CRASH LANDING FOR
MILK DELIVERY HERE
An unscheduled milk delivery
took place this morning near St.
Ann’s hospital, shortly before 9
o’clock.
It all happened when Tony Riess,
driver of a Juneau Dairies milk
truck, turned the corner at Sixth
and Gold to drive down to the side
entrance of the hospital. He applied
his brakes but nothing happened
Gold over the sheet of glare ice,
except the truck skidded down
Gold over the sheet of glare ice,
gathering momentum until it hit
and nearly sheared off a red fire
plug at the corner of Gold and
Fifth, scattering milk bottles and
crates in every direction.
Soon a knot of passing school
children and adults gathered while
Tony swept up the broken bottles.
Some wag was overheard to say,
“No use crying over spilled milk.”
