This Is ''Old B0ssy's"
Month

Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson is urging consumers
to take advantage of current plen-
tiful supplies of dairy products by
buying and serving them often
during June which is Dairy
Month.
Consumers get outstanding food
value all through the year when
they buy milk and other dairy
foods" Benson said. During June,
when supplies of dairy products
are at a seasonal peak, these COM
modities represent an especially
good food buy"
The Department OF Agriculture
reports milk output In 1868 prom
ises to set new record for the
sixth consecutive year. Steady
technical improvements and effic-
lent management by dairymen have
helped increase milk production
per COW. even though the number
of cows in herds throughout the
nation has decreased.
Generous use of dairy foods
makes an excellent nutritional con-
tribution to the family diet, as we'll
as providing taste appeal and va
riety,' the Secretary said. "All the
dairy products-milk. cheese. ice
cream. butter. evaporated milk,
dry milk, and the many dairy spe-
cialties such as sour cream and
buttermilk-have place in the
family's daily menu"
The USDA says milk is a better
buy now than 1t was ten years ago.
The price to the farmer has re-
mained about the same. increased
prices to the consumer have been
due to higher marketing costs.
However, the average income has
increased more than the average
price of milk. This means it takes
a smaller part of your income to
buy a quart of milk now than it
did in 1947.

together. Lay out skirt, then
slacks or shorts, then socks and
underwear. Roll them all up and
place a rubber band around them.
The socks, underwear and shorts
provide body which helps prevent
wrinkles In the skirt
2. Place articles. of the same
variety, together in different colors
of plastic bags. This will keep them
dry and clean as well as make them
more readily accessible. Be sure
that bags for carrying soap and
toilet articles have tight bindings
ri the top. Also use plastic bottles
and containers to eliminate the
danger of breakage.
To pack a duffel bag that opens
at the top, begin with things you
will need least often. Put heavier
bulkier items in the bottom and
smaller rolls around them to fill
out the shape of the bag. Pajamas,
change of clothing and rain gear
Milford chronicle., 1958-06-06

One of the secrets of good camp
ing is taking a minimum of equip
ment- Take only what you need to
look neat and clean and remember
you will be csrrying the pack.
First, make a list of items abso-
luteiy necessary such as bedroll,
pajamas, ground covering, under
clothes, outer clothes, weather
gear and toilet articles. Make three
piles of items you plan to take. In.
one, put all the gear you cannot do
without. In the second, all the
gear you think necessary. In IIIss
third, put all the items you would
like to take Then eliminate the last
5ssas and again divide t5s first pils
into ISsree groups. Then you should
have Your equipment reilly cut
down to the absolute essentials.
l. Roll clothing into small COM
pact bundles holding them together
with elastic bands. One idea is to
roll a complete change of clothing

should be put liz last SO they can
be reached quickly.
To pack a duffel bag with ends
to-end Upper, start with sleeping
bag and other bulky items. Roll Or
fold lengthwise in order to give the
bag as much solid shape as possi-
bic. Pack smaller things around
larger ones.
To pack a rucksack, place bulky
and least-needed items first, things
you will need first near the top and
soft things at back so that it rests
comfortably against your back
Then pack heavier items so that
the weight is carried by your
shoulder and not the small of your
back.
Whether packing a rucksack or
dnffel bag, pack it SO that the con-
tents don't SHIFT around If you
haven't sufficienL gear to fill the
bag completely, tie it with cord SO
that contents are secured in place.

of plotting against the United

King Saud, himself, has been

him checks for more than IS
million to foment a plot to
wreck the union Of Egypt. Syria
and Yemen. King Saud's gov

four possible arbitrators.
If a Maypole had suddenly
reared up in the Caucus Room
the Senators could not have
been more surprised.
Senator Kennedy moved
quickly to bring the season tG
full flower.

He called for a representative
Of the Kohler Company to come
forward. One did. It was Lunar
Conger, the attorney for the
Kohler company and its CHIEF
negotiator. He is a man Of
wintry countenance, spare anc

Of the special problems con-

In the afternoon one of the

Describes ENCOURAGEMENT
In August 1854, the judge
said, speaking slowly and with
judicial calm, he had issued an
injunction against the union
to cease and desist from mass
'picketing. 1t occurred to him
then. as it has occurred to
others since, that the differ
ences between management and
labor in this case were not so
wide that they could not be
worked out. He offered his good
Offices.
He called the interested par
ties to his chambers. Among
them was Lyman Conger, who
said he would not refuse to
meet with the union although
he felt that any further meet
ing would be futile.
The Judge had told Mr.. Con-
ger reprovingly that anyone
entering meetings with the idea
they were futile, would make
them futile"
In any case, three days later
they all sat down in the She
boygan County Courthouse. The
judge was encouraged by the

Navy Seeks Way to Cut
Atomic Carriers Weight

The Navy. repeatedly at
White House request, decided
not to push for a second atomic
carrier in the fiscal 1859 budget.
It expects, however. to seek
authorization for it in 1860.
Admiral Johnson said the
cost of the big ships-destined
to be the largest warships in
the world-will be cut substan-

IF we can increase the shaft

The Admiral said he does not
think future carriers will be
built any lighter than the For
restal class ships. This size,
he added, is adequate to handle
any high performance aircraft
