WASTEFUL MILK-ROUNDS
SIR,—The Government have made tentative moves to rationalise the retail distribution of milk, but there is unfortunately a small, though active, body of retailers who vigorously oppose any such attempt and also a very dumb and apathetic public. However, this body of retailers appears to be able to muzzle the local Press; in far one of our papers here will not print anything I may write to them on this subject. In this town of so,000 people, there are 50 independent milk retailers, and every purchaser of a pint of milk has to pay for the doubtful pleasure of 50 different milk vans running up and down his road daily. When and if the distributors in any one town are .re- duced to two, it is essential that each of them should have facillue for pasteurising his milk. The British Medical Association no advises everyone who cannot buy pasteurised milk to boil the ravl milk. Perhaps ultimately we shall remove the stigma of having th dearest milk of any country in Europe.—Yours faithfully,
