This in crease amounts to slightly less than 2'a quart. In announcing the in crease, the Chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing -------— — Corn & Soybean Drying Seminar SOUTH HURON REC CENTRE Thurs. Apr. 5 10 a.m. All interested farmers welcome to attend. Sponsored by MF Agri Builders Staffa Board, Kenneth G. McKin non, stated that the Board has been using an economic formula as a guide in setting the producer price for fluid milk for several years. “The most recent infor mation,” he said, “indicates that milk producers’ costs have shot up quickly over the past few months.”, He also noted that formula projections easily justify a higher increase at this time. “However”, Mr. McKin non said, “after consulting with industry and consumer representatives, our Board decided to implement a smaller price increase than was originally proposed.” At the same time he issued a warning that a further price increase may be needed within a few months. As there is no government regulation controlling the consumer price for milk, the amount of the increase at retail outlets is dependent on the forces of competition. “For this reason,” Mr. McKinnon concluded, “we do not know what the final consumer price will be.” The $1.70 per hectolitre in crease raises the farm price for raw milk in Southern On tario from $31.33 per hl to $33.03 per hl.

By JACK RIDDELL MPP Huron-Middlesex The Government has in troduced a Bill proposing a major overhaul of grievance arbitration, which would eliminate delays and reduce costs. This issue of costly delays in arbitration procedures has been a cen tre of controversy for a long time. Each year, tens of thousands of grievances are filed in Ontario on behalf of Union members, among which are some 1,000 ar bitration cases. Unions have complained about long delays in the disposition of arbitration cases, the cost of taking a case to arbitration; and the problems of workers who have been discharged and have to wait up to a year or more for an arbitrator’s decision. The Minister of Labour, Dr. Robert Elgie, in troducing tfie bill, main tained that its adoption would give this Province one of the finest grievance ar bitration systems in North America. It would cut delays by setting time limits, giving the Minister power to appoint single ar bitrators and establish fees for them. The Ontario Federation of Labour has complained that the grievance arbitration system has been a failure; and that the inequities of high cost, delay and harsh penalties have brought the system into disrepute among the people it is sup posed to serve. After several weeks of severe criticism by the Op position parties, the Ontario Government and the Province’s doctors have promised that services at public hospitals will be available at no more than Ontario Health Insurance Plan rates. However, doc tors will still have the right to join or opt out of the Plan. In a statement to the Legislature the Minister of Health, Dennis Timbrell said that the Government, the Ontario Medical Association and the Ontario Hospital Association have agreed to begin talks aimed at ensuring “that in every Sublic hospital in Ontario tie patient will have a choice of access to physicians’ services at OHIP rates.” The Minister, OMA and NtMNmMntkV’ Kirkton 229-8986 Centralia 228-6661 The carbamate line that scores on corn rootworms University researchers have found the best way to keep rootworms from building up resistance is to alternate carbamate and organophosphate insecticides each year.

They will publicize a telephone number which anyone in the Province can call, toll free, for the name of a doctor in the plan in his community, if there is one. A doctor will have to tell patients, in advance of ser vices, when they will be chafed more than the OHIP rate. If prior notice is not given, the patient will not nave to pay the extra charge. If problems persists, the Government “Will have lit tle choice but to consider some form of consumer protection Legislation.” The Health Ministry and the OMA have also agreed on the principles of a new procedure to negotiate a fee schedule. Mr. Timbrell told the Legislature that the Chairman will become an in depent fact-finder on the fee question. Mr. Timbrell said he hopes a fee rate can be established that would be considered fair by both doc tors and the public.
