can be achieved. Precaution
should include adequate cook
recon
lamination of cooked meat by
contaminated equipment, water
or infected food handlers. Food
service establishments should
monitor adequacy of cooking,
holding times and temperatures
as well as the personal hygiene
of food handlers.
Everyone shares in the con
cern for a safe food supply. The
first step in preventing food poi
soning is to assume that all foods
may cause food borne illness.
Follow these steps to prevent
food poisoning.
1. Wash hands, food prepara
tion surfaces and utensils thor
oughly before and after han
dling raw foods to prexent re
contamination of cooked foods.
2. Keep refrigerated foods
below 40 degrees F.
3. Serve hot foods immedi
ately or keep them heated above
140 degrees F.
4. Divide large volumes of
food into small portion for rapid
cooling in the refrigerator. I lot,
bulky foods in the refrigerator
can raise the temperature of
foods already cooled.
5. Remember the danger zone

Czechoslavakia
Program Given
For Students
Prague, Czechoslavakia came
much closer to Electra, Texas,
as Lenka Votavova gave sixth
grade students an account of her
home city on Friday, Jan. 29.
Lenka, an exchange stu-
dent enrolled in Electra High
School, taught the social stud-
ies classes of Mrs. Ginger
Beisch. The students are com-
pleting a study of eastern Eu-
rope.
She spoke to the students of
the long history of this area
of Europe. Czechoslavkia’s his-
tory began about 4,000 years
before Christ. The city of
Prague had an established uni-
versity before Columbus trav-
eled to North America.
Recent events of Czecho-
slavakia were explained to the
students. As of January, 1993,
the country was divided into
two countries - Czech and
Slovakia. This division was
accomplished without a civil
war. This smooth, soft change
in the country was described as
a Velvet Revolution.
Students were given a lesson
in counting from one to ten in the
Czech language. A few words or
phrases were also taught to the
students.
Lenka answered many ques-
tions from the students. Ques-
tions ranged from sports, crime,
food, and music to money.
The students learned soccer to
be Czech’s football. Crime in
Prague is committed without
a gun since only police and
army have guns. Czech food
uses much pork and dumplings.
Music of Prague ranges from
classical to American music.
The American dollar is equal to
30 Czech crowns.
America is privileged to en-
joy the most plentiful, high
quality, economical and safe
food supply in the world. De- jng an(j avoidance of
spite this phenomenal luxury,
food borne illness is an ever-
present threat like the E-Coli
outbreak in the Northwest as-
sociated with hamburgers.
The control of E-Coli pathogen: is between 40 degrees F and 140
degrees F.
6. Follow approved home can
ning procedures. These can be
obtained from the Extension
Service or from I’SDA bul
letins.
7. Heat canned foods thor
oughly before tasting.
8. When in doubt, throw it
out.
Infants, older persons, women
who are pregnant and anyone
w'ith a compromised immune
system are especially suscepti
ble to foodborne illness You are
the key to preventing food borne
illness by observing the simple
rules of good handling, food poi
soning can be eliminated.
