UNIFORM MILK
PRICES AHEAD
N. Y. Administrator Pre-
diets June Income for
Area to Be $20,795,OOO

New York, July 2.-UP)--A uni
form milk price of 1902 per hun
dredweight for June was predicted
today by DR.. G. j. Blanford, Admin
istrator of the Metropolitan New
York milk marketing area, as he
also forecast an income for the area
of $20,795 900, the highest figure for
any month on record.
Last years June pool resulted in
a uniform price of 1922 and total
dairy farm valuation of only $16,-
158,418.28, he said.
Last months return, if it is real
lied" DR.. Blanford said will es-
tablish the June pool as the most
valuable on record, surprising the
mark made in May when a farm
value of $20,166,000 was reached. In
addition, the May figure was
reached when milk was two cents
higher than the estimated June
figure.
"June's production total of 672,-
100000 pounds surpasses the May
ga, 100000 pound output by con-
siderable amount and is responsible
for the high total worth of this past
months dairy return" DR.. Blan-
ford said.
Main reason for the increased
productivity in June was said to be
a slight increase in the number OF
COWS that freshened and a Today
delay in pasturing herds, brought
about by the prolonged dry weather.
In addition, the administrator
points out, COWS have been getting
heavier feelings of grain.

employees 10 highest consecutive
years earnings multiplied by the
total number of years service.
The previous maximum was 20
per cent of the average annual earn
ings for the highest 10 of the last
20 years of service regardless of the
number of years of service beyond
20. AS in the past any old age social
security benefit which the company
pays in taxes will be deducted.
Added features OF the new plan
include retirement at the option of
the company as early as age SIS if 20
years or more of service have been
accumulated and disability allow
ances after 20 years of service re-
CARELESS of age.
Considerably higher benefits will
accrue to long service employees I'M
der this plan, and it is felt that it
will be an added incentive to en-
ployes who have long and faithful
service with the company. The eff
fective date of the plan is May /,
1943.
Commander Harold r. Perry OF
the Naugatuck Civilian Defense
Corps has announced the following
appointments:
Richard L. Spann, SO May street,
