Two officials of the association, Dr. Louis Curtis, manager, and William Myerick, secretary, each delivered informative talks td the group in "which they reviewed the growth of in the Uintah Basin and the state of Utah. Dr. Curtis introduced a local problem involving the awarding of a bid by the Duchesne County School Board to' a competitive company to furnish part of the milk to the schools in the county. He reviewed the coming of to the Basin and told of the growth of milk production in the area, which he said, is solely responsible for. Every tanker of milk that goes out of the Basin means $1000 to the people here. The Roosevelt plant processes an average of 50,000 pounds of milk of all daily, which Is the milk produced in Utah by our company, he said. Dr. Curtis announced to the that officials of group, were hurt because the school board had seen fit to import milk into Duchesne county, rather than using milk that is produced by the parents of the children who consume it, and those who pay the taxes to our schools. He maintain urged the milk producers of the Basin to demand that their product be used whenever possible in the areas where it is produced. Several local producers announced they were very unhappy about the situation, and suggested they were going to try to do something about it. Mr. Myerick called producing milk as a reciprocal business. In order for a company to buy that which they need to produce, they first must be able to sell their products. And where a given area is producing a product like the Basin is producing milk, they must be able to sell it, he said. He pointed out that Dairy pays 3 of all the taxes collected in Duchesne County. Heard From Board Member The only member of the Duchesne School Board present at the meeting was Theron Leavitt, who reviewed the action of the board in dividing up the milk distribution between1' Arwhich den Dairy and he said was about equal so far as quantity was concerned. I cannot speak for the board of education only as one individual, and feel sure the entire board W'ould welcome a friendly visit from representatives of the company and producers, Mr. Leavatt stated. According to Mr. Leavitt, the board awarded the bids for supplying milk at a meeting early in September. The first bid for all the milk was awarded to Arden, then when came in with a protest, the board rescinded their action and divided the bid to both and Arden, which is a subsidiary of Beatrice Foods, Inc. Amount of the bids by the two companies first submitted was the same. , Several local people were called on for brief comments. In concluding the dinner meeting Mr. Fitzgerald, who has been president of since it was organized in Kamas Valley several years ago, announced that this type of an affair would be held annually.
