It is the largest volume sold by producers during an en, - tire crop year for -mord than 16 years. . The Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board is responsible for the purchase and sale of ,alt wheat sold by producers under a new agency or pooling system established in 1973. Officials of the board were concerned over the high volume of wheat which came to market during late July, August and September because of the ship- ping strike which crippled movement on the Great Lakes. However, since the strike has been settled, normal movement has once again been established • and the boated has moved stocks of wheat forward to ex- port terminals to meet sales, commitments. Board officials said this week that carryover stocks of 1973 wheat which were sold for -ex- port delivery in .late September and which 'totalled ap- proximately three million bushels, have all been loaded out. In addition, some stocks -of 1974 new crop wheat are also being loaded out for export.. Of the total of approximately 16,000,000 bushels of ner crop purchased by the board, about 5.4 million have been sold for domestic flour milling pur- poses, and about 1.7 million bushels have been sold and moved into export markets to; date. Smaller volumes have been sold for seed and feed, representing 166,600 bushels and 11,560 bushels respec- tively. Additional export sales have been made totalling about 7,000,000 bushels in all,with deliveries to be completed later in the year. Present board owned inven- tory totals approximately .CANTDU 9,000,000 bushels located in various deep water terminal' elevate► s. With ►ld crop carryover saes complete, the marketing board will now be in position to close- out the books on the 1973 crop and. therefore arrange for a final payment to producers; To date, producers, have received an initial payment on their 197:3 crop of $1.51 per bushel, plus a first interim. payment of 50c per bushel, and a second Interim payment alfa, $1.00 per bushel, fop a' total $3,01 less lc board licence fee. The final payment which has been. estimated at ap- pruximately ;36c perfhushel will, with the federal government • two price wheat payment. , The federal government payatient, as announced by Mr. Harry W. Leggett,'director, Grains and' Special Crops Division, Production and Marketing Branch, Agriculture Canada, to the annual meeting of t he Ontario wheat producer, held in Guelph" on September 36th, •1974, is to be turned ever to the marketing board no later than November 15th. The amount represents the difference between -the .$3,25, pegged domestic price of wheat used for human Consumption and the higher export price, received by the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board. Bruce. County teachers get 13% pay boost.. Bruce County's 300 elemen- tary school teachers will be making 13 per cent more money this year than in 1973. Yearly increases for teachers in seven salary categories will be from $500 a year. to $1,900 a year, depending on the number of years experience and level of education of the teacher. .0 addition to this basic across-the-board increase, prin- ,'cipals in ,schools with more than eight classrooms will be paid $2,000 plus $250 a year for each classroom they',re respon- sible for. In schools with less than eight classrooms, -prin- cipals will be paid $300 a year for each classroom in addition to basic salary and vice- principals will receive $150 for each occupied classroom plus salary. Other .changes in the 1974- •1975 agreement include health insurance, extended health benefits and group life in- surance, of which the board .will pay 75 per cent. Last year, the board covered these costs. 66 and two-thirds per cent. Negotiations this year were slower, not only ' in Bruce Committee concerned about continuing leaks County, but all over the province, trustee Maitland Warder said. Salaries this year range from $6,200 to $9,000 in Category.l (lowest), $6,600 or $10,900 in Category 2, $7,000 to $12,700 in Category 3, $7,900 to $14,800 in Category 4, $8,300 to $15,700 in Category 5, $9,300 to $17,900 in, Category 6 and $9,900 . to $19,000 in Category 7. Salaries- in categories- 4 to 7 may be adjusted when the -..1974-1975 , secondary school teachers' agreement is com- plete, Mr. Warder said. "In,paying teachers, you have to pay on the same level for the numbers of years' experience," he said. Negotiations for the 200 secondary teachers are still un- derway, and education director John Bowers said the agreement will probably he ratified by November. .At their meeting. on October would spent this money making ' 17th the CANTDU Committee available to she general public discussed the significance of the information and facts which continuing problems with leaks have been either suppressed by of radioactive heavy water the advocates of ,nuclear from the' heat transfer systems energy, or are simply not at Pickering. realized by the 'man in the „ While these leaks - to date - street'.

CANTDU resolved that they will demand the the Ontario Minister of Energy reconsider plans to greatly expand nuclear generating facilities within the province, and give serious con- sideration to alternate solutions. The group" will ask the Energy Control Board to halt" the, ljceticing and construction of further reactors in view of the serious defects at Pickering, and will request a" full report from Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., concerning these ,defects in the CANDU reactor system and similar defects experienced in many of the reactors in the U.S. which have been. .shut down, •.

(continued from page 2) Suncoast is dumping ;a new source of tax revenue into the laps of Goderich people. That's certainly a point in favor of the local developers,not-natter how you look at it. A brief chat Tuesday with Gord Hall -of A & P gave oppor- tunity -to-ask a question which has been on the minds of many Goderich citizens since the plaza 'talks first began. Goderich will not be getting a new food chain in town. Although this was one of the arguments, used by Suncoast to show the downtown merchants that the plaza would not be as great a threat to their. businesses: as they thought, it is the considered opinion of many shoppers that more competition in the food business is vitally needed in Goderich. Rockledge plaza Principals recognize this fact. One of the points set out by • Rockledge concerning their proposal was Delbar..... (continued from page 1) Goderich." Mr. Shewfelt said. "Also the people of the area like to get out`and I think the spot could become accessible to a total 4,ge• group. Mr. Shewfelt is very anxious to proceed with the plans and is, convinced that• tire proposed motel would he a big asset to the town. that if their plaza was established, a new food chain would be coming to the area. So the question for Mr. Hall on Tuesday: With A & P simply rnoving"across town into larger; brighter, ,quarters with greater over,head expenses, how . wil,l this' benefit the local shoppers other than creating a more pleasant shopping atmosphere? How will it affect prices? Mr. Hall was not prepared for the qu'bstion to be sure, hut he did say that A & P prices are no,t governed by the size of the store or the decor of the store or the extras offered within •the ,store. He• said the A & P ap- preciated Goderich business and would continue to provide competitive prices .i in the in- terest of the shopping public. 4 What, now? The final chap- ters still are riot written,"" and anyie who. feels the whole dilemma has been resolved and is settled once and for all time, is in for some surprises.' Wil'l,the businessmen get the zoning downtown --they,-want? Do they still have a couple. of aces up their sleeves? Will the Minister successfully appeal the Rockledge matter? Will •Rockledge fold their tents and ride off into the -sunset? ,Will Suncoast he able to get their building pe mit without further delay? Will the plaza provide the kind of retail activity people say they need and want? Is the plaza really viable,? There's many, questions still unanswered.
