?1I LK <br />COUNTS Mr. McQuillan went on to say he was very disturbed with <br />the milk counts and he wondered what could be done about them. <br />Mr. Heustis said he had sent violation notices to Cumber- <br />land Farms, Deary Bros., Stop & Shop, Ware Dairy, Blue <br />Ribbon Dairy after the June lath analysis. He also ex- <br />plained that the 3 samples of a single kind of milk on the <br />July 716th analysis, labeled 1, 2, 3 were for official <br />sampling according to the Milk Regulations Board procethr . <br />The Board asked if the local health office in the <br />town where the pasteurization plant was located were in- <br />formed of these high counts, and had any of them been in <br />touch with Mr. Heustis. <br />1 <br />Mr. Heustis said "Yes" but to date he has not heard <br />from anyone. He went on to say that if he had a pasteuri- <br />zation plant in his town he would check with the plant <br />immediately if he had received reports such as these. <br />Dr. Cosgrove asked if he belonged to a health officer's <br />organization and if so why didn't he bring this up at one <br />of the meetings. <br />Mr. McQuillan said he thought that possible a meeting <br />of the milk dealers would be a good idea, this meeting <br />would be a closed meeting and then they could discuss this <br />problem and see if there was an answer to this problem. <br />The Board agreed and instructed Mr. Heustis to notify the <br />dealers of this meeting and also to contact Mr. John Con- <br />don, Laboratory man, to attend. The meeting will be ar- <br />anged later and the Board notified. <br />The swab testing on eating utensils were also discussed. <br />SWAB The Board questioned the continued high counts on the <br />TESTS frappe machines and the ice cream scoops. <br />Mr. Heustis explained that the law required ice cream <br />scoops to be kept in running water while in use. The frappe <br />machines could gather an accumulation on the lip of the <br />machine after repeated use. This is just an educational <br />type procedure. <br />1 <br />Mr. McQuillan asked what he was going to do about it. <br />I don't believe it is good to have these continued high <br />counts if nothing is done about correcting them. <br />Mr. Heustis said he has mentioned these things to <br />the propietors. <br />Dr. Cosgrove said he would like to know what the <br />solution is on the ice cream scoops. <br />Mr. Heustis said that actually this was an educational <br />thing, and there was no record of any epidemics being caused <br />by ice cream scoops of high bacteria from this type of thing. <br />2 iT <br />
