Therefore, always keep your hands clean and cuts covered

(5) Clean clothing
- CLEAN FOOD.
And please remember that the Council's Sanitary Inspectors
before the day of the Fair, and the Inspectors on duty at the

The Council has already
(a) improved the temporary toilet facilities;
(b) improved the water supply and the number of stand pipes;
(c) sited the food stalls in a compound as far as possible away

(d) endeavoured to persuade individual stallholders to instal
and use water heaters and supplies of detergents and sterilants
for washing-up purposes.

Practices. In fact, it is virtually impossible for your Inspectors,
in such circumstances, to take samples, let alone bring home to
the vendors, the need for personal hygiene.
