Report from Queen's Park 'Agriculture and Food • Minister Lorne Henderson has tabled the Report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Discounting and Allowances in the Food Industry. The 593 -page report by commission chair- man Judge Wilfred Leach says rebates and discounts, where processors pay retailers . to sell their pro- ducts, don't add to con- sumer's cost of buying food, and in fact lower the cost. Jack Riddell, MPP ( Huron -Middlesex), calls this report a "whitewash", and points out that the con= elusions and recommenda- tions "have little or no connection with the testi- mony which was ` heard ENERGY T:Ps A GLASSIo.IN PORCH facing south acts as a SOLAR COLLECTOR, adding warmth to your home by being warmed by the sun. yam,,,,,„ 11 during the inquiry". Three major recommen- dations were made by the commission: that no further inquiries be conducted into the discounting practices in the food industry unless per- suasive and substantial. evidence is adduced that such an inquiry is required; that the sale of wine be per- mitted by both large and small retailers; and that the Legislature consider the establishment of a forum, outside government, to mediate problems between the various levels in the food industry, and to clear up the confusion about " rebating practices.. Mr. Riddell feels that the discounting and rebate practices have "a very damaging efgect for both producers and consumers", and states that "the whole competitive, market structure is warped out of shape". The commission in its con- clusion said • the Ontario' farmer and farm prices were not adversely affected by the rebating system, mostly because farmer were pro- tected by marketing boards. However, the Ontario' Federation of Agriculture has responded to this by pointing out that the marketing board legislation stops at the farm gate, and the legislation does not assure farmers that there will• be a market for their products, let alone a growing market. The OFA states that if is the big chains that con- trol the markets and deter- mine what shall be sold and at what prices. The OFA, in outlining its position on discounts and allowances, points out that a few large firms dominate grocery distribution in Canada and Ontario. It states further that the large companies sell so large a share of the groceries that this in itself gives them a great deal of power over the manufacturers and pro- ducers -shippers and other suppliers. In measuring the influence of the chains relative to the nation-wide suppliers, large food manufacturers in Canada would sell about three=fifths of their product to the five largest chains. In Ontario, which has more than 13 of the food -at-home market in Canada, three large chains especially carry on an intense rivalry. It is well known in the talk around trade circles that if a supplier wants to sell in volume in Ontario, he must sell Loblaws and Dominion, according to the OFA. Mean- while, the share of in- dependent grocers in Ontario continues to decline, from 39 per cent in 1967 to 26 per cent in 1978 (Canadian Grocer) . Discdunting and allow- ances give the chains a lower purchasing price than smaller retailers. These dis counts and rebates " have many names and forms, according to the OFA report. The OFA has requested that the Government of Ontario refuse to accept the report of the commission.

A Thorold company, whose proposal for a project t� solidify liquid industrial waste has been supported by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, is under in- vestigation by the ministry and police for practices at its dump site. The Ontario Provincial Police is conducting a probe of Walker Bros. Quarries Ltd. and its subsidiary, Woodington Systems Inc. Meanwhile, a parallel in- vestigation by the Environ- ment Ministry under the Environmental Protection Act is also underway. As part of that investi- gation, a search is being con- ducted for three tanker trucks and one flat-bed truck, containing a load of 45 -gallon drums of solidified paint sludge, buried at the quarry site near the Welland I Canal.

Treasurer Frank Miller, in commenting on the Federal Budget, which was presented this week, stated that he was very concerned with the fact that it did not deal with the economic pro- blems, with unemployment or inflation.

The students had a good time and the weather was agreeable: for practically the entire game but were edged 6-5 es the Ram netminder was superb. Rams drop Royals 6.'5 I:'�hind:hot g�aitending Local hockey fans were, treated toan entertaining exibition of fast -paced hey Friday night when th hometown Royals hosted the Mount Forest Rams. Behind superlative goal- tending by Reeves, the Rams held on to defeat the Royals 6-5. From the opening faceoff . the . Royals went on the at- tack and peppered the Earns with shot after shot, but were unable to beat the Mount Forest netminder. It was the Rams who opened the scoring late in the period. The Royals: again went on the attack . in the second period, and again outskated and outchecked the visitors. Wingham potted four goals in the period, three of them on the powerplay. However. Mount . Forest marksmen fobnd the net three., times.to deadlock: the game at four at 'period end. 'Scoring for Wingham was Students .compete with businesses. A Huron.. County Board of Education trustee has charged that student. councils actively involved in soliciting are taking dollars away from businessmen who pay taxes to support the edu- cation system. Herb Turkheim, trustee for the township of Hay and the villages of Zurich and Hensall, told the board Mon- day that student council fund-raising efforts are often taking business from the community. "South Huron Secondary School students are soliciting orders for grapefruits and oranges and I just can't go a- long with it," he said. "They are taking money away from the businessman who pays taxes to support education." Mr. Turkheim said one of the students indicated the council could realize a $5,000 profit from the sale of grape-'' fuit and oranges which, he said, was competition. "The business should go to the food stores and it is wrong to let students com- pete with them," he claimed. "They are taking a lot of business away from the local '1 businessman and that can hurt the stores." Goderich and Colborne Township trustee, Shirley Hazlitt, asked what the dif- ference_was in selling fruit, candy or chocolate bars. "It just isn't fair," Mr. Turkheim retorted. "They are paying for the students through taxes and been they get competition from the stu- dents." Director of Education John Cochrane, said the board policy dictates that students must give fair value for money received. And in that respect, he said, the sale of grapefruits and oranges Is legal. Mrs. Hazlitt told trustees that curtailing student in- volvement in, fundraising ventures was not the answer. "We want them to have ini- tiative but we keep elireinat- ing things for themto do. '\Whe't's left? Mr. Turkheim said that distributors talk student councils into the proposition and take the money out of the .cgmmunity. He introduced a motion to review the policy of selling but it was defeated by a narrow margin. Board vice chairman, John Henderson, said that vending 'machines fall into the same category. "The use of 'vending machines should stop too because the money goes outside the schools to the company involved. a divided among three players. Edgar Williams scored twice in the period, with singles going to; Steve Caslick and Kevin Hastie. Williams also had an assist on Hastie's goal to lead the Wingham comeback. Again the Ram goaltender was the standout of the period, robbing Royals shooters on numerous oc- casions. The third period opened withfast action around the Ram goal. Penalties again came into the picture when the .Royals took two costly ones. Mount Forest made no mistake and jumped into a 6- 4 lead by mid -period, and the ., Royals again had„to fight back. However only Bernie Haines found the ' mark, assisted by Caslick and Jim McGee. Even though the Royals playedwith the net empty in favor of an extra attacker for the last minute of the game, they were unable to even the score. It was a tough loss for the Wingham club, which out - skated, outhustled and out - shot the visitors. The game, was notable, . however, in being the first in which the Royals maintained pressure for all three periods. Williams used his devastating shot to net two goals for Wingham; he also did good work along the boards and showed strong skating. Powerplay goals totalled eight in the game, four scored by each side, and played a prominent role in the outcome. Penalties called in the third period led to the winning goal for Mount Forest. The Royals go on the road next weekend, playing in Harriston Friday and Lucknow on Sunday.
