Mrs. Schaefer
Speaks to N. C.
Welfare Group
The Department of Family and
Children Services must take its
place in the center of community
life, Mrs. Bruce Schaefer said
following attendance at a meet
ing of the Southeast Conference of
the American Public Welfare As-;
sociation in Asheville, North Caro
lina.
The Department can no longer
be satisfied with the role of do
ling out too little too late, the
State Director continued. We
must develop resources for Med
ical Care and better living con
ditions for our 300,000 aged citi
zens. We must prevent the break
down of families and we must
guarantee better health and bet
ter training for our children.
Everyone looks to the Depart
ment of Family and Children Ser
vices for help in times of stress,
she pointed out. We must develop
our community resouces, improve
our skills in casework and coun
seling and secure additional funds
to guarantee financial security for
disadvantaged persons during per
iods of crises.
If we are to ensure the well
being of our people we must em
brace the philosophy of self-help,
self-care, independent living and
rehabilitation with whole-hearted
enthusiasm, Mrs. Schaefer con
tinued.
Children must stay in school at
least through graduation from
high school. This means that the
age in Aid-to-Families-with-De
pendent - Children situations be
raised to age 18 and calls for an
additional outlay of $250,000 a
year in State funds to match three
times that amount in federal
funds, she pointea out.
Broken families must be re
united: medical and dental needs
of children must be met to pre
vent future dependency: and fam
illy members with employment po
tentials must be put to work, she
continued.
Georgia has the highest num
ber of persons receiving Aid to
the Permanently and Totally Dis
abled in the South and is second
■ in the nation. Mrs. Schaefer said.
' This is a disgrace to our State.

Cattle Prices Had
Decline This Weeki
ATLANTA —Prices of south- |
ern cattle and calves in spite 11
of reduced marketing this week 1
continued in a downward
trend, with feeders declining
the most, or from 50 cents to
$1.50 a hundred pounds, the
U. S. Department of Agricul
ture reports. Prices of feeders
figured about 10 percent be
i low a year ago.
Hog prices recovered some
i this week after a long seasonal
1 downtrend, and wound up the
week’s period Friday as much
as 25 to 50 cents a hundred
pounds higher. The level of
hog prices, however, was still
$1.75 to $2 below a year ago.
Broiler prices in most south
eastern states declined late this
week 1/2-cent a pound to 12
cents for birds at farms. Prices
had held at 12 1/2 cents since
about September 19.
Trading for ready-to-cook
fryers was mainly just fair,
and in some instances pricing
was very competitive. In the
Del-Mar-Va area Friday, broil
> er prices ranged 13.6 “to 14.5
cents a pound.
Southeastern egg prices ad
vanced on large size this week
1/2-cent to 1 1/2 cents a dozen
for the most part. Closing prices
Friday at representative south
eastern centers for consumer
grade A large size in cartons
in sales to retailers were: At
lanta, 48 1/2 to 49 cents; Birm
ingham, 46 1/2 to 49 1/2 cents;
Jackson, 48 to 52 cents; Jack
sonville, 50 to 51 cents; and
North Carolina points 48 1/2 to
49 cents.
Closing hog prices Friday at
leading southern markets for
most U. S. 1 to 3 mixed butch
। ers generally weighing 180 to
t -40 pounds were: Georgia
v lor id a-Ala ba ma major pack
ing plants. $15.25 to sl6; North
Georgia plants, $15.25 to sls
- Louisville, sl6 and $16.50-
Memphis $15.50 to $15.75; Nash
ville Thursday, $15.75 to $16.-
25; and hog buying stations in
■ North Carolina sl6 to $16.50.
At 20 Georgia cattle auctions
this week, Good feeder steers
weighing from 500 to 750
> pounds brought $lB to $22.50,
■ compared with a range a year
ago of $19.50 to $24.50.
It points up our lack of educa
tion. our lack of proper nutrition,
lack of medical attention, poor
health habits and general ignor
ance.
I know the people of Georgia
are concerned about such things.
I served on the State Board of
Education long enough to know
that we believe in education, in
vocational training and in voca
tional rehabilitation. I know that
the people of Georgia want our
children cared for properly. The
medical needs of our aged and
infirm must be attended; and'per
sons with any possible capabili
ties must be engaged in that all
important process of removing
themselves from public assistance
rolls, she concluded.

Production
per cow
When pastures turn green, some dairymen are tempted
to lower costs by cutting bar k on supplemental feeding.
But grass can be up to 85% water... can’t provide
enough nutrients for high-producing cows. Purina pasture
experiments spotlight thia. The real difference came the
next fall and winter! Cows fed on pasture milked far
better than the pasture-only group.
There’s a trend to drylot dairying, too. Last year’s
DHIA summaries from one Western state, show the
state’s high-producing herds were on pasture only 50-80
days— got only 5-8% of net energy or feed from pastures.
Dairymen with “sharp pencils,” know using high-priced
land as pasture comes high ... so drylot feeding is ooming
fast.
Whatever the size of your herd, we have practical feeding
and management plans for drylot feeding. They include
dividing your herd into separate pens, feeding different
rations based on milk production ability. “Backbone” of
these rations, is Purina Milk Chow Special... a research
proved high efficiency ration built to help cows give all
the milk bred in them.
W’e’ll be happy to visit about ideas to help you get high
production per cow per day ... and over a long milking
life. Drop by or call us ... at our Store with the Checke
rboard Sign.
