Points In outlining the alternatives, Yenchesky noted the fate of not being able to support a senior high is and has become evident to many people, and would advance discussion for dation with Brillion or Chilton. If there is a sincere interest on the part of one of these adjacent communities, reorganization, could be realized for the coming school year, he said.

Improvement Measure Advanced Popularity of County Wide Library Service Reviewed MANITOWOC A proposal! which would improve public library service without increasing property taxes has been endorsed unanimously by the County Library Committee.

"The Manitowoc County Library System, whose services are now available to some 80,000 people, would qualify for state aid under Bill 47," Mrs. Kelly said.

It is also most desirable educationally and economically that future plans be established before Hilbert would have to undertake a building program, Yenchesky continued.

Most Favorable Ivan Novak, board clerk, said going to Brillion is most favorable because "it's a small district like making it more compatible, and "Brillion has expansion thoughts now. The competiveness is great and the children would have so much to gain, and they are both in the same conference," he added. If reorganization with Brillion was accepted, total enrollment would be about 600. Novak also noted that going to Chilton would mean going to a bigger district and a different conference. In other action, a meeting will be requested with CESA at 8 p.m.

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (AP) The nation's dairy farmers should sell their milk under a single federal milk, marketing order rather "nearly 50 federal orders," the National Farmers Union president said Monday. Tony Dechant, addressing 40th annual convention of the Wisconsin Farmers Union, said the current pattern of priceregulating orders works to the disadvantage of dairymen in many Midwestern states. Dechant called for a single market price for Grade A milk which farmers sell to dairies, regardless of whether the milk is to be bottled or converted to ice cream and cheese. Milk destined for manufactured products is sold at lower prices, despite its actual grade.

Secretary of Agriculture Clifford Hardin has been asked "for a meeting to explore the possibilities of one federal order for all," Dechant said. Dairymen in the Far West are sure to object, he said. But Midwestern dairy farmers are traditionally required to bear the economic impact of a milk surplus, yet supply extra milk when other regions run short. he said. "If we are going to have unity among dairy farmers" in their quests for better prices, he said, "we must start with equity.

We can't have one group stuck with the low prices and surplus." farmers who produce Grade A milk should share in the Grade A price," he told 400 delegates.
