West Announces Platform For Coming Election Home Canners Warned to Lookout for Botulism Poisoning; Precautions Given “Guard against botulism” is the warning sent out by Dr. Bertram P. Brown, chairman of the State Council of Defense Committee of Health, to the increasing number of home canners throughout the nation. “War-time thrift and victory gardens will be responsible for more home canning by housewives than ever before this year,” Dr. Brown said. HIGHLY FATAL “Botulism, a highly fatal poisoning, is caused by home-canned foods, and it is anticipated that there will be many deaths due to it unless an extensive educational campaign is conducted,” Brown stated. Dr. Brown says that home-canned foods can be eaten without danger of botulism if the following simple precautions are observed: 1. Never eat home-canned vegetables, meat or fish, even in tiny amounts, without first boiling the food for at least 15 minutes after removing it from the container. This MUST be done because it is not possible to tell that the food is capable of causing botulism by looking at it or smelling it. 2. If in doubt about fruits, remove them from the container and boil them. The odors of decomposition will warn you. 3. Never eat any canned food which shows mold growth or appears in any way to be abnormal, such as having a bad odor or coming from a bulged container. Illness from the disease usually occurs from 24 to 48 hours after the food has been eaten. Symptoms include muscular weakness, disturbance of vision, loss of ability to swallow and talk. The pulse is rapid and the temperature is below normal. There is rarely any pain or symptom of indigestion. Death is due to paralysis which makes breathing impossible. “Call a doctor,” Dr. Brown said, “as soon as the first symptoms are noticed. Prompt medical care can sometimes save the life of the patient.” Registration For Summer Music Classes To Be Held Here Monday at High School Registration for the first summer instruction in music at Anaheim high school will be held next Monday at the music building from 8 a.m. to 12 and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., according to William Cook, director of instruction.
