Design And Construction

The wider utilization of pipeline milking on the farm has resulted in the adaptation of cleaning-in-place procedures for these types of installations. The problems involved in such procedures have led many health departments to issue special regulations. The new developments in equipment design and cleaning procedures should not be hindered by stagnate regulations. The 1953 edition of the Milk Ordinance and Code Recommended by The Public Health Service accepts the principle of pipeline milking and the cleaning-in-place procedures, but acknowledges that design and construction standards should be flexible. The cleaning and bactericidal treatment of this equipment must be determined by the usual standards of inspection.

Dairy Technology

The new edition of the Public Health Service Milk Ordinance and Code represents the first complete revision since 1939. Many significant changes and modifications have been mode therein to keep abreast of advances in the fields of dairy technology, veterinary medicine, and public health. Among the most significant changes are strengthening of the provisions relating to brucellosis control in dairy herds; inclusion of methods for the cleaning-in-place of milk plant pipe lines; changes in the requirements for the cooling of milk on dairy farms; and an option that health departments may accept, subject to official check, industry's laboratory results of tests of raw milk for pasteurization. The 1953 Milk Ordinance is a mandatory-pasteurization type; however, a list of the changes to be mode to permit the sale of Grade A retail raw milk has been included for those communities unwilling to require compulsory pasteurization. A new feature is the inclusion of a separate Appendix which contains much of the explanatory material formerly scattered throughout the Milk Code.

...The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, a 40-year deathwatch over the lives of more than 400 black sharecroppers in Macon County, Ala. [was a nightmare]. ...There, from 1932 to 1972, the United States Public Health Service conducted a "study," which was actually, as historian James H. Jones shows, an ugly collaboration involving Public Health Service physicians, local private practitioners (white and black), the prestigious all-black Tuskegee Institute and Hospital, the county and state health departments, even draft boards.

Cancer Control Program

ON JANUARY 1, 1967, the Cancer Control Program will become part of the National Center for Chronic Disease Control within the Public Health Service's new Bureau of Disease Prevention and Environmental Control. Our primary mission is to stimulate and encourage the application of currently available techniques of cancer prevention, cancer detection, and cancer control to the community at the grass roots level. If this will be the case after the reorganization remains to be seen. Figure 1 shows the new organization of the Public Health Service. By way of illustration, I think it would be well to briefly outline a few of our activities. An area of heavy emphasis has been the use of the Papanicolaou smears for cervical cancer control. These programs have been responsible for developing certified cytotechnology training schools, supporting and training large numbers of cytotechnicians. In addition, we are supporting some 90 hospital-based cervical cancer screening projects across the country. A program to encourage the general practitioner to screen his private patients in the office is jointly sponsored by the American Academy of General Practice and the Cancer Control Program. The very grave problem in the United States of smoking and carcinoma of the lung is the major responsibility of tile National Clearinghouse for Smoking and Health, a part of the Division of Chronic Diseases which developed out of the Cancer Control Program. We are engaged in a number of developmental projects, such as the flexible fiber optic proctosigmoidoscope. We hope to be able to produce a proctosigmoidoscope that will reach the splenic flexure.
