Turkheim said one of the students indicated the council could realize a $5,000 profit from the sale of grapefruit and orariges which, he 'said, was, competition "The business should go to the food stores andit is wrong to let students compete with them," he claimed. = "They are taking a • lot .of business away from the local businessman and that can hurt the stores." Goderich and Colborne Township trustee, Shirley Hazliti, asked what the difference was in selling fruit, candy or chocolate bars. "It just isn't fair," Turkheim retorted. "They are paying for the students through taxes. and then they get com- petition ' from the students." • Director of Educatiori, John Cochrane, said the board policy dictates that students must give' fair value, for money received. And in that respect, he said, the sale of grapefruits and oranges is legal. Hazlitt told trustees that curtailing student involvement in fund raising ventures was not the answer. "We want them 'to h4ye initidtiive but we keep eliminating things for • them to do. • What's left?" Turkheim said that distributors talk student councils into the :proposition and take the money out of the corn; rnunjty. He introduced a motion to review the policy of selling but it was defeated by a narrow •margin. Board vice.-chairman, John Henderson, said that _vending machines fall into the same ,category.
