in the Clatsop county district. This experience brought him in close touch with the criminal class, and gave him an opportunity to study their problems. Govefnor Norblad announced yesterday that he would hold a conference with prison officials within the next, few days, when, the prison annex proposal would be given consideration. In. case the costs are not too great, it is probable that the governor will give the plan his approval. Although the Oregon state pen itentiary was constructed to han dle a maximum of 550 prisoners, the population now exceeds 82.5, It has been necessary to asslen two men to each cell, which offi cials said is contrary to the best interests of prison discipline. With the completion of the new administration building and two-story garage late in February, congested conditions in the main prison will be relieved temporar ily. Approximately 40 trusties now housed in the main cell blocks will be transferred to the upper floor of the garage. A smaller number of prisoners will be transferred to quarters in the administration building. 1 Further improvements, includ ing the proposed prison annex, 1 probably would defer for many I yeara the construction of a new institution where the present pen itentiary now stands. Officials who have studied the prison annex proposal, said th-. plan would not only have a ten dencv to imorove materiallv thr morale of the prisoners, but would result in a huge financial 10 Sill MEET The Chemeketans, Salem's rap idly growing hiking and moun taineering organisation, will hold their second annual banquet and "high Jinks" tonight at 6:30 in the Y.

Be cause of the snow, the Salem dis trict Methodist Men's council held here Wednesday evening, had a small attendance. Early Wed nesday there was a serious con sideration of postponing the meet ing entirely, but difficulty in no tifying the men in other places made it necessary to go ahead. Sixty men gathered at the church to enjoy the meal prepared by the Ladies' Aid and to enjoy the program prepared by Secretary Roy Lochenour. The program consisted of com munity singing led by Dr. Littler, of Albany. Short talks by va rious laymen, marimba music by Miss Edith Findley, vocal solos by R. A. Raymond, and an ad dress on Mexico by Dr. P. A. Ma-gruder- of Oregon State college. Because of the storm. Dr. Pratt of Portland, did not come. Attendance by places was as follows: West Salem, 26; Leslie M. E. and First M. E., each 10; Jason Lee, Mill street and Turner, each three; and one each from Al bany, Corvallis, Yamhill and Jef ferson. The only car which came in from outside the city was driven ry Rev. W. S.
