Milkmen Expand Offerings Beyond Dairy Across PA
Philadelphia reports that several dairy firms have added non dairy goods to home delivery, turning routes into convenience shops on wheels. Abbotts Dairies says non dairy items now comprise about 20 percent of revenue while Harbison’s and Sealtest stress new profits though route consolidations hurt personal contact with customers. Bechtel Dairy remains focused on dairy, while Milk Maid and Lehi have pulled trucks off the road after unprofitable routes.

Titusville Plans Staff Reductions Amid Enrollment Drop
Titusville Area School District directors voted to reduce staff by attrition and retirement after reporting a loss of 149 students from 1973-74 to 1974-75. Superintendent Howard Newson attributed the decline to families moving away and Amish relocations, noting no layoffs planned. The board also tabled action on updating the 10-year Pleasantville Elementary School plan pending further study.

Analysts say South Vietnam could survive without more aid
Western analysts in Saigon say South Vietnam can endure without new U S aid, but ammo stocks would dip to dangerously low levels by June if fighting persists. They estimate North Vietnam and Viet Cong hold enough stockpiles for over a year, while U S aid requested largely funds ammunition and fuel.
