Highlights of the conference in- cluded: : Dairy industry men cited new container ideas and said bulk milk dispensers in restaurants were help- ing to lower the cost of milk hand- ling. Increased use of bulk tanks on farms and research on processed products promised a tastier variety of milk foods. Poultry meat and egg panelists predicted sausage-packaged turkey meat, frozen turkey croquettes and several types of ‘peek-a-boo’ egg cartons. Surplus fats, created by consumer demand for detergents in- stead of animal-fat soaps, are used as a feed additive for laying hens to produce better eggs. Broilers are cheaper probably because scientific diet and handling methods have re- duced to five pounds the amount of feed needed to raise a three-pound broiler. Vegetable men noted that pre- packaging requirements are chang- ing growing methods, citing current- ly used varieties of beets, turnips and other items which are half the size of previous varieties. Consum- ers of canned goods, the ‘“‘granddad- dy of kitchen timesavers,” were used to choose the correct grade needed for the particular cooking purpose. Fruit panelists said new ‘‘sport” varieties of apples and peaches were greatly increasing the supply of well-colored high quality fruit. Use of processed pie-fills has increased up to 54 per cent of all pies con- sumed in the nation. Experimental “systematic” insecticides which spread internally through fruit trees may reduce present spraying costs and produce better fruit. State Secretary of Agriculture William L. Henning reviewed recent developments in livestock feeding and marketing. He said experimen- tal use of stilbesterol and other drugs was speeding up the fatten- ing of beef cattle and other live- stock and eventually something of this nature may be brought into general use. - He told of the growing importance of Pennsylvania as a livestock and poultry state. Improved breeding and feeding techniques are such as to bring further advancement as and when needed to meet consumer de- mands, he explained. A panel of national farm maga- zine representatives discussed “What's New in Foods Across the Nation,” citing soil fumigants, in- creased use of plant foods and new anti-biotic feed additives as factors in “increasing our food supply as fast or faster than the increase in population.” Increased mechanization, growth of agricultural service organizations, and applied scientific advances will more than offset the decreasing farm population, the panel concluded.

Jointure Teachers Join In Red Cross Drive The membership drive in the four schools of the Dallas Borough-King- ston Township Joint School District last week brought in a total of $115.00 distributed as follows: Dallas Elementary School $32.00 Shavertown Elemen. School 13.00 Trucksville Elemen. School 18.00 Westmoreland High School 46.00 Administration Office 6.00 This is an increase of $18.00 over last year. Ambulance Fund Dallas Considers Sinking Fund Including the cost of the resusci- tater given by Dallas Junior Wom- ans Club to Dallas Community Am- bulance Association, and the $100 donation from the Senior Womans Club, Dallas Community Ambulance Association went well over the $3,000 mark in its recent drive. With all outstanding bills paid, treasury balance is now $2,685.35, as reported at Friday night's board meeting by W. B. Jeter, treasurer. A budget committee, William Wright, Don Evans and Howard Johns, was appointed by Robert Laux, president, to determine neces- sary expenditure for this year, and to estimate how much may safely be put into the sinking fund for eventual replacement of present ambulance and equipment. A goal of $1,500 was set, to be set aside if possible. Leslie Barstow reported on Dal- las solicitation, Jack Stanley on Dallas Township. Both men report a sum still outstanding in pledges. William Morgan, drive chairman, ex- pressed himself as well pleased with results. Six calls were made in February, but March started off with four calls the first two days, Kingston Town- ship answering one call to Goss Manor when the Dallas ambulance was out on a call. Formation of an auxiliary was discussed, with a tentative meeting night set for March 31, 8 p.m. in the Dallas Borough Building. Norti Berti reported for the prop- erty committee. A leaking oxygen tank and the blinker light motor replaced. Sheets and pillow cases in the amount of $16.98 were pur- chased. Harry Brown recommended that the association purchase a second stretcher, folding model, to use in case two accident victims must be ‘transported simultaneously, and two additional masks for the resus- citator. The matter was referred to the committee. Betty Stanley, corresponding sec- retary, was voted $10 in petty cash to defray cost of postage and sup- plies. A receipt book was ordered placed in the ambulance, to take care of donations received on thes job. Leslie Barstow reported that the arrangement to have each crew in- spect the ambulance and sign it over to the oncoming crew Sunday night, was working without a hitch.
