to pay two cents more a quart for this most important food this is not an in crease by your local dairy as a matter of strict fact it is not an in crease in the true sense of the word neither your dairy nor any far mer who produces milk will benefit in the slightest degree think back to december 1 942 before that you were paying two cents a quart more for milk than the price you have become ac customed to in wartime years milk loomed large in the wartime fa mily food budget and to keep the cost of living down the government decided to subsidize milk sales during the past three years the government has actually paid two cents on every quart of milk purchased by consumers m canada every cent of this subsidy was passed along to consumers by your dairy not a fraction was retained for the very considerable amount of work it entailed there was a flat two cent price reduction on every quart bottle sold now the government has decided to discontinue the consumers milk subsidy effective june 1 your dairy is not increasing the price as a result the increase which you must pay will not mean a cant more to either your dairy or to farmers you are being bea npon to pay die two cents instead of the government paying it for you georgetown di mple
