PRODUCERS TO VOTE ON INDIANA MILK MARKETING ORDER The U. S. Department of Agriculture said today it will conduct a mail referendum at an early date in Indiana to find out if dairy farmers approve expanding and otherwise amending the federal milk marketing order for South Bend-LaPorte-Elk-fiart. The expanded order would be called the Northwestern Indiana order. Agricultural Marketing Service officials said that dairy farmers who would have been producers under the proposed expanded order during August 1964 will be eligible to vote. Other details of the referendum will be an- : nounced soon by Market Administra- ■ tor Richard J. Connolly. 1 Provisions of the final decision fav- ' oring the amendments if adopted would add the five* other Indiana counties of Kosciusko. Lake, Mar* [shall, Porter,-and Starke to the three counties of Elkhart. LaPorte, and St . Joseph now covered by the order. | Today’s decision favors replacing the supply-demand adjustor now used to compute the bottling milk I price unsJer the order with the sup-’ I ply-demand adjustor used under the Chicago milk order. At the same" I time 10 cents Would be . ddtxi to the i differential used in figurm? the South Bend price to help offset decreases ! that may be due to adopting the Chicago supply-demand adjustor. It is also recommended that all | milk sold for manufacturing uses i be priced at the level of the Minne- | sota-Wisconsin price series, and designated as Class 11. In effect, this would combine the present Classes II and 111. Other proposed changes would ex’pand the present base pricing area i where no location adjustments are ' made in prices, and would slightly ■ reduce differentials used for adjusting the price of milk because of its varying butterfat content. Today’s final decision is based on evidence presented at a public hearing in South Bend on May 7 and 8, 1963. and exceptions to the USDA recommended decision announced May 16, 1964, received from producers and handlers. Copies of today’s decision may be obtained from Market Administrator Richard J. Connolly, P. O. Box 216. South Bend. Ind., 46624, or from the Milk Marketing Orders Division, Agricultural Marketing Service.. U. S. Department of Agriculture. Washington, D. CL, 20*250. Mrs. S. F. Betes of Lake Wawasee accompanied her daughter, Mrs. ‘ William Pipp of Syracuse, to Chicago Saturday for a day of shopping.

Meaning Os Christinas By JOHN BAKER The biggest question today is: Are we commemorating the birth of Christ or Santa Claus? It would appear from observation that there is a grave doubt as to the correct answer. Let us not be dismayed, however. Let me take you to a little home in a typical small town. At the end of the street flanked by stately old elms we come to a little white cottage nestling under two huge shade trees. The walk was swept clean. Ex erything was so spotless that I glanced at my boots to see how much snow I had accumulated. Well, I knocked on the door. A little old lady came to the door, pulling a shawl about her shoulders as she did so. “Come right in”, she said opening the door a little wider. I went in and sat down in the kitchen beside the old range stove. She was the type of person who reminded you of your own mother who had been gone 10, these many years. . . You know there is at least erne

Well, this motherly old lady was it. “So you wonder what I think about the meaning of Christmas”, she said. “God has been good to me, I was bom into this world a sinner. We are all sinners until saved by God’s only begotten son whose birthday we celebrate at Christmas”. She paused a moment before speaking again. “We are all given a second chance by the death and resurrection of Jesus”. Tb.en she quoted You all know the familiar verse. For God so loved the world. That He have His only begotten son, That whosoever bdieveth in Him, Should not perish. But have everlasting life. "There you have it, and may God bless you”, she said smiling as I rose to depart. I felt as if a benediction had been pronounced as I left the simple little house. Sylvia and Joan Karesh, students at Indiana university, spent the holiday vacation with their parents Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Karesh, Syracuse.
