PLAINDKALEh WANT ADS Junior Red Cr*» m«mlxn of McHenry county 4re doing more than just talking about the state of the world today. These boys and girls, just starting a new membership enrollment campaign, are putting words into action to create better understanding between McHenry county and the rest of the world. Mrs. Ruth Jacobs, junior Red Cross chairman of the McHenry county chapter, said "that Junior members of the Red Crosa here have been making real contributions to the community and the world. They have produced thousands of articles for the comfort and pleasure of patients hi military, veteran and local civilian hospitals, filled gift boxes to be sent to children overseas, learned first aid and water safety sKills that can help them Save lives, and carried on correspondence with youngsters in foreign countries to sbuild up international good will." Boys fluid girls ftam each., of the schopls in this area taking part in the junior Red Cross program work with school authorities and the chapter to run the local program. Under their direction, members from the first grade through high school age are learning to be good citizens They produce anything from portfolios and checkerboards to cloth stuffed toys for Downey hospital and other institutions. They pack gift boxes of school supplies to be sent to less fortunate school children in other countries, and receive in .exchange letters from Greece, Turkey, Germany, tlapan and Sweden. , They are planning t.i exchange albums showing how we live with children in schools both in the United States and overseas. They hope to take part in international art and music programs. In addition, senior high sehool members are offered courses in home nursing, learning to take care of those at home who may be ilj. Classes last year were conducted by Mrs. Gertrude Sayler in Woodstock Community high school and Mrs. Joanne Rulien in McHenry. The success of this program depends upon schools of MdHenry county, rural and city, protestant, parochial and private. FaflJUK* Stock!, present Billion Gallon Lactic Laki Tour government bought more dairy products for price support this year than ever before. Th*M purchases have built up record storage stocks that dim the dtfiry outlook for 1954. From January through September, USD A purchases for price support were equal to 9.6 billion pounds of milk. These purchases were 2% times as great as in 1950. the previous record year. The buy this year was equal to % of all price support purchases in the preceding twenty, years. By the end of August, total storage stocks of dairy products were equivalent to 12, billion pounds of whole milk. Sales from private and government supplies may reduce this total to near 8.6 billion pounds (1 billion gallons) whole milk f equivalent by the end of this year. This would be 3 to 4 billion more than the carry-over at the beginning of the year. While price support purchases this year greatly exceeded any previous operations, the milk "surplus" is not so large as it may aeem to b#. aro Loqk *t it tjlta way:* Total mtyk procure for this year "will he "8 billion pounds.

These purcheses are equi.*l to 1% pounds of, cheese per person, 2 pounds^ of butter and 3 pounds of dry skimmllk. Farmers will pocket some 4.2 billion dollars from the sale of dairy products this . year. This amount is down about 8 per cent from the record high of 4.6 billion dollars received last year. USD A forecasts that cash receipts will decline a little more in 1654. Diairymen who buy feed have had the benefit of some cost reductions this year. However, these cojt reductions have not been enough to offset the decline in miHjr checks. Looking /ahead, the dairyman can see plenty of problems* Some of his products are being priced out of the naarket. Competition from vegetable oils is increasing. Rising costs of distribution cut the farmer's share of the consumer's dairy dollar.
