waste ice, says the United States
Food Administration. Its use as
a luxury to serve with salads,
fruit, and sea foods and to put
more than is necessary in glasses

There is t. be no curtailment on
the use Of ice as a necessity, but it
should be used carefully in locali-

ted. It is considered necessity
when used to preserve food and in

see that families are supplied with
