New North Carolina Law to Prohibit Unauthorized Possession of Milk Crates Durham, NC—Unauthorized possession of the colorful, plastic milk crates, used by dairies to transport milk, will be against the law in North Carolina, effective Jan. 1, 1990. The versatile cases often are used by col lege students for bookcases and pieces of furniture.

Posters encouraging students to return cases to local dairies or grocery stores will be distributed soon to col lege and university residence halls Your Letters Wanted Do you have a complaint?

Effective Jan. 1, 1990, North Carolina statute (GS 14-72.4) makes the unauthorized possession of milk cases a misdemeanor punishable by a $300 fine and/or imprisonment. Nearly a million milk cases were borrowed, stolen or misappropriated in North Carolina and Virginia dairies during the past year at cost of $2 million to the industry, and eventually the consumer. Often used as furniture, file boxes or storage bins, the crates are lost to a public attitude that they are free for the taking. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” according to Carolina/Virginia Dairy Products Assn. President Phillip Holder of pet Inc. in Charlotte. “These cases are a major expense to dairies, and the magnitude of the loss is hurting every dairy in the country.” According to a national survey, there are $250 nillon worth of crates missing across the country. There have been no national, uniform solu tions to the problem. Prior to this new legislation, milk case theft in the states was a misde meanor under general theft statutes. With passage of the tougher legisla tion, North Carolina joins the rank of a number of other states, combining concentrated enforcement efforts and publicity campaigns to try to recover crates and control losses. The law applies only to milk crates bearing the name of the owner, not plastic crates purchased in department store or elsewhere; however, defacing or removing the identification mark is also illegal. Cases should be returned to a local dairy or neighborhood grocery store, said Holder. No questions will be ask ed through Dec. 31, 1989.

Dear Zoey, I’m a freshman here at college. It’s the first time I’ve been away from home. I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Right before I arrived here, I met the most perfect guy back home, but I don’t want to sit in my dorm alone every night. What should I do? Helpless and Homesick Dear Helpless, It’s rough being away from home for the first time. But, you can have a good time with guys that are just friends. There’s nothing wrong with that. If the guy back home means so much to you, then simple friendships shouldn’t interfere. Besides, he most likely dates girls as friends. Just make sure you have an understanding that you both can agree on. Good luck and have a great year. Zoey Dear Zoey, A bunch of friends and I were out to a party at UNC Wilmington. We were all pretty much loaded. I wasn’t sup posed to drive, but the driver, along with everyone else, was drinking. So, I drove back to Murfreesboro. I almost got us all killed, along with the inno cent mother and baby in another car. Please tell the readers how dangerous it is to drink and drive. Anonymous Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your letter. It is very dangerous to drink and drive. First of all, it’s illegal. It’s also the third leading cause of death. If you find that you have to drink, then please don’t drive. Have a designated driver or drink at a place where you can stay all night.
