Dairy Products
Take Big Share
Of Food Dollars

Columbus - u. S. families, on
the average, spend more for dairy
products than any other group of
foods except meat, according to
the u. S. Department of Agricul-
lures recent nationwide house
hold food consumption survey.
Meat took 25 percent of the fam
lily food dollar, dairy products II
percent, and cereals and bakery
products, vegetables, poultry and
eggs. and fruits less in that order
Most families interviewed re-
ported some dairy products purch-
ased during the week of the sur
vey.. Purchases of fresh fluid
milk accounted for almost half of
the money spent for dairy prod
ucts, ice cream took IA percent,
butter II percent and whole-milk
cheese 10 percent.
Urban families spent about a
tenth more on dairy products than
those living in rural nonfarm ar
ers. Farm families spent the least,
but because of home production
they used more milk and other
dairy products, on the average,
than nonfarm families.
Apparently families are spend
ing a smaller share of their food
dollar on dairy products than they
were in 1948. The survey made
that year shows that city and su-
burban households of two or
more persons used 19 percent OF
their food dollar for dairy prod
ucts compared to II percent in
1855. Why? There are several pos
sible reasons. Retail prices of
dairy products dropped about 2
percent between the time of these
two surveys (spring 1948-spring
1850 while the prices of all foods
used at home rose 5 percent.
The fact that families today are
eating more meals away from
home seems to cut into household
purchases of dairy products. Also.
shifts from home baking to the
purchase of more bakery products
may affect the familys purchase
Of butter and also milk used in
home baking. On the other hand,
the increased number of children
in households has tended to main
tain family expenditures for dairy
products, particularly fresh whole
milk.

Harmony Club Hears Discussion OF
Democracy In Meeting Thursday

tanned Thursday afternoon in the

Mr.. Asa Bradley presided at the
business meeting. After giving sal
ute to the Flag, the. "a members
present responded to roll-cal by
naming a famous American negro.
Mrs. Edward Leach and Mrs,
Edgar Purviance presented the
program. Mrs. Leachs topic was
Race VS.. Democracy. She gave a
definition of Democracy as quoted
by Congressman. Sam Pettipgiu Of
Indiana: Democracy is a way. Of
life based on the consent of the
governed, whose method is discus
sion, spirit and liberation, which
acknowledges the dignity of man as
a child of God; erects no barriers
of law or caste to the. richest de-
velopment of inborn capacity; Sc
cures to each the fruit of honest
toll; enshrines justice as the essen

vilege as the betrayal of that bond;
is dedicated to the proposition that
happy citizens alone can constitute
a great state; and that the state is
not an end but only a means to
the greatness of man."
: Only in the United States is
there sharp line drawn between
the white and the negro.
Of the It's, 100000 negroes in the
world, there are $4,000, 900 in the
United States.
Abraham Lincoln's Emancipa-
tion Proclamation was made in
elusive by the thirteenth amend
ment and 100000 negro slaves
were set free. If we deny democ-
racy to negroes and others we do
not believe in true democracy.
Since the Supreme Court has
outlawed racial segregation, there
has been much controversy and it

pressures on available resources in
creases, it seems obvious there will be
more public concern regarding the
use of privately held resources. In the
case of water rights, for example, the
priority aspect is designed to protect
the investment of the individual who
came first and pioneered in the de-
velopment of water resource situa-
ton.
But there is also part of the ap-
preparation doctrine which provides
that an appropriation must make bene-
fetal use of the water he takes. This
is designed to protect the later ar
rivals from wasteful or excessive use
by the holder of a prior right. 1t seems
likely that there will be an increasing
demand for demonstrated beneficial
use in view of the steadily increasing
demands for water. Any user who
water may well expect other users
or potential users to question his right
to the full amount now being taken.
By this time l hope the answer is
obvious to this question: "Why should
agriculturalists concern themselves
with the problems of industrial growth
and, particularly, with the non-agri-
cultural uses of water because water
for new and expanded uses can be
secured from only three sources.
They are:
1. Supplies not fully used at the
present time.
g. Improvement in the availability
of existing supplies.
3. Taking over supply from a
present user through purchase.
1t has been said that, in the
United States, an acre foot of water
will support 60 times as many
workers when used in manufacture
ing as when used for irrigation.
This suggests that urban and in
dustrial users can outbid agricul-
tural users for water just as they
can for land.
In many instances it may be pos
sible to develop the water supply to
the point where both agricultural and
non-agricultural demands can be sat
isfied. Some people argue that atomic
power or some other new form of
energy will eliminate the need for
