I K'S .F11:10SE AL El E Idea of local group Petition rutabaga board BEATTY WATER SYSTEM A petition was launched by rutabaga growers to set up a marketing board in Ontario to promote the turnips. Sixteen rutabaga growers signed the petition when it was introduced at a meeting at Stratford's coliseum of about 50 persons connected with the in- dustry in the province. The petition will go to the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Board for con- sideration. Frank Vanneste of Lucan expects it will be early fall before a marketing board is established - if one is to be established. The idea for the board was first raised a few months ago by the Huron-Middlesex Rutabaga Growers Association, the largest group of exporters in the province. The petition will be circulated throughout Ontario in the next few months and Mr. Vanneste said 15 percent of the mem- bership about 45 growers - must be in favor of forming a marketing board before any further discussion can take place.

Famous Canadian name brand. 149•" Huron-Middlesex group said if the marketing board is formed it would serve as a promotional organization for the industry. Sales and exports would be increased and the growers would be forced to pay more towards the actual promotion. At the moment the growers pay little in comparison to the shippers towards the cost of promotion. Last year the Ontario Rutabaga Council operated with a budget of $31,000, of which the shippers paid $20,000 and the growers $500. Chairman of the council, Ted Chudleigh of Milton, said the growers should be paying equal amounts to the Rutabaga Council. The reason for the dif- ference is that the shippers have the money deducted at the time of shipping and the growers only contribute voluntarily. Under a marketing board system the 350 growers in the province would be ordered to pay a certain amount to the board. Mr. Vanneste estimated as much as $40,000 extra would be created by forming a marketing board. "This would give us the op- portunity to hire a full-time person to travel around, especially in the US and talk to buyers and wholesalers and increase our sales," said Mr. Chudleigh. He expected that if the marketing board did become a reality, the Ontario Rutabaga Council would cease to exist. He said the marketing board would simply be an extension of promotional service, done by the council.Mr. Chudleigh agreed the marketing board was a good idea and should be started, if only to get rutabaga growers paying their "fair share" towards the promotion of their product. Lewis Thomson, a producer from Stratford, and chairman of the Oxford and District Turnip Growers Association, was not one of the 16 to sign the petitionWed- nesday. And he won't be signing the petition. He said he did. not see any benefit to the rutabaga growers in forming a marketing board. "If there's a lot of turnips one year you can't order people to buy them. If they don't want to buy them there's no law that says they must. "And if there is a shortage another year, they will all be sold for a higher price and everyone will be happy. I just don't see where a board will benefit us," said Mr. Thomson, who is also chairman of the turnip section of the Ontario Food and Vegetable Growers Association, Mr. Thomson said the main concern of the growers was the fact they were selling their rutabagas at two cents a pound, chain stores are purchasing them at four to five cents a pound and turning round and charging 12 to 15 cents for them retail, "But there's nothing we can do about it, and even a marketing board couldn't do anything about it," he said.

By TOM LESSARD HURON PARK The smelt were running at Turnbulls Grove this past weekend. About 150 pounds of the tasty tidbits were brought home Saturday night to the Park. Among them was one with two tails. Somewhere along the way, two of the little devils flipped themselves loose (possibly with outside aid) but were recaptured in Kennedy's Kennels by a London member of the local fishing club. Cadets parade Sunday afternoon the Huron Middlesex Cadet Corps paraded in the Recreation Center at Huron Park. As each parade commences, enthusiasm in- creases. Highlighting the afternoon was each cadet's chance to fire live ammunition (22) on the outdoor small bore range. Even though the wind was strong it could not deter the future marksmen in the group. Hunters beware. It won't be long before your sons or daughters will be teaching you how to handle and shoot a weapon. For those cadets requiring transportation to and from Lucan or Exeter on Sundays, a bus will be provided at the following times and locations: pick up at the Lucan Legion, 12:15 p.m.; pick up at the Exeter Legion, 12:45 p.m.; leave Huron Park, 4:15 p.m. The above schedule may vary due to unforseen weather or other circumstances beyond our control.
