The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1964-03-26, Page 5Described by government officials as one of the most modern processing line for turnips is this
installation at Exeter Produce and Storage Limited which washes, dries and waxes turnips in a
continuous process. The line accomplishes in seven minutes what formerly required 12 to 18
hours to complete by the conventional rack drying method. Above, the turnips enter the washing
section at the beginning of the 120-foot line, by automatic dumper; are washed, inspected, and
dumped onto a revolving sponger which takes most of the excess moisture from them. A 45-foot
dryer removes the rest of the moisture before waxing. Below, it keeps three men hustling to bag
the output. The line cost around $65,000 to instal. DeSpite its speed, Manager Len yen says even
this line may become obsolete soon. "We're investigating some

that all 26,000 wheat producers
of Ontario would attend meet-
ings, an unusually high number
did turn out to the thirty-one
meetings held.
Results of the vote were as
f o 11 o w s: Total ballots cast:
1,161; 808 voted in favor and
353 voted against the proposal.
The proposal presented was as
follows;
"That the Ontario Wheat Pro-
ducers' Marketing Board de-
ductions for licence fees and
levy be increased from the pre-
sent 10p per bushel (11 licence
fee and 90 levy) to an amount
not to exceed ten percent of the
negotiated minimum price."
(At the present floor price
of $1.65, a total deduction of
16 1/2¢ per bushel would be pos-
sible.)
Mr. Coulter said that as a
result of the favorable vote, it
is presumed that the Ontario
Wheat Producers' Marketing
Board would implement the new
deduction system at the be-
ginning of the new crop year,
July 1st, 1964.
However, he said, this is a
decision to be made by the On-
tario Wheat Producers' Mar-
keting Board following proper
approval by government under
the federal agricultural pro-
ducts marketing act.

Seek special
consideration
The Ontario Federatipn of
Agriculture requested special
consideration for the h e al t h
needs of rural people in its sub-
mission to the cpmmitteeof en-
quiry on medical services.
In a brief, the OFA supported
the suggestions put forth by the
co-operative medical federa-
tion that While the objective in
government legislation should
be the provision of total health
care this should be achieved on
a contributory basis. It recom-
mended that the participant re-
tain his freedom in the choice of
a doctor . and in the choice of
insurance agencies or carriers.
The role of the government
should be restricted to provid-
ing assistance to those who are
financially unable to purchase
their own medical insurance
needs but this assistance should
be provided through exisiting
insurance agencies and co-op-
eratives.
The OFA suggested the final
plan for ,providing total health
care should aim at the least
possible infringement, on the
rights and liberties of profes-
sional and consumer groups. It
strongly recommended that
every precaution be taken to see
that no single insurance carrier
would be placed in a preferential
position or have any advantage
over its competitors.
The committee of enquiry was
urged to pay particular attention
to the co-ordination of all ser-
vices related to health-preven-
tative, curative, nutritional and
social — so that, as far as pos-
sible, the physical and mental
health of the people would be
protected and improved.

The results of a recent vote
by Ontario wheat producers on
a proposed licence fee and levy
increase found a clear majority
of ballots in favor of the new
proposal.
Roy Coulter, chairman of the
Ontario Wheat Producers' Mar-
keting Board, said that the bal-
lots show 69.59% of the total
votes cast approved the levy
increase.
He stated that the producers'
board is convinced beyond doubt
that the vote conducted at county
annual wheat meetings across
the province in February ob-
tained the necessary voice of
opinion by producers which
would enable their board to
implement a more sound finan-
cial system.
He also pointed out that as a
result of the wheat board's
credit crisis last fall, a great-
er operating capital is impera-
tive to the continued success
of the wheat producers' Or-
ganization.
Mr. Coulter said that all
wheat producers in the pro-
vince were kept well informed
of the credit crisis situation,
of the various proposals studied
by the Ontario Wheat Produc-
ers' Marketing Board, and fi-
nally of the vote itself.
This was accomplished
through direct newsletters to
all producers from the market-
ing board's office and through
widespread news media cover-
age. All producers received
notice of their respective an-
nual meeting which outlines the
issue to be voted upon at their
meeting and of the voting pro-
cedure.
The procedure of casting bal-
lots at county meetings, Mr.
Coulter said, was favored in
order that producers be afford-
ed the opportunity to openly dis-
cuss the issue in each county
prior to voting for or against.
Mr. Coillter explained that
while it could not be expected
