BOTULISMIS MENACE IN LEFT OVERS 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.

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 the salute to the . the . flat and downward as if pat} sand, the hands up heel to heel . 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: and he made a kind of Fascist sahands. 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. “I am the Chief,”’ . his own right hand, signifying ar. rest. Carmelina said: 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.’’ . . along the road expanded into tank traps, the carts never did move . s over. The General grew angrier and angrier. Now it happened that just. as he came to the Fi Rosso, or Red eral’s. armored car was’ obliged to “slow d a. cart which meana sht in the center of t] ( # eral-stood up in his car d in his deep bass voice ad about that voice in the : it's famous; one writto. . art if . ! all; i Gargano said: “It is a privilege the officials of the: town have al-°. ways enjoyed.’ Major Joppolo said: ‘‘Is; that so?”’ Gargano ‘said: “I. char 7é° this . woman with disturbing the peace and questioning authority.’ ano 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 basis. The Major would have decide the case officially. The Major decided with a speed which dazzled Gargano. He decided that the woman was right but that he could not say so, Because he did the Chief wot va ne ver regain his authority, and the Major wanted to-keep him in office Therefore he . said: ‘‘I sentence this woman to one day in jail, suspended sentence. her” go, .Gargano, and gather the officials of Adano for me at . once,”’ 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 held-over Fascists, some were new appointments to take the place of Fascists who had fled to -the hills. and with ample gesIn. whispers, “Get off the road.”’ 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 and . 41-eoming to the gray part of the fish “Colonel Middleton ‘shouted back, but & ‘a for was shorn gone : “Get off the road!”’ Unfortunately the driver of the % ( a ey te‘Gagtano, who lier that orning had sold three + 2 dozen es to American sol liers at % a) imes the proper price, had * ane 3 : ly sunk most of his profEF > R Pra * its wine OF his friend Mat* or we ‘e ‘3 tal was now sle eping a a deep + : Zz and happy sleep on the seat of his iE: re) r real Kr t * irt.

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. . . . : 1s “I’ve had enough of, these carts,” \3 Ge ay Nae re Ve WV +. ot, oY Keeton the General shouted. He was standing up in the car, waving his riding crop around. ‘‘Do they think . ; they’re going to stop the invasion with carts?” Errante slept beautifully. He was rE F . BBs just under the ribs. It melted in the mouth of his dream. Ther was, however, a sound of thunder . in the distance which made him; think nerhaps he had better cover the fish and finish eating the nice. parts after the rain. . General Marvin roared: ‘‘Do these Italians think they’re going to stop a bunch of tanks with a bunch of 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 up besides the General’s armored car was one. seep, or amphibious jeep, which did not seem to be in a hurry. Here it came. shouted: road.”’ 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,” o General Mervin “Throw that cart off the 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. PER Ga sate renteny SAR et Mt ents Me heats te atest. aR?
