The reason that he got involved in the brandy industry was to relieve the marketing board of surplus grapes purchased in 1975. With the excise tax and sales tax, the Canadian. Brandy can no longer compete pricewise with the imported brandy and as long as this situation prevails, Rieder Industry will not be buying grapes. That par- ticular industry needs 3500 tons of grapes per year for the production of brandy but the excise tax will drive them out of the market. In affect there could be 11,000 tons of Labrusco grapes that won't have a market because of the Federal and Provincial taxes. Thirty-five percent of all wine made in Ontario is sherry and port and they are made from Ontario grapes. The sherry and port imports make up 5 to 7 percent of the Ontario market, so the Federal and Provincial taxes will have a major impact on the wine industry in Ontario. Presently there is a 12 percent Federal Sales tax on wine. Now there will be an excise tax to which the sales tax will be applied. The provincial government takes a 75 percncent mark-up on the wine and charges a 10 percent sales tax. To use a simple example lets assume that the cost of a bottle of wine after it comes out of the winery is $10.00. the Federal excise tax adds $3.00 to that bottle of wine, bringing the coat to $13.00. The 12 percent Federal Sales tax is now applied to that bottle of wine, bringing it to $14.65. Con- sidering the provincial mark-up or 75 percnet the bottle of wine is now worth $25.64. Applied to that is the Question wine taxes Former politician dies from fall shingling the roof earlier in the day, police said. He was Middlesex warden in 1945 while reeve of McGillivray Township. He also was reeve of Parkhill for his final 14 years on county council after moving here from his 640-acre farm. Hodgins was Parkhill's representative on a county committee set up to plan for the 1982 International . Plowing Match near Lucan. He joined the Ausable- Hayfield Conservation Authority in 1946, the year it was formed, and later was its chairman for eight years, including the period when the Parkhill Dam was constructed. He also was a member of the former North Middlesex District High School board. Cowgirls win two Centennials lose by 2-1 Two second-half goals by Mike Campbell boosted Forest 2-1 over Exeter Centennials in Ausable league soccer at Canner's field, Sunday. John Mickle had Exeter's only goal at 75 minutes. It came after Campbell got the lead for Forest by knocking down a low goal-kick, and working it back to score .at the 60-minute mark. Then, with about three minutes left, Campbell again drew centre on Exeter's net for the winning point. As expected, the first Exeter-Forest meeting of the season was fast and free- wheeling. The Centennials had an edge early, but couldn't score. Forest, too, misplayed a number of opportunities. Overall, however, the play was reasonably even, with Exeter again preping for the advantage after Camp- bell's winning shot. In the final seconds, Exeter failed to tip in a corner-kick, and had a ball rebound off the Forest goal-frame, The Centennials play away next Sunday, against league leading Taxandria. Game time is 2 p.m. in Arkona. Minor soccer Peewees Exeter shelled Taxandria 9-0 in peewee division soccer Monday night. Andrew Winters stuck in three goals, and Steve Gould and Dale Regier each had a pair. Singles were earned by Lenny Dietrich and Tim Robinson. Exeter had Taxandria down 5-0 at half-time, with Winters, Gould, Dietrich, and then Winters and Gould again, scoring in sequence. Dale Regier began and ended Exeter's scoring in the second half. His goals were spaced by one from Tim Robinson, and Andrew Winters' third tally of the night. Squirts An unsuccessful penalty- kick, and a miss on an open goal, forced Exeter Strikers into a 2-2 tie with Lucan-One in squirt-division soccer at Lucan, Wednesday. Exeter's two lost chances went for zero in the first half, after Lucan had the match at 1-0 on a goal by Stephen Snider. In the second half, however, the Strikers came level on .a score by Exeter's Mark Burton, while the clubs struggled to get the edge on each other. Later, Robbie McLelland turned Exeter's second opportunity at a penalty-kick into a 2-1 lead. But Lucan, with less than five minutes to go, had their first turn at a shot from the penalty spot. Dereck Cockram took it, and con- verted the chance into a drawn game at 2-2.

By LYNNE FARQUHAR Registration for S.P.A.R.K., Dashwood playground and the Huron Park pool program has been set for Saturday June 28 from 2-4 p.m. Registration for S.P.A.R.K. and the pool will be held at the Stephen Resource Centre in Huron Park and Dashwood's registration will be at the pavilion in Dashwood Community Park. Fees for this year's programs are as follows: S.P.A.R.K. - $7 for the seven week program, $12 for two in a family and $15 for three to a family. S.P.A.R.K. starts Monday July 7 and runs to August 22 for youngsters aged 4-12. Dashwood Playground is also $7 for seven weeks, $12 for two per family and $15 for three per family. Their program will also be running from July 7 - August 22 for youngsters 4-12. Swim lessons at Huron Park pool will cost $15 for a three week session. Those with two youngsters enrolled will be charged $25 per per session and three youngsters per family will be $30. Pool sessions_ are as follows. Session no. 1 - June 30 - July 10, session no. 2 - July 21 - August 8, and session no. 3 - August 11 - 29. The pool will be open star- ting June 23 from 3:30 - 5:30 and 6:30 - 8:30 until school is out and then will be opening daily from 1:30 - 4:00. Fees for public swimming are the same as last season with children at 25 cents, teens 35 cents and adults 50 cents. If your organization is interested in a swim party, the pool is available for hourly rentals at $30. The pool program this summer will be under the supervision of head in- structor Cindy Conholly. Cindy has her instructor's and has been employed at the Vanastra Recreation Centre teaching swimming. Bobbi Glover and Sandi Fremlin who both have their leader patrol, will be the other swim instructors. Both have had experience teaching lessons in Exeter and Clinton pools in the past. Reluctant ball players Although they attempted to discourage onlookers any fans wanting to see Exeter council in action on the ball diamond are invited to their upcoming contest with the boys from Epp Homes. Council had previously accepted the challenge from Councillor Al Epp to tackle his boys, but when it came time to set a time, council members gave indications they would be better on the ice rink as they stick- handled around the topic. One member suggested playing at midnight and another quickly concurred, even adding that they wouldn't bother turning on the lights. At any rate, the date has now been set for next Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. at the community park. Proceeds (people would actually pay to see them play?) will go to the park redevelopment project. There's an added incentive if you're at odds with Mayor Derry Boyle, He said Monday his two sons had threatened to ring his neck if he attempted a baseball comeback. That will ap- parently be staged shortly after the conclusion of the ball game and could be worth the price of admission alone. Another person is also being hired for the pool but has not yet been confirmed. Stephen Nursery School youngsters will be off on a trip to the Grand Bend zoo tomorrow morning as a special wrap - up event to their program. Pre- registration and open house is being held at the nursery school on Monday June 23 and Tuesday June 24 for Moms wishing to enroll their youngsters in next years nursery school program..

Carol Stuart and Merna provincial sales tax of 10 percent which now makes: the bottle of wine worth $28.20 almost triple the original price. Grape growers have contacted the Federal government about the excise tax and although the Minister of Agriculture is most understanding it would appear that the Minister of Finance did not consult with the Minister of Agriculture or the grape industry before proposing an excise tax. The grape growers and the wineries have made presentations to the Minister but there has been very little response to this point in time. Failing any consideration on the part of the federal government, it is to be hoped that the province will review its mark-up policy in order to save the grape industry in Ontario. Considering that the average yield of grapes is three tons to the acre and that 10,000 to 12,000 tons of grapes may not have a market this year, then there is a very good possibility that 3,000 acres of land in the Niagara region will not be used for agricultural pur- poses. Other statistics that may be of interest in connection with the wine industry are that the tax value of an acre of grapes is 1000 percent of the value of the grapes at the farm level. In other words a grower grosses approximately $800 an acre for his grapes. The tax that is generated from this acre is $8,500. With the excise tax imposed on wines the federal government revenues will increase from $12 million to $35 million and the provincial revenues will increase from $9 million to $25 million. Surely, the agricultural industry should not have to pay for poor planning and deficit financing of both the federal and provincial governments. Liberal House Leader Robert Nixon has charged that a lack of firm Govern- ment policy in the area of beer advertising has led to a 4.3 percent increase in Ontario beer consumption over the past several years, He called for an end to beer advertisements which suggest the beverage will improve one's sex life, athletic prowess and good looks.

T-A photo By JACK RIDDELL MPP Huron-Middlesex Questions about the government taxation of wines, were raised in the Legislature by Opposition Members. The wine industry is indeed in peril, because of government excise and sales taxes. As a result of the Federal excise tax and a provincial mark-up and sales tax, there could quite conceivably be a loss of market of up to 12,000 tons of grapes in Ontario. Ontario growers sell between 8,000 to 10,000 tons of grapes per year to the wineries to be made into sherries and ports. The wines are made well in advance of being purchased by consumers. Wineries can live off their inventories this year so they could choose to reduce their purchase of Ontario grown groapes until next year. At that time they will likely get back into the market but they won't need as many grapes, because it is estimated that there will be a reduction of 30 percent of the purchases at the retail level because of the higher prices. The Wineries may also attempt to import grapes or a concentrate. The Brandy industry will suffer greatly. Otto Rieder who owns and operates Rieder Distilleries, has indicated that he will not be buying grapes for the brandy inddustry, which is TUG-OF-WAR WINNERS — Murray Greene, president of the Exeter Legion presented awards to the top tug-of-war team at the annual inspection of the Huron-Middlesex Corps.
