BASKETS FOR MILK BOTTLES
SCHEME TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS “The Press" Special Service AUCKLAND, April 20. Wire baskets for carrying milk bottles were shown to members of the Auckland Metropolitan > Milk Board at its meeting. The board wants the baskets to be marketed to reduce the number of accidents caused by broken bottles. Last month, the board received ,a letter from Mr Barclay Innes, general and orthopaedic surgeon at the Middlemore Hospital, ‘who mentioned the number or children in the hospital with cut tendons in their wrists after having fallen on milk bottles. The board has tried to interest firms in manufacturing the baskets and the secretary, Mr N. R. Chapman, produced two baskets to hold four, pint bottles and one to hold two pint bottles. As the board itself cannot market the baskets, it wants to support their manufacture. The baskets shown would sell for about Is 6d. Members suggested baskets for quart bottles might also reduce accidents.
