Milk Samplers To
Make [Taste Test
By H. T. WRIGHT^ !
Approximately 300 people have been invited to attend
a “Milk Tasting’’ this afternoon from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m.
in the laboratory bf the A&M Creamery, A. V. Mooke, of the
Dairy Husbandry Department, announced today.
The purpose, of this Milk Tasting is to determine
4 if people can really t tell the dif
ference between raw milk and pas
teurized milk. 1 ■ |. M
For many years raw milk was
sold in College’ Station, and' in
1946 a city ordinance was passed
to the effect that all milk had to
be pasteurized before it could be
offered for sale. Complaints arose
from all parts, of the city against
this ordinance, but nothing was
done about • it. The residents of
Cbllege Station wanted raw milk,
and this is theii 1 opportunity to de
termine if there is any difference.
'• Moore, who has Jbeen teaching
dairy production work for many
years, said, “Moat people do not
the ability to tell the dif
ference between raw and pas
teurized milk at first, but after
considerable practice, they de
velop the ability to distinguish
between the two.’’
In 1945 a survey, was taken with
nineteen students. Of this nine
teen, three were able !to disting
uish between -fche two types of
milk. >«a v /
This survey will be made on a
larger scale with people of all
ages, male and female, and should
present a more complete picture
than any previous survey made
here. i
The survey will be conducted
.in such a manner that it will
keep people from guessing. There
will be three samples to taste
and a possible three answers,
raw, pasteurized, or “can’t tell.”
Moore will be in charge of the
survey and C,, B. Godbey, 6f the
Genetics Department, will make
the statistical analysis.
People sometimes object to
attending surveys of this type,
because they believe their opin-
■ ion would not be of value, but
everyone’s opinion is desired,
Moore said. {
Moore stated that everyone is
invited to this Milk Tasting and
there will be plenty of milk for
all. . / . • ; •

a satirical humorist who has even
been cotnpared with Mark Twain
by The Salt Lake Tribune when he
appeared at the University of
Utah.
Scott was taught piano by his
mother when he was a child. In his
later years he has taken the child
hood mistakes that' he used tp
make and has combined them with
other mimickry to form a show
that no one ever forgets.
The genial Scott usually “wows”
his audience from the moment he
walks out on the stage. His act
was described in Life Magazine as
the funny man with the piano.
His rapid routine includes such
numbers as “Chopin in the Citrus
Belt” (played first with an
orange and then a grapefruit in
his right hand) and “Little Boy
Genius Grows Up” in which he
follows the progress „of a spoil

the time of his first public ap
pearance at the age of five
through the age of:92, still hit

His program also includes im

Juba' Dance, Impressions of a
great concert pianist complete with
flowing wig and exaggerated man
nerism; the History of the Lost
