ICE-CREAM SUPPLY
WAIRARAPA SCHOOL
PROPOSAL FAVOURED
(Special to the "Evenlno Post.")
MASTERTON, This Day
A proposal put forward the other day by Mr T. A. Russell, Borough Sanitary Inspector, that school children should be supplied with icecream has been favourably received. Mr. W. R. Nicol. chairman of the Wairarapa Milk Committee, favours the proposal and considers that the supply of ice-cream would be well worth trying as an experiment. He pointed out that it would cost about £3000 to provide the necessary equipment to enable milk to be supplied to the school children under the desired conditions, whereas it should be possible to handle ice-cream much more cheaply than that. He intended to discuss the matter with Mr. J. Robertson, M.P. If the proposal is adopted there is no question as to its popularity with the children.
In making the suggestion in the iirst place, Mr. Russell said ice-cream had a richer food value than milk, it was readily digested, children liked it, it was easy to store and distribute, and there was no waste.
