All Areas Not Controlled While most milk marketing areas in the state are presently controlled there are still areas which do not. The law applies only to milk products including cream upon which there are no controls. Despite this milk and milk product prices through the state are generally on a parable level. As cost factors change, public hearings are called by the state the various marketing areas under control and the prices are lower or raised according to prevailing conditions. Records of the state agency close the law has worked well for the producers in stabilizing the industry and avoiding surplus. Records also show the public has not suffered from milk shortage. However, with the increased cost of living criticisms of the law have been frequently heard from housewives who feel price are too high generally and like cite the price of milk as an example. This leads to charges that milk is too high because of state regulations. Are California housewives paying too much for milk because state milk price controls? According to W. B. Woodbury chief of the State Bureau of Mining Control, “milk prices in California, generally, are lower than most other sections of the nation.” “San Francisco, for example, a comparison with forty other leading cities throughout the nation has the second lowest consumer price.

California housewives pay too much for milk because of milk price controls? According to W. B. Woodburn, of the State Bureau of Milkol, "milk prices in California generally, are lower than other sections of the nation." In Francisco, for example, in comparison with forty other cities throughout the nation, the second lowest price. This is on a basis of index relationship. That is, state price fixing for milk. "In New Orleans where wages are notably lower than in California, milk on an uncontrolled market is selling for 22 cents per quart as compared to the California average of 19½ to 20½ cents per quart." Below National Average Figures released by the U. S. Department of Agriculture from Washington, D. C., show California milk consumer prices, as of December 1948, range from one to 1½ cents below the national average. “This, considering the fact that labor costs as well as dairy feed costs are generally higher in California, should prove that state control is not resulting in higher consumer prices,” Woodburn asserted. “Then, too, California health and sanitary regulations are the highest in the nation. While it is true these factors increase production costs the end price to the consumer compares very favorably with other states.” Can't Overprice Milk "Actually," Woodburn declared, "You can't overprice milk. Housewives aren't dumb and if milk were priced out of proportion to other foods they would simply show their resentment by staging a buyer's strike. They did it when meat got out of line and they would do the same with milk." Woodburn's statements as to comparable costs of milk nationwide are true over a long period of time. The U. S. Department of Labor reporting for December 1947 listed the index for all foods at 206.9 while for the same period the index for a quart of milk, cash and carry in San Francisco was 162.6 and 187 for Los Angeles. This same ration applied over a long period of time shows California milk prices consistently lower Elks, Ladies, Enjoy Hi-Jinks More than 250 Elks and their ladies enjoyed varied games and a buffet luncheon at the special hi-jinks night held last Saturday at the Northern Orange County Lodge No. 1345, on North Los Angeles street. Andy Anderson was in charge of the arrangements. Last night (Wednesday) members attended a Lyman Packard meeting honoring the junior past exalted ruler, with Del Wilkerson, exalted ruler, presiding. Spotlighting Wednesday's entertainment program was Professor Lyman, distinguished master of mind over matter, hypnotist and user of mental telepathy, who mystified the gathering. JOHNSON ATTEMPTS BIG BEAR SKIING L. D. Johnson, used car dealer on south Los Angeles street, and his guest, Miss Marian Watters, also of this city, enjoyed Sunday skiing at Snow Valley near Big Bear. According to Johnson who traveled well equipped with car chains, there was lots of snow but not on the roads. It seems he found using a ski lift somewhat of an abrupt let-down, however, he remained enthusiastic say: "We got away from it all climbing above Los Angeles county and surrounding territories' high clouds, smog and smudge." A number of year-round-club and outdoor lovers were in evidence but there remained plenty of room for snow sports, he commented. VALEDORS ENJOY ICE SKATING PARTY Ice skating at Paramount near Artesia was enjoyed by many members of the Valedor club, young people's Catholic organization Tuesday evening. Joe Truxavanaheim, president of the members from St. Boniface church this city, and St. Mary's church Fullerton, was in charge of rangers. ST.

Woodburn, of the State Bureau of Milk Control, "milk prices in California generally, are lower than other sections of the nation." In Francisco, for example, in comparison with forty other cities throughout the nation, the second lowest contario price. This is on a basis of index relationship. That is, cost of milk as it is related to food costs in the respective an illustration, Woodburn the prices of Milwaukee, Carson, heart of the nation's land. The general level of both food prices in that area are lower in California but milk rehere at ½ cent under Cali- prices. Wisconsin," he said, "has no Woodburn's statements as to comparable costs of milk nationwide are true over a long period of time. The U. S. Department of Labor reporting for December 1947 listed the index for all foods at 206.9 while for the same period the index for a quart of milk, cash and carry in San Francisco was 162.6 and 187 for Los Angeles. This same ration applied over a long period of time shows California milk prices consistently lower than the index of all foods. These price levels have been maintained despite the serious problems which confront the industry from time to time such as the drought of 1947. How do the dairy farmers feel about State regulation of milk prices? The Desmond Act of 1935 created a State Bureau of Milk Control to fix both wholesale and retail minimum milk prices. The law, however, provides that the state bureau shall fix prices only where 65 per cent of the milk producers in a given marketing area petition for such regulation. Since the law's adoption most of the milk marketing areas of the state have been brought under state control. According to W. B. Woodburn, chief of the State Bureau of Milk Control, the dairy farmers, generally, are solidly in support of the law. Ruinous Price Wars "Prior to the enactment of the Desmond Act," Woodburn states, "many dairymen were being forced out of business due to the ruinous price wars being engaged in by distributors. The Desmond Act has had a stabilizing effect on the industry assuring the public of a good quality milk, honestly priced. It has prevented damaging surpluses and at the same time safeguarded the public from shortages and low quality milk." Just how the individual dairy-man feels about the state law is best told in the words of Gordon Cromer, Chula Vista dairy producer. Said Cromer in an article in the current issue of the Western Dairy Journal: "California has been operating under a plan of establishing producer and distributor minimums which has resulted in benefits to everyone concerned with milk. "Producers and distributors have realized profits, yet it has not discouraged the constant search for greater efficiency. The consumer has enjoyed a lower price than chains, there was lots of snow but not on the roads. It seems he found using a ski lift somewhat of an abrupt let-down, however, when you trade in Anaheim." CALIFORNIA has been operating under a plan of establishing producer and distributor minimums which has resulted in benefits to everyone concerned with milk. Producers and distributors have realized profits, yet it has not discouraged the constant search for greater efficiency. The consumer has enjoyed a lower price than the U.S. average even in an area where costs are greater. All Suffer from Pice-Cutting If distributors are allowed to kick the price around, all will suffer—." The larger statewide distributors would enter areas with lower prices until they had gained considerable volume and possibly eliminated smaller competition—then raise the price which would result in higher costs to the consumer less total value of milk purchased from producers. In summary, it would seem a greater number of interested parties stand to suffer if distributor's retail prices were decontrolled than if producer prices were set by law." In the same issue, H. S. Wakefield, Los Angeles dairyman, states: “If the preamble of the present milk act is properly predicated on the fact that the milk business, the production and distribution, is vested with public interest, then it seems to follow that if the important function of production is to be assured by a minimum price to the producer, the ability of the distributor to pay that price must also be assured by minimum resale prices.” In the second and final article, capital reporter Waters will consider the attitude of the retail grocers, examine the facts in the case of one of the state's major remained enthusiastic saying, got away from it all, climbabove Los Angeles county's surrounding territories' haze, falls, smog and smudge." A good number of year-round-clubbers outdoor lovers were in evicce but there remained plenty room for snow sports, he comted.

SOUTHLAND'S TRAFFIC Deaths Down 12.4% Over 1947 Totals A total of 1613 traffic fatalities, 81 of which occurred in Orange county, were reported in southern California last year, the Automobile Club of Southern California has disclosed.

The club said that 1948 fatality totals represented a 12.4 per cent decrease in comparison to the previous year's totals. Decreases were recorded in 10 of southern California's 18 counties with only Inyo, Riverside and Santa Barbara experiencing more traffic deaths last year than in 1947.
