CONDOMS TO BE SOLD IN VANCOUVER SCHOOLS

A school board committee has approved the installation of condom-dispensing machines in high school restrooms.

John Blatherwick, city medical health officer, said the step was necessary to help students protect themselves from AIDS.

Final approval will be considered at the board's meeting next Monday.

Earlier this year, two other British Columbia school districts approved the installation of condom dispensers.
