HOLT DISCUSSES DAIRY TROUBLES OF PRESENT DAY Sees Low Purchasing Power of Public and Record in Production "Troubles of the dairy industry were attributed to unemployment and decreased purchasing power of the bulk ol the population as well as to increased production," said Budd A. Holt, assistant director of the division of marketing of the AAA, Thursday when approximately 3,000 persons attended the annual meeting of the Iowa Slate Brand Creameries, in Mason City. "Dairy production during the 1938-39 season was the largest on record," Mr.

Holt asserted, resulting in creamery butter production of 151,000,000 pounds more than five year average. Purchasing Power Low "The trouble with the demand situation," he continued, "is the 11,000,000 or so unemployed and the relatively low earnings of the remainder of the population today compared with the pre-depression period." The federal official outlined the AAA program of aid to the dairy industry under which 106,000,000 pounds butter were purchased from July 1, 1938, to June 16, 1939, for relief distribution by the federal surplus commodities corporation. In addition, he said, the dairy products marketing association held 34,000,000 pounds of butter in storage under loans on June 16 and since then an additional Mason City Woman Elected Leader of Colored Group Mrs. J.

3 at the P. G. and E. auditorium Wednesday evening. President Charles Groman said he went to the convention with a bit of skepticism, but that he was amazed with is being accomplished.

Distribution Increased "The rate of distribution in relief channels was increased last fall," Mr. Holt revealed, "and in recent months has been about 12 or 13 millions pounds a month." "A new loan program is now under consideration for the 15)3940 season," he assured his listeners, "with the general provisions substantially similar to last season's program. However, the loan rales or purchase prices under the program would depend upon developments in current and prospective production, demand and price conditions and the advisable extent of activities under the program.

"For one thing, it is felt advisable that the volume stored under loans be more or less limited to the quantity needed- for relief purposes and for which funds will be available for such purpose." 522,500.000 tinilt Not more than about $22,500,000 can be used for purchases of dairy products for relief purchases during the 1939-40 fiscal year, according to the terms of the present law, he explained, but called attention to a proposal now before congress which would appropriate an additional 5113,000,000, part of which would be available for relief purchases. The solution of the problems facing'the dairy industry necessitate continued and expanded group action and co-operation I within the industry, he asserted. Since the problems have resulted from forces beyond the control of the dairy industry congress has been exceedingly liberal with funds as well as other means of assistance, he pointed out. Cannot Expect Losses Dairymen cannot be expected to continue production at a loss in order (o feed those without purchasing power, he summarized. The delegates, resolved to concentrate their efforts on opening the barriers to the colored youth.

The members also voted to stage a music and dramatic contest for the junior department. Seven of the attending delegates indicated that they will represent Iowa at the national convention in Boston, and be present at the world's fair on Colored Women's day.

think without confusion clearly To love your fellowman sincerely To act from honest motives purely To trust in God and heaven securely." In asking the graduates to think clearly, he showed the necessity of recognizing the danger of becoming enslaved by machines rather than making machines the servants. Think Clearly "I ask that in dealing with disease and the flesh that you do not lose sight of the soul. These beings are created by God Almighty. In this age of mechanism and skepticism you must think without confusion clearly. "Love your fellowman sincerely.

There are two commandments which tell you to love thy God and to -love thy neighbor. If you will do this, you will find that love excludes all the trouble of the world. Do good to your enemies and do acts of kindness at all times. Blust Have Character "There was a time when man's word was as good as his bond. Honesty is what he wills to be.

Character is what you are and reputation is what others think you are. You may have a good reputation and yet not have character. To act from honest motives purely you must have character." Father La Valette, closed his talk with a plea for the last line of the trust in God and heaven securely." "America is blessed with material prosperity, yet 70,000,000 have no church affiliations. We spend $13,000,000,000 a year on crime and criminals. We have not instilled in the hearts of men the will to resist.

Are Guide Marks "The ten commandments are danger signals, not a yoke to bind us into submission or slavery They are to guide us and mark the dangerous spots in life.
