The first contributor to this venture is Anne C. Holst of
East Greenwich, Conn. The bride’s handkerchief, she
explains, is a tradition which her father’s mother brought
to Rhode Island from Philadelphia when she married the
New Englander.
THE BRIDE’S HANDKERCHIEF
Making a handkerchief for the bride,
Deep crocheted lace along each side;
Loving stitches by an old friend
(The only present she could send).
“American Lace”, crochet has been called;
Fine handwork, worthy of all
High-bom or low-bom great or small.
Feminine pride for such things call.
The bride is a vision of loveliness.
Tucked in the wrist of her wedding dress
The Bridal Handkerchief all snowy white,
Goes up the aisle in the candle light.
White satin ribbons champagne and flowers-
Enchanted, radiant, glowing hours;
Memories to treasure and last through the years,
Undimmed by the mists of future-day tears.
Careful hands pack the kerchief away
in blue tissue-paper against the day,
When the bride’s clever hands will fold
A bonnet, for a baby just a few weeks old.
The Christening Bonnet for her first-bom
Snowy white and with deep lace adorned.
White satin ribbons tied under wee chin,
The Bridal Handkerchief serves again.

ROSEMONT, 111. - Results
of a recent United Dairy
Industry Association
marketmg and economic
research survey indicate
American Dairy
Association’s June 1977
promotion, “Shake Up A
Magic Cow,” which en
couraged the use of milk
instead of water with
powdered soft drink mix,
met its primary objective of
increasing milk con
sumption among children.
The survey consisted of
telephone interviews con
ducted by Market Facts, Inc.
for UDIA, with two groups of
people in 10 cities: 250
mothers with children
between 6 and 14 who did not
order the “Magic Cow”
shaker set offered m the
promotion (six shakers for
$1), and 217 mothers with
children six to 14 who had
received the sets (a portion
of the interviews in this
group were also held with
the children)

Magic Cow is liked in ap
proximately 80 per cent of
the households where the
shaker set was purchased
and the drink tried. Children
who liked the drink indicated
thev prefer Magic Cow over
powdered soft drink mix with
water. The interviews also
revealed they might prefer it
over carbonated soft drinks
(most of the mothers in these
households saw Magic Cow
as a substitute for car
bonated soft drinks).
Additionally 80 per cent of
the children who said they
liked Magic Cow reported
drinking more milk after
trying it.
The greatest consumption
of Magic Cow, according to
the survey, occurs during
snacking occasions, par
ticularly in the afternoon.
This is when milk con
sumption has traditionally
been low. A large percentage
of children and mothers also
said the dnnk is consumed
without any snack, which
indicates it is acceptable as
a snack in itself.

standing service awards.
Agri-King president Del
Curley said that this was
truly an outstanding
achievement since it is
seldom that members of any
one region receive this
award. He stated further
that all members of the
DeLong group are dedicated
to their profession and to the
welfare of their customers.
