Ice Cream:
Under the provisions of S.R.&.0.1944, No.1280, which
revoked the Ice-cream (Prohibition of Manufacture and Sales) Order,
1942, the manufacture and sale of Ice-cream with skimmed milk powder
became permissible after the 15th November, 1944. Very little Icecream
was in fact made or sold within the area during the remainder
of the year, owing to the season and to the difficulties in obtaining
the necessary ingredients.
