BOTULISMIS
MENACE IN

BERKELEY, May
poisoning may develop in
foods such.as non acid ‘fruits and
vegetables, which are not kept in the
refrigerator ‘but are allowed to stay
at room temperature, according to
Dr. J. Russel Esty, assistant professor of bacteriology at the Hooper
Foundation,W'hile most people associate botulism poisonin'g with canned vegetables, cooked uncanned food may
develop ‘botulism toxin if it is placed in a jar, sealed, and ‘held over for
later use, he points out. The cooking
has not destroyed the spores of the
botulism organism. Clostridium bot21—Botulism
ulinum, that may have been in the
(contaminated soil or dust, he ex\ ‘plains. If the food is allowed to
.
. ; stand at room temperature, or
in a cooler, toxin may form in a few
hours. Iif the food is kept in the refrigerator, there is no danger. Like‘wise botulism spores do not devolop
unless the jar is sealed; they do not
grow where there is plenty of oxygen.
Food from a jar of canned food
that has been boiled to make it safe
may also sugsequently develop botulism™ toxin iif the left over amount
is tightly covered and stored at the
room temperature.

and ‘pulled toward the chest, the
attitude of prayer, the pointing forefinger of accusation, the V as if for
victory or smoking cigarettes, the
forefinger on the chin, the rolling of
the hands. All, he used them all.
When. he approached the line, everyone thought-that he was coming
to restore order. There was‘a question in some people’s minds whether he still had authority, but they
did not feel that this was a good
time to flout the question. It would
be better to see first whether he
made any arrests.
He did not make any arrests. He

merely went up to Carmelina, wife .
of the lazy Fatta, and squeezed between her and the door of Zapulla’s
shop; and stood there. The people
could see that he was merely taking his place at the head of the line
to wait for bread.
Carmelina, who was annoyed by .
having had wood-coke thrown at her,
said truculently: ‘‘Mister Gargano,
you were Chief of the Carabinieri
under the old regime, and that entitled you to stand at the head of
the line. I am not sure that you
are still Chief of the Carabinieri.’’
Gargano said:

Carmelina said: “I
Where is the proof?”’
Gargano said: ‘‘See my uniform,’
and he ran his two forefingers from
his: shoulders to his knees.
Carmelina said: ‘‘That is no proof.
The Americans do not care how we
dress. I could dress as a rabbit
and the Americans would not arrest me.”’
Gargano said: ‘‘Woman, stop your
shouting, or I will arrest you,’”’ and
he gripped his own left wrist with
doubt.. it.

authority?”’
Margherita the formidable wife of
Craxi said: “I believe that this man
is still Chief, since the Mister Major is keeping many Fascist scoundrels in office until they prove themselves bad. But I do not believe
that under American law he has the
right to go to the head of the line.
That is where I think you are right,
Carmelina.”’
Gargano said: ‘I have always
come to the head of the line. -I
shall continue to do so,’’ and he ran
his forefinger along the length of
the line until he came to the head,
where he stood, then he pointed the
finger at the ground.
Maria Carolina, the wife of the
noisy cartman Afronti, who had
once been arrested by Gargano,
shouted: ‘‘You have no right, TwoHands. The Americans would not
permit it.’’ This was the first time
“Where is your
'Gargano had ever been called TwoHands to his face. He did not understand the reference.
Gargano stepped out of the line.
“Who questions my right?’ he
roared, and he pounded one clenched
fist on the other clenched fist.
Carmelina; wife of the lazy Fatta,
standing right beside him, startled
him by. whispering in his ear: ‘I
question it, Two-Hands.’’
Up to this time Zapulla the baker,
standing in the front of his shop,
had been torn between the two authorities, the old and the new. But}
he was so annoyed with Carmelina
for having prodded him that he now
said: ‘‘Arrest her, Mister Chief, if
you have any courage.’’
Up to this time Gargano the Chief,
somewhat unsure of his ground, had
been trying to think of a way of retiring gracefully. But now his manhood, as well as his authority, was
challenged. He moved toward Carmelina and said: ‘‘Woman, you are
under arrest.”’
Carmelina shouted: ‘‘Keep your
two active hands off me, Gargano.’’
Zapulla said: ‘‘Will you let this
woman shriek down your courage?”’
Gargano clapped his hands on
Carmelina. She screamed. All up
and down the line women shouted:
“Out with the Fascist Chief of Carabinieri. Out with Two-Hands. Out
with men who push themselves to
the head of a line ahead of women
who have been waiting three hours.’’
Gargano dragged Carmelina off
screaming and kicking, and the antiGargano, anti-Fascist screams in the
line grew louder and louder. Even
Mercurio Salvatore, although as crier he was more or less an official
and should have remained neutral
or even taken the side of Gargano,
raised his huge voice in a careful
shout: ‘‘Down with injustice!”
When Gargano pulled Carmelina
into Major Joppolo’s office, she was
still .screaming. But the Major
jumped to his feet and said sharply:
‘Silence, shrew,” and she fell quiet
at once.
‘*What is this all about?” the Major asked.
Gargano said: ‘‘This woman questioned my authority,’”’ and he pointed at her with both forefingers.
Carmelina said: ‘‘There is more
to it than that.’’
Major Joppolo said: ‘‘Your authority to do what, Gargano?’’
Carmelina shouted: ‘‘To push his
way tothe head of:the line in front
of Zapulla’s bread shop.’’

was shrewd in saying this. for he
saw that things were. going against .
him, and now he had i pot the matter
on an official rather than a personal

The Major decided with a speed
which dazzled Gargano. He decided that the woman was right but
that he could not say so, Because

When Carmelina got outside, she
ran straight back to the bread shop.
The bread was not ready yet,
the people gave her back her place
at the head of the line and shouted
to her: ‘What happened,. Carmelina? What did they do to you?’’
Carmelina told what had happened
and she said: ‘‘Did you ever hear of
such a light sentence in Adano? -I
believe in my heart that the Mister
Major thought I was right. And what
was the meaning of assembling the
. officials? I — that he was for
me.’
In the Major’s office, the officials
gradually assembled. Some were

appointments to take the place of

tures, Gargano described to them
the humiliation he had suffered, until Major Joppolo said: ‘‘Silence,
please.’’
The officials drew up in a circle
around the Major’s desk. The Major stood up.
“TI want you to be my friends,”
he said. -‘‘As my friends, I will
consider it my duty to tell you ’everything I think, for we do not. want
Adano to be a town of mysteries and
a place of suspicion. €
“Adano has been a Fascist town.
That is natural, because the country
was Fascist, therefore the town was
also. But now that the Americans
have come, we are going to run the
town as a democracy.
“Perhaps you do not know what
a democracy is. I will tell you.
“Democracy is this: democracy
is that the men of the government
are no longer the masters of the
people. They are the servants of
the people. What makes a man master of another man? It is that he
pays him for his work. Who pays
the men in the government? The
people do, for they pay the taxes
out of which you are paid.
“Therefore you are now the servants of the people of Adano. I too
am their servant. When I go to
buy bread, I shall take my place
at the end of the line, and I will wait
my turn. You too must behave
now as servants, not as masters.
You must behave as the servant of
the man without shoes just as much
as of the baron. If I find that any
of you are not giving the type of
service that I desire, I shall have
to remove you from office.
‘Remember: you are servants
now. You are servants of the people of Adano. And watch: this thing
will make you happier than you
have ever been in your lives.”
On the ninth morning, General
Marvin was driving along the road
toward Vicinamare and came to the
town of Adano. From time to time
along the road his driver had had to
slow down behind the little Italian
two-wheeled carts of the .countryside until traffic from the opposite
direction had gone by. Then he
passed the carts. :
As they passed-each cart, General Marvin waved his riding crop
in such a way as to indicate that
the cart should move over. Since
there was nothing to move over into
except the ditch, which at intervals

on the horn button against his own
wish. He was in no hurry, and
knew that no matter how fast they
went, he would only have-to wait
when they got wherever they were
going.
The mind of Errante did not react .
to the horn, even though the horn
was something urgent called a klaxon. The cart kept right down the .
middle of the road, inasmuch as
Errante’s mule was a cautious creature, just as wary of ditches on
the-right as of ditches on the. left.
This was a quality in his mule of
which Errante Gaetano often boasted to his friends. ‘‘Give me none of
your lop-sided mules,’’ he would say,
“give me a mule with a sense of ,
the middle.”’
This sense was going to be the .
undoing of his mule just now, because General Marvin’s face Wee
beginning to grow dark, and some .
veins which have never been described in the supplements began to
wriggle and pound on his forehead.

General Marvin roared: ‘‘Do these
Italians think they’re going to stop

wooden carts?’’
Colonel Middleton, the General’s
Chief of Staff, and Lieutenant Byrd,
his aide, could see the violence coming. Lieutenant Byrd looked back
along the road, but he couldn’t see
any bunch of tanks. The only thing
he could see that was being held

car was one. seep, or amphibious

Colonel Middleton, a
Byrd and the nice boy from Mass
chusetts ached all over with regret,
but there was nothing they could do
but obey. The driver stopped the
car. The three got out. They held
up the seep and enlisted the puzzled
aid of three sergeants who were
riding in it.
The six men walked forward on
the road with the bass aria of General Marvin’s anger ringing in their
ears. They did not have to run to
catch up with the cart. That was
another thing about the mule of Errante Gaetano which he liked. The
mule was good and slow. “It is a
mule,’”’ he would say, ‘“‘which lives
in the present and is not always
trotting into the future.”
Errante stirred in his sleep. The
thunder of his dream was the most
beautiful and most continuous thunder he had ever heard.
The six men surrounded the cart.
Colonel Middleton reached up to
waken Errante, but the General’s
roars grew louder. ‘‘What are you
doing?”’ he bellowed. ‘‘I told you
to throw the thing off the road.”’
“We were just going to wake this
fellow up and get him off first,”

General Mervin

the shout was weak because he knew
what the answer would be.
“Serve him right. Throw him too.
Just turn the whole thing over.”
There was no protest from any of
the six men. The only thing which
was said was muttered by Lieutenant Byrd: ‘‘The old man hasn’t been
getting enough sleep lately.’’.
Colonel Middleton went to the head
of the mule and guided it to the
side of the road. He directed the
other five men to take positions on.
the left side of the cart and to lift
together when he gave the signal.
General Marvin roared: ‘‘Come
on, get it over with. What a bunch
of softies. Get it over with.”’
Colonel Middleton gave the signal.
The five men lifted.
In his dream, Errante rose up
above the nine-foot fish and soared
off into space. The sensation was
extremely pleasant.
