Aid, India conation Seen s ofMI.Ik MjIIionTCii A contribution of $500 from milk producers in Huron and Perth has made possible the de- livery of a carload of skim powder milk to meet an urgent request for food in India. The donation was made by members of the Mitchell Con- centrated Milk Producers Asso- ciation, and was handled through the Unitarian Service Committee of Canada. The 'don- ation is the second made by the local producers — a similar amount having been made avail- able in 1961. The donation makes possible the delivery of a carload -36,- 000 . pounds—of milk powder which, when distributed in Cal- cutta, will mean nearly one million cups of milk. Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova, ex- ecutive director of the Uni- tarion Service Committee of Canada, was in Hong Kong when she learned of the dona- tion. On her return to Canada earlier this month, she com- mented on the benefits which the milk would bring to chil- dren and adults who otherwise would never have the oppor- tunity of benefitting from milk. Donated by the Canadian Government, the milk is provid- ed from surplus stock held in storage. Decision to aid in the milk supply program was taken by producers as a practical means of reducing surplus supplies and at the same time bringing needed aid to areas in the world denied the benefits of dairy products. Acknowledgments of the aid given by the area producers as- sociation are contained in let- ters received recently by Earl M. Oppenhauser, secretary - treasurer of the Mitchell Con- centrated Milk Producers Asso- ciation... In the absence oversews of the executive director, her -as- sistant, Mrs. M. Pierce, wrote to Mr. Oppenhauser: ' "In Dr. Hitschmanova's absence during her current. overseas survey, it is my great privilege •to greet you and thank you for forward- ing to us a further most gen- erous grant of $500—authoriz- ed by the Mitchell Concentrat- ed Milk Producers Association. Once again, we shall be happy indeed to use this huge amount to purchase or transport Cana- dian skim milk powder for our. USC milk feeding programs to meet the wishes expressed by your members in making the grant available to us. Besides our urgent milk feeding outlets in India, you will be pleased to know that our areas of opera- tion these past months have al- so included .Greece and Korea. We are more grateful than I can possibly say to you and your members 'for your support in these endeavours to feed some of the world's hungry, and es- pecially the children, 'with nourishing milk. "I do regret that our Execu-. tive Director is not here to ex- press her personal thanks, al- though I am immediately re- laying the news of your remark- able assistance to her. Will you, therefore, kindly accept .and convey our profound grati- tude in her name, with very grateful wishes to accompany the enclosed receipt." In a second letter she said: In my recent letter I was Present Gifts As Couple Mark 25th Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Smith celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary at their homeon Sunday with a family dinner, with members of their family at home for the occa- sion, who made them the pres- entation of a chrome kitchen suite.

F/Lt. and Mrs. Arthur Skid- more, Sharron and Miss Janet Jenkins have returned from spending a week's vacation at Severn River, off 'Lake Couch- iching. Mrs. Inez Mc.UWen returned home Saturday from St. Jos- eph's Hospital, London, where she- was a patient, happy to tell you that we were sending an immediate message to Dr. Hitsclunanova to convey the good news of yottr very generous grant of $000—your members' were good enough to make available- to -us for our USC milk program, and now she is asking us to relay her message to you we received this week from Hong Kong. "Our Executive Director I'S infinitely grateful to you all for this gift, and very particularly so, for she has just received an urgent request from our associ- ates in Calcutta and from the Karnatak Health Institute in Mysore State asking if the USC could possibly provide a car- load of milk between them. Hap- pily, the Department of Agri- culture still holds one last car- load of skim milk powder for us from surplus supplies, for which your contribution would cover the 'transportation costs. Dr. Hitschmanova could not be more pleased and delighted and declares you have taken a load off her mind, for she was ver worried about the funds to sen this forward. Once again, she hopes you will express her pro- found thanks to your col- leagues." On her return to Canada, Dr. Hitschmanova expressed her appreciation: "I would like to follow up Mrs. Pierce's letter to you of April 9th, to tell you first of all how very touched I was when the exciting news reached me in Hong Kong that your Mit- chell Concentrated Milk Pro- ducers Association had contri- buted the, magnificently gener- ous sum of $500 towards our milk feeding program.

Juni DairyMonth Recalls Importance of indu-stry Canadians are being remind- the beef and 40 per- cent of the' ed this month that the dairy industry is still one of the na- tion's largest, most -important and most complex businesses. Over the years, dairying, in all its manifestations, has become highly efbcient, beginning with the production of milk and car- rying through to the delivery of the finished product to ,the consumer. For instance, it might be as- sumed that the dairy cow popu- lation would be increasing with the increase in milk production which last year topped 18 .bil- lion pounds. However, the num- ber of dairy cows in Canada has not varied significantly for many years, remaining at a level slightly above three mil- lion, animals: Steadily increas- ing milk- production, while in- fluenced on a seasonal basis by weather conditions, can be di- rectly traced to herd culling and breeding programs which have resulted in herds of more highly productive cows. Canadian dairy farming can be divided into two main class- es: (1) the specialty dairy farm where all the income is derived from the sale of milk and dairy cattle', and (2) the general dairy farm where the dairy herd and its products are only a part of the farm business. The special- ty dairy farm most likely will be producing _ fluid milk for a nearby city or town and some breeding stock may be sold if herd members are of good en- ough quality to be in demand. The -general dairy farm may provide a variety of alterna- tives. The milk may be separ- ated and the cream marketed while the skim' milk is kept at home as .feed for hogs or poul- try. Here again the sale of breeding stock from the herd. from time to . time may be an important part of the general farm operation. General dairy farmers often have some cash grain or other crop to ''sell in addition to the milk which may go to concentrated milk plants or cheese factories. In connection, with dairy farming it is important to . re- member that milk is not the only product of the herd. In the process of management, calves as well as cows have to be culled in the interests of herd improvement, which in turn is responsible for the in- creased milk production men- tioned above. This culling pro- cess is the source of consider- able dairy income since it is estimated that 60 per cent of veal consumed in Canada comes from dairy herds. - In a coun- try which ' sometimes becomes preoccupied with the impor- tance of wheat it is worth re- membering that in a given' year the farm value of the products of Canadian dairy herds exceeds 'that of any other single farm product, including wheat. HENSALL Services . in the United Church Sunday morning were well attended. For his sermon topic, Rev. Currie Winlaw spoke on, "God is the Answer." Chas. and Robert Mickle sang a vocal. duet, and the choir sang for their selection, "Great Peace Have They." -.

Sunday, July 1, union church services with the congregation of Carmel Presbyterian Church will begin in the United Church and continue for the month of July. d ongratulations airy arm-ers!
