'The Ontario Bean Growers Market- ing Board is seeking approval to boost the present six cent per 100 pound license fee to 10 cents. The board pro- poses the construction of a $400,000 storage plant in South Huron, to be operated-by'its wholly owned subsid- iary, Ontario Bean Growers Ltd., and to 'finance the project by a loan from its export stabilization fund. The fund . is created by a Tic -per hundredweight levy charged against growers. In turn, , the stabil za:ti iii• fund will be reimburs- ed thro igh the increased license fee over an eight to ten year period.

The logic of this • seems sim- ple, but it has eluded Federal and Provincial Governments for tea many years.

The -federal government will put $100 million into university grants, an increase of $60 mil- lion over last year. Another $40 million in Federal money will provide 40,000 university scholarships and bursaries over the next "flour years.
