He claims that under the agreement with the prcducers the distributors are forced take all the milk that is offered to them.

The prices of milk for July will be fixed by the Federal Milk Commission on June 2oth. Distributors say they look for an increase, but that there will be no change in the retail price of milk. It is said to cost less to produce milk at this time of the year because the cows are in pasture.

RlasrmaD loo often between institutions and ludlviduals, and the Injustice which such misunderstanding may wurk, were forcibly illustrated by an incident unearthed in the recent War jL'hest drive. Campaigners visiting one or Rochester's Important manufacturing establishments encountered a surprising opposition to the participation of the local hospitals in ibe community fund. Upon investigation they found this attitude to be traceable, in large part, to a story of alleged mistreatment at the General Hospital told by one of its employees, Charles F.

Wright, No. 17a Jefferson avenue. Accident Affects Campaign. On the morning of May 21st, Mr. Wr.gbt's 2-year-old daughter, Mildred, while playing iu the street before her home, was run over by an automobile and badly injured.

Without waiting to notify even her parents, who did not happen to be on the scene, the driver of the automobile picked her up and with the aid of nother man, who carried the child in his urtuc, rushed her to the General Hospital, lier parents following at later intervals. At the hospital the child's case, as Tiewed by the hospital authorities, followed the usual prompt and thorough nurse of procedure attendant upon accident cases. As viewed by the parents, however, in the lisht of misunderstand'-ng and misinformation for which they were not responsible, a chain of unfortunate circumstances made the hospital appear in Anything but a favorable litrht. When the Inquiries of the War Client wilii'tfirs made it apparent to the hospital authorities thnt tire Wriirht case had considerable publicity and that the hospital had ben badly mis-rpprpsented. it seemed advisable to them in a thorough investisrntion with vipw of revealing the facts the case and Iparinsr all misundprst.mdinirs to the sativ- Elizabeth A.
