Early Life INSIGHT
THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

As she had been in high
school, Jemison was very
involved in extracurricular activities at Stanford,
including dance and
theater productions, and
served as head of the
Black Student Union.
She received a Bachelor
of Science degree in
chemical engineering
from the university in
1977. Upon graduation,
she entered Cornell
University Medical
College and, during her
years there, found time
to expand her horizons
by studying in Cuba and
Kenya and working at
a Cambodian refugee
camp in Thailand. After
she obtained her M.D. in
1981, Jemison interned
at Los Angeles County/
University of Southern
California Medical Center and later worked as a
general practitioner.

Fourteen years ago Price’s Dairy was started with
12 cows. Through various stages this plant has
grown to a big concern with 185 cows, modern
milking machines, pasteurizing machinery and a
big delivery system. Owing to the public demand
for better and more sanitary milk, leading dairies
over the country have installed machinery to bring
about this end. It is true that this increased care
raises the price of milk slightly to the consumer.
But when it is considered that milk is the sole food
of babies, a large part of the diet of invalids, and a
considerable portion of the food of grown-ups, it
is readily seen that no one would care to return to
the days of unclean milking and haphazard methods of handling milk. Price’s Dairy has quite recently installed modern milking machines. So that
now at no time does the milk come in contact with
the human hand at this plant. Says Robert Price,
manager of the dairy; “We desire to rank with the
foremost dairies in the country. Our aim is to give
our patrons a milk that is as pure, wholesome and
sanitary as it is humanly possible to produce. For
that reason we installed some time ago a Rice and
Adams Pasteurized in the Bottle pasteurizer. For
the same reason we later installed modern milking
machines.” This milk, in addition to being the best
milk to use for the home, is especially adapted to
over the counter trade. End
