" At the Presidio in San Francisco, as in all other army camps and naval stations, the fighting forces c our nation have the opportunity to enjoy milk and otter health-giv-::-.rt dairy products. h this historical histori-cal army post which outdates the revolutionary war and which serves as headquarters for the Ninth Army Air Corps area, 6,000 milk shakes and 7,500 ice cream sodas and a la carte servings of ice cream are consumed con-sumed daily in addition to milk and ' dairy products in other forms. "The food the soldiers receive today to-day is, to a large degree, responsible respon-sible for the greatly improved health conditions among our fighting forces." states Wilton Hult, President Presi-dent of the National Dairy Council. For the first time, since the revolutionary revolu-tionary war, fresh milk is a part of the regular army diet. Butter and cheese, neither of which were available avail-able in revolutionary war times, are also prescribed as a part of the regular reg-ular diet for our soldiers. Ice cream is made available at least once or twice a week whenever possible. |
