What had been expected to be a 195 -million -pound harvest of white beans will be down nearly 10 percent on the average. °Crops actually ruined could have been worth more than a million and a half at $9.00 a hundredweight. However, aside from weather problems, the 1972 harvest is expected to reach a record 180 million pounds, due to a 34 per-. 'cent increase in acreage over 1.971. But, the board has estimated 20 million pounds will be lower - grade No. 2 and No. 1 beans. "Now this is going to be a bit of a challenge to sell 'this," Mr. Broadwell said. "We have con- tacted (the) industry, trade and commerce (department) and tr�ye of bectns we're trying to get the Wd. _ to any of the countries interested in this type of bean that we have them.'.' increase in the lower -grade beans was due to what Mr. Broadwell described * as "off color which was caused from high -moisture." He said their level is as much as 30 percent. The normal level is about 18 per- cent. He also blamed the June frost for some of the crop loss. Mr. Broadwell said most of the beans which farmers have not been able to harvest because of wet weather during the past two months "will be a dead loss. Some of them may. be covered under crop insurance."

By Murray Gaunt, MPP, (Huron Bruce) w+r Repp.rt from 4Qu.Een!s par Choppy political waters faced Premier William Davis this week as the session resumed from the summer recess, with the Opposi- tion peppering the premier with questions about whether political contributions can buy govern- ment favors. Mr. Davis maintained that the Fidinam (Ontario) Limited gift of $50,000 to the Ontario Conser- vative Party in July, 1971, was in no way linked to the Cabinet's de- cision a month earlier to approve a $15 million loan from the Work- men's Compensatiop Board for development of an office hotel complex. The Workmen's Com- pensation Board will rent offices in the development for $1.4 mil- lion a year. • „ The premier rejected Oiposi- tion calls for an enquiry into the matter. Morton Shulman (NDP High Park) asked why . Fidinam had been cleared for a $15 million loan when a Dunn and Bradstreet report indicated • the corlhpany was slow in repaying a loan of $1,579. "If they can't pay back $1,579, how are they going to pay us back our $15.million?" he said.

Two provincial Ministers announced freezes that will help curb the spiralling costs to the public Treasury of education and health. Jack McNie, Minister of Colleges and Universities, cut off provincial funds for new capital construction at Ontario's institu- tions of higher learning. The freeze will last for `years" he said. - Meanwhile, Health • Minister Richard Potter declared a one, year moratorium on provincial aid for new or expanded active' treatment hospital facilities. He also put a five per cent ceiling on increases in hospital operating costs. Legislation to end situations where people have lost the chance for jobs or credit because of inaccurate information or. anonymous rumors about their way of life was introduced this week. The bill seeks to restrict firmly the activities of credit re- korting agencies which sell per- sonal information to employers, banks, companies offering loans or credit and insurance agencies. The legislation gives an in- dividual the right under law to know what information the credit agencies have on him and correct any inaccurate information.
