happy Dairy Days
are here!
June is Dairy Month—an extra special time to
enjoy delicious milk, ice cream, butter, cheese and
all the other tempting foods produced by America’s
dairy farmers.
If you’re a dairyman, you can be mighty proud of
the part you play in one of our biggest, most
important industries. Even if you raise livestock or
poultry, you’ll quickly recognize the contribution
to good living made by our neighbors in dairying.
Let’s salute them by adding nutritious dairy
products like these to our daily diet. And, treat
ourselves to extra health and nourishment by
enjoying milk and milk products every day.

CITY OF COVINGTON
PACKING FOR VACATION
Consideration of your travel
apparel is next in Importance to
deciding the vacation spot and the
mode of transportation. Many
vacations have been spoiled by
bad packing.
“Travel light” should be the
password in packing the bags for
a vacation. Nothing can be as
burdensome as extra baggage.
You can trim the package weight
to some extent by using the new
feather-light pieces of luggage.
The first step in planning for
the vacation Is to choose a color
scheme and plan a working ward
robe around It. This will mean
calculating your color combinat
ions in advance. Keep the lines
of the outfits simple so that
they will be flexible enough to
change with your slightest im
aginative wish.
Surround these basics with a
strong supporting cast of ac
cessories and you’ll be surprised
at the different looks you can
create. If your vacation keeps
you on the move, remember that
your clothes will be new to every
situation and to everyone you
meet.
Tried and true outfits are your
best selection. Buy or make the
clothes you Intend to take. Do
this well in advance of your de
parture time so that you can
try them out and feel at home
In them when you leave.
For a vacation with a lot of
sightseeing, any traveler will
need a coat and dress, beauti
fully paired In coordinated fab
rics. A washable knit dress will
be perfect. It’s a proven agile
travler that adapts well to fold
ing and sitting situations.
Versatile overblouses multiply
the fashion potential of the ward
robe and can do much to change
that basic skirt. The wardrobe
can be rounded out with a few
additional dresses, a couple of
pairs of shoes, two bags, a ver
satile collection of jewelry and
a scarf to enliven a neutral solid.
In packing, remember that it’s
loose packing that causes
wrinkles. The clothing slides
from side to side as the suitcase
Is moved. Tissue paper helps
eliminate this problem. Pack the
tissue paper between the layers
and also in the folds of the gar
ments. After the clothing Is pack
ed, fit all the bulky objects into
the corners and along the sides
of the suitcase.
And, you might also remember
to leave room for gifts and sou
venirs for the return trip.

FAMILY NET WORTH
A true picture of material
advancement each year is shown
in a net worth statement. This
is as Important for the family as
it is a public business. After all
the family is the basic business
institution.
Net worth is simply the value
of what you own less what you owe.
This Includes house and lot, fur
nishings, equipment, tools, cloth
ing, supplies and other such
Items. Cash on hand, savings
and Investments should also be
Included.
Making out a statement of net
worth may sound like a lot of
work. I admit It does mean a
little extra work but it can be

fun as well.
If you are Interested in tak
ing this measure of family worth,
pick up a copy of our Extension
Bulletin No. 631, “Household In
ventory and Net Worth”. This Is
a four-year record book with in
structions for several ways of
evaluating what you own.
The Inventory record is or
ganized by rooms and could be
come a family fun activity with
different members listing what is
in a room. The evaluation would
need to be a group activity. You
will probably find that you are
worth a lot more than you think.
A by-product of this family
activity might be greater ap
preciation by the children for
their home and what you are pro
viding for them to make HvLng
comfortable and enjoyable. It
can also Impress on them why
the purchase of some luxury Items
must be postponed until more
pressing needs are met.

Tips On Buying Eggs
The Consumer and Marketing

tip on eggs.

difference between the grade—
which refers to quality—and the

The grade and size are not
related, but both are specified
on the carton when the eggs have
been graded.
