Dear Editor:

Upon .reading Mr. Dick-
~son’s column (Inquiring
Reporter Feb. 16) on the
_ ‘new’ plastic milk bags I had.
- to write this letter. Being
from Quebec, I’ve had these
plastic bags for at least three
years, so they aren’t new to
ome.

Tm in favor ‘of them. First
of ali I find they are not
_ weak, having dropped_them
.. many times. Secondly, the
: bags were meant to be
~ placed in a container, other-
wise they wouid collapse.
The pitcher, which is. avail.
. able, has an easy grip
handle. I’ve seen too many
kids drop large cardboard
cartons.

. About this leaking bit, I’ve

~ never been to the store to
buy ‘cardboard cartons’
without seeing a milk puddle
. under half the cartons.
