ICE CREAM is IN
THE SERVICE TOO

Among the many grim stories o.
hunger and torture that have come
to us from the Bataan Peninsula
are a few bright spots. One ol
these was the pleasant experience
recited by Lieutenant John d,
Buckley, concerning, the discov-
cry of a nourishing and refreshing
supply of ice cream mix. In his
book "They We're dependable" he
paid high tribute to this popular
food with the statement, Zone high
spot in our diet was supplied by
the "Canopus'-among it's stores
were barrels of ice cream mix. The
skipper let anyone in the navy who
came aboard eat all the ice cream
he wanted"
Another tribute to this popular
known war correspondent, Stanley
Johnston. In describing the last
hours on the Lexington, he states,
THAT little episode of men in the
shadow of death, enjoying their ice
cream, sticks most sharply in my
memory" Also, Ed. Wallace, in
his widely publicized story describ-
ing fourteen days at sea in a life
boat, graphically painted the value
of ice cream in maintaining NOR
ale in his vivid description of the
mental agonies of that little cast
away group: Il could see the
white-haired druggist who scoop
ed up the ice cream balls and
spurted fizz into the tall glass, the
way he smiled at us kids hanging
over the fountain"
Quick energy value combined
with cool, refreshing qualities and
high protective values make ice
cream a most important food, and
give it the popularity which it
holds among the armed forces, ac-
cording to the National Dairy
Council.
His favorite food is ice cream"
is stated of General George Mar
shall and can be said with equal
emphasis of hundreds of thousands
of men in uniform today. Evidence
of the esteem with which this food
is held by the nations fighting
forces is to be found in almost ev-
cry army camp, post exchange, rec
reation center, and USO hut in the
country.
