Theso farmer-consumer drives on selected food products were Inaugu rated by Snfeway for the double pur pose of aiding both the producer and consumer, said Mr. Haws, and have been vitally helpful In relieving con gested markets and conferring greater food values on consumers. "In selecting dairy and poultry products for the forthcoming sale, Safeway recognized that dairymen and poultry rnlsera present a tremendous proportion of rural America." Mr. Haws stated. "Their operations are of great Importance In practically every state of the Union; furthermore, their products contain essential food requirements without a proper per centage of which public health would suffer. This especially true in the case of children.' In a similar campaign staged by Safeway last year, cheese was not in cluded, but It Is to be bracketed with milk, butter arid eggs this year, be cause It is a logically related Item. "Safeway's Homemakers' Bureau. Oakland, will cooperate with the forthcoming sales event by mailing to housewives upon receipt of a stamped self-adressed envelope, spe cial tented recipes calling for the use of milk, butter, eggs and cheese, Mr. Hawa announced.
