Clough, milk markets administrator, announced yesterday. This increase is believed due In part to better deliveries and chool SRHsiona on a larger num ber of days. Ciough said producers will receive a uniform price of $3.53 per 100 pounds (47 quarts) for all milk delivered during January.

This is the same amount they received for December milk and is two cents below the January 1944 price. Clough was of the opinion that a storm which curtailed deliveries on the last day of January may have reduced the uniform price by a cent or two. Production in the marketing area increased Z.Z per cent over December and 3 per cent over January 1944. A year ago January production increased 6.2 per cent over December. Class 1, or fresh fluid milk, sales in January increased 3.5 over December and 2 per cent over January 1944.

The uniform price is paid for milk testing 3.5 per cent butterfat. with a plus or.miniMt differential of 4 6 cents for each tenth of one per cent more or lea butterfat. As the average test for all milk de livered was 3.91 per cent butterfat, this means that producers will re ceive an average of about 18V4 cents above the uniform price. N.

BRING WORRY TO OFFICIALS Preparation Made Against Flood Dangers Brisk snow flurries harried by an easterly wind added to the city's record snow stockpile and brought new worries to storm-jittery offi cials yesterday.

He knows ell the bridges of Manila, all the fortifications and harbors with odd names mentioned in the news dis patches. Before the last war he served in the Navy in the Philippines and served on destroyers in World War I. "It breaks my heart to think of the destruciton in Manila," he said yesterday.

It's a wonderful city, particularly the old walled city, which can never be repluced." Studley tried to get back in the fight after World War II broke out but the Navy Couldn't take him. He then went into the medal business, one that had always been his hobby. Now he's filling from 25 to 35 orders a day. He has been! supplying MacArthur for three years. The general, his most illustrious client, never liked the rigid brs such as many Army men use for their ribbons.

He wanted his decorations made so they would flex with the cloth of his suit. Studley filled the bill. Avon Man Makes New Ribbons for M'Arthur ROGERS-PEET tailor these grand overcoats. For more than fifty years McFarlin's have been selling them to men accustomed to finer quality. The "Scotch Mist" fabric resists cold, wind, rain and wear.

This time the ribbons will arrive as a surprise a victory gift for the liberator of Manila from a one time member of the armed forces in the Philippines, George W. Stud- ley of Avon. The ribbons are all sewed on a cloth patch, the way the general likes to have them mounted, and the reason that the patch is bigger than any before is because of the Philippine Liberation Ribbon.

The reason it's brighter is because of the additional stars for major exploits in the Asiatic theater.
