    MILK (ARTIFICIAL CREAM)—No sample was taken for analysis du- ring the year under report. MILK (CONDENSED)—No sample was analysed during the year under report. MILK (DRIED)—No sample of this was taken during the period under review. MILK (FRESH)—The parts of the Milk and Dairies Order, 1926, ad- ministrable by the Local Sanitary Authorities were duly observed by the various Authorities and their requirements carried out very creditably. Efficiently carried out, too, are the requirements of Part IV, which, formerly devolving upon the County Council, now form part of the duties of the Ministry of Agriculture’s Divisional Inspector. • Under the Milk (Special Designations) Order of 1936, certificates issuable by the Clerk of the County Council were held by Flintshire producers at the close of the year under review as follows :—For the sale of milk wkh the special designation “ Tuberculin Tested ” 22; For the sale of milk designated “Accredited,” 538. The provisions of the Mijk (Special Designations) Amendment Order, 1938, were outlined in my 1938 Annual Report. Reports of tubercular or otherwise unsatisfactory milk sent to neigh- bouring areas by Flintshire farmers were received during the year from the Authorities of such areas as follows ;-Birkenhead, 1 ; Liverpool, 1 ;Wallasey, 6 ; Wrexham, 1. NUTRITION—Apart from the several means of disseminating infor- mation concerning food values and nutrition generally-employed mainly in the Maternity and Child Welfare Services-the Authority undertook no special campaign or effort during the year in regard to this subject. PRESERVATIVES—The arrangements made to ensure that the foods con- sumed by the public are free from dangerous preservatives are outlined in a preceding paragraph, the Regulations bearing on the subject being kno^ as the Public Health (Preservatives, etc., in Food) Regulations, 1925 to 1927. SHELLFISH (MOLLUSCAN)-The duty of reporting upon shellfish beds or layings is one which devolves upon the Medical Officer of Health for the Sanitary Districts in which such beds or layings exist.
