Media day at Stewart seeds
In welcoming guests to the
annual media day at Stewart
Seeds, Friday, general manager
Byron Beeler talked about food
production.
He continued "So much has
been said about the world food
crisis — indeed, much has been
said indicating that current food
shortages are only temporary.
How does the consumer decide
who should be believed? How
does the food producer plan his
programs to maximize his in -

In the past council has usually
informed people if an area
must be cleaned up and if they
do not do it the town author-
izes it done and sends the proper-
ty owners fhe bill. Mr. Haberer
did add, "We are happy to
see the business association has
enough civic pride to bring these
things to the attention of coun-
cil."
Mr. Heimrich of the business
association also asked council
if there was any way of supplying
more garbage cans around the
village and having them emptied
regularly. Clerk Betty Oke said
the one garbage can on Goshen
Street will be emptied daily from
now on. A suggestion from Mr.
Heimrich that perhaps the gar-
bage cans from the bean festival
could be used year round did not
meet with much enthusiasm from
council. Councillor Ray McKin-
non reminded Mr. Heimrich that
the cans are the responsibility
of the Bean Festival committee
and council has no authority over
them. A suggestion was made
that perhaps the'business associ-
ation should approach some of
the service clubs in town to see
if any of them would be willing
to donate garbage cans.
Permission was given to the
Bean Festival committee to close
off the usual streets for the Festi-
val August 28. Council '4also
turned the Trust Fund they had
been holding, back to the Bean

It was decided Reeve Haberer
would attend the Association
of Municipalities of Ontario's
annual conference in Toronto
August 8th to 11th, 1976.
A resolution from the town of
Trenton for support regarding
the increase in crime and van-
dalism in Ontario and the need to
impose more severe penalties
for offenders was endorsed.
The report on the proposed
John Street drain was received
and a public meeting will be
called with those concerned to
either accept or reject the pro-
posed drain plan.
vestment in farming? Boom
years have a short cycle in
Agriculture and they soon turn to
less rosy conditions.
A year ago, at this same event,
our assessment of the
Agricultural situation was that
food producers should slow up in
their expansion plans and in the
capital purchases as we believed
the boom was over. In the main,
that assessment has been ac-
curate — but given all the
variables involved in assessing
the world food situation, our odds
of being correct were probably no
better than 50 percent.
Planning research programs in
the midst of so much conflicting
information becomes more
challenging — because our
research has to pay off in sales.
In a business like Stewart Seeds,
the marketing -sales arm of the
company must call the shots on
research — not the reverse!
Regardless of how good a product
, may be, if it doesn't sell, it is of no
value to anyone.
A major strength of our
research programs here is that
our entire research team is
closely associated with the sales
force — indeed, the research
team works on the sales
programs from time to time. 0.ur
research people are keenly
aware of the market place.
Highlights of the research
programs appear elsewhere in
this booklet.
On the marketing side, our
sales of hybrid corn continue to
increase in Canada and in export
markets. The cereal grain
programs expanded
dramatically this year. The
`Laurier Barley Story' is
amazing in its own right.
As was said before, planning
research programs in the midst
of conflicting information is most
challenging. As you tour our
programs, you'll see how we are
directing our efforts.
Do a little probing behind the
initial research program and you
may well find that it represents
only the `veneer' of a program
that has world wide implications.
The opportunity is yours — this is
your day at Stewart's — use it as
you will!"

Cost of 4 -way
flasher questioned
While attending Monday
night's Grand Bend council
meeting regarding a proposed
marina, Don Southcott posed a
question concerning the cost of
the recently installed four-way
flasher in the village.
When the flasher was first
proposed at the intersection -of
Highway 21 and Lake Road,
Southcott Pines agreed to share
in the cost.
At that time the Ministr.y of
Transportation and Com-
munication estimated the cost at
$750. and Southcott Pines agreed
to pay half of the balance after
subsidy which would amount to
$187.50.
The actual cost for the flasher
billed to Grand Bend by the
province was $1,443.34 and since
subsidy was denied Southcott
Pines was billed for $721.67.
In asking for an explanation,
Southcott said "There seems to
be quite a discrepancy in the two
figures."
In explaining the situation,
Reeve Bob Sharen said, "our first
bill was for $750. When we
questioned it, the price went up to
the present figure in excess of
$1,400. I guess we should have
paid it the first time."
When told that subsidies were
not forthcoming, Southcott
commented, "If you are stuck
with that figure, we should
reconsider."
Sewer rates up
From page 1
Reeve Haberer agreed adding,
"There is too much fluctuation
in the day to day readings."
Council feels there .is something
wrong with the system installed
by the ministry and will attempt
to get some satisfactory answers
from the ministry.
Meanwhile, the increase is
needed to pay for the. deficit
situation the village now has.
Councillor Leroy Thiel dis-
agreed with the increase in sewer
rates accusing council of taking
the "easy way out". He sug-
gested the village simply stop
paying the ministries bills until
they sent someone out to look
into the problems the village is
having. However, the rest of
council felt that while someone
from the ministry must indeed
look into this situation, the
deficit situation must not be al-
lowed to get any worse and
regardless what the ministry
eventually did, this deficit must
be paid somehow. A rise in sewer
rates seems the only answer.
Fresh, unpeeled peaches supply 40 percent fewer calories
than apples, almost twice as much vitamin C, and a far
greater amount of vitamin A.
