undeserved
Derry Boyle received the
accolades of two fellow
members of council Monday
night for complying with the
no-smoking edict in the
council chambers.
Both Councillor Lossy
Fuller and Mayor Shaw con
gratulated Boyle for his
perseverance in abstaining
from his habit,
However, the words of
praise were not deserved.
Despite the two members’
comments last meeting
about the foul-smelling
habit, neither had taken
notice of Boyle as he calmly
smoked a cigarette midway
through Monday’s meeting.
At one point, Boyle even
gestured with the cigarette
in his hand as he discussed
an issue with Shaw. Mrs.
Fuller was also watching
Boyle at the time.

Pays fine for -
possession
A London man, Robert
Edward Wright, 110 Grand
Ave., was fined $750 when he
appeared in Goderich court
last week to face a charge of
possession of marijuana for
the purpose of trafficking.
The sentence was levied by
Judge W.G. Cochrane,
Wright, 19, had been
charged after police were
advised of a quantity of illicit
drups hidden in Hullett
township in October. Drugs,
with a street value of $2,500
to $3,000 were seized
following a 12-hour police
stake-out.
Among the officers in
volved in the lengt y in
vestigation were Exeter
QPP Constable Bill
McIntyre and Constable
Peter Mason of the Goderich
police department, a former
Exeter resident. Others
involved were OPP Con
stables Doug Spitzig and
James Dore. ,

The Ontario Bean
Producers Marketing Boat'd
has set the prices for white
bean seed to be used for the
1978 crop.
In a recent newsletter the
price of No. 1 foundation
seed is listed at $25 per hun
dred weight and No. 2 cer
tified seed at $21.50.
Over the past 10 years the
formula for pricing seed has
remained the same. It is the
pool price of commercial
beans plus the premium paid
to the seed producer plus the
seed handle paid to the
elevator to process seed.
Any seed treatment is
separate and additional to
this formula.
This formula has worked
well over the last 10 years
and the seed producer has
been provided with a grow
ing market for his seed, as
the commercial grower has
.been assured of sufficient
seed at reasonable prices
and has expanded his
acreage.
The formula has not
varied despite wide
variances in commercially
priced beans over different
years.. It is,.the,board!s.hope
that seed growers will act
responsibly in t^iis crucial
year as Canada attempts to
get its feet back on the
ground in the bean business,
after the 1977 crop devasta
tion.
No, 2 foundation seed (for
colour only, germination 85
percent or better) will be
$24.50 and No. 2 certified
seed with the same
qualifications will be $21. *
The, elevators will be
To consider
handicapped
Exeter council will give
full consideration to han
dicapped people in the con
struction of new sidewalks.1
At the suggestion of Alpha
Huron, a group devoted to
making life easier for the
handicapped, council agreed
to construct fan-shape curbs
to accommodate people in
wheel chairs, as well as
mothers pushing buggies
and others who find it dif
ficult to negotiate the pre
sent high curbs.
Councillor Derry Boyle
said he was in agreement,
but noted the sloping curbs
could prove dangerous for
elderly people “like me” in
the winter as they could be
slippery and result in falls.
Council members had lit-
£lg. ..sympathy for Boyle’s
personal concern about fall
ing.
“We’ll take our chance,”
Mayor Bruce* Shaw
suggested.
“I’ll supply the ice,”
Councillor Harold Patterson
quipped.
responsible for designating
seed that is No. 2 for colour
only. That is, seed that is
No. 2 either foundation or
certified, with poor colour,
but, better than 85 percent
germination will be marked
in such a way to separate it
from No. 2 seed with below
85 percent germination. The
elevators are aware of this
responsibility.
Preliminary acreage
forecasts for 1978 predict an
increase of seven percent in
Michigan. Navy bean
production is expected a top
five million cwt. if an
average yield is assumed for
the 470,000 acres to be
planted.
In Ontario it is expected
acreage for 1978 will be
about the same as was
planted last year. There will
be some declines in acreage
in southern countries due to
soyabeans.
This is because of record
^yields on soya beans last
year and lower input costs
than for white beans.
However, important offset
ting factors in 1978 are the
price of corn and the decline
in winter wheat acreage,
The small fall wheat plan
ting leaves a lot of idle land
which must be planted to
some cash crops. Corn
prices forecasted at $2.10
will not likely encourage in
creases in that crop.
On the basis of this
reasoning the 1978 Ontario
acreage will likely be 160,000
acres. If Ontario returns to a
five year average yield of 1,-
285 pounds per acre produc
tion will be in excess of two
million cwt.
Michigan together with
Ontario production will
provide ample beans for the
world market that demands
quality navy beans.
An announcement as to
whether there will be an in
terim payment for the 1977
crop will be made toN
growers in a newsletter to
be- published immediately
after a board meeting of
March 14.

ficials confirmation is
pected from the bank’s head
office.
At the suggestion of
property committee chair
man Steve Pfaff, who met
with the parking authority
and downtown business im
provement group last week,
council agreed to negotiate
an agreement with the bank
and other owners in the area
to have a parking area
developed by the town’s
public works committee.
At the recommendation of
the property committed, the
budget for the parking
authority will also be in
creased this year from $4,-
000 to $6,000.
It is hoped that some of
that money will be used to
acquire ownership or a lease
of property behind G & G
Discount to provide access
to the parking spots behind
stores on the west side of
Main St.
Council agreed to have the
town solicitor or a member
of council negotiate with the
property owner involved.
Previous attempts at
reaching some agreement
with the owner have been
'fruitless.

Some good,
some bad
* Exeter council received
some good news and some
bad from the ministry of
housing this week. But even’
the bad news could have
been worse. . ,
The good news was that
Exeter has been granted an
additional $28,608.74 for the
local home renewal plan.
This grant and loan plan is
provided to people on low in-
comes who require
assistance in bringing their
homes up to standard.
The bad news was that the
minister has “closed” a
grant which was given to the
town for assistance in
redrawing the official plan.
The original grant had been
$3,000, of which all but $750
has been received.
Much of that original
grant was “lost” because
council dismissed their
original consulting firm and
turned the plan over to the
Huron planning department.
“It could have been
worse,” Mayor Bruce Shaw
said in reference to the an
nouncement the remaining
portion of the grant won’t be
received. “He could have
asked for it (the $2,250
already received) back.”
Little change
for '78 crops
According to represen
tatives of the local grain
storage companies there will
be little shift in the types of
crops that will be planted
this year although last fall’s
wet weather may result in
reduced acreage for winter
wheat.
Wes Petsch, marketing
manager for Cook’s said that
there might be a slight in
crease in whitebeans this
year.
Although the white bean
crop was a disaster last year
Petsch could see few far
mers getting out of that crop
because of the high initial
investment in
necessary for harvesting
white beans.
Some people who started
growing white beans
recently may be having ;
“second thoughts” about this
year’s crop but Petsch said
the number of farmers
switching crops would ap
pear to be minimal.
Archie Couper, manager
of the Hensall Co-Op when
asked about possible crop
changes said “It’s hard to
say at this point” but that
some interest has been
shown in soybeans.
’ The wet fall made it dif
ficult for farmers to plant the
spring wheat and that “there
is some acreage to fill in.’
Lloyd Whitesell, assistant
manager of W. G. Thompson
and Sons said that the fall’s
wet weather will cause a
switch to cereal grains such
as barley.
Corn acreage is expected
to remain the same with
soybeans appearing to make
inroads in this traditionally
white bean area.
