PAGE TEN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON June 2, 1043 F HANDLER EXAM TABLED A food handlers' medical ex amination requirement is a good idea, but nobody wants to pay the cost, it was brought out in another discussion of the prob lem at Monday night s city coun cil meeting. Upshot "of the evening's talk was that the proposed food handlers' ordinance was tabled pending a meeting of employers, the city health board and unions representing employes. Participants in the discussion were virtually 'unanimous that there ought to be a food hand lers' ' examination. But even though the examinations would cost only $8 per year per per son, no formula developed for paying for them that was sat isfactory to all concerned. Dr. George " De Woody Mas sey, city health officer, stated that the government had be come interested in the Question of food handlers' certification here and had intimated that un less some local arrangement is made, the federals might take a hand. He said that some time ago the unions had been asked for suggestions as. to the ordi nance, but none had been forth coming. Mayor Houston stated that in quiry . had been made among various cities,: and it' had been learned that Pendleton, where there is an airbase, has no such ordinance. He said further in vestigation will be made. Harry Molatore, . . an em ployer, was the only discussant who indicated a willingness to pay part of the cost. He said the labor situation is "tough" and anything that might jeopar dize it would be unwelcome. But, he added, he believed the idea of an examination; for food handlers to be a good one and if some-plan were worked-out he would be "willing .'to. .bear part- of the- expense."-" '-'1 Louis Serruys, another em ployer, said that the labor turn over in the food , business vis "terrific" and if employers un dertook to pay the cost of cer-: tification they Would' be unfair ly burdened with costs for employes-who only work a short time. - . ' -- -Jack - Hershberger, another employer, -said he is having a very hard time keeping helpers, and that they might quit on any excuse. He said he' hopes -the examination plan ean be work ed - out without' " requiring - em ploye! to pay the bill. .': That the food handlers' examinations- arc not proving of much- value In other communi ties was the opinion of C.- O. Dryden, representing the bak ers' union.- --x.----" G. C. Tatman, culinary alli ance agent, said that Astoria is the only city that imposes a .fee upon the employe, and some trouble Is brewing over that. . Finally, it was decided to postpone reading of the ordi nance ; until later, and mean while to . have ; the three-way conference of employers, em ployes' representatives, and the health committee. . Another old question, that of permitting the fire department to go outside the city, came in for its share of the evening dis cussion, and the fire committee was asked to bring in a definite recommendation , on this . ques tion. ' . .- : . Fire Chief Keith Ambrose said the department had made two recent runs outside the city. one to the Conifer Lumber company last week, and one to the Oil City fire on South Sixth street Monday afternoon. After describing ' conditions at;the latter fire, the chief de clared: ' The regulations there are bad and I think it is wrong to leave the city and go out and help anybody under those cir cumstances. I recommend to the council that our department be refused permission to go out side the city for any reason." - He added that he ordered a truck to the Oil city fire because- it threatened the Swan Lake Moulding company plant. Councilman ' Rollin Cantrall of the fire committee took is sue with the chief, 'asserting it Is necessary to give some pro tection to industrial plants. "Klamath Falls wouldn't be much without these payrolls," he said. Mayor Houston also stated he thought protection of industrial plants should be given consid eration, and asked the fire com- 'Human" Gorilla lnT mi ill ii i rpTTninin i mm i iimiib Pictured above is Andy Callno, giant gorilla with the human brain.

He agreed with Chief Ambrose, however, that leaving the city with reduced protection in order to aid out side property is a dangerous policy. The city decided to ask for a priority rating as a prelimin ary to purchase of additional fire equipment under the re cently passed levy. It was decided the street committee will make a check of walks and curbs in the down town district and notify prop erty holders to fix any bad places before next winter. The council voted to give the Klamath Humane society a con tract for handling the dog busi ness for one year, with an al lowance of 60 gallons a month for gasoline. City- Attorney Dayton Van Vactor was given a leave of ab sence "for the duration" after he stated he might receive a call to the armed services. Chief Ambrose asked the council to consider regulations which would prohibit gas tank er trucks from parking at cer tain places where they might be considered a hazard. - Councilman Bussman com plained about the condition of Ninth street between Main and Klamath. City Engineer E. A. Thomas said the street will be patched before the summer is over.

Taking a lesson from the ex perience of tho Low Countries, these men were determined to be ready for an attack from within.

Some 200 men comprised the Klamath Guard, Most of them have now been absorbed by the pollca and sheriff's resorves and the state guard, " Theso 200 men t nil nod week ly, 'and spent on an average of three evenings a week study ing military luetics, . mapping tho county and familiarizing tht'msolves with danger spots. During a trial assemblage, 80 men reported for duty within 20 minutes. As a result of this training, they were called out Immed iately on December 7 to take over local and suburban patrol and ' guard duty.
