From Where We Stand...
Dairy Month
Besides boasting 30 days that "what is
so rare as." June contains National Little
league Baseball Week (8-14). Jefferson
Da\is' Birthday (3). Let's Play Golf Week
(7-14). Flag Day (14). and Father’s Day
da). It's a very big season for the cap and
gown business, and a busy time at the wed
ding license bureau, too, though, alas for
tradition no longer the month with the
most brides.
But. prepare to pour a toast all ’round
anyhow in milk. One tradition that re
mains. after 33 years, is that "June is Dairy
Month."
In the beginning, the month was select
ed because, with its clement weather and
erdam pastures, it was a peak production
month for milk, a season when dairy foods
leie plentiful, and an ideal time to call at
"ention to their nutntne \alue.
In addition, the celebration of June as
Dairy Month reminded the nation of the
u<airy industry's role in the country's econo
my Because of this \aluable contribution,
headers in agriculture. go\ ernment and
ousinesses allied with the dairy industry
oecame actue participants in the month
.ong actiuties honoring dairymen.
To a great extent, seasons have given
aay to science in the dairy industry. While
May and June remain at the top of the milk
production ranks, the other months, too, are
productive. Why is June still Dairy Month,
then?
Because people still need to be remind
ed of the industry's contribution to their
ramily diets, their enjoyment and the econo
my.
During the annual "reminder cam
paign," food stores help celebrate June
Dairy Month with dairy food specials, news
papers and magazines feature dairy reci
pes, restaurant menus spotlight dairy items.
Imaginative special celebrations abound,
sponsored by local dairy groups.
The timing remains apt because June
marks the start of a new season when to
day’s energetic consumers embark on a
summer way of life, both active and casual.
Dairy foods—fresh, refreshing, and so
easy to serve they've been called “nature’s
own convenience foods’' fit right into
ibis warm-weather living scheme
Besides which, they serve nutritional
interests and eating preferences in all age
groups so well that it looks as though
June will be Dairy Month for at least an
other 33 years! At least that’s the way it
looks from where we stand.
PEACEFUL PASTURE! The cows in a set
ting of a meadow, a stream, trees and farm
buildings, provide a fitting lead photograph for
our annual Dairy Issue, dedicated to local dairy
men and their products. The farm home pic
tured is that of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin W, Nolt,
Ephrata R 2 and their 8-month-old son, James
and Edwin’s brother, Titus. The Nolts farm 90
acres and have a herd of Holstein dairy cows.
Fish could be seen darting up_ and down
the creek in the peaceful pasture when the Lan
caster Farming Photograph was taken May 5.

Plenty Of Cool,
Refreshing Milk
Drinking too much milk is supposedly
the ‘‘chief cause of acne among young
people. Dr. Jerome Fisher, a dermatologist
(one who treats skin diseases) from Pasa
dena, California says so.
Writing in Current Science magazine,
an American Education Publication distri
buted to many schools. Dr. Fisher reported
findings in an experiment with 1.000 teen
age patients. These young people who were
suffering from skin disease were fed four
quarts of milk a day and then gradually the
amount they drank was decreased. The
dermatologist wrote, "as the teenagers
drank less milk their acne impro\ed".
The report didn’t say. but we wonder if
it wasn’t the milk that cleared up the skin
diseases If a patient had an acne problem,
started drinking four quaits of milk a day.
and shoitlj thereafter the acne started to
clear up, maybe it was the milk that did it
You might be inclined to credit the milk
with the cure e\en if the intake had dimi
nished.
This is beside the point, of course The
real tragedy is that a respected doctor writ
ing to a school-age audience has attributed a
multi-faceted medical problem to only one
segment of the diet —milk. First of all, very
few children consume four quarts of milk a
day. That would take a quart each meal and
one for between meals and at bedtime. More
likely, the properly fed child would drink
between sne and two quarts a day.
And when you say you should eliminate
milk from young people's diets, where do
you go to replace the nutrients furnished by
milk. If there are certain medical cases
where a recommendation to avoid trouble
some foods is needed, it should be done on
the basis of individual diagnosis rather than
on a mass suggestion. Which all comes back
to the point that has been made many times
Good health requires a good, well balanced
diet. And that diet should contain plenty of
cool, refreshing MILK. At least that’s the
way it looks from where we stand.
Across The Fence Row
If you started out with 200 umbrellas,
loaned them to anybody who needed one,
how many would you have at the end of the
year? A store in Cincinnati tried it, and
found they had 198 left, plus lots of new
customers.
The poor are still with us, despite the
government proverty programs. The other
day I heard about a family so poor they
couldn’t even afford a crib. The baby had
to sleep m the box the eolor-TV came in.

Nobody is so narrow minded as people
who disagree with you.
Some people are like blotters they
soak up most everything but always get it
backwards.
When an automobile tire goes bad after
a few weeks of wear it may be difficult to
determine whether the cause has defective
workmanship, or some road hazard. When
human beings cause trouble, we are often
stumped as to the cause whether inborn,
or caused by bumps and bruises along the
way. We call it heredity and environment.

Rev. Althouse UanS- We tend
lo forget that Christ himself was
a Jew, that the Church began
among the Jews, and that the
early Christians, even those who
were Gentiles, regarded Christi
anity as the true successor to the
Hebrew faith. They believed that
the promise made to the Israelites
was theirs by inheritance. They
regarded themselves as the New
Israel. The New Covenant of
Jesus Christ was the natural de
velopment of the Old Covenant
which had been made with the
patriarchs and passed on to each
succeeding generation.
One central theme
The early Church thus saw no
break between the Hebrew faith
and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
There was a continuity between
the old Israel and the new. The
scriptures were seen as a unified
testimony to the creative and re
demptive purpose of God.
Though the Bible consisted of
many divergent bits and pieces,
they saw the message as a single
story, one central theme.
That does not mean that the
early Church thought that there
were no changes between the faith
of the early Israelites and their
own gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus
himself had said: "You have
heard that it was said to the men
of 01d,... But I say to you . .

To Prepare Grain Bins
Small grain harvest is ap
proaching and a time when
storage space should be plan
ned. Old grain should be re
moved from the bin and used
first. The bin should be given a
thorough cleaning and the
walls, ceiling, and floor spray
ed with an insecticide such as
methoxychlor or malathion.
This practice will prevent grain
insects from contaminating the
new grain the first few months
in storage.
To Buy Outstanding Sires
Many livestock producers will
be investing m new herd sires
during the summer months

"’think not that I have come to
abolish the law and the prophets;
I have come not to abolish them
but to fulfil them'’(Matthews:l7).
Wc mav have difficulty in
seeing anv sense of unity in the
Bible. Wc may be confused bv :he
great variety of tj pcs of literature,
bv the changing political, social,
and religious scenes in its pages,
in the tlhersc concepts of the
nature and activity of God, in *he
ob\ iously different points ofview,
and the almost innumerable par
adoxes and ironies. We may won
der how anyone can ever put all
that together with anv sense of
unity or continuity.
Creation and redemption
Yet, through all this diversity
we find certain ideas or the .ics
that hold together all the many
parts and pieces. Over and over
again thioughout the Bible’s
pages we find the concepts of
creation and redemption. It is
a stoic* that finds its begmmrgs,
as Deuteronomy 26 puts it, rn

lesus looked back to ibis
ancient event and saw* in A the
roots of his own mission*
beginning w ith Moses and all ihe
prophets, he interpreted to them
in all the scriptures the things
concerning himself’ (Luke
24:27). Though the new wine of
his gospel often threatened to
burst the old wineskins of
Judaism, still Jesus set forth his
way, not as an alternative to
Judaism, but as the highesi de
velopment of the Hebrew faith.
As He promised
No less did the early Church
acknowledge this continuity. In
his sermon at Antioch of Pisidia,
Paul linked the Gospel to the
covenantal story, concluding; "’Of
this man’s (David’s) posterity
God has brought to Israel a
Saviour, Jesus, as he promised”
(Acts 13:23).
Creation and redemption; These
are the unifying themes we en
counter in the beginning of the
Bible, the threads thf#-.run
through it, the divine purposes
that find their fulfillment in Christ.
For it is "in him” as Paul puts
it, that "all things hold together”
(Colossians 1:17).

To Change Rations Gradually
During the harvest season
many new grains and forage'
crops are introduced to UVeP
stock. I refer to new hay, grass
silage, and to winter barley and
wheat about to be combined. All
of these items are good feed if
given to the animals gradually.
When mixed into the ration or
daily feed schedule in small
amounts at first and gradually
increased, there will be less
danger of scouring or bloating.
New giains should be permitted
to go through a one month cur
ing pencil before being fed to
livestock.
