On the morning program President Gerhard H. Ekhoff recalled that "seventeen years ago we had just a vision of what kind of organization the Chicago milk shed needed, and Since then we have built one of the finest milk marketing organizations in the country to do this job." Tirs rationing may revolutionize milk distribution in Chicago, Mr. Ekhoff said, I Birthday Celebrat^ ;, Several relatives enjoyed a dinner at the Robert Knox ""Rome south of town last Thursday evening in honor of Mr. Knox's birthday.

Keep on wanting to know -- don't ever start to take things for granted." A state-of-the'-co-operative report by general manager Arthur H. Lauterbach opened the afternoon session. Reporting in detail on the activities of Pure Milk association's sales department during 1941, he emphasized its flexibility in shifting milk where needed to provide exceptional service for the organization's eighty-eight regular Chicago buyers. Excess milk, he explained, is diverted from plants nearest to manufacturing outlets and fluid milk and cream sales kept in the inner shed as much as possible to keep transportation costs at a minimum and give producers maximum returns for their excess milk. All suburban markets of the association are, said Lauterbach, now on a flexible price plan and are carrying their own excess milk through pool plans on their own market adjustment funds.

E. Houghtby re-! "J*16. fe T al seriousness of this ported the best year in association Problem, said Lauterbach, "will come history--in net benefits to members,. | when we find that our. farmers have both from the angle of service and of cut <*own production due to shortage net financial returns for their milk. The organization's net worth of $747,418. as of Dec. 31, 1941 reflected, he said, careful planning by directors and management. C. M. Cosgrove, secretary of Pure Milk, reported that members received seven and a half million dollars more for their milk in 1941 than during 1940. Last year PMA marketed 1,394,129,580 pounds of milk for a net return to producers of $29,631,- 981.83 or an average price of $2,125 per cwt. net for 3.64% milk after deduction of PMA marketing fees. Federal Milk Market Administrator Colebank outlined briefly the hamflea taken during the last niae years by the government in its program of regulating fluid milk, and pointed out the consequence that "the responsibility of producers of co-operatives> send of all other interested persons is clearer and more important today than ever before in the Federal milk regulation program." Geyer at Meeting Back for a "hello" to PMA members was Don Geyer, PMA manager in the difficult years of the association's beginning. Mir. Geyer is now production manager of the Hood Dairy company, Boston, Mass. The real security, said guest speaker Tom Collins of the Kansas City Journal, lies in keeping alive the spirit of curiosity. "lit is curiosity that makes of labor. We cannot stretch the farmer's hours any more--he is now working as many hours as his health will stand." There is no common ground for labor and farmers in the same organization -- their aims are diametrically opposed, said Lauterbach concerning the reports that the CIO expects to organize three and a half million dairy farmers. "We have seen that tried in Minnesota and North Dakota where labor and farmers formed a political party. Labor outnumbered the farmers, and farmers received the short end of the stick. Labor and farmers should remain in their own field. There are times when labor and farmers can work together, but not when it comes to the question of wages for labor and prices for farm products." Proposed Amendment / At the business session a amendment to the by-laws, to eliminate the association's membership admission fee, was defeated by twothirds of the voting delegates; two other amendments clarifying the intfent and current practices concerning membership expirations and association statements were approved. Delegates unanimously approved those resolutions presented by the resolntions committee which concerned farm help deferment, local daylight saving, farm machinery priority ratings, sanitary import legislation oleomargarine, dairy products promotion, and support of political candidates who are favorable to sound farm legislation. Delegates also approved a recommendation to Congress and to the Surplus Marketing Administration of the USDA that dairy products prices be maintained at not less than 110% of parity. Another resolution urged the government to keep manufactured dairy products for war requirements moving regularly at prices that are fair to producers. More than six hundred wives ot members attended the annual women's luncheon in the College Inn of the Hotel Sherman. The huge V speakers' table at which were seated the "first ladies" of each of PMA's di»- tricte, carried out the inter-organization character of the meeting. Special guests at the luncheon included Mrs. Edwin Ogren, Batavia, director of AAA's ninety-two farmer fieldwomen in Illinois, and Mrs. Gust H.

Dad may miss the rubber tires, but mother is going to miss the rubber stopper in the washbowl, if she doesn't, take care of it and other rubber items around the house, forewarns Home Adviser Clara Greaves Sweeney. Heat, light, oils and greases, arc household enemies of rubber, now a vital war material. The greater the! exposure to heat, the more quickly, rubber weakens, cr&cks* and becomes sticky. Hence, rubber articles have no business near a hoi. stove, the furnace or register. Sunlight combines the harmful action of both heat and light. Thus, gardeners are warned not to leave tha garden hose exposed to |the bright light of day, or rubbers and rubber boots to dry out on. a sunny porch, or near the radiator. n Rubber used in elastic fabrics, such as foundation garments, is more easily damaged by oil awl grease than other kinds of rubber. To the housewife, who knows that faoadatocm gar- I ments are now on the restricted list, this means that frequent washing of these garments is necessary ii the garment is to last a long time. | Copper is another enemy of rubber, and for that reason rubber gloves | should never be worn when copper ' utensils ae being cleaned or when brass cleaning balls are used to clean up sticky pots and. pans. | Warm water and soap will usually remove oil, tar, grease and dirt from a rubber article, and the sooner these are removed the better. Rupper nipples for baby's bottles deserve the same careful attention as other rubber articles^This means that washing the nipples as soon as the baby has used them is important. Butter fat, of course, is like any other grease and will cause the rubber to swell, soften and weaken. | For storage, boots, galoshes and other rubber articles may be stuffed loosely with paper. Hot water bottles should be thoroughly dry before being stored in the boxes in which they came. The attic is the {foorest place to store rubber things--a cool place in the basement, away from furnace heat, is the best. May Safe!
