I've been to Philadelphia twice so far. The first time I helped to celebrate Super Sunday. There was block after block of items being displayed and sold. My picture was taken in front of the largest ice cream sundae I ever saw. It stood approximately ten feet tall and looked absolutely delicious even though it was made of plaster parus. Early the next morning I was the guest of the Captain Noah Show where I explained to Captain Noah and his large TV audience how to make butter. Later that afternoon I had the opportunity to see the Philadelphia Zoo and felt right at home when I saw TSC TSC TSC TSC TRACTOR SUPPLY CO. 2217 LINCOLN HWY.

The second time I was at Philadelphia, the New Jersey Dairy Princess, Barbara Gordeuk, and I were guests on the "Dialing for Dollars Show" and the I 1 I was also thrilled when I had the privilege of going to see the World’s Champion Milk-Producing Cow • a Super Cow that produced over 50,000 lbs. of milk per lactation. I had my picture taken with this fantastic cow, but the biggest ex citement for me was being allowed to squirt some milk from her. With all this increased production being made available by breeding a better cow, it is more im portant than ever .that we all ban together and all take the responsibility of promoting Milk and dairy products. Some ways that you, as dairymen, can do more m the promotion of milk are: 1) To Advertise - Ad vertising and promotion are the most efficient and ef fective sales tools available. It indicates confidence in your product and instills consumer confidence in it too. Support your local ad vertising agencies. 2) A cheaper, simple, and very effective way is to tell TSC TSC TSC TSC TSC TSC TSC TSC T O “Gary Geers” TV show. Our hosts took us out to eat at the “Bull Tavern” Restaurant. I thought, what an ap propriate place to take a couple of dairy princesses. One of my dreams has always been to see a “Miss America”. And, in November, my dream came true. I was asked to be in a big holiday parade with Miss Pennsylvania, Karen Kuhn, and Miss America, Shirley Cothran. That was truly a very memorable day for me and one of the highlights of my experiences. But, as time went on I also had other highlights.

Saturday. June 7,1975 your local consumers yourself about the wholesomeness of Milk. After all, it is nature’s most nearly perfect food. 3) Ladles, if you have a favorite dairy recipe, why not share it with the con sumers you come in contact with. People are always looking for new recipes to try so why not have recipes promoting as many dairy products as possible. I have compiled a pam phlet filled with ten of my favorite dairy recipes which is available through the Department of Agriculture. One which I’d like to share with you is; YUM-YUM 60 Butter-style crackers pound butter 2 quarts vanilla ice cream I*4 cups MILK 2 packages instant pudding (Chocolate, Coconut Cream, Pistachio, or Vanilla) Use 9 x 13 pan. Crush crackers into crumbs. Mix with melted butter in pan. Press. Beat milk and ice cream with beater. Beat in instant pudding. Pour over crumbs. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours. Another way I have found to reach the consumer is with music. Through singing our song “Make Mine Milk Today” with the rest of the family, I have seen the en thusiasm on the faces of people as they get excited about our product. I believe those that can't be reached with the spoken word about milk can be reached through song. I will be closing my speeches this summer with two songs I have written about milk. OXFORD, PA. • FEED and GRAIN • GRINDING and MIXING • ANIMAL HEALTH and FARM PRODUCTS • HORSE and PET SUPPLIES WEIGEL BROS. 245 Commerce Street 932-8763 Alot of hard work and long hours go into producing the milk that consumers drink. We’re proud of our product. Let’s all get involved and do our share. Daughters of dairy far mers - you too can do your part in the promotion of milk. One of the best and most economical ways is through dairy princess pageants. This year many counties will be holding their pageants in the city malls. This Is an excellent op portunity to get the message to the consumer. I encourage girls from 16 to 21 years of age to go out for the local dairy princess contest in your county. If you’re like me, you are probably somewhat frightened, but if you just ask God for strength and courage and rely on him, He will see you through. It’s really a beautiful experience. You get to meet so many wonderful people and most important of all, you are doing your part in the promotion of milk. In other words, you are helping to keep the dairy farmer in business. I am looking forward to the most exciting summer of my life traveling throughout the whole state of Pennsylvania. My activities will include Television and Radio ap pearances, Shopping cen ters, County Dairy Princess pageants, and speaking and singing to farm and civic organizations. In closing let me remind you that when reaching for a beverage, reach for a cold, refreshing glass of milk, because MILK IS THE REAL THING!! 61
