(They) are detrimental to the welfare of the dairy industry,” the delegates wrote on the last matter. The delegates voted to have the association (Eastern) take whatever steps that are necessary or advisable to prevent the continuation of dairy product substitutes on the market In addition, the delegates went on record to reaffirm its opposition to the Food and Drug Ad mmistation’s proposed requirement for labeling dairy product substitutes Only one of the seven resolutions was defeated That one dealt with the £ Multi-Lateral Trade* Agreement. The proposal of some Eastern members had been to have the Senate modify the allotments of cheese to be imported into the United States The minority opinion was that the Multi-Lateral Trade Agreement was not in the best interest of dairy far mers. tern M mourn JL C GEORGE BOOK R 2, Box 80 Mifflmtown, PA 717 527 2228 ELAMG HOOVER R 2, Box 531 Reading, PA 215-926 2908 ELWINH REAM Hughesville, PA 717 584-4085 LEON BURKHOLDER 975 Spruce St New Holland, PA 17557 717 354 5502
