Consumers Held Mostly at Fault In Food Poisoning Chicago (Science Service) Most summer outbreaks of food poisoning are the fault of the consumer, -not the fnnH processor, a University of Cbi i cago scientist has declared. "Not one in 5,000,000 pro cessed food items will be con taminated when it is shipped from the manufacturer," Dr. Gail M. Dack said. Yet an estimated 60,000 "to 90,000 Americans suffer from food poisoning every year. The large number of food poisoning incidents could be markedly cut if people took simple precautions, Dr. Dack saw. .Perishable foods should be kept refrigerated until , they are wanted for use. It takes seven hours at summer temperature to poison perish able foods, he reported. ' Food poisoning in the home can be reduced by proper treatment of frozen foods and correct methods of home can ning. Frozen foods should not ' be put back in the freezer once Ihey have thawed, Dr. uack said. Once the foods have been warmed, bacteria can grow that refreezing will not kill.- Home canning should be done carefully with a pres sure cooKer. It -takes high temperatures jto kill botuli num spores that can produce a lethal poison when allowed to grow. While the botulinum spores cause the most serious food poisoning (about 65 per cent of the cases, are fatal), most N incidents are brought on by the Staphylococcus aureus. It is this common "staph" that . causes eight out of 10 food poisoning cases and most often brings summer picnics to, unfortunate finishes, Dr Dack said., . " . .'The remaining cases, about . 10 per cent, are brought about by 600 types of Salmonella a . pacterium. While the "staph" . and botulinum germs produce poisons which, in turn, raise havoc in picnickers" stom achs, the Salmonella brings on food poisoning' all by' it self. Dr. Dack, professor of microbiology and director of the rood Research institute at the University of Chicago, reported. Price 10c Corner Druggist HasMortalityRole ' ' Norfolk, Va. - (DPD The ' fight against juvenile delin quency may be waged in the corner drug store if a 40-year- old Norfolk pharmacist has his way. - - Norman R. Sachs, who de , describes the drug store as the i "traditional family meeting ; place," has urged his col leagues to take "a more active part in community life." "Today's pharmacists owe the youth of America an al legiance in good moral con- ; duct." he wrote in a recent issue of the Virginia Pharma . cist. - - "Tradition has placed the corner drug store as the focal meeting place of persons for years on end. Besides being a local merchant, the'pharma- cist is a respected professional ; man. His opinions and his ac tive support and participation in civic adventures are sorely sought." , Sachs, who has been in the business for 19 years, says druz stores have a welfare role to play in society.- ' "Mre than any other busi nessman," he said, "the phar macist is in a position t un derstand the problem r- juve nile delinquency and to give guidance and support to neip curb the rising rate and sever ity of delinquency. v 'lion-Recognition' Didn't Help Trees Eggertsville, N. Y."- (DPI -. About 1,000 small evergreen trees valued at $1,500 were destroyed recently when Eg gertsville firemen refused to call for help from a volunteer company , right acr oss the street. " Mrs. Henry P. - Brummer said the trees were burned during a grass fire that spread across some 20 acres of her land, and it wasn't until the police stepped in that outside help was sought to fight the blaze. By then it was too late. Volunteer . members of the North Bailey Fire Company sat across the street watching the Eggertsville Fire Compa ny trying to put out the fire, but the Eggertsville men re fused to Hk for assistance. A spokesman later explained: "We do not recognize North Ba'ley as a fire company." As for the North Bailey firemen, they're barred" by law from fighting a fire in the Eggertsville district until their aid in specifically : re quested.

Y. - (UPD Students at Niagara Falls public schools better behave this fall. The Niagara Falls Board of Education has adopted a new disciplinary program under which corporal punishment exercised with restrain may be used on a student when With Restraint' OK'd other recommended methods have failed.

Imbler Woman Dies As Vehicle Overturns Genessee, Ida (DPD - Mrs. Mildred Royes, 34, of Imbler, Ore., was injured fatally when the station wagon she was driving overturned on Highway 95 about two miles south of here Tuesday night. Her' husband, Clifford, -and The first power mower was turned out in 1890 by Ley land Motors, ah English firm. It weighed half a ton and was operated by a steam engine. their two small sons were not hurt seriously. The family appeared to be en route home after a fishing trip in Can ada. , Canadian Dollar Worth a Bit More Niagara Falls, N. Y. - (DPD -The Canadian dollar is worth a few cents more than the U.S. dollar, but not .every body knows this. Recently, a nine - year - old boot-black stole $300 to $400 in 1 American and Canadian money from a drugstore here and went on a spending spree - with the U.S. bills only. The boy told police who nabbeoi him "that he tore up all the Canadian bills because he thought they were worth less. - Most Blind People Like Helping Hand . Milwaukee - (DPD - When you see a blind person stand ing on the corner waiting to cross a busy street, do you assist him or do you feel that perhaps he would rather you didn't interfere?. . Alvin Blood', president of the Badger Association of the Blind, says "most blind per sons genuinely i welcome as sistance . in . crossing streets, entering public buildings or finding a seat on a bus." "If you walk with a blind person or help him across the street, ; it , .will be easier for him if you offer him your arm,'.' says Blood. "The mo tion of your body usually lets him know what to expect If giving directions, be sure to say right or left accordiag to the way the blind person is facing." When you enter, a room where there is a blind person, be sure to say something, if only a word, Blood said. If necessary, let him know who you are, he said. "Above all, always ask a blind person if he wishes help," Blood continued. "Many blind people can do things easily for themselves and do not like being helped without first being asked. When in doubt, a safe nil l follow is to give the blind person credit for being a normal person and then act accordingly." a? Builders Supply I QUALITY BLOCKS . Drain Til . Bricks, Flues 727 W.
