![MILK (SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS) ORDER, 1936 The following licences for the sale of designated milks granted by the Dorking Urban District Council, were in operation during the year: Dealer’s Licence to sell Tuberculin Tested milk, bottled by the Dealer 1 Dealer's Licence to sell Tuberculin Tested milk, obtained by the Dealer in bottles 1 Dealer's Licence to sell Pasteurised milk _ 2 Supplementary Licence to sell Tuberculin Testedmilk 4 SuiDplementary Licence to sell Pasteurised milk 4 IVISAT AND OTHER FOODS The Senior Sanitary Inspector's report contains information regarding the ins]pection of animals after slaughter at a licensed private slaughterhouse, and details of unsound food surrendered and destroyed. ICE-CRSAM The ice-cream samples taken by the Sanitary Inspectors are listed in Mr.‘ Allan's report. It v/ill be noted that the system of provisional grading, based on the result of the methylene blue reductase test, still operates. FOOD HYGIENE The Senior Sanitary Inspector's Report contains a list of the premises connected with food, together with details of action taken under Section 13 of the Food and Drugs Act, 1938. In general, it may be said that routine visits by the inspectors, who take the opportunity of emphasising the need of hygienic conditions while talking to managers and staff, have a good effect. Where this educational method has not produced results, notices of contravention have been served, and where failure has still resulted, the Council have supported their officers in authorising legal proceedings. The Senior Sanitary Inspector suggested to the Committee that lectures should be given to food handlers so as to make them fully aware of their responsibilities and of the care needed, and at the end of the year he received authority to circularise the food traders in the district to find out 7/hat support would be given to a series of lectures on food hygiene. It is gratifying to note that a manufacturer of ice-cream in the district not only has frequent chemical and bacteriological samples taken privately in addition to our sampling, but also arranged for all his staff to be medically examined.
