Milk Economy Order Halts Pints and Half Pints Deliveries
Washington January 22 Secretary of Agriculture Wickard ordered sweeping economies in the TECE CUR GL Lui milk programs. He decreed deposits must be collected on bottles and that no more pints or half pints shall be delivered to homes or sold in retail stores. The goal is to conserve containers and materials, manpower, delivery gear, fuel and tires while enabling higher dairy farmer pay where needed and limiting consumer price increases. Wickard, wartime food administrator, said producer prices may rise in some areas to spur milk production, with distribution savings likely offsetting consumer costs.
