Federation
urges
investigation
BY RHEA HAMILTON
A Royal Commission into
the practises of large food
chanins is to be encouraged
by the Huron Federation of
Agriculture.
Gordon Hill presented a
resolution to the Federation
meeting June 8, requesting
that the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture press for a
Royal Commission to inves-
tigate into the buying ethics
and discount practises of
food chains.
"The legislative commit-
tee investigating the situa-
tion now, doesn't have the
authority to demand witness-
es to answer to the charges
anti°give information," poin-
ted 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 advertis-
ing portion for that product
or for shelf space devoted to
that product. In some cases,
as much as 20 percent has
been deducted.
Mr. Hill cited the case of
Sun Parlour Co-op in Leam-
ington where they have
conformed to A & P demands
and received criticisms for it.
"In Toronto there have
been two murders of produc-
ers," said Mr. Hill, "and
there have been rumours of
involvement of the Mafia in
this.
No charges are to be laid
over the discounting practis-
es, which have been going on
since 1972.
The Huron Federation of
Agriculture supported the
resolution after a general
discussion where ,members
agreed that such practices
were not fair to producers all
over.
Repairmain street bridge
The bridge.under the main
street is to • be repaird to
eliminate excessive vibra-
tions in Schmid's Jewellery
Store and MacKenzie and
McCreath Funeral Home
when trucks drive over the
bridge.
B. M. Ross Associates
reported to Town Council at
their June meeting that the
asphalt approach to both
sides of the roadway struc-
ture of the bridge is some-
what lower than the asphalt
impact loading from' heavy
trucks onto the bridge deck.
Ross proposes to pave the
approaches to the bridge to
make an even approach and
eliminate the problem. The
proposal is subject to approv-
al by the Ministry of Trans-
portation and Communica-
tion.
