COVERING OF MILK
Trucks To Have Canopies Christchurch milk trucks are to have canopies. The Christchurch Metropolitan Milk Board yesterday approved grants of £4O to each milk vendor towards the cost of a canopy. The cost to the board is expected to be not more than £5OOO. and all the trucks are expected to be covered by the end of August The board is also considering publicity to make milk buyers aware of the dangers of leaving milk exposed to sunlight.
The chairman of the board 'Mr G. D. Hattaway) said that the cost to the board of marking bottles to indicate the dangers would be £lOOO for 70.000 bottles The bottles had a life of only about two months, so that at the end of that time there would be nothing to show for the £lOOO. Mr P J. Skellerup said that there was little use in covering the milk trucks if customers left the milk exposed to sunlight, which destroyed the effect of pasteurisation. The board decided that one of its committees should consider the question. Blood Donors.— There were 16’6 donors when the Blood Transfusion Service’s mobile unit visited Lincoln College recently. Ninety-one of these were new donors.
