Board chairman, Barbara Hi man told the Mitchell delegation that alternatives were looked at before the library Celback was made. The policy, she said "was an effort to more equitably distribute a limited resource aeross the county so that more children would have access to it." Mrs. Herman agreed there would be some reduction, in, 'service to.the Milthell library but added "I don't think it will -be as drastic as you portray."

Because of this, it is often difficulat to distinguish be- tween canvassers represen- ting non-profit charities from those selling for profit mak- ing ventures. , Organizations may try' to sell you household goods, such as' light bulbs or gar- bage bags by telling you the, proceeds will go towards helping the handicapped. Only a small portion of the' money .you pay for the pro- duct actually does to to the handicapped and the pro ducts' are often poorly-made and overpriced. Doubtful Again, if you are doubtful about a company, phone the London office of the Ministry of Consumer and Con- mercial Relations in London at 679-7150. Although an organization may show you their federal income tax registration, this isn't any guarantee that the Operation is legitimate. Also, be su,spicious of any organi- ,kation that admits a large portion of its money goes for operating costs., • Legitimate charities don't mind answering questiong. By being a cautious donor who asks questions, phony charities won't take your dollars. Watch, out for phony charities at Christmas cards, through the mails at this time of year. The cards are accompanied by ,a, letter - asking you to send money to pay .for the items. . Don't Pay If you didn't order the cards, you are under no obligation to pay for them. You may keep the cards, destroy them or return them at the sender's expense. Unethical operators,. are competing for 'the public's dollar in other ways as well-. ConsuMers are advised to be wary of any kind of telephone solicitation. Ticket sales, are often handled by teenagers• work- Ing for a low hourly late or, else fast-talking profes-, signals on commission. The callers say. they repre- sent non-profit charitable groups, 'but in fact often 10 per cent or less of the money they raise is ever actually turned over to charity.. • If you buy a ticket or make a donation in response to a telephone, solicitation, the' calls from telephone solicit- ors may continue. Your name and the amount given will be , written on a "tap card" and these are often sold to other arganizations. . ' • If you receive a telephone call asking for money, ask for the name of the caller and the 'address of his or her employer, including the tele- phone humber. If you still ' question whether the caller is working for a legitimate charity, then ask that the request for, funds be made in writing. Other phony charitable groups canvass door to doer, in shopping centres or on the street, .selling everything from chocolate. bars to light bulbs.

He also said it would be a shame, to see all the 'work that's been done by the librarian over the yeasts just turned over to volunteers. Foster said' he could pie. titre _boxes of .uneatalogues books sitting in' the library, with students having net access to them. He"' quoted from past newspaper arti- cles which had recorded comments by trustees Ron Bctyce and Earl Oppen'hauser to the effect that the board of education has become too: remote, too far removed from par ents in the community.
