keters.
The group was Informed that
starting in June the base prices
to be used In bidding on jnstitu
tional purchases will be in the
first quotation group instead of
the second group. This action
comes at the right time, because
a change has been made in de
scribing quotations in the USDA
report.
A full report was given on the
long and short status of the Egg
Exchange for several weeks, to
indicate the need for greater
support by the industry. Those
who wish to refer to inventory
information from the Exchange
can observe the totals published
each Tuesday in the Urner-
Barry report. In an effort to
make it easier for smaller or
ganizations to paiticipate, the
dues for membership in the Ex
change have been adjusted.
Dues for 1 000 cases per month
are $l5; 2,000 cases $2O and. all
over $25.

SAVE REGULARLY
FOR THAT "RAINY DAY”
The best umbrella to protect against that “rainy
day” is a regular savings program at Fulton National
Bank. No matter how much or how little you save—
and no matter for what purpose—there’s a Fulton
savings plan that is sure to meet your needs:
Fulton PASSBOOK SAVINGS are the choice of those
who want their money to be immediately available
while at the same time earning bank interest.
Fulton CERTIFICATES of DEPOSIT are preferred by
those savers who are willing to leave their money
with the bank for a set period of time (six months or
longer) in return for a higher rate of interest.
Select the Fulton savings plan which will give you
the “rainy day" coverage you desire. Then start
saving—regularly!

Out of the discussion there was
evidence that the industry would
prefer only one quotation which
would result from dropping the
second quotation.
Along with one market the
bulk of the industry is In favor
of a twice a week market with
increases and declines not ex
ceeding two cents per day.
The group was informed that
a telegram was sent to I.C.C.
requesting that n o further
freight rates should be allowed
which could increase feed costs
and put further pressure on an
already damaged industry.
If* members have not secured
a road tax stamp on tractor
trailers with more than two
axels going into Maryland, they
should do so. The cost for not
having a road tax stamp could
be $25 each time a truck is
stopped.
The lack of pullet growing in
our area can become expensive
in the future. We should create
our own balance by finding
some way to encourage pullet
growing.
The group requested K M.

the Plymouth Mall. A report
will be made to the president
who has the authority from the
members to support ‘ the Egg
Clinic financially.
Winding up the session the
group was advised that, the mat
ter of cooperative buying should
be pursued and that every mem
ber should be alerted to watch
underworld activities that are
creeping into egg marketing.
