The accused was charged after giving worthless the ques to an Exeter business for items received on three separate dates in June and for gas and cash received from a Zurich gas station on two oc- casions in May. The Exeter store was given full restitution for the $158.33 and the Zurich business 'received restitution for $55. The woman said her estranged husband was to have made deposits to the ac- count on which she wrote the cheques, but he had failed to do so. Noting that she had a previous record for posses- sion of stolen property and theft, Judge Cochrane said she was taking a big chance in view of her previous record and he cautioned that she could be brought back to face the charges if she does not keep the terms of the probation. r An absolute discharge was granted to Terry Ronald Mor- rison, Huron Park, who plead- ed guilty to a charge of taking $4 worth of cauliflower from a field owned by Veri Farms on August 14. He was apprehended by a policeman who spotted him running from the field with his arms full of cauliflower at 12:15 a.m. Judge Cochrane said he thought the act was out of character for the accused. A conditional discharge and probation of one year was given to Mary Louise Kamin- ski, Islington, who was con- victed of taking items valued at $9.89 from an . Exeter grocery store on June 29. The items were found in her purse when she was stopped outside the -store. Her lawyer noted the woman was on the brink of a promising medical career as she is a lecturer on internal medicire at Toronto Western Hospital. He said a conviction could affect her medical. licence and her citizenship as she is a landed immigrant from the U.S.A. At Tuesday's court, Leo Ducharme, Grand Bend, agreed to enter into a $500 peace bond for one year as did Fraser Wayne Anderson and Steve Gollan. Each had been charged with threatening. No .. plea was taken. Soccer squad posts victory The Grand Bend-Ausable league soccer team is on a hot streak. They downed Nairn by a 2-1 score, Sunday and will now be idle for one week. After a scoreless first half, Joe Mommersteeg put Grand Bend ahead on a breakaway. After Nairn tied the score Rob Mennon booted the winner with only minutes left in regulation time. The Grand Bend Colonials dropped a 5-1 decision to Lon- don Coringa in London and district first division play. Coringa broke the game open with three goals in the last 20 minutes of play. Kevin Simmons notched the only score for the Colonials on an indirect kick from 20 yards out. The Colonials are also off for one week and will be back on Sunday, September 11 to meet Calabria, in London. In the only minor soccer ac- tion of the week, Grand Bend blanked Taxandria 8-0.

Patrons get opportunity to tour CSB post office Grand Bend postmaster, Gar Johnston, welcomed about 300 area residents for the first public tour of Grand Bend's new post office Friday afternoon. Staff moved into the building in May of 1982 and residents have been pleased with the service the new building provides. The post office is one of two in southwestern Ontario to make use of passive solar heating. The system was designed by Solar Teck Co. Fonthill for Public Works Canada. In the Grand Bend 3000 square foot building, there is a room storing 11 tons of rocks. below special glass. The rock stores the energy and fans circulate the heat through the building. There is an electrical back-up system for times when the sunlight is less than required to heat the building. Johnston says that they us- ed little hydro last winter, "but it was a mild winter". Other buildings tested were using up to 60 percent of solar energy in the winter for heating, he said. The Grand Bend building is also one of the first to feature a drive-in service. The park- ing area is beside 1,330 out- door lock boxes. The boxes are located under a large canopy, providing shelter for customers when the. weather is bad. Grand Bend's first post of- fice opened 'in'1872 on the main street. In the mid -fifties, a new building was con- structed at 81 Crescent to begin the commercial development of that street, which now accommodates five commercial enterprises.

August 31, 1983 Page 3 Crop pries looking good The prices for corn, white beans and soybeans could hit near record levels for the 1963 crop according to three ex- perts speaking at Wednes- day's "Crop' Update" session at the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology. While cash crop farmers may have cheered the news, livestock producers were ob- viously not as elated and all three experts noted that the price those livestock pro- ducers can afford to pay in view of their commodity returns could be one of the limiting factors on the price of corn and soybeans.' Charlie Broadwell of the Ontario bean Producers Marketing Board hinted that farmers could expect prices of betwecr, $28.50 and $30.70 for white beans, but caution- ed that the sales being record- ed now in the U.S. at $39 and $35 (which is over $40 Cana- dian) constituted "a lot of paper trading", "The potential is there for an excellent return", he reported, although quickly added it was still anybody's guess as to what would hap- pen and it would be another waiting game. Adverse weather conditions in all bean growing areas, coupled with the number of acres taken out of beans after last year's dismal return, should result in something around 6,600,000 bags in On- tario, Michigan, Minnesota and North Dakota. The figure includes a carryover of 1,500,00 bags from last year's record crop of 9,000,000 bags that resulted in the initial (and only) payment of $11.96 to Ontario farmers. In answer to a question from the audience, Broadwell said the board would be ap- plying to the federal govern- ment for a stabilization pay- ment on last year's crop but warned that there was no assurance that it would be forthcoming. Someone asked if the 1977 marketing fiasco had been cleared up yet and he explain- ed that everyone was moving as quickly as possible on that matter, but he had little to report Broadwell, similar to those expressing comments on corn and soybeans, noted that all white bean growers still had to hope for a respectable type of fall for this year's harvest. It is expected to get underway this week, although the ma- jority won't be coming off un- til mid-September. Doug White, new general manager of the Ontario Soy- bean Marketing Board, mak- ing his first appearance in that new capacity since mov- ing over from the white bean group, reported that the average yield expected was still being moved downwards, although ' opinions on that vary wildly. He alsoindicated some pro- spect of harvest losses due to the growth variation in the fields. The crop is about two weeks behind normal and an untimely killer frost would "significantly reduce yield" even more than is now estimated. Noting that soybeans have increased in price over the past five weeks, often trading up the daily limit, he said it was a "weather market". The prediction for November prices in the U.S. is $9.65, bringing the Canadian equivalent to something just under $11 per bushel. White suggested that if the price does reach that $11 figure, the demand could drop off as meat producers will use wheat and other grian. He said the 1984 prediction is for an even greater acreage of soybeans in Ontario 'with more competition from the U.S. Looking even further into the future, the new 'general manager said yield predic- tions for the year 2002 call for 46 bushels to the acre, Predic- tions this year are for 25 or less and in 1982 the figure was around 35. On hand to tail( about corn was Dick Moffat of Teasdale Grain Ltd. When he asked after if there were any ques- tions to his comments, one farmer jokingly shouted "We haven't understood what you said anyway." "Good," Moffat replied, , GAME TIME — Teachers Sandra Baarda and Susan Wilts supervise a game of a- tisket-a-tasket during a DVBS organized by Bethel Reformed and held at Christian Reformed church. Members of both congregations participated. "I've accomplished my goal". In his tack, saturated with humor and comments about the confusing situation con- cerning this year's corn crop, Moffat did note corn was in the middle -- or the end -- of the biggest bull market in years, or possibly history. Noting the unfavorable DOUG WHITE ....new soybean manager says yield down and prices up. weather in the U.S. corn belt, Moffat said that Ontario farmers came close to joining in the c rop disaster which he predicted will see a max- imum price of $3.90. Above that price it was ex- plained that it would be uneconomical to feed hogs and cattle and "the animals will know what it means to have no job security." He then said he doubted the price would go over $3.85 and said the producers should have 50 percent of their crop sold now on forward advance. "Don't hang on for the top of the market", he cautioned, noting that "you never go broke making a profit". He concluded by telling his audience that 9ny trader who says he knows what the market will do is either lying or deluding himself.
