There was nothing but good to report of the U.S. larder. "Plentiful supplies of most foods are in prospect. . . . More ice cream, cheese, condensed and evaporated milk, fluid cream, canned vegetables and fresh and frozen fish will be available. . . . Eggs and fluid milk will continue plentiful. . . . Chicken, turkey, fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen and dried fruits, potatoes and sweet potatoes and cereal products will continue substantially the same. . . .

Center Max Bentley, just out of the Army, is quite a dipsy-doodle artist with a hockey stick; his brother Doug is a deadly shot; Bill Mosienko is perhaps the fastest man on ice.
