This column, most certainly
the most outcast of The Press,
might appear this week and It
might not! It it doesn't, no ser
ious complications will arise, no
foreign policy will be changed,
In fact, nothing will happen. If
It doesn't appear in print, The
Press readers will still be able
to pull out the hairy laugh
maker about "reading The Press
before going to sleep and hav
ing nothing on the mind."

Some of you avid bream hook

hear the following tale about a
catch last week. It concerns a
12 pound catch, sopping wet!

this time of the year that sure
Is a mess of bream. The strange
thing tho', Is some of the Unny
articles were caught with a liz
ard. Could it be that the dry
spell for the past five weeks
whetted the appetite of the
fish? Under noimal conditions,
the aristocratic bream wouldn't
look sideways at a lizard.
Just to even things up, Mr.
Hodden threaded his hook with
a minnow and hauled out a
nice three and a half pound
bass.
Incidentally, just for the rec
ord, Mr. Hedden caught the rec
ord bream last year, a 12
incher weighing a pound and a
half. Looks like he has a good
start on things this year.
All of the catch was haWed
out of yon Nantahala lake,
which Is low enough after the
dry weather to put even an
average fisherman closer to the
bottom and the fish.

JUNE IS DAIRY MONTH
The 15th Annual June cam
paign, planned and sponsored
by the dairy industry to help
the nation's consumers becoipe
better acquainted with the nu
tritional and economic signifi
cance of milk and milk prod
ucts, is now under way in every
state.

son and Nancy Cabe, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cabe.
These girls are stressing the
use of milk and milk products
in the diet.
It has often been said that
life begins and ends with milk
as the main item of the diet,
and true it is that milk is an
important item in the diet of
every age group.
It has long been recognized
that milk contains many nutri
ents essential for good growth
and the proper development of
bones and teeth. Consequently,
milk has been strongly recom
mended for infants and children
for many years. But once the
child has grown into an adult,
why drink milk then?
Many people still believe that
milk is one of those childish
things that should be "put
away" when one becomes an
adult, but scientists have found
that this should not be the
case. To Insure good health and
to be able to maintain that feel
ing of vim, vigor, and vitality
for a long period of years, one
needs certain of those vitamins
and minerals that milk con

tive, maintaining the prime of
?lie as long as possible; milk
will help achieve that aim.
Then for the person who has
reached that stage of iife when
the body processes ? are slowing
down and appetite is not so
keen, milk again is one of the
important foods to consider
since it offers so many of the
essential nutrients in a lelative
ly small volume of iood.
Throughout life it is easy to
see that milk goes right along
with every age, playing an ac
tive role in making the body
strong and healthy, and in
maintaining it in that state.
It would behoove each of us to
be certain that milk Is includ
ed in some way in the diet to
make sure the child gets 3 to 4
glasses per day, and the adult,
2 to 3 glasses daily.
