PENNY PINCHING SCHOOL TRUSTEE HARRISONFOILED AGAIN As it is well known to theExecutive of the Chamber of Commerce of which Mr.C.W. Harrison is treasurer, Mr. Harrison is an abso-lute miser when it comes to the:care and handling cfother people's money.

As to be expected, after sitting through many adull meeting, the regular DRIFTWOOD reporter miss-ed an enjoyable little episode that occurred at theSept. 11 meeting. It seems, that Mr. Harrison, at theconclusion of his financial report, had the temerityto suggest that the Trustee's expense allowance forthe forthcoming Trustee Convention to be held inVictoria was just too much. He stated that he hadgone into the costs of hotel accommodation, meals,etc. and felt that the following allowances for thethree day convention for each trustee should be ad-equate: if a trustee is taking his wife or her husband-$160, if going by himself or herself-$120.

To the surprise and consternation of all present,Mr. Harrison immediately put this in the form of amotion and he gained a seconder. However, this cr-afty and presumably premeditated maneuver by MserHarrison did not outwit the other trustees. They quick-ly took up the cudgel and beat Ola1 Shylock and hismiserable motion to a pulp.

One trustee, stated flatly that the amount sugg-ested by Mr. Harrison was totally inadequate to pro-vide the way of travelling to which he end his wifeare accustomed. After a lively few minutes an amend-ed motion was put forward recommending that eachtrustee attending would get the same amount as lastyear with no differential whether one takes a spouseor not. Last year, with the convention being held inVancouver, the allowance was $200 per trustee. Pre-sumably with austerity or cost-of-living increases,staid old Victoria will be just as expensive as Vanc-

ouver. The amended motion went through with oneabstention* Who else, but old tight-wad Harrisonhimself, battle*scarred, broken and beaten but notbowed. ,
