hfl 6 - The Peiqulmani County II ilk Makes the Difference With Riskey and Friskey v. -f- - ' T'3 Riskey and Friskey convinced approximately 2300 boys and girls in the Perquimans County Schools that milk makes the difference, stated today by Mrs M. B. Taylor, Home Economics Extension Agent. As a result, it was reported that 100 of the children in the classroom where Riskey and Friskey spent 6 weeks drink milk, 98 of the children surveyed prefer milk over soft drink. 97 of the children include some milk in their diet daily. As you probably know that Riskey and Friskey are white rats from Wilmington, Mass They visited the schools to prove the value of milk in the diet. They were involved in a Rat Feeding Experiment. Riskey was on a bread and a soft drink diet, and Friskey was on a bread and milk diet. The experiment started February 17, and terminated April 10, 1970. Riskey and Friskey were not only to prove : that weight and growth are not only signs of good or poor nutrition. You are able to see other signs or disposition, the skin, the eyes, the breathing, the facial expression, red blood, general feeling of well being, .

At King Street Elementary School, both rats weighted 70 grams each. At the end of the exDeriment Friskev weight 210 grams, Riskey weight 90 grams. Friskey grew 512 inches longer than Riskey. It is crystal clear that Friskey, the milk drinker, is bigger and healthy. He has clean, smooth, glossing fur, and a smooth tail; has pink eyes, nose, ears, feet, and tail. Friskey has clean and tidy habits. He is quick, with alert movements, and good muscle control. Friskey is easily handled and in good nature. He has firm nails.

Alford, Social Securtiy Branch Manager in Elizabeth City, N.C. Dr. Roy P. Cun ningham, of Florence, South Carolina physician, had previously been committed to the custody of the Attorney General as a result of court action on December 22, 1969. At that time, Dr. Cunningham had entered a plea of nolo contendere (no contest) for submitting requests for payment of medical services allegedly rendered to Medicare beneficiaries, when actually such services had not been rendered. In the final action on April 1, said Mr. Alford, Dr. Cunningham was again brought before the court and received a one year prison sentence on each of two counts, the sentences to run consecutively. Mr. Alford stated that on an additional six counts, the Florence physician was placed on probation for five years, to commence upon his release from prison. Twenty-fire counts were dismissed. Mr. Alford further stated that in the bocial security Atlanta region, which includes eight Southeastern states, 13 cases of potential Medicare fraud have been referred to the Department of Justice with recommendations for prosecution, and that criminal action is being taken against an additional six physicians.

LEE DAnE YORK Stepped Up Demand Boosts Soybean Sales American soybean producers are selling record quantities of soybeans both at home and abroad this year, according to H. O. Carter, State Executive Director for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. . It is estimated that soybean utilization will increase from 945 million bushels used in 1969 to 1,136 million bushels for this year. This increase in market demand for soybeans represents the production from about 7 million acres, "In view of the excess production capacity we have in this country, this growth in soybean demand is welcome news to soybean producers and taxpayers," Carter commented. During the period 1966 through 1968 and part of 1969, soybean supplies tended to increase as a result of increased competition from lower-priced imports of fish meal, sunflower oil and other competitive protein substitutes. However, in recent months demand for soybeans has in creased substantially as a result 01 more competitive pricing, a drop-off in supplies of other high protein materials, and continued growth in world demand for protein feeds. "As a result of the increased demand at higher prices, soybean producers who placed their crop under loan last fall have been redeeming them prior to the loan maturity date and moving them into the open market," Carter pointed out. In past years, with less favorable markets, farms have tended to leave their beans under loan until the loan maturity date. Reversal of this trend will result in a substantial saving to the Government and therefore to taxpayers. "Increased exports have been, and will continue to be, the key to large growth markets for soybeans," Mr. Carter pointed out. "Soybeans supply more than four pounds of meal for each pound of oil, while most other vegetable oil products supply about a pound of oil for each pound of meal. The demand for meal is increasing faster than the demand for oil, and this in turn creates a demand for soybeans both in the U. S. and abroad," he explained. With soybeans priced more competively with other high protein products, overall market demand has increased faster than processing facilities could profitable be developed. However, with a somewhat improved operating margin, more crushing plants are being built or planned. "This will in crease the demand for farmers' beans and eventually provide a greater volume of soybean oil HERTFORD, n. c. .and meal at more competitive prices." Carter emphasized. Recent action which resulted in a 50 per cent reduction in the soybean levy into Japan, and continued efforts by USDA to discourage an import tax on soybean oil and meal moving into the European economic com munity, has helped exports. This action, combined with a continued desire by consumers to upgrade their diets, will assist in developing a market for ad ditional supplies of beans. In anticipation of this im- proved market demand, soybean growers have reported intentions jto plant over 43 million acres in 1970, an increase of almost one pnillion acres above 1969 "This increase should boost bean growers' incomes around 5100 million next year," Carter estimated.

He is convinced the issue of prisoner release has high pri ority with President Nixon. The only way to obtain the release of the men, Perot said, is through public opinion.
