Pet Milk Happy
Family Series To
Expand

You don't need to be famous to be
happy but being happy can lead
to being famous That's what has
happened In the past few months to
the families across the country who
were featured in Pet Milk's series
of Happy Family" advertisements,
appearing in The Miami Times in
other newspapers, and in Ebony
and Our World.
It's a pleasant kind of fame, too.
these families have discovered. The
first in the series, the Slaughters
of st. Louis, found that their ap-
pearance in the Happy Family"
group brought in new customers for
their dry cleaning business. other
families reported that appearing in
the series brought them letters
from friends and acquaintances in
other cities.
Pet Milk's happy families have
come from cities all over the coun-
try Chicago, Birmingham, Los
Angeles. Atlanta, Philadelphia, New
Orleans This month, the Pet Milk
photographer visited a mid-western
family Almond and Margery
Robinson. OF Cleveland, and their
two children, Almond Stanford and
Marta. Like the other families in
the series, the Robinson live happi-
ly on an average income, have
young children who were Pet Milk
babies - are, in fact, just like the
good neighbors you'll find in any
community.
Like the other families in the
series, too, the RdbinSons didn't
pose" for the photographer. Their
pictures show them just as they
are on an ordinary day in the
kitchen, in the living room, playing
| with their children. And the pho
tographer says that it's hard to tell
who enjoys the picture-taking more
the grownups in the family, the
youngsters, or the photographer
himself.
Later on this year, the Pet Milk
photographer plans to visit anoth-
er west coast family, in Oakland,
California. The next happy family
after that may be from the east
coast or from the south. But one

ed from a Mississippi prison in an
extradiction case. The liberated
man is Eugene Backstron, known

bond pending an appeal by Missis-
sippi. The Civil Liberties union and
