And Community Progress $3.00 PER YEAR June Dairy Month To De Observed Throughout Utah of the Uintah Basin in the June Dairy Month, officially proclaimed as such by Governor J. Bracken Lee. Horace J, Gunn, general chairman, June Dairy Month committee, said that Utahs observance would include addresses on dairying and its products before civic and groups, special evenings, dairy foods specials in the food markets. American homemakers spent an estimated 63 billion dollars for food in 1954, Mr. Gunn said. About 15 of that total, or 9 billion dollars, purchased milk and milk products. While the homemaker was spending 15 of her food budget for dairy products, she was actually buying 30 of her familys nutritional needs. On a nutritional basis, this makes dairy products the most economical source of vitamins, minerals, protein and energy - supplying foods. The industry which puts these dairy foods on the store shelves or home doorsteps is the biggest agricultural enterprise in the nation. Not only does it involve more than three mililon dairy farmers, but also there are an estimated seven million other people employed in the hauling of the milk from farm to processing plant, in bottiilng or manufacturing the milk Into such products as butter, cheese, ice cream, evaporated milk, cottage cheese and non-fa- t dry milk solids. Then there are all the people involved the dairy foods in distributing from plant to store or doorstep. Utah dairy foods rank with Mr. the finest in the nation, Gunn concluded.
