night protesting the erection of a building and asking for an
increase of police patrols. Mrs. M. G. Bell of Maria Street in
Clinton was spokeswoman for a group protesting the moving
of a former railway car to the Gulf Service Station lot on
Victoria Street South. She said it is lowering the value of
houses in the vicinity and was creating a slum. Bill German
and Neil Haugh were also present and wondered if the police
couldn't step-up patrols around their businesses in town.
Both have had several break-ins recently. It was also learned

be held on June 26, 1974. - - - Clinton Council Monday night

the Co-Op, Bert Klopp. Assisting in the ribbon-cutting are
Gordon De Jong, a director, Delbert Geiger, President, Julian
Smith, General Manager of United Co-Operatives of Ontario

Ontario white beans this year, predicts Philip Durand, of
Zurich, chairman of the Ontario White Bean Producers'
Marketing Board. Mr. Durand, Mr. John Hazlett, Goderich
and Mr. Joseph Miller, R.R.1, Dashwood, last month
completed a visit to a six-country European tour to assess
future demand for Ontario white beans. Mr. Durand was
optimistic about the industry's future. Ontario beans have an
advantage because the research department has kept the
industry ahead of competitors in production techniques. The
result is that Ontario White Bean y ields are at least 20 per
,:ent higher than Michigan. But Mr. Durand said escalating
production costs could be a problem in the future, if Ontario
producers are to continue to meet competition. • - - Bayfield
village council is proceeding with the controversial
expropriation of about 2.3 acres of property, commonly called
the river flats, on the north side of the Bayfield River.

that the police are not announcing compulsory licencing, just
letting people know the matter is being considered. - -

complex did not have to be formulated before fund raising

Ontario's pear industry is
losing acreage and a major share
of the market. One reason
growers are reluctant to invest in
pears is a bacterial disease called,
fireblight which can destroy as
much as 40 per cent of a pear tree
in a single season.
Pear trees take about seven
years to come into commercial
production, but fireblight can
destroy the trees before they
make returns for the grower.
Work is underway at Agri-
culture Canada's Harrow, Ont.,
Research Station to breed' a
variety of pear resistant to the
disease.
