MilliOn-DOllar Fund
To Promote Poultry
Is Urged By NEPPCO

A united effort by the poultry in
dustry to raise million dollar
war chest" for the promotion of
eggs and poultry meat was rec
commended at Trenton, N. j., this
week by a division of the North
eastern Poultry Producers Council
(NEPPCO).
The Councils Division of Coop
eratives, made up of poultry pro-
ducts marketing groups through
out the Northeast, recommended
this amount as an initial project,
then went on to propose an annual
goal of two to three million dollars,
to be achieved within the next five
years.
Poultry plays an increasingly
important role in this nations agri-
cultural economy" declared DR..
Alfred Van Wagenen, the groups
secretary. There is not the slight
est doubt in my mind that the pou1-
try industry must do a more ag-
gressive selling job if its products
are to have top rating with U. S.
consumers"
Funds would be channelled into
the Poultry and Egg National
Board official advertising and pro-
motion arm of the nations poultry
producers.
The NEPPCO Division of Coop
eratiyes proposed a 12-point pro-
gram for PENB, including such pro-
jects as the development of mer-
chandising and point-of-sale aids
for retailers, program of paid adj
vertising in newspapers and mag
azines, a better flow of information
between it and the poultry indus
trymen who provide it with work
ing capital.
PENB was urged to organize a
special Embarrassing staff, COM
pletely separate from its present
promotion personnel.

day that q State Pupil Place
ment Law has taken away from
them the power to assign seven
Negro children to white public
schools.
Counsel for the seven, who
also represents the National

the court the placement law is
invalid and asked the Judge
to enforce his July 81 injunc-
ton, which prohibits segre-
cation on the basis Of race.
Judge Albert v. Bryan Of the

ginia, listened to closing argu-
ments from both sides today,
