FROZEN DESSERT
PRODUCTS TESTED
Improvement in Quality Is
Noted By State Health
Dept. Officials

Frozen dessert products sold In
Connecticut have shown marked
improvement In general quality, &C.
cording to Friend Lee Mickle, Sc. D.,
director, and Caryl G. Carson, as
siStant director, who reported in
the weekly broadcast of the State
Department Of Health that less than
two per cent Of ice cream, ice milk
and frozen custard samples eX-
anhined last year in the Bureau of
Laboratories were below standard for
milk fat and only a few products
were found deficient in other in
gradients.
Standards and definitions for sew
eral classes of frozen products SINH
lar to ice cream have been es-
tablished by state law. Each kind
must be properly labeled. For sew
eral years, samples collected from
all dealers in the state by inspectors
WORKING under the Dairy and Food
Commissioner have been examined
by laboratory methods to check the
amounts of various ingredients and
prevent the sale of inferior products
These tests are made for milk fat,
egg yolk, milk solids and bacteria.
Often an examination is made to de-
tect ice creac containing excessive
amounts of air. Fat and milk solids
in Ice cream must be kept well above
the minimum legal figure for an
appealing product of good quality
and texture.
1t was pointed out that until a
few years ago. when the law defined
frozen custard as essentially ice
cream with at least Is per cent of
egg yolk solids added. these des-
serts contained little egg yolk. The
Connecticut law requires at least
10 per cent milk fat in plain ice
cream: in nut or fruit ice cream this
may legally only be 8 per cent. A
milk ice must contain between 3 per
cent and 10 per cent milk fat. An ice
or a sherbet contains no milk fat
or milk solids while a milk sherbei
may contain up to per cent milk
| solids.

CANADA FACING
WAR WITH n. {.
Official Ban on Travelling
in U. S. Brings Spirited
Protest

Boston, July 10.-The action of
Canadian authorities ito conserve
American exchange for urgent war
purposes" by prohibiting Canadian
pleasure travel into the United
States this summer today brought
vigorous protest from Glenwood j.
Sherrard, chairman of the New
England Councils Recreation De-
velopment committee.
In a telegram to Bruce Mac
Nance, chief of the United States
Travel Bureau, Washington, D. c.,
Mr.. Sherrard stated Substantial
proportion of New England's annual
vacation business comes from Ca
madam visitors. Recent Canadian
monetary regulations which elimi-
nate Canadian pleasure travel in the
United States will have extremely
adverse effect upon New England
vacation business this summer. Urge
that the United States Travel Blu
reau make strong protest to proper
Canadian authorities with view of
securing modification of restrictions
impeding normal flow of Canadian
pleasure travel into the United
States this summer"
d. Leo Dolan, director of the Ca
madam Travel Bureau. Ottawa, de-
clared in statement to the Council
that the Canadian Foreign Ex-
change Control Board considered 1t
necessary Ito conserve American ex-
change in Canada for urgent war
purposes by prohibiting Canadians
from using this exchange for vaca-
ton purposes in the United States =
Tourist expenditures by Cana
dams in this country have amounted
to nearly $l00,000,00o annually"
Sherrard declared in announcing the
Councils action. "A large part Of
this has been spent in New Eng
land. This drastic decree made nee
essary by Canadas belligerency
comes as blow to New England's
vacation industry. Hundreds OF New
England resorts large and small,
have derived a substantial portion
OF their income from Canadian va
cationists. In the event the Cana
dian authorities find 1t impossible
to relax the restrictions, New Eng
lands vacation industry will suffer
a real loss this season. More than
ever before we must collectively pro.
mote to our own people the advan-
tages Of New England as preferred
vacation land"
