Co -Op profits up
The Hensall and District Co-
operative posted a total net profit of
$691,000 for the fiscal year ending July
31, 1986. This dramatic turnaround
from the $67,000 bottom line of the
previous year contributed to the com-
placent mood of the more than 300 Co-
op customers who attended the an-
nual dinner meeting, held this year in
the Seatorth Community Centre.
Glen Thiel, president of the board
of directors, reported on some of the

year's highlights.
After an unsuccessful $1,000,000 bid
to purchase the 425,000 -bushel
Seaforth location of the former On-
tario Bean Growers' Co-op, the Hen-
sall Co-op built a 5,000 -bushel per hour
receiving facility northeast of
Seaforth at a cost of $115,000. Over
400,000 bushels of corn and beans
from the 1986 harvest were received
at this site. Equipment for liquid
fertilizer, propane and petrol was also
purchased.
Additional propane and petrol tanks
and equipment and new elevator
equipment were acquired at Hensall.
The W.G. Hayter elevator at Var-
na was leased in September for one
year. Producer support will be the
determining factor in future decisions
on this facility.
Members approved a resolution to
declare a 1.5 percent patronage divi-
dend to dispense $360,000 of the year's
profit on member purchases and
grain and bean sales to the elevators.
The balance will be retained to im-
prove members' equity.
Manager Earl Wagner attributed
the great improvment to increased
volume at the various outlets, which
allowed for more efficient operation
and increased buying and marketing
opportunities. Wagner said that over
the past five years the Hensall Co-op
has netted $2,467,000,. and returned
$1,181,000 to members in the form of
patronage dividends. Over $5.5
tenfold
Million has been spent in that time
period to improve members' services.
Guest speaker Jack Riddell reaf-
firmed his faith in a positive future for
agriculture, despite the many tough
challenges facing the industry. The
minister of agriculture outlined some
of the provincial programs available
to attract young people, assist some
farmers to hang on, and help others
leaving the industry.
Riddell also listed some long-term
government policies such as boosting
domestic and foreign sales, genetic
and management improvements, soil
conservation, and research that are
designed to make the Canadian
farmer more competitive in global
markets.
Riddell praised co-ops for doing a
remarkable job under the worst con-
ditons since the '30s. Citing the
benefits of cooperation as the most
important lesson he learned years ago
as president of the Exeter Co-op, Rid-
dell told his audience their job was to
grow the food and run the businesses,
and he was there to help them achieve
their objectives.
Peter Boersma and Barry,Taylor
were re-elected to the board of direc-
tors. Newcomer Jim Papple won out .
over John Groot to fill the remaining
vacancy.
Increases in directors' per diem
rates from $50 to $55 for night and
half-day meetings, and from $75 to $80
for all -day sessions were approved.

Dashwood wants larger area
Page 5
Consider fire boundary changes
After spending an hour defending
their decision to accept a tender to
purchase a backhoe from a London
firm rather than actcepting the lowest
tender from a local dealer, members
of Hay township council turned to
other items on the agenda of their
first day meeting since last winter.
(The backhoe story appears
elsewhere in this edition.)
One of the first matters to be dealt
with was a request by the Dashwood
and area fire board to extend its boun-
daries into territory now covered by
the Grand Bend and Exeter boards.
Councillors had no objections to
transferring lots 12 and 13, South
Boundary, to the east now under Ex-
eter, and lots 32, 33 and 34 on the west,
now Grand Bend's responsibility, pro-
vided Hay's share of the costs would
be adjusted accordingly. Councillor
Claire Deichert said Stephen and
Usborne townships also want to
renegotiate the Exeter boundaries.
The matter will be discussed at a joint
meeting of area boards.
Wilder said his main concern was
that people involved wanted the
changes, and were fully informed as
to which board to call in case of fire.
Council did not concur with another
Dashwood request for retainer fees
for all members of the Dashwood fire
department. Wilder said he had no ob-
jection to paying the chief and his
deputy, but "we are not paying
volunteers in Hensel] and Zurich -
why Dashwood?" Wilder said if
volunteers get paid, they are no
longer volunteers but part-time
employees.
Councillor Don Weigand reported
that Jim Sweitzer had been awarded
the contract to install electric heating
in certain areas of the Dashwood
Community Centre.
The children and staff of the
Huron St. residence would
like to thank the Elimville
UCW for their generous
donation of $100.00. This
money has been put toward
the cost of a home computer
for the children. We would
also like to wish you a very
Merry Christmas.
Sincerely
The Children and Staff of
Huron St.
In response to a letter from the law
firm of Raymond and McLean asking
council's epwion on closing only a
portion of road as requested by Paul
Cyr for property at part lots 15 and 16,
concession 11, council will recom-
mend that either all or none of the
road be closed. The matter will be
discussed at a meeting this week with
Huron County planner Patty
Munkittrick.
No interest was shown in switching
liability insurance to a municipal
reciprocal plan, as the proposal would
not include the Hay Municipal
Telephone System.
Council acceded to a request from
Leonard Hoffman that the township
landfill site be closed on Wednesdays
from January 14 to March 11, 1987.
Clerk Joan Ducharme reported tax
arrears for 1986 of $139,941.43,
representing 10.09 percent of assess-
ment. Last year at this time 12 per-
cent of taxes were in arrears.
Outstanding arrears to date since 1963
total $179,555.48. The 1983 arrears of
13,481.90 is under tax registration at
the county in preparation for a tax
sale.
Two severance applications from
Daniel Laporte which in effect create
five lots at Lake Road South,
registered plan 12, were approved.
Wilder said no more work on
municipal drains will be undertaken
this year. Noting the backlog of work
which should have been done, he rais-
ed the possibility of hiring an addi-
tional engineering firm next year.
A questionnaire from the Huron
and Perth Emergency Health Ser-
vices asking for details of existing
emergency health services in the
township was filled out.
Council adjourned at 3:30
