Appalachian Hi
School Hews
The last two games have seen Ap
palachian'* Blue Devils go down
fighting before Walkertown's strong
quintet and tne College "B" team.
On Jan. 11 th? local five came back
strong in the last half but the rally
was not quite enough to offset
Vaughn's shooting for the visitors.
The final score was 40-31 with
Vaughn of Walkertown garnering 21
points. High man for Appalachian
was Ralph Hodges with 9 points.
Following close on Hodges' ' heels
was David Edmisten with 8 points.
The next night the same boys took
on the College "B" team again and
after leading the college squad most
of the way dropped the game by the
close margin of two points. It was
a hard-fought scrap from start to
finish, and the high school five ex
hibited a well-balanced attack that
kept the boys rocking up tallies in
.the pinches. A costly foul in the
last minute of play let the college
squad tie up the score at 25 all ?
while a few seconds later they
made the winning marker. Starters
were Edmisten, Clay, Greene, Ald
ridge and Hodges, while York, N or
ris and Calloway saw action later.

New Job for Dairy Farmers in
1946-Help Broaden Markets
Tie dairy industry has squared
away to another big job, not
even pausing to pat itself on the
back for the record breaking milk
production in 1945.
In this brand New Year of 1946,
this new job is to reach even higher
standards of quality and to get even
more milk and more milk products
into the daily diet of more people.
In 1941, Americans consumed an
average of slightly more than six
pounds of cheese each year. During
the war, consumption dropped to
around four pounds, due to demand
by 'the armed forces and for lend
lease. The joB the industry has set
for itself is not only to get back
to that level but to go beyond it, to
eight pounds or more per person.
We need to do thia for some
very Important reason*. First,
the consumer needs more cheese
and other dairy product* to get
the great benefits of theae best
of all foods. Second, we need to
build a greater market for milk
from American farms . . . from
your farm and your neighbor's
farm.
Just take a look at what an extra
two pounds of cheese would mean.
It figures up to a total of about
280,000,000 pounds more cheese per
year and that means a market for
two and a half btllion pounds more
milk just to provide that increase in
one dairy product.
The way to get it done is to produce
high quality products, backed by a
nationwide program of Helling and
promotion A big help also in making
markets for more milk will be new
products such as ice cream mixes,
powdered whole milt and new varieties
of cheese. Kraft will have these and
other item ready for the consumer.
That little word "quality" will
be a big factor in getting thia
Job done. The quality program
starts on your farm. You caui't
make a silk purse out of a sow's
ear, nor can you make high (trade
dairy products out of poor milk.
Your part of the program starts
inyour bam and in your herd. Right
here at the beginning of this new year
I want to review, in a few words,
the things which make up a sanita
tion program on a dairy farm.
Clean barns, clean cows, clean
utensils and clean workers; prompt
and proper cooling; correct milking
? these are the primary parts of
your program to produce the kind
of dairy product the consumer is
g~~~ ? J J
Keeping ceilings, rafters, side
walls, mangers, stanchions
and barn floors clean is vital.
Brushing cows, clipping flanks
and udders, washing udders
with warm water are the impor
tant steps In animal cleanliness.
I imagine you have on hand some
extension bulletins which tell the
proper steps in clean milk produc
tion. If not see your county agent.
And be sure and study the
articles on the proper handling
of milk In the November- Decem
ber issue of the K. raftsman. If you
do not receive It regularly, write
me at Mt Peshtigo, Chicago 9t,
III., and I'll send you a free copy.
*These practices are all matters of
habit ? getting started on a system
of work and following through every
day at each milking. Once you have
set up this program you'll And it
easy to follow. And you'll know
you've done your part in the nation
wide. long range program of building
this great industry to new high levels.
All of us learned how working
together during a war can bring
miracles of production. The dairy
industry, from farm to distributor,
can show the rest of the business
world how working together can
accomplish still greater goals in

Sands Home Club
Holds Monthly Meet
The Sands Home Demonstration
Club met Friday, Jan. 11, at the
home of Mrs. Joe Norris, with Mrs.
Stanford Storie as joint hostess.
In the absence of both the presi
dent and vice-president, a very
brief business session was held. The
members arrived in the forenoon for
an all-day meeting, which consisted
of an old-fashioned quilting.
At noon the group gathered
around the dining table, abundant
ly laden with old-fashioned foods.
Following the dinner, the group
again gathered around the quilt, and
an informal discussion was held.
A number of topics were discussed,
but the most important was that
concerning the clothing drive. It
was decided that each member of
the club was to find as many gar
ments as possible, and take to the
home of Mrs. Jim Hodges, where it
is to be packed and delivered to the
proper place. The box must be
ready for delivery by the last of the
month. Each member was urged to
go full length in this drive, as the
need is so great. For years the peo
ple of the Sands community have
been outstanding for their generosi
ty and their willingness to help
those in distress, so it is felt that
the box will be filled to capacity.
The club was honored to have as
its guest during the afternoon, Mrs.
J. H. Jones.
Jn. the late afternoon, the quilt, a
lovely bow-tie design, was com
pleted and taken from the frame.
The next meeting will be held
with Mrs. Glenn Brown at her home
on Feb. 8. At this meeting, the
members plan to fete Mrs. Ed Clay
with a miscellaneous bridal shower.

National Income
Estimate Raised
To 140 Billions
Washington, Jan*? Thriving busi
ness and many jobs during recon
version have led government econo
mists to hike sharply their estimates
of the 1946 aational income.
Even in the face of mounting la
bor difficulties, the consensus among
federal agencies now is that the fig
ure will run between $140,000,000,
000 and $150,000,000,000.
This would mean a drop from
1945's booming $160,000,000,000 only
about half as severe as had been
estimated officially after V-J day.
At that time economists felt the
first full year of peace would pro
duce only about $130,000,000,000 of
national income. They reasoned that
civilian demand and private pro
duction would be unable at once to
take up much of the slack left by
the big slash in government war
spending.
The new figures mean larger busi
