The success ot the Lancaster CounU
Dairy Princess Pageant appaicntly has
been assured by the entry of eight lo\ely,

iroud to introduce them this week
Everyone we haie talked to has been
hterally tickled by the response so far to
"he Pageant, not only because of the num
ber of entries, but also because of the hieh
calibre of the girls. The elation o\er the
response is particularly understandable be
cause the pageant had to be cancelled last
• ear due to lack of interest.
The feeling is that we can’t fail to have
an outstanding Dairy Princess this year.
Which is as it should be

On Stopping Imitations
Concerned mothers ask. ’‘Are the new r
imitation milks nutritious for children?”
Dr Philip L White answers the ques
tion in his column, "Let’s Talk About
Food": "Tw r o different kinds of imitation
milks ha\e been added to the dairy cases
m many markets in the last y ear or so One
variety is a filled milk, a product in which
the milk fat of whole milk has been replac
ed by a vegetable oil.”
"The other kind of imitation milk is a
concocted product made to look and taste
like milk but otherwise bears little re
semblance to it "
Laboratory tests show that milk has 26
per cent less saturated fats than do the
filled milks
In addition, the consumer should know
:hat whole milk is highei in polyunsatu
rated fat
Laboratoiy tests ie\ea! that 28 5 per
cent of the milk fat is the polyunsaturated
type, wheieas, filled milk has an unsatu
rated fat content of only two per cent, and
imitation or artificial milk contains only
fhe per cent of the unsatuiated t\pe of tat
The consume! s aie concerned about the
total sugar in then diet The total sugai in
.thole milk is 4 8 per cent, filled mdk has
5 3 per cent, and imitation milk has 6 7 per
cent
Shouldn’t Replace Milk
Dr White desenbed topical ingredients
of the imitation and then added "Unless
one is sure that the nutntite talue is equi
valent to whole milk, such products should
not be depended upon to replace milk in the
diets of children "
In the next se\eral vears. dairvmen
probablj can expect increased efforts by
imitation products to break into the dairj
market

largest farm income producer Dairung
brought more than S 3? million to County
dairymen in 1969 That was about 30 per
cent of the 5123.650.000 of total- countc fai ni
income.
Dairying is big business here. It is also
a Mtal and dynamic wa> of life for a large
proportion of the area’s more successful
tarm families.
But we think dairying is and ought to
be something else, too FUN' The Daily
Pageant, beginning at 6:30 p.m June 23 at
the Farm and Home Center, will empha
size the fun side of dairying.
Let's go to the Pageant and ha\e some
fun
The point is that the dairyman needs to
know his own product better in order to de
fend his product against imitation products,
most of w’hich are inferior to milk.
Sometimes the best defense is a strong
offense In this respect, we note the growing
trend to ad\ertise and promote milk on
television and in magazines.
Milk Can Win
This account from another part of the
country gives an example of what can be
done and is proof that when farmers decide
to fight back, they can win against the imi
tation products.
According to the milk administrator of
the-central Arizona milking area, the high
point of filled milk sales in the marketing
aiea was reached January 1969 when the
total was 3,930,300 or 10 4 per cent of Class
I milk sales Filled milk sales declined to
1,963,000 pounds in July, 1969 or 6 2 per
cent of the Class I milk sales.
The filled milk sales were seveiely cut
by a campaign put on by the American
Dairy Association. United Dainmen of
Anzona. Arizona Milk Incorpoiated and
the National Dairy Council. The etfectue
ness of the campaign was revealed in ire
decline of filled milk sales
Attei a study had 'been made of the
Central Arizona milk on the buying habits
of consumers, it became evident that an
important percentage of the consuming
public was not aware that they were
buying filled milk rather than real milk
Upon completion of the study, an mten
sne advertising and educational campaign
was planned to inform the public of tne
difference m the products
In addition to the campaign, a giouo
known as Consumers on Watch was or
ganized to set the public straight with
reference to filled milk.
The campaign pointed out that con
sumers were contused by the display a: d
labeling of the se\eral filled milk brands cn
the market This made the campaign p» >
gram necessary.
Milk is a quality product.
An effort is building to sell milk as a
quality food and as a fun and enetgx
beverage
We suggest that Southeastern Pennsxi
vania farmers should stay alert to deteioo
ments in this battle by the milk industry for
the support ot the consuming public
In the long run. this market battle .r.
the communications media ot the cities can
be as important to the farmer as his o*n
individual battle to keep quality and pro
duction high

DOWN WITH WALLS
Lesson for June 7,1970
kcksnund Scripture: Ephesians I through
2.
Devorienel Heading: Ephesians 3:t-10,
Several years ago an African
student who was studying in an
American college told me of an
experience that happened to him
shortly after he arrived in this
country.
been more than
fifty miles from
his own home and
this country was
so strange and
different and the
city in which'he
was attending col

that he felt very
lonely and home-
sick. As a Christ-
Kev. Althouse ian (] le h a( i been
born into a Christian family) he
looked forward to his first Sun
day in this country as an oppor
tunity to meet some new Christ
ian friends.
Sunday arrived and he set out
for a nearby church he had not
iced earlier in the week. “Every
one welcome!” a sign had pro
claimd. “The Friendly Church,”
promised another. With a sense
of happy expectation he ascend
ed the steps in front of the
church.
Your church
“Good morning,” he said cheer
fully to the usher at the front
door. Instead of a similar re
sponse, however, there came a
heavy hand on his arm, a re
straining hand, and a cool,
“Where do you think you’re
going?”
Tne man was smiling so the
student assumed he had made a
mistake “Isn’t there going to he
a service at 11 o’clock?” he
v anted to know. “Nigger,” said
the man with a humorless grin,
“there's no service for you here
at any time 1 Your church is down
near the ra.j oad station.”
“Your church,” the man had
said as if some churches be
longed to some people and other
churches belonged to others. For

the Christian Church, he felt ft
strange sense of being divided
off from some of his fellow
Christian. The churchdoor had
become a wall.
The wall of alienation
The wnten of Ephesians calls
this dividedness “alienation.” Itt
addressing Christians in Ephesus
who were regarded as Gentiles
before their conversion, the writ
er is reminding them that until
the coming of Christ there had
been a wall dividing them from
the “people of God” (the com
monwealth of Israel, Ephesians
2:12). The promises that had
been made to the Jews (the cov
enants'of promise) had oeen be*
yond their reach because of this
wall.
It was true that there had been
a strong barrier between the Gen
tile and the Jew, The Hebrew
laws called upon the Jew to
keep himself at a distance from
all unnecessary contact with Gen
tiles. Such contact, it was
thought, made the Jew impure
in God’s sight.
The greatest segregation was
in the house of worship. Gen
tiles who entered the temple area
could be summarily killed for
violating the sanctity of this holy
place with their impurity. Thus
the wall separating Jew and
Christian Gentile was not just
a legal wall, but a wall of dis
trust, suspicion, and hostility.
An eternity of space
The wall, however had been
broken down now and things
could never be the same. Actual
ly, several walls had been de
stroyed by Christ:
Down came the wall which had
separated them from Christ.
Down came the wall that sep
arated them from the people of
God.
Down came the wall that made
them strangers to the promises
which God had made with the
people of Israel.
Down came the wall that had
shut them off from God and
hope.
Once an eternity of space had
separated the Greek and Jew;
now that eternity had been
bridged because a man named
Jesus had laid down his life.
There are still so many walls
today: walls between races, walls
between regions, walls between
classes, walls between ,genera
tions. To all of us who stand on
either side of these walls' Christ
commands as he did to the Jew
and the Gentile, “Down with
walls!”
