knowledge of the dairy industry

products, was crowned the 1984

at the Farm and Home Center,
Lancaster, Miss Miller stressed
the need for increased promotion
to help solve'the dairy surplus
problem. She also told the
audience to look towards the future
with a bright attitude.
“If we have optimism and look
towards the future with a bright
attidude, then it will be bright,”
Miss Miller said. “But if we look at
the future with a depressed at
titude, it will be depressing.”
The daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Manheim Central High School. She
currently works at the Clearview

family farm which houses a herd of
30 Holsteins. She is a member of
the West Green Tree Youth Group.

Miss Miller competed against two
other contestants. All three were
interviewed, presented a 30-second
radio spot to the audience and
answered impromtu questions
about milk and the dairy industry.
For her 30-second spot, Miss Miller
presented the following:

She was the top producer of this
farm’sherd,
Producing 100 pounds a day
without a word.
The milk she produced was filled
with nutrition,
Containing vitamins and
minerals - nothin’ is missin’.
Calcium and phosphorus are just
a few,
That give us healthy teeth and
strong bones, too!
Filled with Vitamins A, D, E and
K,
Milk at breakfast starts a perfect
day.
Riboflavin and thiamin are also
apart,
Using dairy products often would
be smart.
The proteins in milk are
essential to us,
Nourishing the blood and tissue,
which is a must.
Milk also contains milk sugar
called carbohydrates,
That give us quick energy and
strength to lift weights.
The fat in milk is important for
flavor.
And aids in digestion, so do me a
favor.
The next time you’re hungry and
need somethin’ to please,
Have some milk, ice cream or
cheese.
For the weight conscious person,
there is plenty for you.
There’s skim milk and yogurt
and cottage cheese, too.
So the next time you go to your
local dairy store,
Pick up some milk, ’cause Milk
has More!
Miss Miller received her crown
and banner from 1983 Lancaster
County Dairy Princess Bom
Gochenaur. Miss Gochenaur also
presented alternate dairy princess
banners to both Sarah
Arrowsmith, 16, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William Arrowsmith
of Peach Bottom, and Kris
Esbenshade, 17, the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Esbenshade of
Quarryville.
In other honors, Miss
Arrowsmith was voted by the other
contestants as Miss Congeniality.
Judging the contest were Jane
Pepple of Pep-L-Lea Holsteins;
Ernest Miller, a dairy farmer; and
Donald Welk, director of sales for
Weaver Poultry.
Following the pageant, the
several hundred guests were
treated to ice cream sundaes,
donated by area businesses.

LEBANON Ellen Hanson
traded in her alternate dairy
princess title for the 1984 Lebanon
County dairy princess crown last
Saturday evening in the Annville
Elementary School. For the past
year, Ellen has acted as Lebanon
County’s alternate dairy princess,
and this year she will continue to
promote Lebanon’s dairy industry
as their new dairy princess.
Ann Lansberry, the 16-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald
Lansberry, 430 N. Mine Road,
Lebanon, will replace Ellen as the
alternate dairy princess.
The new princess is the 17-year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Ivan Hanson, R 2 Palmyra. Ellen is
a recent graduate of Palmyra High

president of the South Mountain 4-

could include attending college to
study horticulture and dairy herd

cows on their farm.
During an on-stage interview,
Ellen said her responsibilities on
the farm include milking,
unloading hay, and helping
wherever she is needed. Her goals,
she said, include owning a dairy
farm and maybe a greenhouse as
well.
For her milk promotion
presentation, Ellen had a talk with
her invisible, magic cow, who told
the audience, through Ellen, how
dairy products and imitation dairy
products differ and why it is im
portant to choose dairy products
carrying the Real Seal.
When master of ceremonies
Lloyd Early, an Agway
salesaman, asked alternate dairy
princess Ann why she wanted to be
dairy princess, she responded that
milk is an important part of
everyone's daily life and she would
like to encourage people to drink it.
Her second interview question
asked how she became involved in
dairying since she was raised on a
horse farm. She said that she has
always visited the dairy farm
behind her home and won a calf
through FF A.
