Ralph Hanke, owner of the
Christmas tree sign company,
argued that his employees
would not ‘disrupt any flow
of traffic at Park Royal
South’? while selling the $3
plastic signs

He also said that the can
vassers ‘*will act in a manner
that will not be in any way of
tensive, or reflect poorly on
the Paraplegic Foundanon

Council, however, flatly
rejected Hanke’s plea to can
Vass in the community since it
was council policy not to
allow canvassing or sale ot
goods by non-profit
orgamzahons on the streets
or malls unless all the funds
raised go to the charitable
organizatton

Of the $3 purchase price ot
the sign, $1! goes to the
Paraplegic Foundation, $1 to
the seller and $1 to the
manufacturer.
