Students Suggest Itchy
Powder' To Stop Thieves
Thieves steeling "»>* cues could
be ought morally “red-hendecT if
one student’s problem-solving sug
gestion to put “itchy powder” on in
dividual crates was enacted.
People attempting to steal the
plastic or metal cases could be scared
off by burglar alarms installed on
each crate or guard dags posted out
side grocery stores.
: These recommendations were
among the more Imaginative solu
tions devised by students in North
Carolina participating in an assay
contest sponsored ny tne urornii*
Virginia Dairy Products Association.
Students were asked to offer solu
tions on how to stop the misuse and
misappropriation of milk cases in
North Carolina. Disappearing milk
cases cost the dairy industry in North
Carolina and.tbe neighboring state of
Virginia approximately $3 million
each year.
Hitt is delivered in attractive
metal or plastic cases, each of which
holds six to U cartons of mitt. Hie
are also practical for otter uses in
home, office, dormitory, werkshopor
even classroom. Many people do not
realise that theft of these cases is
against the law, and punishable by
fines and/or imprisonment.
CVDPA sponsored the contest to
seek practical and original ideas to
stem.the problem, which ctdsts
across the nation.
Otter recommendations
selling cases to the public to recover
costs, using less attractive colors or
altering the design of crates to make
them lea appealing to thieves.
Some suggested raising public
awarsnem of the problem by laun
ching a campaign of advertisements
on mitt and Juice cartou, commer
cials at the begisniag of moviu and
■ingulf on h»»*ipef stickers.
Many of the proposals would make
retail stores more responsible for the
cases by Imnoeind on each
crate or offering rebate incentives to

Together they stood
and saved their company
When Dr. Bill Picard took over Regal Plastics in
1985 it was bankrupt. He gambled on his own vision and
some valuable human resources he identified within the
company itself to save the situation. He assembled a busi
ness team,motivated them to work together, and together
they’ve brought the company back.
General Motors stood by Regal Plastics during the
dark times and today they are a major supplier of in jection
molded parts to some 25 plants producing our new cars
and trucks. At General Motors we believe that standing
behind the people who buy our Chevrolets, Pontiacs,
Oldsmobiles, Buicks, Cadillacs and GMC Trucks is more
than just a corporate responsibility—it’s good business.
GENERAL MOTORS
We never forget
who’s driving.
