After ble discussion the ion has agreed that By Jack Riddell,`" the 95 percent maximum will be the limiting factor for the corn plan for 1977 and thus the :corn crop would be stabilized to 90 percent by the Federal Government and, using today's figures, that amounts to $2.18 per bushel. This Provincial plan can then pay an additionaleleven cents per bushel, bringing the calculated stabilized price for corn in Ontario to $2.29. This figure may be adjusted when more,, current costs and marketing . information are available. For white beans, the Commission has deemed that the cost of production is the limiting factor and therefore this year's crop would be stabilized at $12.20 per hundredweight or up to 76 cents per hundredweight if the price .falls that amount below the $12.20. Currently the Federal Government has made no commitment to the white bean producers that they will stabilize at the 90 percent level. The Commission would request producers to submit all sales slips to the Com- mission immediately after 'the plan year has been completed. The Commission intends to make payments to the producer as soon as possible following August 31, 1978. _Th 'O atio overrirrte has released an information package on the con- tamination of fish in Ontario waters. Signs are to be posted at public access points where some species of fish are known to be contaminated. Where there are problems, many species of fish are still safe to eat - some in limited quantities only. However, others should be avoided. Members of the public are urged to check their catch, to identify species, to measure length of fish, and to check charts for the respective lake or waterway to make sure of the amount of such fish safe for human consumption over a specific period. Anyone fishing, on and off, for more than three weeks, during the .year, and eating their catch, should consider themselves a long-term consumer, ac- cording to charts or in- formation given concerning the waterway. Children under 15 and women of child-bearing age should eat only those fish designated as totally safe, and it should be remembered that a meal is considered equivalent to 230 grams or 8 ounces. Fish should not be taken home for freezing and eating, unless it is from the totally safe category. Information " about the . waters in which you plan to fish can be obtained from regional and district offices of the Ministries of the Environment and Natural Resources, or by writing to the Ministry ' of the Environment, Information Services Branch, 135 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto, Ontario, M4B 1P5. Fish in many parts of the world have been affected by natural and industrial con- taminants, and as an in- dustrialized province, Ontario has not escaped this problem. Metal mercury is the most widely found toxic pollutant, although man-made materials such as DDT, mirex and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) have also been found in fish in dangerous amounts. Apart from industrial pollution, fish can only become con- taminated by mercury from natural sources, from con- centrations of mercury naturally occurring as mineral deposits in the bedrock. The Government's in- formation package on this probleem, mints _out thatsincg contaminants were first discovered in fish in the 1960s, governments have developed extensive, monitoring programs to detectcon- tamination, and have used, their powers to restrict Jhe manufacture or use .of,,the offending substances.. There were six Chlor -alkali plants using mercury in Ontario in 1970. They were ordered to curtail mercury losses. All complied and contamination dropped from several pounds per day to a few ounces. Today, only two plants use mercury and their losses " to waterways are extremely low. One of the two plants is to close this year. Use of mercurial slimicides by° pulp and paper mills was stopped in 1970. In mining, mercury was in widespread use to separate gold and silver from the ore, in the early twentieth cen- tury. It is still used in some gold mines, but in a con- trolled manner. However, ,_some mercury is still being found in disposal areas from gold, silver and copper mines.
