Milk & Food Product of Many Uses
by W. D. Raley, manager
Dublin Chamber of Commerce
Not only is milk our best and lene, San Antonio, Fort Worth.
Dallas and the smaller town
supplied by those centers. The
production of milk is the big-
gest industry in Er*th County.
The Dublin Chamber of Com-
merce congratulates the dairy
people of Dublin and Erath Co.
on their remarkable record of
achievement.
most indispensable food prod-
uct, but it also has many uses
of which most of us are unaware.
The principal protein subs-
tance in milk is casein, from
which the surface material on
paper is made. Glues, paints
and putty are made from the
casein derived from milk, as
are many medicines and bea-
uty products- Casein is treated
with chemicals to make plas-
tics, from which machinery
parts, toys, combs, buttons,
knife and brush handles, con-
tainers and many other useful
products are made.
Milk provides the substance
from which human hair and
bone and finger nails are made.
Hormones, blood, enzymes and
other substances which enable
the human body to resist dis-
ease are also found in milk.
Milk contributes directly to
the development of brain tissue.
Truly, milk is the most near-
ly perfect and the most indis-
pensable food for human con-
sumption.
The people of Dublin and Er-
ath County are most fortunate
in having an abundant supply
of this valuable food. The 176
dairymen of Erath County pro-
duce more than six million
dollars worth of milk annually.
The county ranks fifth in milk
production ambng the 254 coun-
ties of Texas. Milk from Dub-
lin finds its way into stores in

Erath County Part of 1967
Texas Farm Market Program
The Texas Highway Commi-
ssion today approved develop-
ment of 9.1 miles of Farm to
Market Roads in Erath County
as part of the 1967 Texas Farm
to Market Program.
District Engineer R. W. Crook
of the Texas Highway Depart-
ment said estimated cost of
the work is $124,000. The work
will be under the supervision
of Mr. George W. Black. Senior
Resident Engineer, Stephenville
The work authorized for this
county is part of 949 3 miles of
Texas Farm and Ranch to
marked roads earmarked for
for development in the new pro-
gram. The program lists 228
projects in 166 counties Esti-
mated cost is $24.6 million.
New mileage included in (he
program totals 623 miles Other
mileage w*» previously desig-
nated or is being constructed
in stages. The additional mile-
age brings designated farm
and Ranch to Market Roads* in
Texas to 38.7 thousand miles.
This is greater than the entire
State-maintained highway mi-
leage of many other States.
Plans call for an eventual
FM-RM System of 50 thousand
miles. Originally conceived to
move agricultural products to
market, the FM System has
contributed both to the social
and economic well-being of ru-
ral areas.
For example. 69 per cent of
the new mileage included in the
college Work-Study Program..
Applications will be accepted
until July 1, from, qualified
students who need financial ass-
istance to attend college this
fall. Programs available include
Economic Opportunity Grants,
College Work-Study employment
National Defense Student I^ans,
and Institutional scholarships in
band , choir, football, basketball
track and baseball.
The College Work-Study Pro-
gram is designed so that the
student may earn as much as
$75 per month while attending
school. The National Defense
Student Loan Plan is a low in-
terest rate loan program to be
repaid after a student gradu-
ates from college with as much
as 50 per cent cancellation for
those who become teachers.
Any student needing infor-
mation should contact R. B.
Golemon at Ranger College.
program is on school bus routes
Sixty-three per cent of the new
mileage is along rural mail
delivery routes.
According to the Texas Ed-
cation Agency, 1 800 school bus-
es travel almost 50 thousand
miles daily to transport 473
thousand student to school and
back home. Many of these stu-
dents make all or part of their
daily trips to school over FM
roads
It is estimated that rural mail
carriers travel almost 50 thou-
sand miles a day over FM
ROADS.
Many new reservoirs and
other recreational areas are lo-
cated along the FM RM Sys-
tem. brinving nwq eolw
doe rhw nwrqoek The roads
afford the recreational traveler
an opportunity to get off the
beaten track, while continuing
to use a modern highway faci-
lity.
Cost of construction of FM
roads has almost doubled in
the last 15 years due to incre-
ased traffic and the necessity
for the network. The roads
date heavier vehicles.
Average maintenance costs
have climbed more than 80 per
cent in the same period.
Distric Engineer Crook said
the following projects were
scheduled in Erath County:
Construction of grading and
structure from U. S. 377 at
Bluff Dale, South to Richard
son Creek, a distance of app-
roximately 4 8 miles.
Construction of grading and
structtiers from end of F.M
914.4 8 - miles south of Alexanr
dor.South to Hamilton county'
lino, a distance of approxim-
ately 4 3 miles

by Manager of Henderson’s Super Market, "
Guy T. Jones
Dairymen formerly peddled
milk from house to house Some
time* thi« was in syrup buckets
and fruit jars and later in glass
bottles. This is no longer true
Grocery stores are now prin-
cipal outlets for dairy products
Dairy sections of grocery stores
are very attractive areas with
attractive packaging and
mainly in cartons Pasteurizing
and homogenizing processes,
plus fortified with vitamins
assures the custonvr of purity
and wholesomeness at all time.;
in their milk purchases.
Dairy products are a good
drawing card for grocery stores
and represent a respectable
percentage of the overall
sales. Most of the sales are on
milk with varying degrees of
richness, buttermilk, whipping
cream, sour cream, half and
half, skim milk, cottage cheese,
butter, ice cream products, and
cheese products
Dairymen and their families
represent a high type of citi-
zenry They will prove a valu-
able asset to any community
they reside in
