However, I do think they may be missing the point. Consumers need to be en couraged to buy and use more dairy products, so why doesn’t the National Dairy Promotion Board offer dairy recipes for those delicious looking foods at the end of each advertisement? To take the idea one step further, why not offer dairy savings coupons (10 cents or 20 cents or 25 cents off on milk, butter, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, etc., etc.? This could be especially ap propriate with the holiday season approaching! Of course, con sumers would have to submit a self-addressed, stamped envelop to reduce postage costs, but what a bonanza for dairymen. I’m certain you’ll say this better than I ever could, so please foster the idea along. Sincerely yours in service* to farmers.

To Beware of Anti-Freeze Poisoning in Dogs An increasing number of people are doing their own automobile, truck and tractor maintenance. This may include draining and changing the anti-freeze. If you are among this group of home mechanics, a word of warning is advised. Our Extension Veterinarian tells us that dogs find the sweet flavor of anti-freeze solutions very tasty. Beware! Ethylene glycol, a chief ingredient in anti-freeze, is ex tremely toxic to dogs, causing severe kidney damage. Never I'eave open containers of automotive coolant lying where a dog might find and drink from them. If your car, truck or tractor leaks coolant or the radiator overflows into the driveway, clean the spill and dispose of the soaked towels properly, so your own or your neighbor’s dog cannot .inadvertently harm itself.
