The idea is similar to the Wick check program, which gives so much milk, cheese, cereal etc. to mothers and children under 5 years. A card would allow a family one gallon of milk per week per person, two lbs. of cheese per month per person and two lbs. of butter per month per person. Also, the limits on the Wick program could be increased in the dairy area. The child’s age limit could be moved from five years to six years, since most children are six before they are on the school lunch program. We’d have a healthier nation, a lower milk surplus and be helping those in need. Frame 1, pkg. 297 lb. 67.20; 340450 lb. 63.50-65.90 ; 525-780 lb. 60.50- 61.95.

Phone 717-776-3129 AND OTHER OPINIONS (Continued from Page A 10) The real problem is the extra milk, not the paying of the $l3/cwt. for the milk. Let’s look what would happen if a farmer would Hump one 100-cwt. tank of milk per month at |l3/cwt. He would have approximately 14. milk pickups for the month (14Xfl3X100=|18,200). If the deduction goes through, the farmers would get less money even with a whole month of pickups (15X112X100=118,000). This would help cut down on the surplus milk. The farmer would be making out a bit better than with the dairy deduction. Please, consider these ideas. They won’t solve the whole surplus milk problem but would help.
