The 130 Ralphs supermarkets throughout Southern California will begin putting the pictures of missing children on milk cartons, officials announced. The program will involve all the chain’s California markets, which sell 400,000 half-gallons of its brand of milk weekly. The project is just one of several launched in recent weeks by Assemblyman Gray Davis (D-Los Angeles) and grocers throughout the state designed to find some of the 1,600 youngsters listed in the California Registry of Missing Children. Ralphs joins several other supermarket chains and dairies in Western states that have agreed to start putting pictures of missing children on milk cartons and shopping bags.
