Some things i in life
- Canadians can take
for granted...

Like all the dairy products
you want when you. want
them—which is always.

It's hard to think of dairy
products not being in plen-

a tiful supply (how would you
_ explain that to the family?).
-. They are, because a lot of

people see to it that you
have all you need. That in-

cludes Canada’s 200,000

milk and cream producers,

the firms which process and.

‘merchandise dairy pro-.

» ducts, and the Canadian
“Dairy Commission.

There are two main parts

-to the dairy industry. One is
‘ bottled milk and cream. The.

other is manufactured dairy
products —butter, cheese,
evaporated milk, powdered
milk, ice cream and many
others. Part of the job of the
Dairy Commission is to:‘help
assure that dairy farmers,
whose milk and cream goes
into manufactured prod-
ucts, get an income which
permits them to serve con-

sumers with. a steady, reli-

able supply.

How do we do it? |
First, we Support the mar-
ket prices of dairy products.

- That's a protection for the
prod ucer and the.consumer.

‘It gives the producer a

...gteady income from his
milk and cream, -which he _

needs like everybody else.
And. it assures the consum-
er of: steady prices. for dairy
products: -

“Market. prices, ‘though: |

n t enough | to’ give Pro

ducers the income > they .

need to stay in business.
And without federal help
supplies would drop and
prices would increase.

SO we supplement their
market income by help-out
payments (not hand-outs)
but only for the amount of
milk and. cream for the pro-
ducts which the: market
needs (we don’t encourage
the production of costly
surpluses).

Our aim is a stable, profit-
able dairy industry—and a
continuing supply of high

quality dairy products on the.

Canadian market.
So by all. means go on
taking dairy products for

granted. You can afford to— .

because we don’ t.
