Dairy princess
[Continued from Page 53]
She said she chose to go,
because, “I wanted to travel
and go somewhere and do
something different. I knew
people who had gone
before.” She spent one
month working in Berlin,
Germany, where the group
dug ditches for a sewer in a
rest home. She spent another
month in Switzerland where
they cleared out a forest. She
laughed about the bard
work, saying, “We had to
pay to do it - we payed room
and board.” Accomodations,
she admitted, were very
nice. Despite the hard work,
she said, “It was a terrific
experience.”
After working, she
traveled in Holland,
Germany, Austria, and
Switzerland. She had crossed
the Atlantic on a student
ship, but traveled alone most
of the time. “I thoroughly
enjoyed being alone, even
though I did not speak the
language,” she asserts.
When she returned, she
worked for a company which
made hammennilla and feed
grinders, and clerked for her
father who was also an.
auctioneer. She continued
clerking until just Spring.
In 1966 Joyce married
Marlin Shenk and the couple
now has three children;
Chadwick, 8, Lavonne, 5 and
Ryan, who is nearly two.
They are expecting another
child in August.
Her husband helps operate
E.E. Shenk and Sons, which
owns hammermills and does
custom work. They also own
three tractor trailer trucks,
to haul com, com cobs, or
molasses. “He loves it,”
Joyce says.
The couple resides on
Valley Road outside of
Manheim on a seven-acre
farm. They raise beef and
chickens, com and hay. “I
don’t feel I have been
removed from the farm,”
Joyce says. But she adds, “I
was very sorry to’see my
mother and Daddy move off
the farm.”
She says emphatically that
she enjoys living in the
country, and feels her
children are fortunate,
because they are learning
responsibilities.

young children obviously
keeps this dairy princess
busy, but she said, “We have
a garden, and I do all the
canning and breezing I can. I
also thoroughly enjoy sewing
and do a lot of it.” Although
she was in 4-H, she said, “My
mother always sewed for us,
and I picked it up from her.”
The Shenk family belongs
to the Chiddes Creek Church
of the Brethren where Joyce
sings on the choir and Marlin
and Joyce share the duties of
Bible School Director. Joyce
also plays on the church
softball league, although she
has momentarily curtailed
that activity.
About the contest, Joyce
remarked, “I feel it’s a great
boost for the dairy industry.
The girls have to work a lot
harder, but it is worth it.”
With her background as
Miss Milkmaid, Joyce
continues'to do her part. She
said, “We use a lot of milk in
our family.”

Fruit-flavored yogurt stirs up sales
ROSEMONT, 111 - Yogurt
may be a 5,000 year-old dairy
product, but it’s stQl new to
American consumers. Why
has it taken yogurt so long to
catch on?
Its first customers in the
United, States' were ethnic
groups who grew up with
yogurt in their native land.
Yogurt was a familiar food
in many countries such as
Russia, Blugaria, Turkey,
Greece, Armenia and India. -
Later, yogurt’s reputation
as a health food made it
popular. Nutritionally,
yogurt has all the protein
and other benefits of the milk
from which it is made.
Many physical health
cultists claimed the product
could prolong life, correct
overweight, restore hair and
sexual prowess-
Dieters selected yogurt to
help them loose weight or
gain health. Actually, an
eight-ounce container has
130 to 140 calories in the plain
variety and up to 250 calories
flavored. For many, one cup
of yogurt will make an entire
meal.
The dieters were followed
by the “wheat-germ and
sanded set” who thought the
product would slow down old
age.
Despite interest by these
various groups, yogurt
wasn’t a consumer’s favorite
until the mid-sixties when
manufacturers decided to
sweeten the product to
counteract its acidity.
Yogurt developed a new
image and sales began to
soar.
“Fruit-at-the-bottom” was
created in 1965 and yogurt
sales really jumped. Today
flavored yogurt accounts for
90 per cent of the market
with strawberry, cherry and
rasberry heading the list of
favorites. Currently, more
- than.2s different flavors are
marketed.
Half of the yogurt eaters in
the United States live on the
»st coast; 20 per cent on the
west coast; with the balance
throughout the country.
For whatever the reason,
one thing is certain: yogurt
has arrived..
