Note found this on internet-
June 3, 1946, in The Star: Postwar shortages are right now affecting a critical consumer item in Anniston, so there’s the possibility that families might be without milk in the near future. Yet it’s not the milk that’s in short supply, it’s the bottles. So short has the supply of bottles become that Calhoun County dairies are afraid they will soon be unable to sell milk, or will have to ask customers to come to a central distribution point to pick it up. The problem is that bottles are simply not being delivered by manufacturers. For these reasons, commercial dairies in this locality are today launching a campaign to collect all stray bottles from all over Calhoun County; it’s estimated that hundreds are lying around in garages, basements and pantries. Every housewife can help in this campaign. Also this date: The U.S. Supreme Court today decided in a 6-1 vote that a state cannot require segregation of white and black passengers in buses that cross state lines. The decision was issued on appeal from a Virginia Supreme Court ruling. The U.S. court concluded that a Virginia statute requiring bus drivers to segregate the races imposes an undue burden on interstate commerce. Otherwise, there is no federal act that applies to seating arrangements on interstate transportation.
