The supply of milk to Bchools in cartons has
been introduced and observations have been made
regarding the hygiene of the system. Very few complaints
have been received and those which were made
generally related to the disposal of the empty cartons,
misuse of the cartons by the school children and the
nuisance arising from the deposit of cartons in the
roadway and in front gardens ofhouses adjacent to the
schools. Furthermore ithasbeen noticed that some of
the cartons have split, thereby causing possible contamination
of other cartons in the lower containers;
as a result representations have been made to the
suppliers on this point. The system has, however,
had one pleasing effect - the number of complaints
of foreign bodies in milk bottles has been eliminated
in those schools where the milkis supplied in cartons.
Generally speaking there are no objections to the
system from a milk supply viewpoint, but the introduction
of abetter system for the disposal of cartons
would improve matters considerably. 11
