September, 1947 The Health Bulletin 11 lems arose, and there were many, cooperative consultation ironed them out. Strict adherence to the restaurant regulations, visual planning for eye appeal and cooperative planning for patron service and safety were embodied in these efforts. Gradually the struggling infant began to grow. "The results of these efforts, a three year record of achievement for Rocky Mount's foodhandling industry, portrays civic pride of progressive management. For instance, during this period ten new restaurants have been built and completely equipped, ten have been completely remodeled, twenty-four have been partially remodeled and re-equip-ped and at this writing seven are being completely renovated and re-equipped. This program has involved an expenditure in excess of $500,000.00, all of which has been entirely voluntary. The city health department has supervised, encouraged and used its facilities to promote this city-wide revolution in public food handling. However, the restaurant operators themselves have taken the initiative in promoting their segment of local industry to a higher level. "What does this better public food-handling program mean in terms of community benefits? First, it means that better equipment and working conditions promote foodhandling personnel efficiency. Second, better equipment and safer foodhandling assures stronger barriers to safeguard the community health. Third, a better food-handling service creates a bigger and better drawing card for bigger and better community business. "Business leaders agree that a progressive restaurant industry is essential for continued growth, business stability and prosperity of Rocky Mount. Strategically located in the heart of a rich agricultural section, this city has become the shopping and transportation center of eastern North Carolina. Daily rail service by forty passenger and forty five through freight trains brings New York or Miami within overnight distance. In addition to air transportation Highways 64 and 301 cross here. "To the visitor Rocky Mount's tobacco industry, the third largest in the bright leaf world, with its myriad workers, dollars and romance is typified by the chant of the auctioneer. Here also the Gallopade festival with its gala pageantry and the world famous annual June German dance are institutions of community pride. This friendly city with a council manager plan of government owns its public utility facilities consisting of water, gas, sewage and electric plants which are valued in excess of $6,000,000. "It has a retail trade area of 60 miles with a population of 321,000. Rocky Mount schools, churches, hospitals, parks and other community facilities portray civic pride of a population that is 99.4 American born. Amid an environment of gracious living industry and agriculture have combined to enrich the entire area, making possible the expansion of Rocky Mount's restaurant industry. The local foodhandling industry's adaptation of progressive community trends has resulted in a better restaurant program. "How have the results of this program effected compliance with the restaurant regulations? The last city-wide grade average was 6.8% higher than the grade average of a corresponding period three years ago. To the casual observer this may appear to be an insignificant increase. Yet to those with an insight into the foodhandling business it represents the elimination of many loopholes which could easily have been a threat to the community health. Among many other things this 6.8% increase represents properly sanitized dishes, adequate refrigeration, better premises maintenance and personnel observance of foodhandling do's and don'ts. It represents the difference between better health and potential epidemic. "For instance, each food handling establishment in Rocky Mount is inspected monthly and graded quarterly by a representative of the city health
