June Designated
As Dairy Month;
All Taking Part
Famous Bull from Local Farm Is Paraded in Winston-Salem
Tuesday as Part of Dairy Month Observance There;
Both Governor Hoey and Elkin's Mayor Call
Attention to Importance of Dairy
Products As Health Builders
Klondike Iceberg, the famous
bull born near the south pole on
the second Byrd Antarctic expe
dition in 1933, was carried from
Klondike Farm hefe to take part
in a large parade in Winston-
Salem Tuesday which was held
by the dairy producers of this
area in observance of June as
"dairy month."
The parade, which included
numerous floats and 50 or more
dairy trucks, paraded through
principal business streets of the
city, with Klondike Iceberg a
feature attraction.
T. P. Cooley, manager of Klon
dike Farm here, has said that the
famous bull, despite one and a
half years near the south pole,
was normal in every respect.
Klondike Iceberg is a son of
Klondike Nira, who was carried
by Byrd on the expedition, and
was born aboard the SS Jacob
Ruppert after the ship had
reached the antarctic circle.
Klondike Nira died a short while
after the birth of her son, who
thrived under temperatures as
low as 70 degrees below zero. He
was brought back to the states in
1935.
In a statement in connection
with the observance of June as
"dairy month," which is being

observed by all local dairies, Gov
ernor Clyde R. Hoey had the fol
lowing to say:
"North Carolina's great farm
industry is closely allied with the
dairy cow and her products, the
annual income from which in this
State approaches $32,000,000.
This will indicate the importance
of this industry and also the
possibilities in its further devel
opment.
"Scientists have long recogniz
ed the high nutritional value of
milk and its products; butter,
cheese and ice cream; and from
youth to old age they occupy pri
mary position in the diet as nour
ishing, refreshing and appetizing
drinks and dishes. A nation's hu
man health is greatly enhanced
by the products of the dairy cow,
the foster mother of mankind.
"Today milk and other dairy
products are relatively cheap;
and June being the season of
abundance on the market, prices
always tend downward. There
fore, during the month of June
milk will be among the most ec
onomical food purchases for any
family.
"With the idea of stimulating
the use of dairy products during
this period, it has been determin
ed that June shall be designated
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELB3N, NORTH CAROLINA
as the 'dairy month' In North
Carolina, during which time spe
cial attention should be given to
dairy products and all of the
people further urged to enjoy
some of these delicious and
wholesome products during these
first summer months months.
And I admonish the people of
North Carolina to drink more
milk, use more butter, cheese and
ice cream, and therefore increase
the health and at the same time
add to the stability of this in
dustry in a period of peak pro
duction; and I trust that the
month of June will find all of
our people participating in this
observance." -
Mayor J. R. Poindexter like
wise joined in a proclamation
formally designating June as
"dairy month," his proclamation
being as follows:
Whereas, milk and its products
constitute an important part of
the diet of our entire population
and are an absolutely essential
part of the daily food supply of
many of our citizens; and
Whereas, it is generally recog
nized that our present consump
tion of milk is far short of the
amounts considered by nutrition
authorities as proper and practi
cal, namely, one quart daily for
children through adolescence and
one pint daily for adults,
Now, therefore, I, J. R. Poin
dexter, Mayor of City of Elkin, do
hereby proclaim June Ist to 30th
next inclusive, as Dairy Month
and ask the citizens of Elkin to
give recognition through act and
deed to this great industry, and
to the 100,000 members of our
farm families in the State who
are engaged in dairy farming
through which we are supplied
with this vital food.
judge—Did I understand you
to say, witness, that the parties
came to high words?.
Witness—No, your honor; what
I said was that the words were
particularly low.
