4 people injured
Four people were injured as the
result of a two vehicle collision On
Highway 1, south of Concession
4-5 East Wawanosh on Saturday.
Injured as a result of the
u)Ilision were William J. St.
Marie and two passengers in his
vehicle -- Stephanie l..iRae of
winghanl and Edward .1. Whitby,
also of Wingham and a pedestrian
who was assisting at the scene
was also injured.
The accident occurred when
several people pushing a van out
of a Iancway when it was hit by a
n
)rt hbolt n(1 vehicle which
couldn't stop because of the
weather conditions. One of the
ixoplc Donald Eiscnhofcr• who
was helping push the van was
knocked over by the van and went
underneath it.
Stephanie L. Rae has been
discharged from the Wingham
Hospital, Donald I;isenhofer of
Wingham was transferred to a
London Hospital for further
examination, and William St.
Marie and Edward .1. Whitby are
7X)1I) in satisfactory condition at
University Hospital in London.
'Fhc van vas written off and the
damage to the other vehicle was
estimated at.thout $2500.

Even mother's milk is dangerous
Picture please a new mother
breastfeeding her baby --- a
Lision which conjures up words
such as lender, beautiful,
‘vholcsonlc and natural. This
vision was rudely shaken by a
program viewed on CTV Sunday
night.
The opening statement that
caught our attention was to the
effect tlfat mothers milk contains
cuntanlinants that are fatal to all
of us if allowed to build up in our
bodies. Starting with the once
umsidere(1 purest of foods, the
program included fruits meats,
,urd processed foods.
It would -appear our society is at
a tradeoff position and we should
consider the advantages and
disadvantages of perfect fruits
and vegetables and finely
marbled pleats.
Insects devour 13% dour food
before it is even harvested. From
the Farmers standpoint this can't
continue and therefore pesticides
and herbicides are employed to
afford us a greater harvest yield
in this land of plenty. Cattle and
other edible livestock are treated
\Lith antibodies and growth
agents to encourage greater
quantity and quality of nkat. The
chin result is that the chemicals
.uld materials used to achieve the
results we demand may be fat al to
our health in the long run.
The key point here is the
degree of concentration. If we as
a whole try to avoid products that
we know may be over proccsscd
we nlay stand a chance but will
the farmers who use the
chemicals to make possible the
products which we as the
consumer demand?
The whole situation deserves a
doscr look by us as well as by our
government agenices who have
the responsibility of policing the
use of chemicals.
The progranl,aired (luring
prime tine, informed the
audiences about farmers who had
grown good and healthy crops of
tomatoes without the intensive
chemical programs available only
u) find his crop was not
acceptable by certain unreason-
ably high standards for say
tomatoes for ketchup.
We are not all ignorant of the
problems of eating in this world of
fast and quick process foods. We
have all surely heard about the
contents of hotdogs, bacon,
maraschino cherries and other
lovely items with red dye. So not
tot) much really phases our easy
attitude about What to Cat or what
not to cat. But to have pointed out
that the first food that will meet
our children could be fatal, is
scarcy as well as hard to imagine.
Mothers milk is one of the pure
foods still available but under
thoughtful scrutiny it would be
only reasonable that the old
phrase you arc what you eat could
be applied here. If a y oung
mother cats contaminated foods it

point. Scientists still Ti(not know

what degree it can adapt.
If given the choice between
perfect but treated fruit and

fruit, let's use the common sense

Service abused
So many times we are quick to complain that there
should be some sort of service available for parents
who want to ask questions concerning their children.
The Huron County Health Unit offered such a
seminar on family education last week to Auburn
area residents. Letters were sent out to the new
mothers and parents of preschoolers in the area and
posters were placed in the post office.
Two public health nurses showed up at the
basement of the Auburn United Church to talk to a
crowd of zero. No one had come so of course there
were no questions about how parents might cope
with queries from their children concerning love and
family and human sexuality.
There is a basic problem of communication here.
To want some questions answered does not mean a
family needs help but that there is an awareness of
problems that can arise and that such problems
should be handled with open and honest answers.
The benefits of such a seminar can tray result from
concerned people talking with the nurses. Once they
are there the people are quick to pick up the pace and
realize that there are questions for which they need
answers.
It is too bad that more adults are not motivated to
take advantage of such services offered by the
Health Unit and which can contribute to a better
informed and happier family unit.
A responsibility
Television has been a fact of life for more than 25
years, but it is only recently that its potentially
harmful aspects have begun to be recognized. While
major studies of Television viewing indicate there
can be ill effects from watching too much,
indiscriminantly, the damage there may be to future
generations whose parents have been raised on
television serials, cartoons and violent shows is as
yet undetermined.
But instances of its harmful effects are already
surfacing.
Many of us remember the 15 year old Florida youth
who was charged with the murder of an elderly lady,
and who pleaded temporary insanity caused by
almost constant exposure to violent TV programs.
The plea was declared invalid, and he was found
guilty in the eyes of the law. But it is significant that
this was the first time television as a potential cause
of insanity came to the attention of the
public.
Another case which smacks of the influence of
television was one involving the robbery of an
Australian Bank. What was remarkable was not the
fact of the robbery but the age of the suspects. The
two males accused of the crime were only 11 years
old.
Though these are isolated incidents, they reflect
what many people increasingly suspect is a Targe and
growing problem.
The point to be taken from them is that television
must not be taken lightly. Used wisely, by
responsible parents capable of judging a programs
merits, it can be a valuable tool to knowledge. Used
imprudently, for escapism without thought or
judgment, it can be harmful, especially to children.
The responsibility to use it wisely rests with every
parent, and its a responsibility that must be
recognized and acted upon.
Snow laden
The joys of
country living
People I'm sure think l'm crazy for
wanting to live in the country. I get these
sirangc looks from people when I tell them
where I live, particularly in the winter time.
For so long people thought of living in the
anunty as a sort of punishment that must be
taken as part of being a farmer, along with low
prices and crop failures. People were
supposed to long for the day when they could
escape to the city, or at least to town.
A few years back the trend started to go the
otherw'ay. City people began to drive out in
the country and look at abandoned farm
louses and offer mond' to farmers to sell
them. The farmers would shake their heads in
disbelief, the city folk would think they were
bargaining for more money and the price
mad go up. The farmer would walk away
with more money for a ramshackle old house
he'd planned on tearing down and a couple of
acres than he'd have gotten from a whole
wears barley crop. He'd tell his neighbours
about the crazy city people and the neighbours
too would shake their heads as they saw the
local building supply company bring truckload
after truckload of supplies to the place.
Imagine, pouring good money after bad into
that old shack. These city people had more
money than brains.
And they probably did too. But they also
had aleeling of loss that drove therm back to
the country. They deeply needed the things
that farm people took for granted. things like
the sound of the wind in the trees and
beautiful sunsets.
I spent only three years in the city hut those
three years were enough( to make 01e rea11/c
what tremendous advantages I'd had growing
up in the country. Even living in a very pretty
village or small town couldn't give the same
kind of gut feeling you get in the country.

We had a blizzard on Friday and Saturday
had been one long, never-ending snowfall.
But Sunday the sun carne up over the hill and
the sky was a brilliant blue and the world
topside was a fairyland. All the snow that
seemed like such a pain in the neck the clay
To the editor
By Keith Roulston
lxfore, turned the white landscape into the
rarest picture in the world. It law undisturbed
for a mile in any direction. The pine trees were
weighted down by the millions of crystals that
reflected the light back in sparkles of light like
ars many tiny mirrors.
Outside the air w•as crisp and a strange
silence lay over everything. The foot -deep
srww• muffled everything. The \Ohne blanket
of snow was so natural, so untouched by
humans that you hated to take the first step
;nut break the spell. Nothing, no precious
jewel, no painting, no photograph can equal
the beauty ul' such a scene. The colour of the
leaves in fall, the mellow greeness of the new
grass and leaves in spring, the rhythm of the
swaying grain fields in summer are all
delights of country living, but even they can't
match such a morning. For there is in those
leautiful summer mornings the knowledge
that in a few minutes or at most hours, the
beauty will disintegrate, like the beauty of a
soap bubble floating through the air suddenly
c\aporates when it touches something sharp.
Perhaps you think I'm overly romantic
about the whole thing. Perhaps I ant but I
think 111 tyke you have to see t he snow turned
to black sludge on a (lowntow n Toronto street
lefore you really can appreciate the
immaculate whiteness of such a morning. I
think maybe you have to live with the constant
throb of city traffic, with noises seeping
through the \dulls from the next ap;utnunt`;u
.dl hours of the day and night before you can
appreciate the silence of such a morning. No
;umount of money can buy the feeling you gel
when you look on that kind of scene. That's
why so ntaomy pcoplc hank been so cavilling to
give up good paying john in the cities to give
ftp exciting careers to move to time country.
1>L•spite the excitement of the clay, despite the
11111, fun• fun you're supposed to have in the
Lily if you pay attention to the whole media
I>liv, there is something in many people that
mikes them need the kind of precious
nonments that only nature can provide.
Eaton's can't sell you the feeling you get when
\011 look out the window Sunday morning. It
can't be honied, It can't be imitated. It's there
fi• a few moments, and then it's gone and
you realize that all the "hardships" of country
living, all the week-long snow storms, all the
getting stuck, all the strange looks you get
from friends, all these things are worth it for
that otic rare moment.

The statements in the press and by other
sources, which charge that in the Wiarton

incorrect.
The Huntsville order docs not become

An appeal is presently before the courts.
If the people making these statements,
whatever their involvement will take time
to seek legal adivce, as did the O.M.H.A.,
they will find that the 0.M.H.A. is
conducting its business well within the
existing laws as it is legally and rightfully
entitled to do.
The.0.M.H.A. will continue to enforce
the rules, and discipline all transgressors

Teachers settle for 5.12
(Continued from Page 1)
bogged down in October and had
been turned over to a mediator,
had been completed by Monday
and that the teacher's vote to
accept the ratification would
settle the issue.
The negotiations broke down
due to differences arising from
basic pay rates for teachers and
the pupil -teacher ratio. The
settlement remove the pupil -
teacher ratio from contract talks
and turns it over to a committee
consisting of Mr. Cochrane, 3
teachers and 3 board members,
which will determine the ratio in
the future.
Mr. Cochrane said the pay
rates are established in seven
categories depending on the
teacher's qualifications and
experience. He said four of the
categories involve teachers with
degrees and the remainder
teachers with no decree.
The rate of . pay for vice -
principals is the same as teachers
except they receive an cxtra
allowance for holding the posi-
tion. Principals are paid at a
higher rate and are also defined
by category depending on quali-
fication and experience.
Mr. Cochrane said most of the
county principals arc in the top
two pay categories while the
majority of teachers arc in
category B, A2 and A3. The
contract is for 1 year and is
retroactive to the beginning of
September. Mr. Cochrane said
the settlement is within the
amount the board speculated on
when it struck the costs for
teacher's salaries in its. 1977-78
budget.
The county's secondary school
teachers are still negotiating their
contract with the board. 'Those
talks are also being handled by a
mediator,

Christmas cards
By Earl K. St. Jean
Auburn
People pay very little attention
to the Christmas cards they
receive though they represent the
total achievement of Christian
Art. We fail to realize that the
vast majority of people couldn't
read. During the Dark Ages that
could mean n inety percent. The
I3ihle had to be narrated,
illustrated in many ways; neurals,
statues, stained glass windows.
Architecture was put to work as
«ell so spires, bells, vaulted
ceilings added much to awe and
majesty. The Scriptures cams
alive in sound, colour, mood and
even incense.
('hristInas cards have very little
to do with illiteracy since they all
have a written message,
Christmas feasts the eyes, the
cars, the palate, and, of course
sweet scents often are wafte d to
our nose. 'I•hc fact is. We may have
the whole background of
Christian Art projected in
Christmas cards yet ‘'c bundle
thein up by New t'ear's Day and
discard theme sooner or later. The
art, the thoughtfulness, the
message and the abundance arc
so swiftly put aside for other
activity that art scenes to lose all
ability to communicate.
This tells us something of the
fact that our cnlelllIUnicatioll is
audio-visual aid speedy yet we
lone the fact that AR' is a mean's
%vIiole life expressed by stokes of
brush. The praying hands
txiin1ing catches the message of
subject and painter. A mean can
reveal his faith in his Art. In the
case of Christmas cards there are
three persons' attempt to reveal
their faith. 'I'hc art, the sender
and the recipient conic into
contact. Christmas cards are
reproduced mechanically and a
chord cannot get the absorbed
attention of a painting in an art
gallery but it should.
If art is flinnbsy it is because we
too attach so little to the human
clement of a card rather than to
the mechanical. Gather your
cards together and examine them
by grouping. Have the
Bethlehem scene together
followed by Church, Bible, Bells,
('anodes, Choirs and such, then
‘%intry scenes, family Christmas,
plants, animals or family
snapshots. One then secs a
general m essage and the specific
ones. One sees what art can do for
us and at each Christmas. The
cards say something to us, about
us and through us ours are saying
something important to our
chosen people.
Art is a very rare privilege and
not to be cheap. The blind will
miss all of the colour this
Christmas, the deaf all of the
sounds and all of the ill will settle
liar less than the joy of well-being.
It is something of a sin to let art
be common or commonplace.

Recycling agency is suggested
By Murray Gaunt MPP
Over the last ten days the
Resources Development Com-
mittee has been studying the
Ministry of the Environment
estimates. As critic for the Liberal
Party . 1 suggested that the
Government establish a
marketing agency for recycled
materials, and establish no new
landfill sites after 1981.
In my remarks I expressed
confidence that a marketing
agency to coordinate the supply of
reclaimed materials and to seek
customers is workable. Such an
agency could also promote and
accelerate the building of
reclamation and recycling plants,
and according to the Ministry's
own figures these plants would
save more than $11 million every
year for the ninety percent of
Ontario's garbage that would be
affected.
Ontario ntuncipalitics are not
taking up the Provincial
Government's offer to fund 50
percent of the capital costs of
solid waste recovery systems, and
private enterprise should be
encouraged to come into the field.
It is my belief that the
Province's aim to recycle ninety
percent of solid waste by 1989 is
achievable, but at the Ministry's
present rate of progress is
completely unrealistic.

Kerr said that Inco Ltd. in

Farmers should discard
"nice guy" image, Whelan says
Federal Minister of Ariculture
the Honourable Eugene Whelan
says the time has come for
Canadian Farmers to discard the
nice guy image and be the bad
guys when it comes to discussing
agricultural policy, the setting of
commodity prices and dealing in
the world market place.
•This brought a barrage of table
thumping, hand clapping, and
cheers from the 450 delegates
attending the 39 annual Ontario
Federation of Agriculture
,convention last week in Hamilton.
According to Whelan the
consumer is getting his money's
worth from his food dollar. FIC
said "Back in 1951 an average
hour's pay bought 1.2 pounds of
sirloin steak. In 1976 that same
hours pay bought three and a hall'
pounds." "A 1976 hour would
buy four times as many eggs, two
and a half times as much chicken,
and over twice as many pork
chops, twice as much milk,
potatoes, apples and
bread compared to 25 years ago."
Whelan said the treason
consumers still complain about
high priced food is "because most
people resent paying out for the
real necessities." Ile said luxury
minded society considers
vacations, fancy cars and
television se Is as the real
necessities, not food. Another•
reason for• this said Whelan, is
because in a credit oriented
society its hard to pay cold cash
for anything. "Food is a cash 00
the harrelhead proposition".
in his address at 'Tuesday
nights banquet Whelan said he
wets in support of marketing
boards. He said "Marketing
agencies are a good idea." "They
work". "'They're primarily
producer oriented, producer
organized." Marketing boards,
said Wheln, "know first hand
what ancl where the problems are
in the marketing system."
Concerning the Corn
Marketing Proposal that the
O.F.A. Grains Committee has
drawn up Wheln says "1t should
have more punch". He said
"Eventually that board, to be as
effective and as efficient as. it
could be has got to have the right
to buy and sell." "No two ways
about it."

bcuu•d with power to buy and sell
or with pricing is, not the
practical solution to current
difficulties. The committee's
reasoning on this is that 40 per
cent of Ontario grain is fed on
Ontario farms, without entering
commercial channels. With so
many kinds of buyers and so
many individual buyers and
seller's, the committee feels an
agency to handle all corn sales is
out of the question for the
foreseeable future. the O.F.A.
Grains Committee said in its
report, "An agency would be
constrained to set prices in direct
relation to the Chicago corn price
in any case."
Whelan criticized several parts
of this proposal. He concluded
"It's a start, the corn marketing
pnrposal makes a lot of sense. But
it doesn't go far cnout:h.

Despite its concern about the
number of people out of work in
the province, the Ontario
Government docs not plan any job
creation programs this winter,
Premier William Davis said this
week. Latest unemployment
figures show 253,000 people out
of work in the province.
Mr. Davids said in the
Legislature that he didn't think it
would be constructive for the
provincial government to create
winter projects at this time. Such
solutions were short term and in
order to solve the problem on a
more lasting basis, "It docs
require on the part of all
governments a degree of
intestinal fortitude that is not
always easy to demonstrate".
The 20th illegal strike since
may 1975, by members of the
same union at the Lummus Co. of
Canada Ltd. project at Douglas
Point., was just one 100 many for
the Ontario labour Relations
Board.
The Assessment Act
It set aside its normal practice
of not issuing a declaration of an
illegal strike if the strikers are
back at work at the time of a
hearing, and issued a cease and
desist order against unlawful
strikes for the term of the current
collective agreement.
During the estimate
considerations of the Resources
Development field, the
Honourable Rene Brunelle
revealed that the Royal
Commission on Electric Power
Planning, commonly known as
the Porter Commission,
established in 1975 to look into
the long term planning of
Ontario's electrical power
system, was originally slated to
report late this year or early next
year. However, interest in the
topic of nuclear power has been
extremely intense and this
interest has resulted in the
scheduling of thirty extra days of
hearings during the January to
March period in 1978 for nuclear
hearings alone. This will allow the
Conirnissioner to submit his
interim report containing his
views and conclusions on the
nuclear program by June 30th, in
time for this item to be considered
by the Select Cornniittee of the
Legislature which will begin its
review of the nuclear commitment
on July 1st, 1978.
NOTICE TO
PROPERTY OWNERS
AND
TENANTS
As a result of a delay in the passage of recent amendments to The
Assessment Act, the normal return of the assessment rolls in municipalities
and localities in Ontario will be delayed.
The Honourable Margaret Scrivener, Minister of Revenue, has therefore
extended to January 19, 1978, the date upon which the annual assessment
roll is returned in all municipalities and localities in Ontario, EXCEPT those
municipalities located in The Regional Municipality of Waterloo where the
day upon which the assessment roll is returned will be extended to March
16, 1978.
This extension affects the time period during which owners and tenants
may appeal their assessments. As a result, the final date for lodging a
complaint with the Assessment Review Court in respect of any assessment
contained in the assessment rolls is extended from January 19, 1978 to
February 9, 1978. In The Regional Municipality of Waterloo the date for
lodging a complaint has been extended to April 7, 1978.

AREA DELEGATES — A number of area farmers were delegates at the annual
OFA convention last week. Among those attending were, from L., Jan
Van Beers, Hullett, Maurice Bean, Hullett, Mery Smith, McKillop and Bill Pullen,
Morris Township.
OFA delegates urged
to 'Buy Canadian'
Buy Canadian! urged delegates
at the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture Convention held in
Hamilton Nov. 27 - 30. Delegates
were strongly in favour of having
Canadian agricultural products
marked as "produced in
Canada".
"Consumers should support
Canadian agricultural products,
said Doug Fortune, chairman of
the Huron County Federation
Consumer Liaison Committee.
"By doing so they are getting a
quality product • and helping
support industry and employment
in Canada. Consumers should
realize that buying food items
imported from other count itis
may not only put a Canadian
farmer out of business, but
truckers, food processors and
many city workers out of jobs
too".
"Consumers should be given
the opportunity of choosing
1 between Canadian produced food
products and those that are
imported", said Gordon Hill of
Varna.
Delegates pointed out that the
label "Canada No.l' does not
mean items carrying this label
were produced in Canada.
Ontario Agriculture Minister,
Bill Newman, told the convention
of a program called "Foodlands
Ontario" initiated by the Ontario
government to promote agricul-
tural products from this province.
Frank Drea, Minister of
Correctional Institutions has
already announced that Ontario
institutions will be serving only
fruit juices produced in this
province.

Superior soil found in Huron
A large number of Huron
County farmers learned recently
in Seaford' that their farming
conditions are much superior to
some other countries.
Those attending the annual
banquet of the Huron Soil and
Crop Improvement Association
heard about agricultural
conditions in Australia and New
Zealand from Dixie Cameron of
1 ucknmy.
N1rs, Cameron spent live
months —down under- early in
19" on an Ontario Junior
Farmer exchange program.
She said Most productive
acreage in the two countries was
irrigated. Their rainfall is short
from 10 to 12 inches to be
practicable for fanning.
Huth countries are livestock
oriented but prices received by
fanners for beef and Iamb is
Hutch Icss than in Canada.
The price for market Iambs is
about onc•yuar ter of what it is in
Canada. This makes the price of
wool worth about one-half of the
total sheep product.
In Canada, sale of wool actually
creates a loss. Associate Ag.
Rep. for Huron, Mike Miller said,
"After paying for clipping and
shiping, our farmers are behind
as far as the wool is concerned."
After \vctching and hearing
about ,agriculture in New Zealand
and Australia, Miller commented,
"'this mikes farming in Huron
County look pretty lush." '
Soils and crops specialists for
Huron and Perth Pat Lynch gave
a detailed report on a number ()I'
research projects held in the two
counties during 1977.
the bindweed control project
on the Ushorne township farm of
Alvis Lovell was not as successful
as first thought.
Lynch commented, "Three
treatments appeared to give good
control by September, 19711,
however, one year later it was
the tops the previous year and
most of the bindweed regrew."
On the subject of these tests,
Mike Miller said, "We report 00
what actually happens and not
what we would like to have
happen."
A number of Huron and Perth
farmers co-operated with the
University of Guelph in bean
insect and insecticide survey
obvious the chemicals only killed
under the direction of Dr. Cliff
Ellis.
The granular insecticides
tested by Dr. Ellis in 1976 were
effective for controlling bean
insects, but only for the first 3I
clays after application.
"Is it true
I'cl now have to work
longer to collect
Unemployment
Insurance.
Parliament has decided that the qualification
time should be longer everywhere, and that
people who live in areas of high unemployment
should be given certain advantages over those
who live in areas where jobs are more plentiful.
Which means that you now need more
insurable work weeks to qualify for
Unemployment Insurance benefits.
"I can see why. But just
how long would I have to work to
be eligible?"
From 10 to 14 weeks, depending on where
you live.
In regions of low unemployment, claimants
need up to 14 weeks of insurable employment to
get UI benefits. This will only happen in places
where it's easier to get and keep a job.
In regions of high unemployment, claimants
now need as little as 10 weeks to qualify.
"Does this mean
get less or that the payments
wouldn't last as long?"
No change in payment amounts. The UI
benefit rate stays at two-thirds of your average
weekly insurable earnings.
The maximum is $147, less tax.
The maximum time for which anyone may
receive benefits has changed slightly, however.
The old'maximum was 51 weeks. Now it's 50 weeks.
But since September 11, the total
number of weeks for which a claimant qualifies
has more closely reflected the unemployment rate
in his or her region.
Right now, we measure unemployment by
dividing Canada into 16 economic regions.

occur a month after planting and
granular insecticides are only

Later in 1978, we will fine-tune the program to

related to local labour market conditions.
"What else is changing
about UI?"
Not much.
The basic two week waiting period
remains the same everywhere. And so do
the rules on the waiting period when a
claimant has left his or her job for no good
reason or been fired for misconduct. In
such cases, a claimant niay have to wait up
to eight weeks from when employment
ends until benefits start.
Then there's maternity, sickness and
age 65 benefits.
Previously, sickness benefits were only
payable during the first 39 weeks of the claim.

benefit period.

Maternity benefits of 15 weeks and the

The same people still pay for the program in
the same proportions, and the types of employ-
ment insurable for UI remain the same, too.

Durand resigns, critizes board
A long time director on the
Ontario Bean Producers
Marketing Board, Phil Durand of
Zurich, did not qualify for re-
election at Friday's annual
meeting at Hensall and criticized
the present hoard for their actions
during the past year.
Mr. D,.rand commented, "the
board has done very little to
improve marketing conditions.
Many recommendations ‘vcre.not
implemented."
"All major policy decisions
were made to satisfy dealers. We
nerd strong directors to counter-
act the dealers," he continued.
"There should he more precise
information available from
dealers to the hoard. We don't
know what dealers have in their
elevators in volume and quality.
Some dealers are buying on their
own account."
"Producers have a challenge.
The government has given us
power under the Marketing
Board, but we must use it
properly. Our policies and
programs must not set up loop-
holes," concluded Mr. Durnd.
Mr. Durand was replaced as a
director for Huron by Varna
farmer, Glenn Hayter. Returned
were present directors Bob Allan,
Murray C rdiff and Joe Miller.
Bob Allan agreed there was
dissention on the hoard but
added, "every decision is compli-
cated."
Growers want answers
Responsibilty of OBMB debated
The responsibility of the
Ontario Bean Producers'
Marketing Board in fulfilling
obligations on bean sales
generated considerable
discussion at Friday's annual
meeting for H uron growers at the
P ineridge Chalet at Hensall.
Manager Charles Broadwell
said the board had made forward
sales of 815,300 hundred weight
of 1977 crop white beans by
August 31 and another sales
agreement for 38,000 hundred
weight were made with Ontario
bean dealers.
In turn bean dealers made sales
to brokers and processors on the
expected crop and are now unable
to fill the orders.
Due to the wet fall weather, the
bean harvest was badly curtailed.
Broadwell said only 819,0(X)
hundredweight had been
delivered by Ontario growers,
creating a shortage of 34,000
undredweight.
Broadwell said the board has
received legal opinion that they
are not "legally liable for
commitments to forward sales
made."
Frowcr Ed. Kramer
suggested the producers and the
board accept the moral liability
and supply the beans to "bail the
dealers out."
He said "If we fail to come
through in this crisis it will hurt
the bean industry for years.,,
Ed. Dearing of Perth county
agreed that the board had a moral
obligation.
Broadwell countered "we
could possibly be held respon-
sible if we had the beans, but, we
don't."
Crediton arca grower John
Grovers said the problem of
scarcity of beans was due to the
producer who "sold beans to
Michigan and others who are
holding beans in their barns."
In reply Broadwell said the
board had no idea how many
beans were still on the farm. He
added, "the amount could vary
from 20,000 to 200,000 bags."
In answer to several accusa-
tions abaout bean deliveries to
Michigan and a bonus possibly
being paid for top grade beans,
Broadwell replied "you tell us
who these people are and we will
prosecute."
Later in the meeting a motion
to have the shortage responsi-
bility accepted by the board was
soundly defeated.
Chairman of the meeting
Gordon Hill told the presss
Monday,,ne of the points brought
out in discussion
was the share of financial
responsibility which should fall on
the grower who was not able to
harvest his crop and was paid by
crop insurance.
In addition Hill said, "all four
Huron directors are in favour of a
grading system but one point not
brought up was the need for a
different pool for every grade."
Directors and manager
Broadwell were concerned with
the lack of suitable beans needed
for 1978 planting. Broadwell said
he thought only about one-half of
the cccssary iced is now
available, He added. "again it
depends on the amount ,f quality
of beans still on the farms."
Helmut Locwcde of the Ontario
Crop Insurance Commission said
more than 7 million dollars has
been paid to date for white bean
claims.
Helmut said about two thirds of
white bean farmers were covered
by insurance paying premiums of
seven million dollars. The same
amount is paid by the
government.
The insurance man said he
expected all claims would be
completed in the next three weeks
and should reach close to 10
million. He added "the amount of
claims tells us what kind of year
you had."
He said insurance premiums
could he up by about 25 per cent
for 1978 crops. The preshunt this
past year was in the range of
$5.50 per acre depending on the
price option.
Mr. Allan informed that before
agency Ontario prices wer $1 less
than Michigan and now they are
$ I more.
On the subject of grading,
director .Joe Miller said, "beans
should he properly identified
when taken by dealers who are
agents of the board."
Mr. Miller continued,
"Growers of No. 1 brans
shouldn't have to wait for their
money until lower grades are
sold. The board has lowers to
implement grading tomorrow."
The successful new director
Glenn Hayter said he supported
grading. He added, "we sell hogs
on index, a similar grading
system should be used for
beans."
Ilay township farmer Lloyd
Willert suggested beans should
be sold directly without dealers
and brokers.

Storm cripples
(Continued from Page 1)
that no roads were blocked but
while visibility was bad and the
snow plows had to be called off the
roads for awhile he said that they
didn't have any major problems.
13111 McArter, road
superintendent of Morris
Township said they had no real
problems there either. He said
that some of the plows, though,
were out from 4 o'clock in
the morning on Thursday until 3
o'clock in the morning on Friday.
Clarence Hanna, ' road
superintendent of East
Wawanosh Township, said that
road conditions there werent too
bad, except that they couldtttt get
through with a sander.
"We've been very fortunate,"
he said.
The only problem they had,
was with a school bus break
down. The bus was stuck on the
toad through the entire storm.
But it was on the shoulder of the
road so that the plows could get
around it.
Graham Campbell, weather
observer on duty at Sky Harbour
Airport, Goderich, reported that
17.5 centimetres of snow fell on
Thursday and up until Slturday
morning the arca received
on Thursday it was quite cold and
there wastit a lot of wind until the
steady snow started around noon
hour. After that snow increased in
intensity and resulted in a heavy
fall.
Friday, he said, was a very
blustery day with blowing snow
and it was very cold. Saturday
started out quite cold and the
snow really came down starting
about noon, and we had a really
heavy snowfall till about 3
o'clock.
The winds on Thursday came
from the southeast at about 15
miles per hour and stayed that
way up until about 4 o'clock when
the storm approached. As the
storm approached the winds
increased from 18 to 30 miles per
hour. The maximum temperature
on Thursday was minus four with
a minimum minus 10.
On Friday, the winds from the
southeast were quite strong
averaging 30 and gusting to 45
and at noon the winds were
coming at 33 miles per hour and
gusting to 45.
Later the winds switched
direction corning from the
northwest at a speed of about 18
miles per hour gusting up to
about 28 miles per hour and then
the wind slowly subsided. The
maximum temperature on Friday
was minus 1 with a minimum
minus 11.
On Saturday, the winds were
out of the northwest at a speed of
about 18 to 25 miles per hour but
they dropped off as the snow
started and became multi
directional.
The winds became Tight and
variable around noon and stayed
light and variblc for the rest of the
afternoon. The temperature
ranged from minus 6 to minus 13.
Mr. Campbell gave some
weather predictions for the rest of
this week. He said there will be a
few showers on Wednesday and
that it will be milder with a high
near plus 3. Thursday will be
cloudy and windy and colder with
a few flurries and a high near plus
1. Friday will be partly cloudy
with a high near zero.

Poinsettia
falsely
accused
Since 1919, stories 11nsuhstan-
tiated by medical and scientific
fact have circulated about the
Ixiinu'ttia at Christmas time,
when the plant is at the peak of its
Ix�pularity. According to one tale,
the two-year-old child of an Army
officer stationed in Hawaii died
front eating a poinsettia left
(bract).
Ibis unfortunate, unfounded
story helped scare people into
thinking that the poinsettia is
poisonous. It has led to the belief
that parts of the plant. if ingested
by humans or pets, could be
lethal.
To scientifically resolve the
charges against the poinsettia,
and to alleviate public fear
concerning its alleged toxicity,
the floral industry launched an
intensive investigation.
The Ohio State University
research on the poinsettia plant
has effectively debunked "old
wives' talcs" that the poinsettia
is harmful to human and animal
health if parts of the plant arc
ingested.
Board of Ed has
chairman candidates
'Tile Huron County 13oard of
lilucation considered what may
happen if no trustee wanted to
chair the hoard itself or board
committees in 1978 and
established 0 policy at its Monday
nlc:ting that would eliminate that
problem before it occurcd.
Director of education John
Cochrane told the board that
there is no board by-law outlining
the procedure to be followed if no
candidate stands for election in 0
new year to any of the board
offices.
Mr. Cochrane said the board
sennas to operate on the
assumption that al least one, and
hopefully several, trustees will
seek a chairmanship and that the '
situation would never occur. He
indicated that the possibility was
remote when the board had only
to elect a chairman and vice
chairman but that the possibility
becomes greater when six
positions are to be filled.
Board chairman Herb
Turkhcim suggested to the
board that any year that situation
arises the outgoing advisory
committee or executive
committee of the board be given
the power to appointtrustees to
chairmanships.
Seperate school trustee Eugene
Frayne reminded the board that
in a 11011 -election year that
situation would be fine but
pointed out that in an election
year there would be no guarantee
that members of the executive
committee would seek re election
or that they would be reelected by
voters.
"The executive committee
wouldn't be able to nuke
appointments until January and
there is a possibility of trustees
not returning to the board," said
Mr. Frayne.
Mr. 'Turkhcim said if the platter
was "referred" to the executive
committee it would alleviate the
situation of trustees not returning
to the board. He said that if
trustees failed to secure a scat on
the board the new executive
committee established at the
twill's inaugural meeting would
be given the responsibility to
appoint people to chairmanships
lino trustee new or returning,
volunteered for the position.
Colborne - Gocicrich township
trustee Shirley Hazlitt said it
would he a "Sorry day for the
Huron County Board of Education
when not enough people on the
board were interested enough in
education to serve as a committee
chairmui
Mr. Turkhcim reminded the
board that no one is saying that
there is not enough interest from
trustees to serve. Ile said what is
being pointed out is that if the
situation arises in any year the
board has no policy to handle it.
Later in the agenda board
members were given an
opportunity to announce
intentions to seek chairmanships
for the conning year. 1300rd policy
is such that at last meeting of the
year trustees arc given an
opportunity to dcicarc candidacy
fl' board offices for the coming
year.
The election of the officers
takes place at the board's
inaugural meeting in the next
year and before those elections
the trustees are given a second
opportunity to declare candidacy.
R.J. Elliott, of Blyth, indicated
he plans to seek the position of
board chairman. Alex Corrigan,
of Wingham, will seek the post of
vice chairman—lack Alexander, of
Wingham, and John Henderson,
of Scaforth, will seek
chairmanship of the fiscal and
property policy committee.
Colborne •- Goderich township
trustee Shirley Hazlitt plans to be
candidate for the instructional
staff and personcl policy
committee and no trustee
indicated a desire to chair the
student policy committee.
An opportunity will be made at
the inaugural meeting January 3,
1978 at• 2:00 p.nn. for trustees to
announce intentions to seek
office. The board's first business
meeting of the new year will be
January 9, 1978 at 1:00 p.m.
