A total of 157 food service remises (eating estab- ents, cafeterias, hotels and bars, private halls and clubs, food booths) must be regularly inspected and dish swabs and food samples must be collected for laboratory analysis. All mises where food is manufactured, prepared, stored and packaged must also be regularly covered and such premises include dairies, soft drink plants, ice cream manu- facturers, etc. A total of 120 retail food out- lets (grocery and variety stores, bakeshops, butcher shops, mar- kets, etc.) are also-all included in the program, as are the numerous refreshment vehicles and food vending machines operated in the City.

The past year has seen prog: ress made in many areas of endeavour, but some problems) are atill with us and present) _ continued concern. These are! mainly as follows: 1. The continued delay in realizing an adequate bylaw governing minimum standards of housing in the City. 2. The over-all deplorable gar-| bage storage practices through- out the City.

The article points out that the history of the band dates back almost 100 years, and adds "For many years the great friend and sponsor of the band has been Col. R. S. McLaughlin to whom the bandsmen are gratefully indebted for equip- ment and instruments. Without his continued generosity, they could not have maintained their success." Since Col. McLaughlin pre- sented the Memorial Park band- shell to the City in 1942, it con- tinues, the band has presented more than 300 concerts there. Captain Geore Quick, a licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music (Eng.), and Royal College of Music (Eng.) is the director. Many boys have been trained cases they have been supplied with instruments, These classes have ranged from six to 47 boys, says the article, and many Gold Medals have been won by the group.

Since 1936, there have been periods in the life of the band when as many as 12 fathers and sons have been playing simultaneously in the group "Today we have these sons grown up, married and doing the same routine with their Reg W.
