The Ontario Government has
announced the Introduction of
the Ontario Beef Calf Income
Jabilization Program as the
fit such program to which
reference was made in the
Opt speech last ApriL
The voluntary program is
based On the insurance prin-
ciple Whereby a stabilization
fund will be established from
the producer and -Government
premiums With -the Ontario
'goVenunent adding $2.00 to the
fund for each $1.00 of producer
4premiums.
• The program provides for the
establishment of an ANNUAL
'SUPPORT LEVEL for weaned
calves and if the average price
of Weaned calves for that year
falls below the support level a
payment will be calculated
• back to- a per cow basis and
paid from the fund.
As mentioned above, the
program follows the insurance
'The Clinton Police Depart-
ment investigated ,three ac-
cidents over the weekend, but
no injuries were reported.
,t‘ Last Saturday morning, a
ruckto driverytty %Acre.- 5.,"
Bechtel of North Bay was in
reollision with a car driven by
David Parker of London. The
accident, which occurred on
Victoria Street south, caused
about $775 damage.
Shortly after noon last
Saturday, a car driven by Paul
Richard . Byers of Princess
• Street, Clinton and a car driven
by William Hamilton of Lon-
, desboro were involved in a
4 collision at the corner of Albert
and Princess Street. Police set
total damage at about $1,500.
Early last Sunday morning,
August 24, a parked car owned
by Albert Wubs of Clinton was
-by—another -vehtcle-- -
which then fled the scene.
Police are seeking the other
vehicle involved in that ac-
cident on Victoria Street
principle and consequently is
not designed to cover the full
costs of production. The sup-
port level is established on the
basis of covering 100 percent of
the cash operating costs in a
cow -calf operation . and a
partial percentage of the costs
associated with labour,
management and return on
investment
Ontialo cow -calf producers
who opt to enrol in the program
must join for a minimum
period of five years. There is no
maximum on the number of
cows which may be enrolled in
the program by a producer and
a producer may join the
program during the enrolment
period in any year.
Over a five year period
payment into and out of the
stabilization - fund should
balance. The progfarn assumes
that a 450 lb. weaned calf will
be sold from 85 percent of the
cow herd and payment made
regardless of whether the
enrolled producer keeps or sells
hios calves. •
Cows enrolled with the
Canadian Dairy Commission
(and hence shipping fluid or
industrial milk) are not eligible
for the,,proaaro. ,
producer - 55.00;
2. For 1975 a support level of
50c per ib. for weaned calves is
established;
3. Weaned calf prices for
Northern Ontario stocker sales
and the Ontario Public Stock
Yards during September,
October and November will be
used to establish the calf price ;
4, Producers who wish to enrol
. must do so by August 31 each
year;
5. For 1975, because of the
limited time .available, no
premium will be paid by
outlined
producers who enrol Nit rather
the premium will be deducted
from the gross per cow
payment declared;
6 In the event of calf prices
-falling below the support level
during September, October -and
November of each year,
payment will be declared and
made from the fund in
December of that year; ,
7. Application forms and in-
formation on the program will
be avai)able in County and
district offices of the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food.

projected that the tax con-
cession amounted to $410
r.nillion which could carry a
stabilization program through
three years.
"Corporate concessions do
not lead to more jobs, they lead
to more corporate profit," he
said. "The transfer of funds is
both socially desirable and
socially requited."

prices would be averaged over
a five year period and would
not appease farmers during
these difficult times."
