    Dairy Council Celebrates 76 Years
EVERETT NEWSWANGER
Managing Editor
TREVOSE (Bucks Co.) The
76th annual meeting of Dairy
Council, Inc., took place Thursday
at the Radisson Hotel.
The Council is a communication
arm of the dairy industry, especial
ly working with nutrition educa
tion as it deals with dairy products.
A special effort is made to be scien
tifically accurate in the recommen
dations made to nutritionists and
school food program adminstra
tors. Innovation, reliability, and
commitment to the dairy industry
and its customers was the theme of
the meeting.
Dr. Patrick Kirschling, St.
Joseph’s University, presented an
overview of marketing and drew
attention to the large sums of
money spent on advertising by the
competitors of the dairy industry.
He said $6O billion was spent by
the beer and soft-drink industries,
and only one-fourth of one percent
of this amount was spent by the
dairy industry.
Gordon McDonald, Dairy Man
agement, Inc. (DMI), said the
beverage competition is taking aim

at milk, trying to push it to the back
of the refrigerator. Overall con
sumption of milk has not changed
much in the last three years, but
kids’ consumption has decreased.
McDonald said this lower con
sumption of kids 6to 11 years was
significant because the market is
vulnerable to lifetime habits. The
decline in family willingness to
make sure kids drink milk is
threatening to the industry.
The Council’s goal is to increase
consumption. Specific programs
include “Chef Combo,” a Disney
like figure that visited the meeting;
“Nutrition, It’s elementry” that
taught basic nutrition; “School
Food Service” to the public
schools; and adult communication
that involve media presentations.

Over 80% of the nation’s top egg
producers* have already switched
to Chore-Time cages with ULTRAFLO*
Feeders!*
Egg producers have been putting up with obsolete
chain feeders far too long. Now there’s a better
way: Chore-Time’s proven ULIKAFLO Cage Feeding
System. Since introduction, more than 80% of the top
54 egg producers* have gone to ULTRAFLO. A lot of
smaller ones have too.
They’ve all looked at the advantages and chosen
ULTRAFLO. That’s because it makes them more
profitable. Total egg production and egg size—these
are the best benefits of our complete feeding system.
Why not check out the facts for yourself? Contact
us now—or ask any producer who owns ULTRAFLO.
Because the only negative comments about our
feeding system come from our competition—not from
our customers.
