Roxboro’s new Elko dairy plant,
owned by L. Jack Martin and J. D.
Crutchfield and located on Highway
501 near the Virgilina highway in
tersection, is nearing completion,
and the formal opening will pro
bably be held within three or four
weeks.
The new plant, recently declared
by a State inspector to be one of the
most modern plants in North Caro
lina, is already being used, although
a boiler room, supply room, and
dressing room are still in process of
! construction. All equipment has
been obtained except some needed
in the sales room.
Mr. Martin and Mr. Crutchfield,
■whose total investment in the dairy
represents about $35,000 or more,
are taking steps to insure a Grade
A milk supply in Person county.
They are financing the construction
of several Grade A barns for farm
ers. One such barn is already under
construction, and several more are
being planned.
Baxter Duncan, John Winstead,
Jr,, Wilbur Lawes, and several other
men are cooperating In the effort
to make this section of the State
produce all the Grade A milk which
is needed for local consumption.
Mr. Martin said today that Elko
spends about $6,000 per month for
Its milk supply. He and Mr. Crutch
field, he said, are anxious to spend
as much of that money as possible
In Person County.
When completed, the dally will
manufacture and retail ice cream
and milk shakes, selling them over
the counter. The sales room will be
kept open each night until 11 o'-
clock. Plenty of parking space will
be available for customers.
A contest will'be held soon in an
effort to find a name for the plant’s
ice cream, with cash prizes to be
awarded. Further details will be an
nounced.
The new plant, equipped with the
I most modern fixtures, has a capa
city of 1,000 gallons of milk per day.
At present it is producing about
1550 gallons daily. The ice cream
freezer is capable of freezing 5 gal
lons every 15 minutes. The ice
cream hardener has a capacity of
200 gallons per day.
The raw milk is brought by con
veyor to the receiving room, where
it is tested for flavor, quality, and
butterfat. From the receiving room
it goes by pipe to the filter, consis
ting of seven cotton pads and then
to the automatic pasteurizing ma
chines, where the milk is heated
slowly so as to preserve the natural
flavor. Pasteurizing temperature is
145 degrees.
Next the milk is piped to the are
ator, or cooler, where it is instantly
cooled down to 34 degrees. Then it
goes to the bottling machine, which
can turn out 36 bottles per minute.
The bottled milk is then sent to
the refrigeration room, where it is
kept at a temperature of 34 degrees
until it is loaded on trucks for dis
tribution.
A soaker-type bottle washing'ma
chine cleans the bottles with caustic
soda,

man beings as individuals rather
tha as races. It was felt that the im
pressions made in this one class
