Gordon Bennett
leaving position
After 35 years of service
to Ontario farmers, R. Gor
don Bennett will retire as
deputy . minister of
agriculture and food.
Premier William G. Davis
has announced that he will
be succeeded by Kenneth E.
Lantz, who has been assis
tant deputy for production
and rural development for 15
years.
“Gordon Bennett’s
dedication to agricultural
progress has won him the
friendship and respect of
farmers throughout the
province,” said Agriculture
Minister Bill Newman.
“There is no way of
measuring his contribution
over the years to the
development of our
agricultural community.
There have been vast
changes in the business of
producing and marketing
food. Mr. Bennett has work
ed tirelessly to help Ontario
meet these challenges and
maintain our position as a
pacesetter in’farming.
“We will miss his warmth
of personality as well as his
expertise, but I hope the
Government may
sometimes be able to draw
upon his wealth of ex
perience.”
Born on a Wentworth
County farm, Mr, Bennett
graduated from the Ontario
Agricultural College in 1943
and became an assistant
agricultural representative
in Middlesex County. Later
he moved to Glengarry and
Huron Counties as a county
“agrep”.
In 1951 he moved to the
ministry’s head office as an
associate director in charge
of 4-H Agricultural Club
work. He has always main
tained his ties with the youth
of rural Ontario and is a
former president of the
Canadian Council on 4-H
Clubs.
Mr. Bennett was named
associate director of the Ex
tension Branch in 1956. He
became chief agricultural
officer in 1958, chief of the
Marketing Division in 1961
and assistant deputy
minister in 1962. He has
been deputy minister since
1975.
Mr. Lantz was born on a
farm in North Easthope
Township in Perth County. A
graduate of O.A.C., he
followed Mr. Bennett as
assistant ag rep in
Middlesex from 1945 to 1948.
He headed the Stormont
County office from 1948 to
“ 1951, and the Kent County of
fice from 1951 to 1958.
Mr. Lantz moved to head
office in 1958 as associate
director of the Extension
Branch. In 1960 he was ap
pointed extension director,
and in 1963 assistant deputy
minister.

Huron encourages study

Huron lads
enjoy outing
Huron District Boy Scouts
of Canada held its annual
camporee during the
weekend of May 27 to 29.
Nearly 400 Scouts and Cubs
from Lucan, Crediton,
Exeter, Vanastra, Bayfield
and Goderich gathered at
Point Farms Provincial
Park to enjoy the fellowship,
competition and fine
wea tiler.
An active sports program
filled the weekend for the
Cubs. Even with the hot
weather participation was
the key word as baseball,
soccer, stilt walking and
scavenger hunts filled the
boys with enthusiasm.
The craft period Sunday
morning was also tackled
with enthusiasm. Each Cub
in the Exeter Pack made his
own souvenir of the
Camporee from the natural
materials found in the area.
The Scout program
featured a compass orien
teering course and a patrol
competition course. This
competition course tested
each Scout Patrol in fire
lighting, first aid, physical
endurance, observation,
emergencies, lashing and
estimations.
The Camporee Troop
Trophy was won by the 1st
Exeter Scout Troop under
the leadership of John
Bickerstaff and Paul
McKnight. This trophy is
given annually to the troop
earning the greatest number
of points at the camporee.
These points are earned
through the competitions
and camping proficiency.
One of the highlights of the
weekend was the Bousuns
Chair built by the Exeter
Troop. This “rope ride” built
between two trees kept the
Exeter Scouts busy giving
rides to all the other Cubs
and Scouts in camp.
The 1st Crediton troop who
finished a very close second
to the Exeter Troop built a
particularly fine scale model
of an “A” frame bridge for
their pioneering project.
In closing the camporee
Camp Chief, Walter Thomas
of Goderich thanked
everyone for their par
ticipation and challenged all
Cubs, Scouts and Leaders to
make next years Camporee
even better.

Several ladies in the com
munity went on the Kirkton
Horticulture bus trip Satur
day. They toured an Art
Gallery, a greenhouse at
Woodbridge, and Black
Creek Pioneer Village. All
reported a very enjoyable
day.
by the Huron Federation of
Agriculture,
Gordon Hill presented a
resolution to the Federation
meeting Thursday night re
questing that the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture
press for a Royal Commis
sion to investigate into the
buying ethics and discount
practises of food chains.
“The legislative com
mittee investigating the
situation now, doesn’t have
the authority to demand
witnesses to answer to the
charges and give infor
mation’’, pointed out
member, Gordon Hill.
A royal commission would
have the authority to sub
poena records and
witnesses.
The larger supermarket
chains have a practise of
discounting a percentage
from the suppliers cheque
before payment. Costs have
been allotted to the adver
tising portion for that
product or for shelf space
devoted to that product. In
some cases as much as 20G
has been deducted.
Mr. Hill sited the case of
Sun Parlour Co-op in
Leamington, where they
have conformed to A&P
demands and received
criticisms for it,
Tn Toronto there have
been two murders of
producers’, said Mr. Hill
‘and there have been
rumours of involvment of
the Mafia in this'.
No charges are to be laid
over the discounting prac
tises, which have been going
on since 1972.
The Huron Federation
Agriculture supported the
resolution after a general
discussion where members
agreed that such practises
were not fair to producers
al! over.
