Food Chain store discount practices have been the sub­ ject of heated debate again this week, and the Legislature’s Standing Com- mittee on Resources Development • has recommended a public in­ quiry into rebates, dis­ counts and allowances in the Ontario food industry. All three political parties have approved the idea of an in­ quiry, although they dis­ agree on the scope and form of the proposed investiga­ tion. Counsel William Poole submittted a strongly- worded report to the Com­ mittee, based upon public testimony by a number of witnesses and confidential interviews with six food suppliers. In his opinion, “the arranging of discounts is an unequal battle between strong (supermarket) chains and weaker (food) processors which may. have the effect of gouging.” Discounts “do not seem to be related to volume selling, but perhaps are related to concentration in the hands of a few”. In the course of his sub­ mission to the Committee, Mr. Poole mentioned Liberal MPP Jim McGuigan (Kent-Elgin), “an apple grower before this Com­ mittee”, who had objected to the discounting, which caused ,the chain stores to make a change. “If all apple growers did that, they’d do away with this discount. In other words, you scared them off” he told McGuigan. He warned that too much power among the retail chains will reduce competi­ tion at the processor level and lead to a system of ver­ tical integration, in which the chains control food processing as well as retail­ ing. The Committee has recommended that the in­ vestigation should be carried out by an indepen­ dent body, and proposed a Food Industry Trade Prac­ tices Commission, which would consist of a nominee of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the Ontario Section of the Consumers Association of Canada and each of the three political parties in Ontario. The Lieutenant Governor would appoint the Chairman from the five nominees, and the Commission would have a broad mandate to look into “the marketing of food in Ontario with respect to prices, price spreads, price discounts, rebates and allowances, trade practices, methods of financing and management policies relating to the marketing of farm products.” About a month ago, in­ jured workers and Metro Toronto Police clashed dur­ ing a demonstration calling for increased benefits from Workmen’s Compensation Board. Now the Minister of Labour, the Honourable Bette Stephenson, has proposed an average 25% in­ crease in benefits. If the • legislation is approved, the increase will take effect July 1st. This would be the first such increase in three years. The Bill will be retroac­ tive in three stages to July Please Note We Will Be CLOSED LARRY SNIDER MOTORS LIMITED Exeter 235-1640 London 227-4191 Huron County's Largest Ford Dealer This Saturday, July 1 and Monday, July 3 For the Canada Day Holiday Snell Bros.

It would raise the ceiling on earnings for a temporary disability allowance to $16,200 from $15,000 and the maximum rate of compensation payable to injured workers would increase by 8% to $233.66 a week. The minimum permanent pension for total disability would increase to $509 from $400 a month; for 50% dis­ ability from $200 to $254.40; and for 25% disability to $127.25 from $100. For a dependent spouse the pension would increase to $365 a month from $286, for dependent children to $99 from $77 and for orphans to $113 from $88. The initial lump sum payment for dependent spouses and the burial allowances would in­ crease to $800 from $600. Opposition Members have been calling for. such an in­ crease. The Line Fences Act, 1978; was introduced this week by the Honourably Darcy McKeough. The new bill came about as a result of lengthy discussions par­ ticularly with represen­ tatives of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Rural • Ontario Municipal Association. In the new Bill as opposed to the present Line Fences Act: The distinction between occupied and unoccupied lands is being removed. A line fence will no longer be mandatory in every case, but only where one adjoining owner wants a fence. Where adjoining owners cannot reach agreement, one owner may simply notify the clerk of the local municipality that he wants the fence-viewers to ar­ bitrate the dispute. If, however, the municipal council has passed a by-law providing that the clerk is not to be involved, the owner will have to arrange the ar­ bitration himself as with the present Act. The options of the Fence­ viewers in making their award are being clarified and broadened. The Appeal of either owner from the Fence­ viewers’ award will be the Small Claims Court rather than to the County or District Court. If the owner fails to obey the Award and the other owner does the work and wants to recover the value of that work, he will have the fence-viewers reconvene to certify the amount owed him by the defaulting owner, rather than having to take action in the Small Claims Court. In addition to the methods in the existing Act for collecting the amount owed him by the defaulting owner, the other owner will be able , if the Municipal Coun­ cil provides by By-Law, to collect the amount from the Municipal Treasurer. The Municipality will then collect the amount from the defaulting owner as taxes with interest. The Minister of Communi­ ty and Social Services, Mr. Larry Grossman, has in­ dicated that the Province will have to play a much larger role in supervising children’s aid societies in the light of a report that they have failed to protect children from abuse or violent death. This report recently released by a task force on the matter of child abuse has concluded that “the public and professionals have every right to be concerned about the failure of our chidlren’s services to protect children known to be in perilous situations.” Last year, some 1,045 in­ cidents of child abuse were reported to the central registry in Ontario - 13 resulted in death. In 1976, there were 731 reported abuses, resulting in six deaths. The task force report made 21 recommendations, including better ministry standards and guidelines for dealing with child abuse and improved monitoring of the societies to ensure that the ■ guidelines are followed in an effort to improve what is called “an alarming situation”.
