People eat less ice cream in January than in October, so there will be a substantial amount available. You can regard this supply of rich, wholesome ice cream as a serious contribution to your family's war diet, both for grand morale effect and for important nutritional values.

For not only does ice cream give you a share of your butter-fat requirements, including precious vitamin but its milk solids also contribute much to your daily nutritional needs. You get milk proteins of high quality, valuable calcium, phosphorus and other minerals, fhiamin, riboflavin and other food elements essential to vigorous health. Even though flavors are necessarily limited, we believe you will find an appealing selection at a convenient store in your neighborhood. We will make regular deliveries of fresh supplies during each week this month. So, if your favorite is occasionally sold out, your dealer will have it again in a day or so.

Supplee-Wills-Jones Milk Company. Ice cream for many years has been America's favorite dairy food. And nowhere has its traditional goodness been more celebrated than in the area served by your own dairy firm, Supplee. Now that we are in a total war, everything we buy must be analyzed for its relation to the war effort. Many parts of the food picture have changed almost overnight.

So with ice cream. There may be some who have thought of ice cream as a delicacy, occasional treat or just a fill-in. Today we know it is a vital food. Because ice cream contains, in considerable quantity, butter-fat. And butter-fat, with its unmatched content of vitamin as you know, becomes a strategic material in wartime, second almost to the vital metals that make our planes and guns.

From the "stockpile" of all the available butter-fat in America, in all of the forms of milk products that contain it, must now come not only the basic requirements of your family and all American but all the needs of our enormous, rapidly increasing armies, of our underfed fighting allies, of the helpless people we rescue from the Dictators' sentence of starvation. That is why the War Production Board has limited the amount of ice cream to be made this month. While butter-fat and milk solids available fer ice cream in PARTY AT HOSPITAL Members of the General W. W. Atterbury Post, No.
