Dairy Producers Also Oppose A&P Suit The Midwest Producers Cream- eries, Inc., opposed government re- strictions on distributors of dairy products "such as the Great Atlan- tic ft Pacific Tea Company" dur- ing Its recent annual meeting at South Bend. The action was taken In the form of a resolution adopted by the group which includes 21 creanlery associations representing more than 8,000 farmers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. The resolution called for opposi- tion, on the part of the dairy pro- ducers, to unjust government at- tacks on distributors handling their products. It cited the A ft P case and emphasized that this com- pany had done much to Increase the consumption of dairy products and other foods. The government anti-trust divi- sion currently Is seeking through the courts to brsak up the A ft P and to divorce the present owners from all of the company's opera- tions. The resolution further stated that anything done to nursery school staff.

Mich. Dairy Producers Also Oppose A&P Suit

The Midwest Producers Cream-eries, Inc., opposed government re-strictions on distributors of dairy products "such as the Great Atlan-tic ft Pacific Tea Company" dur-ing Its recent annual meeting at South Bend.

The action was taken In the form of a resolution adopted by the group which includes 21 creanlery associations representing more than 8,000 farmers in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee.

The resolution called for opposi-tion, on the part of the dairy pro-ducers, to unjust government at-tacks on distributors handling their products. It cited the A ft P case and emphasized that this com-pany had done much to Increase the consumption of dairy products and other foods.

The government anti-trust divi-sion currently Is seeking through the courts to brsak up the A ft P and to divorce the present owners from all of the company's opera-tions.

The resolution further stated that anything done to

She observed It In action at the Museum of Mod-ern Art In New York City as a Christmas vacation enterprise, i Art activities appeal to children of all ages and are as easy to pro-vide In your town as in New York. Simple easels may be merely site-able squares of plywood or wall-board tilted against the wall on a shelf of convenient height with a box or trough to hold paints and brushes. Even this simple equip* ment would not be necessary as most children over five can manage quite well on large pieces of paper spread on a low table or on the floor.

At one table the New York chil-dren combined bits of fabric, pa-per, cardboard and feathers on pa-per with paste and all ages seemed to enjoy It.

The Back Supporter Mattress and Box Spring (built as separate units) are constructed to act together to provide proper euppoit and relax-ing comfort. The Back Supporter box spring is a level, sturdy foun-dation spring built as the correct base fi)r this mattress only. The Back Supporter Mattress, with its high density construction of lightly compressed colls of extra large di-ameter, gives restful, healthful body adjustment . . . buoyancy without bounce . . . not just extra firm, but designed to provide pos-itive, extra back support. And the Back Supporter is a fine looking product, too. On ordinary "firm" mattresses, or when bedboards are used, many* people complain of their arms "go-

ing to sleep"—apparently because the harsh surfaces Interfere with circulation. This does not occur with a Back Supporter mat t ress -there is sufficient surface flexibil-ity to gtve you fine sleep comfort as well as adequate back support.

Many brands of commercial mat-tresses have "extra firm" models. Do not confuse these with the ad-vantages and benefits that the special construction of the Back Supporter Mattress may afford you. The reason for this Is the cor-rect functional use of materials and construction methods in a mattress as attractive as it is bene-ficial to many users.
