more people than work is that
more people worry than work.
Seeing ourselves as others see

No Price Rise
In Milk Seen
For Newberry
A spokesman for The Mitchell
Dairy said today that no plans
are being made for a hike in
the price of milk at this time,
even though the general trend
seems in that direction.
W. H. Herndon, manager of The
Mitchell Dairy at Newberry, said
‘our prices haven’t gone up yet,
land we don’t expect to increase
the price of our milk at this time.
It doesn't seem to us to be the
; proper time for an increase, and
the prices will remain the same
as they now stand, both at the
store and for delivery to the
home.'
Mr. Blake, of Newberry Dairy
Incorporated, stated that they are
not announcing an increase in
i prices at this time. “However,”
he continued, the general trend
is in that direction, and because
of the high costs of feed, an in
crease may be inevitable.”
