—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 5, 1962 4 from Where We Stand... Viewing The Milk Control Commission Sometimes we get to thinking so much about our own viewpoint we for get there may be someone who stands somewhere else Last week end we had occasion to be in the coal region of West Virginia where about the only daily paper avail able is printed in Pittsburgh To a farm-oriented editor, some of the stories had a (to say the least) pe culiar almost foreign tone to them It was almost as if there were some sort of collusion between the farmer and legislators to bring higher prices to the consumer One story in particular was of more than passing interest to us It began thus ‘"Pennsylvania residents who want to abolish the state Milk Control Com mission have more ammunition for their cause Red tape and bureaucratic delay will cause at least another two-week de lay m a ruling on the Battle of the Bulky Bottle " It did not take long to find out that the issue has been a real ‘ hot potato" :n the area, and while we have heard some of the noise of the turmoil m this county, we had no idea just how explo sive the situation had become out in the othei end ol the state The focal point of the controversy is the ruling by the PMCC that milk can be sold in glass gallon jugs at lower than the standard quart rate but can not be retailed in half gallon plastic bottles at the same price even when die two hall gallon containers are stapl ed together Adding fuel to the fire is the tact ■ hat Pennsylvania residents in the area ran drive just a few miles into West '•Tigima and bu> their milk in the half gallon bottles The situation has become so ex plosive that one assemblyman from the Pittsburgh area introduced a bill into Mate legislatuie to abolish the Milk Con .iol Commission, and he has served notice that he intends to introduce simi- I-u legislation in the coming session As we said at the beginning of this piece we sometimes forget there is a ,iomt of view different from our own, hut we believe danymen would be un wise to let the Pennsylvania Milk Con ti ol Commission be killed We do not believe the abolition of the PMCC would be advantageous to either the dairy farmer or to the con sumer Admittedly, the agency has not al \vays made perfect decisions Whenever j uman judgments are brought into any • Garden Spot FFA I I 'out mnofi Horn I' n,t 1 i < lnmn in d nmu im ihoi t oin- i i in ion lliiw 11 ( .issoll nnmail N m«ii U.l a sludon) al Low a Jiiiipliin MiUi Si liool Iluni noNioun won tin <oiiK-r .ilh i s]i( 1 1 h < allot!

Neumann, secretary and general manager of the National Livestock and Meat Board, expressed his feelings recently at a meeting oL li\ estock feeders at Oklahoma University We believe Mr Neumann has given the livestock feeder as well as the breeder something to think about There are stiong indications that consumers will continue to have money with which to buy the product, and belter understanding and appreciation of the importance of meat in the diet will continue to urge the consumer to purchase meat Therefore the livestock man has only two important factors over which he has some control Producers and processors of meat products have been continually improv ing methods so that better and better products reach the consumer This we applaud Meat has held a very favorable spot in the thinking of the general public in comparison to certain other food products, but with the promotion of certain manufactured food products with built-in convenience features, meat stands a good chance of being crowded out of the menus of working mothers We agree with the belief of Neu mann that special attention should be directed toward maintaining and build ing a favorable image of meat At least that s how it looks fiom where we stand • Summary Shows (ContiiiiKMi liom Hast 1) loi I'M,n ititMsed in toiinim i ion with i lip Mato lepoit sliowol Laii'astei CouiUv still tlio liatloi in at,i it nliuial pio <ilit i ion r l iu (i.udeii Spot taimeis at touiUcd loi > 1 p (j, 11) 1 (Jim ol Hu slates SN 11 >'i t (100 T lip mate A fontpetiloi anions ilic otlui coinitios had loss than halt .lio pi otlui 1 1 on ot ham as ter CcniiiU Cbestei Coiinij prod IK oil 1> 1 I T 1J OOP w oi Ui ol Ini ni piodmts ululo (.ho thud plate touiitv Yoik had t !i, - Lancaster Farming Established \owmUer i.
