Meet behind dosed doors
to see annexation study
Grand Bend’s annexation
report which recommends
proceeding with boundary
changes was discussed at a
closed door session last night
according to Reeve Bob
Sharen.
Sharen said the purpose
behind the meeting was to
discuss the report which had
been sent back to the con
sultants to clarify some
statistics.
When asked when and
what type of action council
might take on the report
Sharen stated he didn’t know
what was going to happen. “I
have my own feelings about
the matter but that’s not

. beach at Grand Bend appears to be deserted at this time of
year, according to Joe Strzykala of Windsor there are many
reminders of the large crowds, buried just below the surface.
Strzykala says he's been coming to the resort at this time of
year for the past eight years and finds between six and seven
dollars per visit with his metal detector. T-A photo
council’s, he said.
Previously, the reeve had
stated that the annexation
process involves the passing
of a bylaw that has to be sent
to the Ontario Municipal
Board, which could be done
by October.
The village wants to annex
parts of Stephen and
Bosanquet townships to
increase its population and
assessment and allow
residents a say in the
government they are most
closely associated with.
The townships oppose the
annexation move because of
the tax dollars they will lose.
They have suggested
amalgamation, but Grand
Bend has rejected that idea
so far.
Sharen said the boundary
fight could last more than a
year, and the estimated cost
to Grand Bend will be about
$10,000.

Reduction
fate coming
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) reports
that the mid-summer drop in
farm gate prices has now
shown up in grocery stores.
The OFA’s Farmer Price
Index (FPI) shows an
average two percent
reduction in July’s farm gate
prices. August’s prices were
up only a modest 0.3 percent.
The August Consumer
Price Index (CPI) however,
indicates that consumers
have not benefited fully from
the reduction in farm gate
prices. The Consumer Price
Index was down only 0.7
percent, led by beef down 4.3
percent. The OFA attributes
much of the reduction in food
costs to locally grown
vegetables replacing ex
pensive imports. The FPI
aggregate does not include
fresh produce prices.
The OFA states, retail
prices continue to out
distance the price paid to
farmers. Since August, 1977,
the retail price of domestic
food has increased by 19.2
percent while the farmer has
received only 12. 5 percent
more.
As an example of the
discrepancy between farm
gate prices and retail prices-,
the OFA cites the example of
flour and bread. Under the
two-price wheat program
beginning late 1973, the price
that millers pay farmers for
wheat has been fixed at $3.25
a bushel. During the same
period, however, a 24 oz. loaf
of bread has gone up 49
percent and a five pound bag
of flour has increased by 33
percent.
The OFA points out there
is only 37.4 cents of wheat in
a five pound bag of flour. The
farmers’ snare of a loaf of
bread is only ten cents, seven
for wheat and three for other
ingredients.
4H clubs meet

cream.
