For the Public Welfare
LIKE a guilty conscience, the proposed food handlers'
ordinance came back to plague the city council Mon
day night, when Dr. George
again urged action on this
put the touchy problem temporarily out of sight, were
forced to look at it again, although at the close of the
session action seemed no closer than it has been all the
time.
Dr. Massey suggested a plan, which has been men
tioned in this column, for the payment of the ?S medical
examination fees required of food handlers in the pro
posed ordinance. Under this plan, employes would pay
tor the first examination, and employers would pay for
the subsequent examinations required every six months.
There is nothing revolutionary about asking people
wno worK on certain lines to make some contribution in
order to qualify. Teachers must submit to, and pay for,
examinations in order that the health of children may
be safeguarded against- disease which might be trans
mitted from a teacher. License fees are required of the
various professions. Unions exact fees from their mem
bers before the members can, go to work, or continue
working. , ; V j
That examinations of people who handle food are
Important to public health seems to be generally accepted.
The $3 limit on the examination fee, as required in the
proposed ordinance, is very low, and the cost would be
indeed small if divided in some way, such as was sug
gested by the health officer. - .
It would be a feather in the hat of this community
ft employes, through the unions, employers, and the city
officials got together on a plan for medical examinations
of food handlers that would:be really effective. It would
demonstrate a most worthy interest in the public welfare.

Finish the Job

county's showing was duplicated in the country as a
whole, no one could have complained about the results
of the nationwide drive. Even so, there is still a lot of
scrap rubber around here that has not been turned in.

has done all right, can still do better. Let's make a show

TV7ASHINGTON, July 6 Japai
Is doing alt the obvious
things preparatory to an attack
on Russia. Her naval press chief,
Capt. Ogawa, has broadcast
around the world an immodest
warning of "a huge offensive" to
come.
More and mora troops and
equipment are being filtered in
to Manchuria.
And now, no less important,
comes evidence that the Japs are
fortifying those Aleutian islands
of Attu, Agattu and Kiska as
submarine bases, which could
mean only the same thing that
they intend to prey on our Pa-
cific supply line to Russia and
isolate the nearby port of Petro
pavlovsk on the Kamchatka pe
ninsula, the only sizable harbor
in Siberia aside from Vladi-
vostok.
Those three rocks of Attu
Agattu and Kiska could mean
nothing to Japan unless she in
tended to make war on Russia,
No air fields could be established
on them, and even carrier-based
planes there must constantly
fight fog.
Consequently, many American
news readers have been inclined
to over-estimate their import
ance, some indeed suspecting
their occupation as a first step
toward conquest of Alaska or in
vasion of our Pacific coast. Those
suppositions seem fantastic.
But these three islands would
have a real live military value as
sub bases, in case Japan intends
to break up Russian trade, . No
one except the Russians, of
course, have any trade in that
part of the world.
PRICE BREAK
Price Fixer Leon Henderson
was squeezed Into making what
be called the first break in the
price ceilings, raising prices on a
number of fruits and vegetables.
As a matter of fact it was not
the first break. A few weeks be
fore Henderson raised the price
on canned citrus fruits. -
Certain powerful administra
tion senators, including Pepper
01 Florida and Connally of Tex
as, steamed into Henderson's di
vision with protests and got their
way; .
This time, however, the inne;
pressure was stronger and
longer.
Many vegetable and fruit
growers complained their prices
cua not reflect parity to growers,
although the price control law
requires this. They went to both
Henderson and Agriculture Sec
retary Wickard.
Even the American farm bur
eau federation demanded Wick
ard exert his veto power. When
ne hesitated, he was threatened
with a campaign of opposition in
congress.
So finally the farm bureau
wrote a letter to Henderson de
manding that the prices be
raised. Henderson sought a way
out. He tried to get congress to
pass a subsidy bill, providing a
bonus to the growers. Congress
refused. His appropriation bill
was coming up for consideration.
He relented.
LITTLE SABOTAGE
Landing of those German sab
oteurs . from subs along our
shores has not caused grave ap
prehensions here. Probably more
were landed than have been
caught, but Britain has been
finding rubber boats along her
snores constantly during the
war, yet has held sabotage to a
minimum.
The proof that the situation is
well In hand is that little sabo
tage has been apparent: only ma
jor incident in this country since
the war started the Normandie.
NO SALES TAX
While the tax bill does not
please anyone, it is not going to
be changed much before it Is en
acted about October 1.

" 'The huge refinery at Sugar-
land, Texas, with millions of
pounds of unrefined sugar on
hand, has been closed down two
weeks and will not reopen until
July 6, if then. Its great ware
houses at Sugarland are filled
with refined sugar, while mil
lions of pounds have been
shipped to warehouses at Hous
ton and Galveston. Having no
outlet for refined sugar the man
agement stated it had no other
alternative than to close its
