It was brougt out by one 1 of the dairymen that farm ers make up only six per cent of the voting population ipd that Washington would lean toward consumers. This makes it important that farmers investigate the enabling law that permits or ganized self help. Discuss this with your legislators if you feel it will help them and encourage them to pass it. I also believe farmers should join the Farm Bureau and support it. THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S.

If she was one of 11 Win throp College students in volved in a special field serv ice program at selected stores in the Rock Hill-Fort Mill area, chances are she was more interested in how you bought than what you purchased. The girls, in addition to at tending regular classes at Winthrop College, are learn ing basic merchandising techniques from the man agers and owners of local stores. These home economics ma jors are enrolled in the mer chandising area of home economics, one of the four professional areas in Win- throp’s School of Home Econ omics.

In the field work the girls, learn the problems faced by merchandisers and have a • chance to work out these! problems for themselves. They deal with customers, i check stock, learn the system j of receiving, marking and pricing, and study the book-j keeping operation.

He| felt the government should get out. The dairymen who have had many problems in the past have been pressed to keep reasonable prices. Clif ton Smith and Henry Parr, both large milk producers of Newberry County, brought out some important facts. It was brought out that dairy men have been living under emergency legislation for several years. This emer gency legislation simply up holds the dairy commission. Under the law, the commis- mission has the authority to regulate prices along with many other responsibilities. 1 think this is absolutely nec-ii essary in order to assure the public of a good fresh whole some supply of milk.
