This total of non-Federally inspected meat was still nearly one-fourth of the Nation's meat supply in 1967. The Wholesome Meat Act of 1967 will ultimately end the game of chance that has been played by some housewives when they shoo for meat at today's modern/s3j5ermarkets. It will assure! her that virtually all the meat/on sale in the United States is inspected by either the Federal Government or an adequate State program. The basic provisions of the 1967 Act: •Broaden Federal-State cooperative arrangements to strengthen State meat inspection programs. Under this main feature of the Act, the Federal government will provide financial, technical and scientific assistant to State agencies to improve their "programs. The United States government will 5ik IRAN Trucks -- Pleasure Cars -- j\l HEADQUARTER inipers 1 DEALS i pay up to half the cost of the State program under this provision. •Authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to provide inspection at any meat plant immediately -- even if it sells only to customers within a State if the plant is a health hazard and the state fails to inspect it. •Give the State government two years to set up a State meat inspection program equal to the Federal program. If the States don't do the job, the Federal government is authorized to take over. After the two-year period, a State may be given additional time if it seems to be makihg substantial .progress. •Immediately place meat processing in the District of Columbia and unorganized territories under Federal inspection. •Immediately place "boners and cutters'K (persons who cut up carcasses into wholesale cuts or for further processing)under Federal inspection if they are engaged in interstate commerce. •Eliminate "retailer exemptions" from Federal inspection. These exemptions were,,usually given to retail dealers that did less than a USDA specified volume of business in interstate commerce. "Give the Secretary of Agriculture new authority over in- Tcfustries which could divert unfit meat to the human food supply. These persons include transporters, brokers, Tenderers, cold storage warehouses, and animal food manufacturers. •Require that meat imports meet the same strict requirements as placed on meats produced in the United States. This will include increased review of •'J. foreign systems and a thorough re-inspection at the port of entry. •Authorize regulation of meat storage and handling facilities to prevent adulteration or misbranding. "Give the Secretary power to withdraw or refuse inspection services; detention and seizure power for unfit meat; and increased investigative powers. •Combine and update the Meat Inspection Actof 1906, the Horse Meat Act, the Imported Meat Act, and other statutes covering meat inspection. President Johnson, in signing the bill, called the WhQlesome Meat Act a "landmark" in consumer protection. Getting the most benefits from the Act are American consumers, who depend on meat for their main course at many meals. Dr. Somers states. They will be able to have the assurance that the meat they serve their family, whether or not it was produced in a plant that sells across State lines, will be clean, safe, wholesome,unadulterated, and truthfully labeled. Production Record Given BRATTLEBORO, Vt. -- The 2,380th yearly production record exceeding a half ton of butterfat has been completed by a Registered Holstein cow, Pleas antland Bonnie Belle 5212487 (VG), owned by Ralph A. Muller and Sons, Pleasantland Farm, Washington. " The Illinois Holstein's official record of production totalled 20,640 lbs. of milk and 1,003 lbs. of butterfat in 365 days. She started her lactation at the age of 5 years and 8 months and was milked two times daily. "Belle" was bred in the Muller herd. She was sired by Pleasantland Admiral Hark 1372966.
