12 The Health Bulletin August, 1945 as food. Simple Way to Pasteurize Equipment needed for pasteurization includes bottles, caps, a special dairy thermometer, and a pail with a rack in the bottom. If the milk comes in bottles, it can be pasteurized as it comes. Otherwise, it should be poured into bottles and each bottle closed with a tight cover. To pasteurize milk, remove the cover from one bottle, and pour out a little milk. Punch a hole in the cover, and then put the cover back on. Insert the special thermometer in the hole. Then, set all the bottles of milk on a rack in a pail filled with cold water, which comes nearly to the top of the bottles. Then heat the water containing the milk bottles until the thermometer registers 145 degrees fahrenheit. Then, remove the pail from the heat, but leave the bottles in the hot water for 30 minutes. If, within that period, thermometer falls below 145 degrees, reheat and keep it at that temperature. After the 30-minute period has elapsed, replace the water in the pail gradually with cold water until the milk has cooled. Then, keep the milk in a cold place, preferably in a refrigerator, of course. Many have a mistaken idea that pasteurization is unnecessary in the country, where the milk supply goes directly and promptly to the consumer. As a matter of fact, pasteurization is necessary anywhere, to be on the safe side, as epidemics of milk-borne diseases may have their source on the farm where the milk is produced. Sterilize, Screen for Safety To protect yourself against malaria, avoid going where the anopheles mosquito is known to be present. In any event, see that the camp house you occupy or the cottage you rent, or the hotel in which you are a guest, is properly screened. This will not only protect you while indoors against all breeds of mosquitos, but also against house flies and other flying insects which may cause sickness or discomfort. Be sure to guard against flies, which transmit filth-borne diseases and constitute one of the greatest menaces to health, being carriers of typhoid fever and other germs. Wherever you are, avoid ticks and fleas, which transmit serious diseases, including ' o Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and typhus fever. Avoid Swimming, Bathing Hazards During the summer months bathing and swimming constitute our chief seasonal outdoor recreation. Both are invigorating and healthy, but each has its dangers. Swimmers and bathers, therefore, should guard against cramp while in the water, which may result in drowning, and in excessive sun burn, which may have very serious consequences. Do not overexpose yourself to the direct rays of the sun. It would be best to ask your personal physician for advice on this subject. He can tell you just how much you ought to be able to stand, in the way of exposure to the sun, and give you other valuable sue. gestions which, if followed, may save you much trouble and perhaps illness. It is hoped that all who can do so will take a vacation, or rest period of some kind, because every one needs relaxation and recreation. But, wherever you go, make sure that you will return to your home refreshed, rather than afflicted by some condition or disease that could have been prevented by the use of good judgment and common sense. Announcement There has recently been received from the printer a supply of supplement number 1, volume 60, of the Health Bulletin. This supplement is a reprint of the State Board of Health Communicable Disease Regulations, the revised edition of which was adopted in December 1944. Official notice of the publication of these regulations is hereby given, as required by law. Copies of the above supplement to the Health Bulletin may be obtained by writing to the Division of Epidemiology, State Board of Health, Raleigh, N. C.
