American Dairy Princess, 6 First Lady 9 of Industry Whoever is selected as the American Dairy Princess is qualified to rule as the “first lady” of the dairy industry. She knows the dairy industry for her father is a dairy far mer. She knows about milk — from milking a cow to using milk and other dairy foods in nutritious recipes. When she is called to the purple to rep resent the dairy farmer mem bers of the American Dairy Association, she is ready to rule for she has been tutored all her life. In addition to living on a dairy farm, she has probably participated in 4-H programs and has shown dairy cattle throughout the country. She is probably a home economics major in college and has studied nutrition and the im portance of milk and dairy products in a balanced diet. She knows how to “speak up for milk” for she has partici pated in food demonstrations and state princess contests. In addition to beauty, poise, intelligence and the ability to communicate effectively, the Princess is a refreshing “change of pace” in a time of publicity contests. She knows her job and she does it well. She calls atten tion to the importance of milk and dairy products for good nutrition from coast to coast in her appearances on network television and radio. She “earns” editorial space in syndicated columns and food editors’ columns with her newsworthy comments. Her attractive appearance epito mizes the product she repre sents. And with her ability to personalize her messages, she is an effective communicator to many publics. Thousands of qualified young ladies will compete in state contests for the privilege of competing for the national Princess crown. The state winners will take part in the 12th Annual Amer ican Dairy Princess Contest, June 21-24. The current Princess, 19 year old Florida State Univer sity Junior, Susanne Bradford of Tallahassee, will crown her successor on June 24 at the coronation ceremony in Chi cago. The new Princess, who be comes an employee of Ameri can Dairy Association, will reign for 1966-67. Truly a Prin cess and a perfect spokesman for milk — nature’s most near ly perfect food. Most of the fluid milk sold today is homogenize Cow Proves Most Popular Animal In Miami’s Zoo City people, including high- rise dwellers, enjoy the charm of a farm in the city zoo. And the most popular ten ant of the zoo is not an angry looking gorilla, but a meek ap pearing cow. In' Miami, Fla., columnist Larry Thompson ran a “Why We Need a Cow in the Zoo” contest. More than 550 readers re sponded immediately. And, if you think money was the in centive, $15 was the first prize. Evidently, the main reason so many Miamians replied was their earnest desire to have a cow in the Crandon Park Zoo. DID YOU KNOW? ... That the dairy cow has been working an eight hour day for years? She grazes for four hours, averaging 40-70 nibbles every minute. The next four hours are spent chewing her cud with her jaws and four stomachs working every min ute. After milking, she sleeps all night, resting her jaws for tomorrow’s eight hour work day. More than 100 food elements are found in milk. A quart of milk provides 82% of the day’s needs of calcium, 63% of the phosphorus, 40% of protein, 83% of riboflavin, 30% of vita min A, 21% of calories, 22% of thiamine. In spite of being used and abused by the human race, the cow continues to provide man with life itself. No wonder cows are in de mand for zoos in city parks. Parks are pieces of America and the cow is America Itself. Food Intake Off By 200 Pounds In Fifty Years Annual food consumption per person now is 200 pounds less than it was 50 years ago according to USDA’s “The Farm Index.” A good share of this decline results from the additional processing that takes place before the consumer buys the food. Consumption is measured in pounds sold at retail, so the additional processing which has removed more waste gives a figure closer to actual con sumption now. According to the article, “We‘re averaging an estimated 400 fewer calories daily. We’re eating somewhat less and we’ve changed the kinds of food we eat. “For example, consumption of meat, poultry, and fish is up; bulky, starchy foods have lost ground.” School Children Consume Milk, Ice Cream Most During the 1962-3 school year, about $12 of milk and milk products, exclusive of butter, were consumed per pu pil enrolled in schools serving food. Of this sum, about $10 represents fresh fluid milk and almost one dollar represents ice cream. About 80c worth of cheese, mostly processed, was con sumed per student during the year and about $1.90 worth of butter per capita. (realization does not change the flavor or the essen tial and nutritive value and goodness of milk. * * * f > Hippocrates, the father of medicine, first called milk the most nearly perfect food. ... and CONGRATULATE -the- NEWBERRY COUNTY DAIRY INDUSTRY ... and the Newberry County Farm Bu reau which is promoting this important part of our county’s economy.
