Higgs recalled that 4 year ago Mr. Tate had pprose4 that Bruce Cooper Usborne native Mr. Bruce Cooper, in his 82nd year, life long resident of Us, borne Township, died at his home Saturday, January 27. He is survived by his wife, formerly Violet Ann Wood, one son Alvin, two daughters, Mrs. Horace Delbridge (Lavona), Mrs. Russell King (Isabelle), seven grandchildren and eight great, grandchildren and also one sis- ter Mrs. May Ford of Exeter. He farmed all his life on a farm purehased by his grand- father from the Canada Land Co. He was active in church choir at Elimville for 45 years being choir leader for 23 years, participating in the Centennial service in June 1967. He was a member of municipal council for a number of years. The couple celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary No- vember 9, 1967. Funeral services were con- ducted at Hopper-Hockey Funeral Home, Exeter, by Rev. Stewart Miner on January 31 with temp- orary entombment at Exeter Cemetery. Pall bearers were HubertHey- wood, Harold Bell, Harold Ker- slake, Laverne0Delmer and Ross Skinner. Retarded Continued from front page to bring the children in and also to assist in looking after them. The value of such a plan would be that the children would have an opportunity to get out of their own homes and become assoc- iated with other children. In assition, it would give their par- ents a relief from the constant care most require. Mr. Heimrich said he didn't know how many children there would be in the area for such a venture, but stated emphatically there are "certainly enough". The executive will also re- commend the establishment of a school 'for those between the ages of five to 18. A minimum of 10 mentally retarded are re- quired for this and U there are that number an educational auth- ority would be established which would then receive assistance from the provincial government. A fund drive would probably be required to meet the needs of such a school. "Eventually we hope to en- compass the whole spectrum of services for the mentally re- tarded," Mr. Heimrich stated. In addition to the pre-school and regular school program this would include a workshop for adults and recreational programs for all age levels. There would also be an attempt made to establish opportunity classes in all area schools where sufficient need was evident. In other business at the execu- tive, it was decided that mem- berships for organizations with 25 or fewer numbers would be $10 and $25 for organizations with memberships over 25. These are minimum fees and further donation would be at the discretion of the organization involved. Accidents - Continued from front page volved in an accident bn Main St. Damage in the rear-end crash was listed at $456. The other took place last Tues- day at 1:25 p.m. when a car operated by Marlene M.Mathers, 420 Marlboro Street, collided with a car operated by John H. McKee, 156 Victoria Street, at the intersection of Anne and Marl- boro streets. Damage in that incident was estimated at $250. as long as OPP acres could be contracted, the. Chatham plant would be Operatedp "After 9Perating fgr only One Year under a support program that met the needs, of the present- day beet producer, the direetbrs are deeply disappointed," Mr, Higgs said. "Added to this dieaPPO/ntrnent is the fact that Ontari0 Produced sugar will now be replaced by foreign cane sugar dumped on the Ontario market at distreased Prloes." primarily affected by the move is the city of Chatham and Kent County, where the plant injected an estimated $10,000,009 yearly Into the economy. The company has beea assoc- iated with Chatham for over 60 years and the plant was regarded as one of the most efficient in North America. In Ottawa, Harold Danforth (PC-Kent) said closing of the plant was a disaster for the city and the agriculture com- munity which should not have happened. "For years I have beenplead- ing for a sugar policy for Can- ada which would have kept the industry viable, but nothing has been done except on a year-to- year basis of subsidization. Sub- sidies were started when we (Progressive Conservatives) were in office but in the past few years haye been outdated," he said. Mr. Danforth said the deci- sion to close the plant was par- ticularly unfortunate at this time, following a year in which the farmers had themselves made a special effort to keep it going, and after the company had start- ed a five year program which had given every hope of con- tinuing the industry. The Kent member said he had been given no notice in advance of the announcement except to be told that officers of the company would be interviewing the gov- ernment today to discuss their problems. The announcement came at a time when the value of sugar beets as a crop has been en- hanced by a poor production year for many other crops. One grower said he was plan- ning to contract more beets this year, because of depressed corn prices and poor yields in other crops last year. Mr. Tate said the decision was made independently by Can- ada and Dominion Sugar Comp- any in Montreal, without influence from Great. Britain. It had no connection, he said, with stringent measures result- ing from devaluation of the Brit- ish pound. Controlling interest in C and D is held by Tate and Lyall of Great Britain.
