—Lancaster Farming, Saturday. July 3, 1976 62 Pa. Dairy Princess relates experiences By SALLY BAIR Feature Writer To Charlene Maust, speaking about milk is as natural as drinking it. Charlene, 17, is Penn sylvania’s Dairy Princess and is spending her summer working full time for the Bureau of Markets in the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, and telling anyone who will listen about the virtues of dairy products. And, Lancaster County can boast this first lady of the dairy industry as a There’s nothing more natural for a Dairy Prin cess than pouring a tall glass of fresh cold refreshing milk. resident - temporarily at least. Charlene, a Somerset County native, is living with the Robert H. Kauffman family, Elizabethtown R 1, and commuting to her job in Harrisburg. Mrs. Kauffman says the family sees little of Charlene, however, because she spends so much of the time traveling the state. Another Lancaster countian, Joyce Groff, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Groff, Quarryville, travels with Charlene as her coordinator. Joyce is home economist with the Bureau of Markets. Charlene said she entered her county contest because she thought it was a good way to say, “Dad, I’m proud of you and I want to represent you in the best way that I can.” Much of the time Charlene makes appearances to farm related organizations, but she enjoys those encounters in which she meets con-, sumers directly. She has participated in many shopping mall promotions of dairy products, some in con junction with Dairy Princess contests. She feels mall promotions are “one of the best ways to meet con sumers. We usually go during the busy hours when many people are shopping, and it’s a good way to meet lots of people.” Typically, she goes with a display from the Depart ment of Agriculture which includes information about all of Pennsylvania’s agriculture commodities. Making appearances at malls has been an eye opening experience for Charlene. She said the most productive types - of promotions have been when milk or dairy product samples are distributed.. In addition she has .pamphlets about the dairy industry, bumper'stickers and recipe brochures to hand out. But the comments she hears are fascinating. Some samples: “I don’t like milk. I hate milk. Milk’s too fat tening.” To each of these Charlene 'responds in her easy-going, charming manner. She said she tries to explain reasons for drinking milk or alternative ways of using dairy products in the diet. To those who it’s fat tening she suggests that they try skim milk. But, she said, those who say they hate milk usually keep on walking. She is pleased when people stop and talk, and often people tell her that although they don’t drink milk, they use it a lot in cooking. “Young children,” she says with laugh, “never get enough milk and always come back anid ask for another sample.” She said, “Some people are so glad- they are amazed that something is free, but willing to take anything you give them.” She has noticed some difference in urban area malls and those which are more rural. “City people are more reluctant to take what you offer. They don’t get many things free and often they will say, ‘Yes, I’ll take some, how much does it cost?’ ” -r. At the end of May Charlene taped a guest appearance on the Mike Douglas television show which was broadcast in this area recently.
