[Magdalen] Cleaning and Disinfecting Churches

[Dorothy Collman]

When I was got print edition newspapers, I would save the Sunday insert comics section. The three-color printing does not rub off the way the black ink does. I would use them to cover the table when my son had some project he was working on.

Many of the TB sanatoria had excellent libraries that the small North Country community libraries could certainly use. Tests revealed that germs, including TB, didn’t survive on paper. I have no idea what the situation is when it’s a virus, not a bacterium, but germs really don’t survive on paper. That’s why, in a pinch, you can have clean “kitchen table” surgery if you cover the table with newspapers. (This, of course, assumes that there’s a stack of newspapers handy. Your iPad won’t work for this.) Anyhow, I wouldn’t worry about BCPs and hymnals, et al. The north Country libraries got lots of good books and no TB among the people who checked them out.
