TO TIE EDITOR:

Those Of who use Horvoy's milk
were not SO oGrooob1y surprised to re-
coivo @ notice announcing On increase
Of virtually toz, per cont in price,
effective July IT,, 1888. Later in tho
day, heard from drivers Of two other
dcirics that the same price boost nj ht
be expected.
Fhct VIC found particularly offensive
in tho announcement Was tho statement
that tho raise wos made necessary be-
cause social security end unemployment
taxes had bocorlo q ajor expense and
distinct burden. Thoro wore tho othor
standard roos always advanced by
dairios to support price rise, but
first and foremost wCs tho excuse Of
social security taxes.
This slacls Of tho pay envelope
propoG anda SO prevail ont during our
last presidential elections and is
deliberate attempt to arouse opposition
to the Social Security Act and, at the
solao tino, to pass along to tho
sulor tho snail tax which is legally
and morally the responsible lily Of tho
employer.
Regarding tho contontio on that tho
dairy farmer must be paid moro,
fail to understand Why tho farnor con
not DO paid fair prico and, ct the
osol1o tine, tho consumer receive milk
for, moro nearly the sono prico in
many of tho largo cities Of America.
Tho prico Of mi Tx in WASHINGTON is
higher than in most othor localities
and to argue that, ovon with tho in
creased pricc effective July II, citi-
zons Of Groenbo1t Will still be getting
nj X cheaper than in Washington, is
dorulinG with faint praise to say tho
least.
Should the Coop continue to sell
ilk for olovon cents, VIC think it
would be VOL worth the extra effort
to carry your milk homo, lost tho
peaceful acceptance Of o ono cont
raise lead to another, and perhaps

could be seen anywhere. But it
was inside the houses (they
ranged from 5 to '9 rooms) that
the real beauty of Omnia Vincit

were covered with wall paper,
Fhe windows and doors were
screened and the windows had
curtains and shades on them, a

floors were rugged.
Right in the center of the On

a large fenced in play ground.
Here were swings, sandboxes
and swimming pool. Happy
children were swinging, swim

shine and fresh air.
The men and women in Omnia

owned no debts and there was
not drunkard or criminal
among them. The men worked
five days a week, six hours a
day the year around, with a
months vacation in the summer.
"A well-stocked library was at
everyone's disposal and the
