June is Dairy Month, Says Stassen-

Governor Harold Stassen has proclaimed this
month June Dairy Month";" and has called upon
the citizens of Minnesota to observe this event by
using more butter milk, cream cheese and other
dairy products.
This is as it should be, for citizens of the
greatest butter producing state should boost our
product and thereby benefit ourselves first. And
aside from that fact will benefit from the use
of these health-buiding foods.
In his proclamation the governor urged manu-
facturerers and dealers in dairy products to
educational campaign to advise the consuming
public OF the Importance of dairy products in the
maintenance of healthful and balanced daily diet"
By using of these products, which have
great health and food value, stimulate the
market and increase the price through demand Dairy
farmers have suffered market decline, and that is
the primary concern of residents of dairy commun-

Congress 1872 years ago. The history of the flag is

freedoms sake. Since the establishment of Flag
Day in 1885, the observance has become widespread,
and is the occasion patriotic exercises, in which
reverence for the flag and all it stands for is in

privilege which many of forefathers sought and
which many of those oppressed in foreign lands look
