The in- crease will very between eight and 16 percent. Most urban- dwellers will pay an increase of seven and one-half percent. "Farmers use one heck of a lot of hydro in this province. In 1972, we spent $14,236,000. Then, this past February rates went up about 10 per cent, Now, in less than a year, farmers are hit with a second increase. These two increases alone will add more than one and one-half million dollars to the cost of producing food, before the produce even leaves the farm. "Farmers don't have bot- tomless pockets.

There is a limit to the number of price increases that farmers can ab- sorb, and we have long passed that limit." Hill says the hydro increase will mean another round of price hikes at the supermarket. "Consumers too have their limit as to how much they will pay for food. When Ontario Hydro is subsidized by taxpayers, both consumers and farmers need and deserve a very thorough justification for this 20 percent increase inside of one year," Pinery area accidents Three accidents were in- vestigated this week by officers of the Pinery Park detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police.

Under the board's agency system, it makes an initial payment of $5.76 per bag at the time of delivery, an interim payment in April and the final payment when the entire crop is sold. While 1973 crop beans are currently, selling at over $40 a bag, growers have only received the $5.76 initial payment, They will get their interim payment in April but won't receive the final return until next fall.

Bruce Shaw suggested an hourly rate should be set to apply for all persons involved in in- struction in such avtivities as ballet and gymnastics. Willert reported 61 children were registered for ballet, 52 for gymnastics, 175 for figure skating and about 195 for minor hockey. , Total fees collected from registrations was $3,980. board is estimating the 1973 crop at 1.6 million bags, down about 225,000 bags from the previous year. Ontario's major competitor on the export market is Michigan where the crop is estimated at about 5 million bags. Jack Underwood of the figure skating club said that despite increased fees and numbers enrolled, the club expected a deficit of $1,000. In a report on ice rental at the arena, Willert said it would work out to about 80 more hours than last year, despite the fact several London organizations had not booked the local facility in view of the increased number of arenas available in London. The local arena manager noted that many area arenas were finding it difficult to overcome the loss of rental time to London organizations.
