Dennis Wolffe of Millville helps a 6-hour old calf
get a drink from its dam, one of several he showed
at the Farm Show this week. Wolffe and his Pen-Col
Farm Guernseys were named Premiere Breeder. A
participant in the Farm Show for the past 10 years,
he has 200 head of dairy cows on his farm, half of
which are Holsteins. His Guernseys average 601
pounds of butterfat; his Holsteins checked in with
672 this past year. He sells all of his milk through
his jugging operation.

■Die Point of Sale System,
Junkins explained, concerns

checkouts. Supermarket
spokesmen generally favor
the system because of
speedier handling at the
checkout counters and
reduced cost to the con

More importantly, the
computerized system per

about which products move
off the shelves the fastest.
Objections to the system
have been raised by con

the Consumer Federation of

objection is that prices will
no longer be stamped on
individual items.
Industry maintains that to

Milk aids in
child’s nutrition
That’s the good word
during National Children’s
Dental Health Week,
February 1 through 7. Dairy
Council Inc., Southampton,
Pa. reminds you that a
child’s diet has a lot to do
with the health of his or her
teeth. Be sure to serve a
glass of milk with every
meal and with that after
school snack for the calcium
and vitamin D that’s needed.
Youngsters (and oldsters
too) can get the many im
portant milk nutrients by
eating other dairy foods as
well. Cheese in its many
forms is generally well liked.
Grilled sandwiches,
cheeseburgers, and fondue
are fun ways to eat cheese

products to relieve cold
symptoms. Advertisers
spend another $7O million to
promote their own brands of
relief.
A recent consumer study,
however, shows most over
the-counter cold remedies
are remarkably similar.
Almost all contain at least
two or three basic
ingredients: a pain reliever,
a decongestant, and an
antihistamine.
In some cases, according
to Consumer Reports, the
pain reliever is aspirin. And
though a decongestant in
relatively high doses can
help relieve cold symptoms
for a few hours, the dosage
found in time-released
capsules usually supplied too
little medication at any one
time to be much help. An
antihistamine, on the other
hand, can actually intensify
a cough by thickening
