Other strikes had throttled other supply arteries. There was little salt, window glass, and no milk bottles. The output of soap, rayon, pulp and chemicals was down to a trickle. Without counting steel, the loss to production was staggering. In the first seven months of 1946, strikes cost Canada 2,544.581 man-days (v. 128,208 in the same period of 1945). And some 21,000 workers, in addition to the 11,000 in steel, had been on strike in rubber, mines and in the copper, brass and electrical industries for from ten to 17 weeks. All these major disputes...
G.I.s overseas in wartime had two pet chow-line peeves: 1) powdered milk, 2) powdered eggs. Last week, at the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Chicago, the combination was hailed as a lifesaver. The reason: thousands of G.I. ex-prisoners of the Germans might have died in U.S. rehabilitation camps but for the discovery that the stomach of a starving man, which rejects meat, cheese or whole milk, can accept much-needed protein in its blandest form...
Reported Dr. Herbert Pollack of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital, formerly the Army's chief medical consultant in the ETO: the powdered-milk-&-egg mixture, which is 50% whole protein, was fed to 92,000 liberated G.I.s, of whom 40% were suffering from severe malnutrition, and another 40% were undernourished. Only eight died (a few others were killed by kindness when sympathetic soldiers and civilians threw them indigestible foods as they rode westward from Germany). Wounded and post-operative patients, fed this same bland mixture, were up & about in a third less time than had been customary. Pollack...
...cattle-two bulls, two cows-chewed their cuds last week in a New Jersey cow barn. They were the first Indian cattle to enter the U.S. since 1924. When sufficiently rested from a plane-ship-plane journey, they would start a major breeding project: begetting cows to bulge with milk on the humid, hot Gulf Coast...
...dairy cattle neither thrive nor give much milk in damp, semitropical climates. In Florida and Louisiana, the milk flow of Jerseys, Guernseys and other familiar breeds falls off as much...
