Therefore milk sampling has continued along those lines which have been
considered to provide such safeguards against deterioration of the product as
are thought adequate.

SchooI Milk
During the year six schools within the Borough being supplied by one of
the milk distributing companies changed from a bottled to a cartoned milk
supply.
A survey was conducted with the object of obtaining information which
might throw some light on a reported claim that children were not drinking
their school milk since it had been supplied in cartons, because of the taste
of wax
School principals who were interviewed were naturally watching the
Changeover' with interest and had some constructive criticism to offer, but
the general opinion was that the advantages of cartoned milk far outweighted
the disadvantages, and nothing was discovered which could justify the statement
that because of the taste of wax children were not drinking their milk, - in
fact at two schools milk consumption had increased
The laboratory report on the examination of school cartoned milk showed
no foreign wax or hydrocarbons, and no foreign taint was detectable by smell or
taste.
