Mr..411an recently stated bis
position :on the question and
made a umber of interesting
Comments On the past,
present and future operation
of lite board.
.,As MI'. Alien's story is only
one side Of the question, the
News lotends to do a similar
interview will Phil Durand of
Zuric16, Chairman of the
board,, whose views caning
withthose Of Mr. Alumni. •
"We in the bean industry
should ;be working together to
sell Canadian beans, not
fighting amongst ourselves
all the time." lamented bean
farmer Robert Allan* of
Brucefield.
Mr. Allan had recently lost
, his position as a member of
the Ontario Bean Marketing
Board, mainly because of his
position on a contentious
issue . among the bean far-
mers of Huron County, but
the loss of his seat didn't
seem to bother him as much
as the disagreement among
fellow producers,
"He (Phil Durand) has
been going around telling.
farmers that the mills are,
making millions of dollars at
the expense of the producer."
said Mr. Allan, "1 would
agree that the mills are
probably getting a little more
than they need but under the
present circumstances with
the producers disagreeing
among themselves they're
protecting themselves."
Mr. Allan believes the bean
producers can operate ef-
ficiently through the dealers
as they have been for many
years.
According to Mr. Allan, the
producers are already
group Wi'
dealers. 1

Hensatl, Thompson's of,
Remelt WWater's at Parkhill,
the ltensail District Co-op
the Ontario Bean Grower's
Co-op in London, are already .
sufficiently controlled by mth
• board, in Mr, Allans opinion.,
Mr. Allan eapins that the
dealers have international w
connections `and are known,
and trusted by bean pur-
chasers in foreign countries.
Since 75 percent • of the
Ontario grown beans are
marketed to other countries,
a continuation of this market
is essential to growers. Mr.
Allan feels that for the board
to attempt to step in and sell
directly to foreign customers
would be a risk that isn't
worth taking. ` - ` -
The charge by Mr. Durand
that the producers lost a
million dollars in one'sale is a
"daydream" according to
Mr. Attain. He explained that
oneyear the American bean
crop was poor and the
Americans had to bt,{y beans
to fill orders. Since the
demand was there, the- bean
board set the price at $50 per
bag. One of the dealers -
charged $60 a bag when
reselling them to the
Americans.
"To say that the high price
was responsible for a surplus
..of 100,000 bags that same year
is foolish." said Mr. Allan. "'It
wasn't because of high prices
it was because the American
demand was filled."
Mr. Durand's charge that
the bean industry as, sub-
sidizing beans for seed which
are not being used for seed is
also false according to Mr.
Allan. He said that the board
plugged a loophole two years
ago by insisting thalt the
dealers buy only enough
beans for seed as would be
used for seed. This year, he
said, 50,900 bags were sub-
sidized b$r the boar.i as seed
and 50.000 bags were
repurchased by producers as

degree, .by John Malin. He
sold Mr. Haxlltt wants to
thoroughly investigate the
possibility before :takingany
action. The remainder of the
board, inother bean

opposed to bypassing the

Mr. Allan also charged ,that
Mr. -Durand was not acting on

Even . though they . are at

Durand and refers to him as
"one of ^the best board

idea about bypassing the

Special fund aids those
hit by striking teachers
Ontario taxpayers who are hit by school strikes will
receive a municipal tax credit the following year,
Educationster Thomas Wells announced last week.
Mr. Wells told a meeting of more than 450 school board
chairmen and officials that school boards will have to put
the money saved as a- result of unpaid salaries during a
strike into a special fund,
The money will be used either to lower mill rates for
local taxpayers the following year or to be applied
against any increase in the educational mill rate.
He said that the Ministry will require that, in areas
where school strikes have occurred, the municipal tax
bill be accompanied by a notice showing the amount of
money in the special fund and the amount by which it
reduced the mill rate.
