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

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.

Behind superlative goal-

6-5.
From the opening faceoff

tack and peppered the Earns
with shot after shot, but were
unable to beat the Mount

Rams who opened the
scoring late in the period.

period, and again outskated
and outchecked the visitors.

A Huron.. County Board of

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. The
