tern to serve better the needs of scientists for information. The computer holds promise for development of a series of information products and services for dissemination of primary information, as well as potential for direct man-machine interactive capability. The realization of such systems is some years in the future, but the efforts to develop the role

of computerized composition systems for scientific journals constitute the necessary first step in fulfillment of the promise of computer- based information systems.

RETIREMENT

N. F. Colovos

N. F. Colovos retired February 12, 1971 as professor of animal sciences after 43 years as animal nutri t ionist at the University of New Hampshire.

Born in Avgerinos, Kozani, Greece in 1904 he came to the United States at the age of 11 and attended public schools in Manchester, New tIampshire. He received the B.S. in 1927 and an M.S. degree in 1931 from the University of New Hampshire. He became a naturalized citizen in 1927, took post- graduate work at Cornell University (1938- 39), and was a Firs t Lieutenant in the U.S. Army during World War 2.

Since his retirement, Nick and Mrs. Colovos continue to live at 20 Cowell Drive, Durham where he regularly visits his office at Ritzmhn Animal Nutri t ion Laboratory.

With more than 60 publications and ab- stracts in scientific journals Professor Colovos has promoted the concept of energy metab- olism and net energy through years when

these concepts were not generally popular among animal nutritionists. He applied them to studies on the effects of maturity on forage utilization, on the utilization of urea and various concentrate by-products in rumin/mt rations, and on the effects of environment upon the white-tailed deer. Colovos attended and contributed papers to numerous interna- tional symposia thereby bringing world-wide recognition to the energy metabolism labora- tory at the University of New Hampshire.

In addition he has aided numerous younger scientists in establishing large animal respira- tion calorimeters throughout the U.S. and in several foreign countries. Colovos has been a member of many professional and honorary societies including the American Insti tute of Nutrition, New York Academy of Sciences, American Dairy Science Association and the American Animal Science Society.

Dr. Colovos has been an active member of the Greek Orthodox Church and has held many positions of leadership in local as well as national and international church-related

International News

Highlights. World milk production declined sl ightly in the first 9 months of 1970, de- creasing most (1.5%) in the Common 1V[arket countries, par t ly from weather and par t ly because of restr ict ive measures. Cheese pro- duction and use increased. More milk and dairy products were used in 1969 than in ]968, the first time since 1963 tha t there was an increase. Per capita consumption in 17 selected countries was down to 718 lb., f a r below Fin land ' s 1,353 lb., I re land ' s 1,147 lb and New Zealand's 1,222 lb., but bet ter than the 568 lb. of the United States.

Seventy-one countries have adopted the United Nation 's Code of Principles for Milk and Milk Products, and UN-assisted programs in Asia, Lat in America, and Afr ica have the double aim of combatt ing malnutr i t ion and encouraging da i ry products use. Nearly 4,000 tons of dai ry products have been pledged to the Wor ld Food Program. The UN Committee on Commodity Problems is working to improve the da i ry indus t ry position, especially in de- veloped countries, plagued by surpluses and t rade dislocations.

United States dairy outlook. A. G. Mathis of the USDA Economic Research Service s ta ted: "A good supply of herd replacements, the easier labor situation, and record-high milk prices favor a rise in milk production for ]971. On the other hand, grain and con- centrate prices are higher and net incomes from dairying are lagging. Thus, a limited rise in milk production from the 117.4 billion pounds in 1970 seems likely."

Wi th milk prices up 34% in 1970, farmers gained 30% more (on less milk) than in 1965. Gross income (up 5%) reached $6.5 billion, is expected to reach $6.6 billion in 1971. Dairy sales were slightly above 109 billion pounds in 1969, with the government removing 5.8 billion pounds. Imports (up 20%) reached 1.9 billion pounds, whereas ex- ports, lowest since 1967, were only 0.5 billion pounds but were expected to be higher for 1.971 with more favorable world prices.

Dairy Society International contacts. Ear ly in Feb rua ry 1971, G. W. Weigold was elected chairman of the informally organized Co- operator group, comprised of commodity as- sociations, like DSI, having agreements with the U.S. Foreign Agricul tura l Service to de- velop overseas markets for agricultural products. Weigold will represent the group in F A S negotiations.

During March Weigold is scheduled, as par t of a seminar on The Pr iva te Sector 's View of Foreign Agr icul tura l Training, to discuss with officers of the Foreign Economic Development Service DSI ' s role in arranging visits for da i ry industry trainees from overseas, briefing them about the U.S. dai ry industry, giving and arranging for technical service, and suggesting fur ther study.

productivi ty, has met several times. The com- mittee has reviewed plans and proposals for a nmjor da i ry equipped for handling reeom- blued and local milk and incorporat ing a bulk vending distr ibution system. Among committee members are DSI Board members Glen Lake and Carl E. Zurborg and DSI Managing Director G. W. Weigold.

New Products. A Canadian trade team re- turned from Europe convinced that if they want to sell in the European market they must develop new products, possibly following the system there of applying 2% of the sales dollar to development and 3-7% to advert is ing and product promotion.

New products are coming from other com- peti t ive areas. Coea-Cola has completed a licensing arrangement with a DSI member, Morinaga Milk Indus t ry Company in Tokyo, to produce their "~Iagic Ice," a frozen car- bonated sherbet. A DSI member in the U.S., Foremost Foods, has developed a whey con- centrate with 35% protein and with other food and industr ia l uses. U.S. Department of Agricul ture scientists have developed a new high-protein food with meat-like texture by f ry ing milk curd in deep fat . The U.S. Government is using 30% of nonfat solids in tons of egg mix which i t buys as a supple- ment for people with low incomes. Products developed wi th in the last 10 years, according to the Economic Research Service, account for 52% of food purchases. New Zealand will license some of its milk products free when used for aid programs.

Trade leads. Trade opportunities were sent to appropr ia te DSI members during Februa ry 1971 for a wide var ie ty of food products--- 2,000 metric tons of 12.5% fa t milk powder for Chile; a cheese p lant for Afr ica ; but ter for an 8,000-metric ton-a year importer in Iran, because Eastern European and USSR suppliers were unable to provide the but ter ; ]00 metric tons of but ter for Jordan; whole milk and steri l ized milk for Hong I~ong; 2,000 metric tons of feed grade nonfat dry milk for Switzer land; infant and dietetic foods for Nigeria and Germany; evaporated milk for Lebanon, Saudi Arabia , Bolivia and the Arab ian Gulf; na tura l cheese for processing in Cyprus; canned cheese for Yemen; and many types of foods and da i ry products for Lebanon. Some requests come to DSI directly, others through the U.S. Foreign Agricul tural Serv ice- -a l l are relayed to members the same day they are received.

Price support purchases and i~ventories. The U.S. Commodity Credit Corporation contracted in Februa ry to buy 36.5 million pounds of butter , 7.8 million pounds of cheese, and 28.2 million pounds of nonfat dry milk including 21.1 million pounds of instant nonfat dry milk. All purchases were made under the dairy price-support program. As of Feb rua ry i971, CCC had uncommitted inventories of 96.5 million pounds of butter , 5.5 million pounds of cheese, and 39.4 million pounds of nonfat dry milk.

Buyers conference scheduled. The USDA and the Super Market Ins t i tu te will sponsor a third Overseas Executive Food Buyers Center in Houston, Texas, May 2-5, 1971. Simulta- neous t ranslat ions will be in French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Food and Drug Administration Challenges Cholesterol Claims for Margarine

Cholesterol claims appearing in margarine advert isements would not be tolerated by the Food and Drug Adminis t ra t ion if it had jurisdict ion in this area according to Com- missioner Charles Edwards. I f s imilar claims were made on drug labels the F D A "would regard the products as misbranded" and would seize them, he states.

The F D A requires pharmaceutical manu- facturers to include a statement in every advert isement for prescript ion medicines that lower blood lipids. I t reminds physicians that i t has not been established whether drug- induced decreases in serum lipids have "a detrimental , a beneficial, or no effect on the morbidi ty or mor ta l i ty due to atherosclerosis or coronary heart disease. Several years will be required before current investigations can yield an answer to this question."

No caut ionary statements appear in ad- vertisements for foods that are alleged to lower blood lipids the same as drugs. How- ever, such advert is ing is under scrutiny by both the Food and Drug Adminis t ra t ion and the Federa l Trade Commission. The FTC has responsibi l i ty for food advertising. I t s in- vestigation is to determine i f a Fleischmann margarine advert isement and similar ones are violat ing any FTC statutes. The F D A has no jurisdict ion in this area and would not unless i t could t reat such foods legally as "drugs" promoted for the prevention of disease.

National Association of Animal Breeders To Celebrate Anniversary

Plans are being made for the Silver An- niversary Convention of The National As- sociation of Animal Breeders August 29- September 1, at the Nell House, Columbus, Ohio. Co-hosts are COBA, Inc., Colmnbus, O; Noba, Inc., Tiffin, 0 ; and Select Sires, Inc., Columbus. Convention co-chairmen are Richard Kellogg, COBA General Manager and Max Drake, Noba General Manager.

The three and one-half day program will feature numerous speakers of nat ional prom- inence discussing per t inent artificial insemina- tion indust ry and agricul tural topics. There will also be a time for reminiscing. Introduced at an "old t imer 's" get together Sunday evening, August 29, will be many persons who, in 1946, at tended the first meeting of AI managers and researchers at Tiffin, Ohio. This meeting ini t ia ted the idea which gave vent to organizing the National Association of Animal Breeders. On Tuesday convention guests will take a bus t r ip to Tiffin where a metal plaque will be ensconced into a boulder commemo- rating that first meeting which gave birth to NAAB.

The formal meeting will begin Monday, August 30, at 1:00 P~. Tuesday morning will be devoted to special workshop sessions by NAAB Committees. Tuesday afternoon will entail the Tiffin tr ip, re turning to COBA head- quarters that evening for a barbecue.

Wednesday will include feature speakers, committee reports and the business session with the election of two NAAB Directors. The Silver Anniversary Banquet will be that evening, with enter tainment by Ohio's famous Youth Choir. Featured banquet speaker will be one of the nation's top sports f igures-- "Woody" Hayes, head football coach at The Ohio State Universi ty for 20 years.

Friends of the A I industry are cordially invited to a t tend this memorable Silver An- niversary Convention.

Dr. H. A. Herman is executive secretary of NAAB, with nat ional offices in Columbia, Missouri.

Purebred Dairy Cattle Association Holds Annual Meeting

The objectives of the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association, and the best means to achieve these, were scrutinized by representat ives of the Association's member organizations at the 32nd Annual lV[eeting, held March 10 and 11 in Cleveland, Ohio~

The committee's repor t emphasized the need for PDCA and the involvement of all member associations in meaningful PDCA programs that apply to the total dai ry industry. Among their recommendations were the development of an aggressive and strong public relat ions and communication program; the appointment of a publ ic i ty committee; and the need for a stronger tie with State PDCA organizations by keeping them informed of the actions and programs adopted by the National PDCA.

The production testing committee endorsed the action of USDA in adopt ing age correc- tion factors based upon the average age of calving for all cows. The committee also emphasized the need for greater par t ic ipat ion by registered breeders in their local and state DHI organizations.

Jim Pound of the type and show committee reported on a questionnaire survey recently made of dairymen throughout the nation. The survey was directed to nonexhibitors at shows and was a pre l iminary step of the committee to study ways to change the format of present dai ry catt le shows and to increase attendance and breeder par t ic ipat ion at shows, including the possibi l i ty of production requirements for animals entered. Pound repor ted that near ly 50% of the dairymen surveyed had responded and that the results would be useful guide- lines for recommendations to be made by his committee this fall.

Resolutions unanimously adopted by the official delegates included urging the Federa l Extension Service to immediately appoint a permanent extension dairyman to strengthen the total s tructure of the D H I program.

A highlight of the annual meeting was the presentat ion of the 4-H Crested Clover Cita- tion to PDCA by the Cooperative Extension Service of USDA. The plaque presented to President Wil l iams by Dr. Kemp L. Swiney was inscribed "Presented to Purebred Dairy Cattle Association in appreciat ion of out- s tanding service in the 4-H program." The Citation read by Dr. Swiney commended PDCA for i ts support of the Annual National 4-H Dairy Conference over the past 16 years and for the assistance which member organiza- tions have given to 4-H work through Junior programs and assistance by fieldmen.

)£r. Phi l ip Schuyler of Cobleskill, New York, was elected new President of the as- sociation for a two year term. Dr. H a r r y Herman of Columbia~ Missouri, was elected as vice-president and I rv ing Nichols as secretary- treasurer.

It will be held July 11-16, 1971, at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, spon- sored by the Dairy Training and Merchandis- ing Institute.

The Academy, normally offered only in the spring and fall, is a merchandising program which helps dairy companies show super- markets how to increase dairy sales. The pro- gram is conducted for members of the Milk Industry Foundation and the International Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers.

The Academy provides new techniques to merchandise milk, frozen desserts, and other dai~ T products in food stores. Participants gain an understanding of the total operation of food stores, and learn new concepts of the role of dairy products and dairy departments. A computer program, designed especially for the course, tests merchandising decisions made by class participants.

Other features of the course include an analysis of customer traffic patterns and case layout, in which students conduct field studies in food stores; an analysis of factors affecting brand sales; a discussion of the shopper's viewpoint with a panel of housewives; amt discussion meetings with food store operators. Valuable study and case history ma.teriMs are given participants for use when they return to their company.

Details on the July session, plus registration forms may be obtained by writing the Dairy Training and Merchandising Institute, 910 17th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006.

Livestock Program Planned on Virginia Campus

Animal Industry Day, the largest educa- tional event for livestock people in Virginia, will be held July 23, 1971, on the Virginia Tech campus.

An outstanding program with emphasis on research, extension, and teaching projects in animal science is being planned, according to C. R. Cooper, assistant professor and exten- sion specialist in animal science. He is pro- gram chairman for the 1971 Animal Industry Day.

Two thousand people are expected to attend. A tour of the campus and the animal science JOURNAL OF DAIRY SOlENOE ~OL. 54, NO. 5

research facilities will be followed by dis- cussions on the latest information and prog- ress in swine, horses, sheep and beef cattle.

Livestock and related industry people are invited to attend. There is no charge for the day-long program, sponsored by the depart- ment of animal science in cooperation with other departments at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg.

Protein Malnutrition Linked to Mental Development

Experiments in recent years have linked protein malnutrition to mental development in children but the chemical mechanism has not been understood. New evidence suggests that protein malnutrition affects the brain's ability to produce sufficient norepinephrine, a neuro- transmitter or chemical agent that permits communication between neurons, or nerve cells. Norepinephrine is specifically believed to be associated with the brain's control of mood, blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar, gland function and part of the learning pro- cess. Some evidence suggests that in humans the effect may be reversible--that extreme protein deficiency and low norepinephrine can be corrected by a good protein diet if in- stituted early in life.
