52,75 Adults $2.00 Children By ROBERT L. SAWYER Would you believe that the only thing that really "hues" 86- year-old Joseph 'Dewhirst as he celebrates his G9th year as'the operator of the Dewhirst dairy is he transition from milk .0 throw-away cartons? It's true. Even the fact that he recovering from a broken leg le received last August in an auto accident doen't annoy him as much as pouring milk from a paper carton. While he admits the dairy at 2500 Madison avenue, which distributes 22,000 quarts of milk daily is running "super smoothly" under direction of his son, Joseph Dewhirst, his consultant, and his manager, Thomas Schiappa, of Trumbull, the, sight of those milk cartons coming down the assembly line in his frequent visits to fhe dairy still "turns him off." "I suppose the many changes demanded by economy made the switch to cartons inevitable," said Mr. Dewhirst, bottled milk is still a bifof Americana I hated to see disappear even though it che expensive operation of bottle washing." He said that in 1932, dairy operators were colled to Hartford to discuss the possibility of changing from bottles to cartons; and despite the fact that out that cartons would cost his customers between 52,000 and $3,000 more in a three month period than the bottles and other dairy owners showed the same cost increases the cartons still "took over." With his moving around sharply reduced by his broken leg, KUNKEL'S Restaurant 1282 NORTH A BPT.

Scl.ir, Qlr 688-6091 Admiltion $3.00 Mr. Dcw.hirs't has much time to reminisce about his 69 years in the milk business span which makes his dairy Ihe oldcsl in this area, if not in Con' necticut. A City Park commissioner for the past 38 years and still active on (he Park hoard, Mr. Dewhirst recalls borrowing $300 to start a rnilk route from the Madison avenue address in 1006. With i horse and.

buggy, he accumulate! $0 customers ami after he weeded but the ones who nevei paid their milk bills he launched his career the milk business with 60 customers. At that time he was buying milk from a dairy farmer For three to three and a half cents a quart. He said he still remembers what a cow looks like and even had a few tit his Madison avenue dairy back in 1320 but he has never been a dairy farmer, having always milk in tank trucks from loj dairies to process and distribute from his dairy. Mr. Dewhirst said his business today consists mainly, of dis tributing milk wholesale to shop ping centers, He said ho gave up route deliveries some time ago but Dewhirst milk is still delivered.on routes throughou the city by sub-dealers who pick up milk, eggs, cheese and other dairy nroducts daily at tlje While operating one of the State's most successful dairy operations, Mr.

1 Dewhirst has distinguished himself in many other civic and charitable en In 1355, as Park com missioner, he was one of Ihe most persistent advocates building a Zoo in Beardslej park, which is now Beardstej Zoological Gardens enjoyet by thousands of area people an nually; In his years as missioncr, be has been strumental En innumerable Park projects and improvements and as a senior commissioner, he lias something to say about the city's park program, too. 'The changing times have been insidiously harmful to the Park City," said Mr. Dewhirst sadly. "The city used to be fa mous for its parks and the free- SURFS1DE FRI. SftT.

In the not-too-distant future, there will be fences around nil of our parklands and probably, fees to enjoy them." "I suppose the fencing and fees are defensive and necessary," he said, "but anyone who remembers how much people enjoyed our parks and beaches without cost and without the need for countless restrictions, and weird traffic patterns and 1 regulations, must be saddened a a happened in recent years." One of his most charitable endeavors and there were many of them over the years was his donation to the public of a large pond in (he rear of the clairyj he dug out i a team of horses and which stncc has been a popular ice skating pond every winter since 1903. In many of the years, the pond was leased by the City for SI a year and was a City-operated recreation area. In some instances, Mr. Dewhirst, in Jns role of a Park commissioner, wasn't too diplomatic in opposing any idea which would deprive the City of any of its parkland.

His rebuttal, "aver my dead body" to proposal that a community college be located at Pleasure beach, an example of Jiow defensive he could be when a proposal threatened to eliminate public park area. And his life was not without disappointments. In Nov. 1361, a fire gutted a large storage building behind his dairy and wiped out IhrcR trucks and threatened 25 others. It also destroyed thousands of cardboard milk containers which he admits "didn't bother him a bit," In 3968 the City of Bridgeport, in its re-development of Cannon street, pulled the Dewhirst building and the $25,000 net profit it gave him annually -out from under him, and paid him $128,000 for the building, which had on the first fJoor and offices on the upper floors one of which was Mr.

Dewhirst's office. Mr. Dewhirst ho was given only despite the fiicf. (hat the building's value was placed realistically at- His litigation over the matter is still in the courts, he said. Although Mr.

Dewhirst is known to Bridgeportcrs for many tilings, he is probably best known in recent years as the man who is seen riding his saddle horse through Ihe North End. fn April, 1973, "Patches," the liorse he had ridden and had grazed on the dairy properly many years died at the age of 31 and is now buried on the dairy property. But Mr, Dewhirst wasn't horseless for long. In December, 1973, he purchased "Goldy," a stallion, and resumed his fre- cjuent daily rides. Mr, Dewhirst said that, because his injured leg has not completely healed, he is spending more time in his house, which js located in.

front of the dairy, than he ever did; but pre- didctcd that it won't be long before he is "riding the trails" agnin on "Goldy, 1 He retired from actively operating the dairy 25 years ago and, at 86, he is enjoying his retirement, and he would be enjoying it even more if it wasn't for those "stupid milk cartons."
