EDITORS COMMENTS
Milk Truckers: Your Vigilance Saves Lives! - During the 1930s, ensuring the safety and health of the nation's milk supply was a top priority. In this era before widespread refrigeration and pasteurization, milk was a valuable source of nutrition, but also a potential carrier of communicable diseases. This powerful poster, created between 1936 and 1940, reminds milk truck drivers of their crucial role in maintaining the milk supply chain and protecting public health. The image shows a milk truck, labeled with the words "Milk Route," progressing along a country road. The truck's cab is adorned with a large red cross, symbolizing the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) role in regulating the milk industry. The poster's stark, bold design grabs the viewer's attention with its urgent message: "Milk truckers do not! pick up milk at farms where there are cases of diphtheria, scarlet fever, infantile paralysis, spinal meningitis, smallpox, typhoid." The bottom of the poster urges drivers to "Report all cases on your route to the nearest Health Department or FDA office." This call to action was essential for preventing the spread of diseases and ensuring the safety of the milk supply. The poster's text ends with a reminder that "Your progress and the progress of the nation depend on it." This poster is a testament to the importance of public health awareness and the critical role that individuals, such as milk truck drivers, played in protecting the health and well-being of their communities during this time. The image is a valuable historical artifact that highlights the progress made in food safety and public health during the 20th century.
