PROGRESS GOOD "We are very pleased with progress made in Columbia coun ty. which now enjoys the services of a full-time public health sani tarian and a nurse as a result of work by a community health council of interested citizens," Erickson said. He listed the work of county health sanitarian. Bn Rinehart, as one of the big reasons for the improvement. Rinehart has been sanitarian for the past 17 months. According to Rinehart, the re port covered general aanitatio i of the eating places and included most of the items a cus'oniei or dinarily would not see. This would include kitchen sanitation, storage, dishwashing techniques and refrigeration facilities.
