No; I haven't heard of their being qua rantined, but health au thorities will insist that they must never work as a cook. A ty phoid carrier who works as a cook is al- dr. alvakez most criminal because a number of the peo ple for whom he prepares food are likely to get typhoid fever, and some may die of it. Unfortunately, in many places the health department author ities are unable to restrain a typhoid carrier as strictly as they would like to. I remember a friend of mine, a professor of bacteriol ogy, who once was asked to go to a big construction camp to find out why so many of the workers were coming down with typhoid fever. He quickly found that the head cook was a carrier, and had him fired. A few weeks after he got back to the university, he got a telegram from anoth er big construction camp, say ing "Our men are coming down with typhoid fever, come and help us." All my friend did was to telegraph "What is the name of your cook?" Sure enough, as he ex pected, they had promptly It's Fun to PAINT S&H Green Stamps, Too!

Germs Live for Years In many of these cases the typhoid germs have lived for years in the person's gall bladder, and then the remo val of the gall bladder may work a cure. Every so often I read of a severe epidemic of "food poi soning" perhaps wtih fever, diarrhea and great prostra tion. This involved most of the people who went to a big church picnic. Practically al ways what happened was that a woman who was a carrier of para-typhoid germs was asked by the committee to prepare a big dishpan full of spaghet ti. She made it the night be fore, at which time she got the material infected from her hands. By next noon, the germs had grown and grown until the spaghetti contained billions of them.

Robert Haworth, parks and recreation director, said the pamphlets are applicable to all age groups, and contain many kinds of party ideas, from how to plan games to how to prepare special party foods. The pamphlet is not an original idea, Haworth said, but is a service that many parks and recreation depart ments throughout the coun try offer groups performing volunteer recreational duties in the communities. The first edition of the pam phlet, which the department started mailing out Friday, has 17 pages of party ideas for Washington's and Lin coln's birthdays, Valentine's day and St. Patrick's day. Five Other Pamphlets Five other pamphlets deal ing with, spring outdoor re creation, summer vacations, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas will be sent out at the appropriate times of the year, Haworth said. Approximately 300 copies of the first edition have been printed and are being sent to all recreational groups in and around Medford which request them. Requests have already been received from the Camp Fire Girls, Boy Scouts and local Granges, Haworth noted. He said the department is establishing a mailing list for the books and asks that all groups which might be inter Carefully uUUM in the MONT CREST SUBDIVISION We Will Build From Ph'one SP. 34535 Your Plans or Ours as listed in your directory j ested in having copies to con tact him at the city hall. Not all of the ideas found in the pamphlet are original with the Medford depart ment, he said, as many of them were obtained, with permission, from other parks and recreation departments throughout the country. All of the six editions of the pamphlets will be distrib uted this year, he pointed out, with supplementary editions being sent out in the ensuing years to keep the pamphlets up to date.

The bill would provide fed eral matching funds for sew age treatment plants and pol lution control. The letter, signed by Robert A. Huff, chapter president, sets forth the chapter's views regarding the bill. It states "reasonable men must agree that like the age of the last frontier, the age of the open out house is past in this country. We can no longer use the streams of our nation for pollution abatement and at 5)W the same time pump water from these same streams for municipal and domestic use. Yet this is the case in many of our communities. Unless these same communities are en couraged to treat their sewage before releasing it into streams they will attempt to live beside filth until serious health problems arise."
