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
partpf Stephen and
Bosanquet townships to
increase its population and -
assessment and allow
residents a say in t•he
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
$10.004 )

The pntario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) reports
ttiat the mid -summer drop in
farrp gate pries has now
shown up in grocery stores.
The OFA's Farmer Price
Index )FPI 1 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 benefitedfully 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 statea'. retail
prices continue
distance the price
farmers. Since Aug
the retail price of domestic
food has increased by 19.2
percent whits the farmer has
received only 12. 5 percent
more. t
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 53.25
a bushel. During the same
period. however. a 24 oz loaf
of bread has gone up 49
percent and a five pound hag
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.
