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:

F/Lt. and Mrs. Arthur Skid-

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. You will

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
