LEBANON Lebanon
County’s new dairy princess,
Connie McFeaters, says it’s
time to promote milk “It’s a
natural food. In this age of
‘junk foods,’ it’s tune to
promote natural foods like
milk for a healthier nation,”
she proclaimed last week
Miss McFeaters, the 16-
year old daughter of Mr and
Mrs. Leonard McFeaters,
Annville R 3, was chosen
from among a group of five
Lebanon County girls who
vied for the title of dairy

Miss McFeaters, who will
begin her senior year at
Annville-Cleona High School
this Fall, has ambitions for
becoming a veterinarian and
animal psychologist To
attain that goal, she would
like to attend Penn State
university. Active m sports

Like most dairy prin

plans to go to elementary
schools where she will want
to convince youngsters that
they should drink milk “It’s
best to start them young so
they’ll grow up realizing the
value of milk,” she ex
plained.
Milk is for everybody,
however, the young lady
insists. She stresses the fact
that milk is a natural food
and that it should be in
cluded in everyone’s diet
If Miss McFeaters were
given 30 seconds to address
the population of the country

said she would tell her
audience that milk has high
nutritional value and is good
for the individual at any age
“It helps you stay healthy,”
