"The statement said, 'We were appalled when we first learned of President Nixon's plan to visit Communist China. The John Birch society feels that the United States govern­ ment should not fraternize with a criminal government that murdered between thirty-four and sixty-three million Chinese citizens to consolidate its power. To treat these bar­ barians as a legitimate government, to have the President of the United States meet with them as equals, and to accept them as rulers of the Chinese people, is a betrayal of all that the United States represents.' "Westerfield continued, 'One of the scenes in the ballet, at­ tended by the Nixons, depicted the Red army practicing marksmanship; and their target was a caricature of General Chiang Kai-Shek. It is shocking and disgraceful that the President of the United States would attend and ap­ plaud this type of program. It is little wonder that the pro- Communist forces within the United Nations felt confident that the Government of Free China could be ousted and denigrated, while the Com­ munists could be admitted and given prestige.' " 'Sparked by members of the John Birch society,' Westerfield said, 'hundreds of thousands of Americans protested President Nixon's trip. His visit to Communist China humiliated the American people and betrayed our anti- Communist allies.' "Mrs. Dorothy Himpelmann "Chapter I^eader, McHenry "The John Birch Society ' Dairy Farmer Smiles, But With Reserve Dairy farmers are able to 1 smile a little, but their satisfaction with the price they receive for milk is tempered by the ever-tightening pinch imposed on them by raising costs of the things they buy, George Rasmussen, president/ of the Woodstock Progressives, summarized following the farmer cooperative's annual meeting. Rasmussen said the pressure of higher costs for machinery, feed and help - when a farmer can fine it - is tempering the satisfaction with a better price for milk. The 30-year-old Woodstock Progressive Milk Product' association's membership is averaging daily production of 1,400 pounds of milk daily and, adds Elwood Howell, manager, "we're marketing the most milk in the history of the organization. Members produced 90 million pounds of milk last year!! Directors reelected include Carl Peterson, Harvard, David Frohling, Whitewater, Wis., and Alan Swanson, Woodstock. Other directors'include Robert Peterson, Hebron; Gordon Lohmeyer, Robert Gerloff and George Rasmussen, all of Woodstock. Following the annual meeting, Harvard directors met and reelected officers: George Rasmussen, president; Carl Peterson, vice-president; and Robert Gerloff, secretary- treasurer. Elwood Howell was re-named manager and John Emery was renamed fieldman. Howell said he notices an increasing number of members in southern Wisconsin, marking the organization's expansion as the milkshed gradually moves northwest from Chicagoland. PAGE 3-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. MARCH 17, 1972 Proclamation Born in war and raised in adversity, the American Red Cross has evolved many traditions in its universal quest to ease human suffering, but none have served it so durably as its tradition of flexibility. Since well before the turn of the 20th century, through times that tested the very soul of our humanitarian instincts, the Red Cross has proven equal to the challenges of each era with unfailing resourcefulness, zeal and compassion. Red Cross programs and services we have long taken for granted - from disaster relief and blood banks to nurse training and aid to military personnel - grew out of its pioneering approach in meeting generations of un­ precedented crises. This tradition has carried forward into the 1970's with undiminished vigor... And as a member of the global society, the Red Cross continues to fulfill its in­ ternational enterprise of mercy, but again with a flexibility that makes its mission as vital and viable as at anytime in its history. Now, Therefore, I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America and honorary chairman of the American National Red Cross, do hereby designate March, 1972, as Red Cross month, a month when every citizen is asked to join, serve and con­ tribute in the same example of unselfish spirit that has characterized the Red Cross since its founding. * In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-two, and of the In­ dependence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-sixth.
