m. Wallace Sharpe, Provincial “mm-y Engineer was the guest maker at a recent meeting of the Prmcb Edward Island Camillnl

iation. The members o! the “Mignon gained much knowledge [mm Mr. Sharpe's address.

m his discourse Mr. sharps touched on ma!!! imiwﬂlﬂl D0111"- Q llldi -. y‘ Hm happy camper is a healthy cm-npﬂ‘, Let us iirst consider disease and illness as related to “mping. We 'may compare the ipfiﬂd of disease to Dlantlnl l reed in the soil where the disease or seed is the sick person or the carrier and the soil the well per- son. In sanitation we are parti- euiarly interested in the mechanical transportation of the seed to the wil, whether by means oi droplets in the air, dust, insects, eating utensils, personal hygiene, im- proper disposal methods or food

and water.

"With water and milk we have ﬂuids which most everyone par- takes of each day. Thus if any disease organisms were to be pre- scnt we would expect almost a 10041. expo ure amongst the camp- ers. This is the reason for so much emphasis being placed on the water and milk supply. The Sani- tary Engineering Division of y ur Health Department is most wil ng to test both of these supplies for you and to offer suggestions for their improvement.

The Camp Kitchen

"Next let us consider the camp kitchen. If one cannot keep iood hot keep it cold! This is sound advice around a kitchen. Disease organisms may be considered to be at any optimum temperature for growth at 96.8 degrees Fahren- heit, in other words, at body ‘emper- nture. Bacteria will not multiply in a temperature range of less than 50 degrees F. whereas at 170 de- grees Fahrenheit for two minutes sterilization will ba accomplished. The danger area. for bacterial growth is between B0 degrees F and 120 degrees F and ii’ food is kept on ice the bacteria will lend to be dormant and not grow until exposed to a more preferred temperature.

"Let us next consider camp dlahwashing procedure. We lmow that any infection contained on eating utensils have a very good chance for general distribution amongst the campers. It is, there- lore, important to disinfect by economical means all the dishes and eating utensils. It is suggested that a three tub set-up be used where a good detergent such as Surf. Vcl, Tide, etc, is used in the first tub, a ll0 degrees F, rinse in the second and a lilo degrees F, 100 p.p.m. chlorine solution be used in the third for the sterilizat- ion of the dishes and utensils. It is considered good practice to ‘re- move all food particles by scraping before washing the dishes as these

OPIWWA, May i: - (OP) — Prairie soils are "extremely dry." particularly over wide areas of Ai- berta and Saskatchewan, with rainfall "for below normal," the Bureau of Statistics reported today in its first 1949 a y of trans- Osneda crop conditions.

The Bureau said it was evident that there would be "significant" increases in wheat acreage; on the Prairies this year, with ahanp do- clinee is sowlngs of fianaeed and

However, immediate rains are needed in many Prairie district.

Reporting on conditions across Canada generally, the Bureau said the sprLn season, with few ex- ceptions. considerably advanced. as compared with a year ago.

The glowing season in the Maritime Provinces is from 10 days to two weeks in ad- vance ot last year. The land is drying rapidly and spring work is getting under way in some areas. Seeding is expected to be general within the next week or two.

Livestock appears to halve come through the winter in good shape and are being put out to pasture in some of the southern districts. Fruit trees have wlntered well and the blossom prospect is good. Early potato plantings have been started and iruok crop planting is ad- vancing.

organics cut down the efficiency of all three compartments which would necessitate frequent chang- ing oi solutions. Also in place of 100 p.p.m. chlorine solution 170 de- grees F water with a two minute contact period will accomplish the same result.

"With regard to waste disposal from the kitchen this may be divided, into three separate pro- ducts. (l) cans; (2) liquid wastes and grease; (3) solids.

Disposal of a Cans

“Cans are a simple material to handle but if not handled correctly they can be as offensive as most other wastes. They should be rinsed and cleaned and thus rendered free from food materials. They are then prepared for dumping with little chance of being oifensive.

"Liquid wastes and grease are a problem which requires equipment and planning. It is suggested that the Public Health Department be asked to co-operate in the setting up of the liquid disposal system at the camps. To do an adequate job of liquid waste disposal a grease trap is considered essential with drainage into a tile field or cess- pool. Li this is done properly with frequent inspections and skimming of the grease trap the pores ot the soil will remain open and will not require freqquc-nt changing of the system and erqoensive labour hills.

"Solid wastes from the kitchen should be collected in covered con- tainers and emptied at least once a day. ‘These wastes should be thoroughly drained and disposed of by burial with an adequate earth covering placed over each deposit of garbage. Chloride of lime may be used in the dump area to lesson the fly and odour oiiense but bugle! if adequate should be suffici- en .

"Most camps on the Island arc

using outdoor facilities. It is most important to have these privies fly tight and supplied with self closing doors and seat covers. Also the vault should be absolutely light proof and never be tilled too full. Most well-managed camps find it necessary to baclciill the trenches each year and re-locate over fresh- ly dug pita. "When you are preparing the camping facilities this year I wish that you would set aside time for reviewing the water and milk supply at your camp and also the cooling and dishwashing facilities. The disposal problem may be your chief worry but whatever your problem is, please feel free to call on your Health Department for help in these matters."
