French Fries at the_

mittee' That's what
happens in Middlesex Coun-
ty'
School trustees have ap-
proved a change in school
cafeteria price schedules
"to clarify the serving size
for French Fries as an
average serving of 5.4
ounces when cooked." Small
potatoes for a school board
which handles such weighty
matters as declining
enrolments and spending
millions of dollars. you say"
That's only half the slice.

the trustees by • their

mittee. An academic issue'.
Yes. a very serious one.
You 'see, the Ontario
Secondary School Teachers
Federation - the teachers'
union - has a "committee on
mutual concern*" which
hashes over matters of com-
mon interest with school
trustees. That concerned
committee met recently
with the academic affairs
committee and you guessed
it .. . first item is a report
from Director of Education
John Gummow on .French
Fries'
"The report noted that the
10 ounces -referred to in the
price schedule are unpeeled.
When peeled and klanched.
• the -10 ounces become ap-
proxinSateiy".5.4 ounces'
There is also complaints
concerning the quality of the
French Fries". the com-
mittee report says.
Here's the new price
schedule: French Fries (5.4
oz. cooked) - 35 cents. Gravy
- 5 cents extra.
Then the mighty academic
affairs and mutual concerns
committees went on to
tastier business. such as sur-
plus and redundant
teachers'!
Oh yes. !that new schedule
represents a five -cent reduc-
tion for the shrunken fries
and the board's purchasing
manager will"be ordered to
try to restore some flavour
to those peeled and blanched
spuds. It's more than

keeps us away from God.
