Co.) The recent increase in
public concern about dietary fat

industry has grown, Penn State is

“A continuous supply of prop
erly trained young people is
required to fill many production,
supervisory, management and
technical positions,” says Dr. Wil

of poultry science in Penn Stale’s

Search for County
Dairy Princess
Candidates
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) Once again, the
Pennsylvania dairy industry is seeking candidates to
serve as County Dairy Princesses in their local area
throughout the State. All single young women from a
dairy background or with an interest in the dairy industry
should consider devoting a year of their spare time help
ing to further the interests of that industry in their home
county.
The 1993 winner will serve the county dairy industry
for one year beginning on July 1. She will make many
appearances at schools, malls, and grocery stores and
have the opportunity to speak to civic clubs, senior citi
zens groups, farm and non-farm audiences, and to appear
on television and radio. In addition, she will represent the
dairy industry in parades and at fairs and will represent
her county at the Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Pageant in
Harrisburg on September 16-18.
The winner of the county pageant will receive numer
ous gifts, a scholarship, and will attend three days of
training at Lycoming College, Williamsport. Non
material benefits include tremendous personal growth,
development of self confidence and speaking ability, the
opportunity to travel and meet new friends.
The Pennsylvania Dairy Princess receives a $1,200
cash award with $6OO going to each of her alternates. The
State title is honorary and there is no interruption of
school or employment commitments. The State Pageant
is coordinated by Pennsylvania Dairy Princess and Prom
otion Services, Inc.
Any single woman between 16-24 years of age, never
married, and whose parents or guardians are engaged in
dairy farming or are employed in a dairy related industry
is eligible to compete for the title. A young woman is also
eligible if she, herself, is employed as above or is the
owner of at least two animals of the six major dairy
breeds in a bona fide 4-H or FFA project prior to May 1,
