They cover many controversial issues such as milk purity and standards, pasteurisation and other milk treatment processes, rationing during war time, private versus government and local authority control of supply and distribution, and tuberculosis and herd testing. They reflect public opinions through letters to the Editor and local government views through reports from city and county councils.
