Show DAIRY MONTH PLANSJJNDERWAY Dairymen of the Bingham district dis-trict area are joining with others throughout the state in commemorating commem-orating June Dairy Month beginning be-ginning next week. With store displays, Dairy day at Lagoon on June 10, speeches before civic clubs, and a Dairy Darling contest, dairymen will tell the story of milk s low cost importance to health. General chairman of the observance is Ford Creer of Ogden. A recent public opinion poll showed 55 per cent of those quizzed quiz-zed believed milk to be the most nutritious food for their money. Hugh L. Rusch, vice president of the Opinion Research Corporation Corpor-ation of Princeton, N. J., recently disclosed this fact. The survey was made among a national sample sam-ple of adults, said Rusch, "including "in-cluding the right distribution of people of the upper, middle, and lower income groups; the proper proportion for each age bracket; farmers, professional people, white collar and manual workers, work-ers, men and women." Milk is a low cost food and more than 60 million quarts are being distributed to American consumers every day at prices that have gone up less than other oth-er major food groups. U. S. Government cost of living liv-ing index figures show prices of all foods -on January 15, 1952 at 232.4 compared to the 1935-39 base of 100, while the home-delivered milk is only 196.0, according accord-ing to the Milk Industry Foundation, Foun-dation, one of sponsors of June Dairy Month. i |
