anent under whose jurisdiction
the bean board operates, and
another grower would criticize
the federal government for not
arranging a suitable export
market for the bean industry.
A grower from Perth used a
great deal of foul language in
expressing his feelings towards
Ontario Agriculture Minister
William Stewart.
A former committeeman, Har-
vey Taylor, told the group of
about 100 that it was going to
cost the farmers money to get
back into the export market.
"We have lost a great deal of
our market to the United
States, and we must compete
with them price -wise," Mr. Tay-
lor added,
Another committeeman, Alex
McBeath, said he felt probably
that Ontario beans had been
priced too high to the United
Kingdom. "Without this for-
eign market, the bean picture
here would not look nearly as
rosy as we think it is," Mr.
IVIcBeath added.
Mr. Rau told the gathering
that when he was in. England
last fall an a trade mission, he
found out that the English peo-
ple have a soft spot in their
hearts for Canada, but, he add-
ed, "they are a shrewd bunch
of business people, and are
looking for the lowest price
they can find. They will prob-
ably choose our beans ahead of
U.S. beans, but the prices must
be the same.

Grand 1 end Taxes
Will a Higher
On Monday, June 6, council
of the village of Grand Bend
will face "budget night" and
try to find ways of whittling
the tax rate in any way they
can which will not deprive the
community of needed services,
Increased costs of education
appear certain to raise the rate
by 14 mills on the dollar, how-
ever, and County of Lambton
is increasing its demands to the
tune of four mills.
"We have no control over
this part of the levy," comment-
ed Reeve 0. Wessman, as he
urged councillors to come to
the next meeting with their
pencils sharpened.
Eighteen m ills increase
will mean a rise from 58 to 76
mills, or a little less than 25
per cent increase in taxes this
year.
Of course the large differ-
ence will be noticed especially
because of no charge at all for
public school taxes in 1965.
Taxpayers will remember that
situation last June, when 6.5
mills were taken from the tax
rate.
Council agreed to accept the
gift of a children's slide on the
beach placed there for the pub-
lic's use by the C h a m b e r of
Commerce. In this way insur-
ance under the village's liabil-
ity policy covers the slide.
Second notice from the Town-
ship of Bosanquet that the vil-
lage dump must be closed, due
to a fire hazard, was received
by Grand Bend council. Coun-
cillors agreed to continue oper-
ating it as has been done for
the past 25 years, serving vil-
lage residents and people living

Exeter Council Opposes High
School Addition at Present
The council of the town of
Exeter have blocked plans of
the South Huron District High
School board to build a two -
million dollar addition to the
present building located in
their municipality. The reason
given by the Exeter council is
the uncertainty of whether or
at the north end of Bosanquet
Township, as well as some folk
in Hay and Stephen.
As an alternative when the
dump is closed, Bosanquet has
offered the village use •af the
township dump near Thedford,
in return for one-third the cost
of maintenance.

not the Canadian Forces Base
at Centralia will be closed.
If the base is closed, there
would be well over 100 less
students from there alone at-
tending the high school, as well
as children from a number of
families they feel would move
away from the area to seek
employment elsewhere. The
story has been circulating that
a number of families who are
at present earning their living
at the 'Centralia base will move
to the St. Thomas -London, area,
to obtain employment at the
new Ford plant at Talbotville.
The Ontario Municipal Board
has already agreed to a request
from the Exeter council can-
celling its appoval of the pro-
ject. They feel if the station
closes a much smaller addition
would serve the purpose.
No other area ,councils have
met since the announcement
last week that Exeter was with-
drawing their support from the
plan, but no doubt as soon as
they do they will fall in line
with the Exeter decision. Ken-
neth Johns, chairman of the
board, has made the statement
Ikk gm 174
set 42e
that the other participating
municipalities could go ahead
and build the addition without
Exeter's support, but it is quite
doubtful that any of the other
councils would feel different
than Exeter does on the matter.
In the meantime, however,
the board remains persistent in
their attempts to proceed with
the addition. At a special meet-
ing last Tuesday night they de-
cided to proceed with the ad-
dition, and write to the Ontario
Municipal Board and ask for
clarification of their ruling
which cancelled the application
for debentures.
At the present time the board
is requesting final approval of
their plans from the Depart-
ment of Education in Toronto,
and when this is given the ap-
plication will be forwarded to
Ottawa for their approval,
At their special meeting 'last
Tuesday night the board also
decided against calling a meet-
ing with all area councils to
explain their position and the
reason they are proceeding with
addition despite Exeter's re-
fusal
