It'll be several months before

Hearing Is Continued

and involves almost $4,000 dairy
men as compared to $500 serving
the Philadelphia milkshed," the
spokesman said "In the spring
months for instance. the New York
area uses only about 35 percent of
its milk as Glass for fnid sales
and about So percent for manufac-
turing and other purposes, while
Philadelphia uses approximately
20 percent as Glass | and about 80
percent as manufacturing The New
York market is in large measure a
middleman's operation, while the
Philadelphia market is q. 95 percent
producer-to dealer operation
/. Elkin Nathans, a New York
milk broker, has asked for a mar
ket pool rather than a handler pool
because certain of his client milk
plants want to buy milk in parts
of Pennsylvania at the loN New
York blend price. Because the
Philadelphia price is higher, he
claims his clients are forced to pay
premiums to get the milk.
Under a handler pool, each
handler or dealers blend price for
milk purchased by him from pro-
ducts is determined by the percen-
tage that he sells in fluid form, as
Glass / milk. Competition among
handlers for Cass | milk keeps the
blend price to farmers high, and
competition among farmers for a
better price keeps the quality of
milk high.
Under market pool, each
handler pays the same blend price.
Handlers with a high percentage
of their sales in fluid form pay
money into the pool equalization
fund" while those with low fluid or
ClassI sales draw money from the
fund. Milk used in manufacturing
commands a lower price than milk
used in fluid sales. Manufacturers
are able to use the leveling of price
characteristic of a market pool to
draw large volumes of this lower
priced manufacturing milk into the
market pool. This has the effect of
greatly lowering the blend price
to ali producers.
Among New York producer
groups represented at the hearing
was the Mutual Federation of In
dependent Cooperatives, Inc. As a
witness. for this group, DIR. Kenneth
Shaul of Cobleskill, N. Y, said
that Philadelphia milk was being
moved to New York and that New
York plants were selling milk in
the Philadelphia area, and that
therefore New York was bearing
the burden of Philadelphia sur
plus. Under cross-examination, DIR.
Shaul was unable to give any in
stances of Philadelphia milk NOV
ing to New York to support his
statement.
Interstate mas pointed out that
some dealers have bought milk in
central Pennsylvania or Maryland,
moved it to New Jersey to bottle
it, and brought it back to Pennsyl-
vania to sell it i'm areas adjacent to
Philadelphia and thus avoid Order
81 regulations. For this reason, a
revision of Order 81 to include the
periphery areas around Philadel-
phia has been asked in order TO
protect the market. This is opposed
BY the smaller dealers in the sub
urban territory, by the Lehigh VAL
ley Cooperative Farmers in Allen
town, and the Supplee Company
whose affiliate serves Bucks Coun-
ty with milk brought in from
sources not regulated by Order 81,
In a statement to Interstate
Members, o. III. Hoffman, Jr., Gen
eral Manager of the Cooperative,
Milford chronicle., 1956-08-24

said:
"A market pool, such as they
have in New York, would naturally
be to the advantage of any dealer
who wants TO engage extensively
in the manufacturing business, be-
cause under a market pool he can
always get all the milk he wants
The difference between his low in
dividual utilization blend and the
market blend will be made up to
him each month out of the higher
utiEzations of producers shipping
to other buyers, since all producers
in the market get the same price.
''In Inter States judgment it has
been our handler pool more than
any other single thing in Philadel-
phia which has kept our Glass
utilizations and our average blend
prices in this market Sc much high
er than we see in the New York
market. 1t is also Inter-State's con-
tention that were this market to
go into a market pool it would be
The first step towards its becoming
part of an Gften-prOposed north
eastern pool. We are certain that
it would be impossible to prevent
tremendous influx of manufac-
turing milk from coming into the
Philadelphia pool A market pool
would greatly reduce the returns
TO all producers, including those
whose dealers have the lowest per-
centageS of utilization under the
present system"
Among witnesses who testified
we're: Robert A. HARRISON, LII, of
HARRISON Dairies, Inc; Alvar Nix
ON of Supplee- Wills-Jones Milk
Company; James E. Tonan of In
ter State; George E. Brandow of
Pennsylvania State University; DIR.
H. p. Coung of United Milk Pro-
ducers' Association; John p. Prautz
of the Pennsylvania Milk Control
Commission; DIR. E. G. Misner of
the -Friesian Association;
w. P Anderson, of the Suburban
Milk Dealers Association, and Mr..
Nathans.
The hearing is expected to con-
tinue at least another week. After
all testimony has been reviewed
and acted upon, if new Order 61
is drawn up it will be referred to
the producers for a vote.

CAESAR RODNEY
SCHOOL NEWS

The Board of Education of the
Caesar Rodney Special School Dis
trict has authorized a referendum
to be held on Saturday. May II. on
tEe question as to whether or not
theS board will be authorized to
| levy an additional tax of ten cents
per hundred dollars of assessed
valuation on real estate and add
one dollar to the capitation tax,
both for current expense items Of
the budget.
The Parent-Teacher Association
Executive Board has endorsed the
action of the Board of Education
and has put the topic on the agen-
da for the April meeting of the
PTA which will be held on Thurs
day, April l..
The board believes that this ad-
ditional levy is necessary in order
to maintain tn instructional
standards of the school. If author
lied most of the increase will be
used to supplement teachers sal
aries or a merit basis, with an av-
erage OF about $4,000 per teacher
Recent action of other districts,
including Dover, in increasing tea
cher salaries has placed Caesar
Rodney in a situation whereby the
board finds that it must raise sal
aries to attract competent teachers.
With rapidly growing school pop
ulation the board not only has to
fill vacancies of teachers who re-
sign but also has to add from five
10 eight teachers each year to take
care of expanding enrolment.
This additional tax would bring
the maximum possible tax rate to
fifty cents per hundred dollars of
assessed valuation with an capita
ton tax of eight dollars.
The referendum will be held in
connection with the annual school
board election on May 9. In accord
ance with recent legislation, the
voters may cast their ballots at
either Caesar Rodney High School,
Star Hill, or at the Wyoming Dun
bar School between the hours of
one and eight in the afternoon.
One member of the board of edu-
cation will be elected on the same
date between the hours of one and
eight in the afternoon.
The members of the Sophomore
class OF Caesar Rodney will pre-
sent their annual Sophomore Car
nival" on Friday, April 13. The
class of '5S has chosen Fantasy
Land as this years theme.
The carnival will begin at 500
p. M, in the small gymnasium, with
an admission price of ten cents. A
door prize will be given to the
holder of the lucky ticket.
A variety of entertainment such
as a basketball throw, a pie throw,
and fortune telling will be on hand
along with an assortment of other
booths. Prizes viii be given to those
who show their skiIls in the yari-
0gIs contests.
Homemade cakes, pastries, cook
les and fudge will be on sale.
This promises to be an evening
If sheer fun for everyone who at
tends.
