June 11 1970 DOUG TASK fUla a container with orange sher bet Second Generation In Local Creamery "Pride of Oregon" is the pride of the Cox family and the in terior country which Morrow County Creamery serves. The creamery, now in the second generation of the Cox family has for Its registered trademark "Pride of Oregon" pictured with the Blue Mountains as back ground with green meadows, a creek and three contented Guernsey cows! Times have changed since Claude Cox started the cream ery back in 1916. Up until the time colored oleo was packaged, the creamery was making 1000 pounds of butter a day 4 or times a week for 150,000 pounds a year. It was about a year ago this spring, they quit making butter at the local plant because there wasn t enough cream pro duced in the area. They are still buying cream but this is shipped to the cream ery at Redmond and then to the Raven Creamery In Portland. This is an exchange with the creamery at Redmond for their sweet cream butter. This is brought to the local plant in a 68 pound brick that is cut and wrapped with the Pride of Ore gon label. Cottage cheese isn't made locally but also comes as Heart of Oregon from the Red mond creamery and is distribut ed by Morrow County Creamery. Bill Cox Bill Cox, owner and manager of the Creamery is in charge of Sales and Deliveries within a 60 mile radius. He drives about 1000 miles a week. He says con sumption of Pride of Oregon ice cream has increased per capita but population is dropping in the interior which he serves. Ice Cream and Sherbet D. R. Tash makes the ice cream and sherbet with the help of Clav Phillips. He makes all the mixes from scratch. He mix es up 10 gallons of sherbet mix at once in a milk can. To make orange sherbet he mixes water, milk, orange flavor, citric acid and stabilizer. This is frozen five gallons at a time. In the soft stage it is poured into contain ers, capped and put into the hardening room until solid. Tem peratures are 15 to 20 degrees below zero. The milk for the ice cream comes from the Hermiston Dairy. It is poured into the stainless steel receiving tank and by stainless steel pipe goes to the spray pasteurizer. The heat unit is within the walls of the unit which heats the water that makes the steam that raises the tempera ture of the milk to 170 degrees where it is held for 30 minutes. The milk is gently agitated to keep it from sticking. Milk solids, sugar and stabil izer is added to the milk and cream which is piped into the Homogenizer. The mix is forced through the homogenizer valve at 2500 pounds pressure. This breaks down the fat globules and other ingredients so they won't separate. Next it goes through the tub ular cooler where it is cooled down to 40 degrees. It is stored in 10 gallon cans at 35 to 38 degrees until it is frozen.

Though a meat bacced and placed in cartons and stored at 20 degrees below zero until sold. Ice Making Blocks of ice 25 to 50 lb. are cut from long blocks of ice made in tanks. The tanks are surrounded by a circulating cal cium brine. Water freezes hard in 36 hours. The tanks are lift ed by hoist and the ice is then sawed into blocks. The ice maker which goes con tinually makes 400 pounds of Ice cubes a day. Water runs over a refrigerant plate. The water is recirculated over the plate. As the sheet of Ice thickens and gains the desired thickness, the pump stops circulating the wa ter. The sheet of Ice slides off the refrigerant plate down on steel cutter wires. The 5 amp wires cut the sheet of ice into the familiar ice pieces seen In your fresh lemon coke at the Wagon Wheel. This ice is bagged and sold at the grocery stores and deliv ered to restaurants and taverns whereever ice Is used Doug Tash Doug Tash has been working In and around ice cream lor a long time. In 1934, his father had a confectionary store right next to the Creamery then over on Main St. He worked in the creamery while he was in High School Where he really learned how to make ice cream was the four years he worked in the Hood River Creamery after high school, later two years at Hel ena, Mont., and then for a year at Cathlamet. He went to work for the Mororw County Cream ery in 1934. Clay Phillips Helping with the ice cream operations at the creamery is cutter of 50 years at Lexington, Kinzua and Portland, he enjoys working at the creamery. He was born on Skinners Creek up Wil low Creek. Will the Morrow County Creamery go to a third genera tion?
