The place of origin of some of the apples being distributed in Dominion schools was the subject of good-hum-oured discussion at the annual meeting of the Canterbury Fruitgrowers' Association. The president (Mr B. T. Turner) was recalling the association's efforts some years ago to gel free apple distribution for the schools, when one of the members put in: “But even we did not suggest that school children in Loburn should be given apples from Marlborough." Another member capped that by saying that children in Clyde, in Central Otago, a great fruitgrowing area, were getting their school apples from Hawke's Bay. A third example was given by another member, who said that in one Auckland provincial centre the children did get apples from their own district, but they first had to be railed the long journey to Auckland and then s ’n.t back again.
