Lotwaerrick And Poultry Queens
To Be Named At Pa. Dutch Days
Such old-fashioned Pennsyl
vania Dutch attributes as being
able to speak the Dutch dialect,
ability to cook up a batch of
apple butter, and excellence in
farm chores will weigh heavily
in favor of the two girls who
vail wear the regal crowns of
the State Lotwaerrick (Apple
Butter) Queen and the Pennsyl-
Milk Dealer Must
Pay $5 Fee for
Bulk Tank Farms
Milk dealers, not farmers,
must pay a $5 fee to cover a
“weighing or measuring permit
for each farm equipped with a
bulk milk holding tank
This opinion was affirmed
July 17 when the Superior Couit
in Philadelphia upheld the
opinion of Judge Walter R.
Sofin in supporting the Pennsyl
vania Milk Control Commission,
and dismissing the appeal taken
by the Lykens Dairy, Inc, Mar
ket Street, Lykens, from a com-'
mission order
The dairy appealed from
the order of the commission, re
voking - the dealer’s license
from the license year, May 1,
1953, to April 30, 1954. The
commission required the Ly
kens firm to pay the weighing
permit for each farm. This,
the Lykens firm refused to do,
declaring it was “unjust, arbi
trary, capricious, and illegal.”
“We find that the act of the
Pennsylvania Milk Control Com
mission here is fully in accord
ance with the law,” Judge Sohn
said. He added, “the law is
clear, explicit, positive and rea
sonable and it is a reasonable
exercise of the police power and
the powers granted by the Milk
Contiol Law”

“Tnere can be little doubt,”
John A Smith, one of the three
commissioners, said-, “about the
movement toward cold wall
tanks as an action against the
interests of the small dauy
farmei, just as all movements
toward farm mechanization have
been in recept years
“Unfortunately, many small
farmers are war veterans who
took up farming at the end
of the war,” Smith declared.
“The initial investment in bulk
tanks demands substantial in

demand higher pi ices for milk
to compensate them for these

Dr. Frankenburg spoke in fa
