The Pennsylvania Milk Marketing Board’s order to move
prices up was a selective price increase in that it didn’t
follow the follar-for-dollar cost increase pass-through dic
tated by the Nixon Administration's Cost of Living Council
Some prices were hiked more than others at the retail level,
although farmers were to get a uniform $1 a cwt. boost in the
Class I price. Board chairman Harry Kapleau was in
Washington this week conferring with the Cost of Living
Council, but no word yet on the outcome of those talks. Just
rumors.
Sylvia Porter, the financial columnist syndicated in papers
all over the country, told her readers last week that food
producers and marketers aren't the villains in rising food
prices. She said increased costs of inspection, sanitation,
pollution control, rising labor costs, skyrocketing gram costs
and bad weather have all helped boost food prices Good to
hear a balanced story from a lady who’s a well-known and
respected consumer advocate.
