SCOUT DEN HYGIENE
Improvement Required
“A pan privy with no handwashing facilities is unsatisfactory where boys are being taught the basic principles of good hygiene, and provision should be made for a toilet for females,” said the health inspector (Mr G. W. L. Fairhall) in a report to the Paparua County Council last evening. He was commenting on conditions for sewage disposal at the Sockburn-Wycola scout deri. In addition to the privy, he said, the den had a kitchen sink with a broken waste-pipe and no proper sullage disposal. The council decided to tell the scout group, which had sought an extension from six months to three years as the period in which it must vacate the building, that any extension would depend on toilet facilities being brought to a satisfactory standard.
