Tim Carroll, secretary manager of the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Marketing Board in London, said Wednesday the board at the end of the year will make its first contribution to a research trust fund to be used for government or processor research projects. "We have a lot of disease and pest problems which cost us money, Right now we're concerned about such problems as root rot in peas and bacterial speck in tomatoes," he said. The fund will be ad- ministered by the govern- ment's Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario. But spending will be directed by a special grower committee which will decide on where or if money from the fund will be used, said Carroll.

I'm sorry Frosty and Crystal, Dear Vixen By LISA DeBOER, Grade 3 St. Patrick-Lucan This is just to say I'm sorry for pulling your tag down but I liked you falling down fast it was funny. I'm sorry. "There's nothing says this money has to be spent every year. The fund will be there and if it's decided not to use it in one year it can be left to grow," he said. The source of the fund is an assessment on farmers of one-tenth of one per cent on the value of the crop in any one year. This year the 'value of the crop is expected to run between $68 million and $70 million, so the first con- tribution to the fund will be $68,000 to $70,00Q. Carroll said the grower committee will corisult continually with the government research in- stitute and have the final say on where the vegetable growers' money is spent. "We've got to make sure the money we put in isn't to just make up shortfalls in the government's research budget. We want our fund to draw attention to process vegetables and as a result give it a higher priority," he said. The grower committee will also learn from the govern- ment researchers what government funds might be available for vegetable- related projects, said Carroll. It is conceivable some of the farmers' money could end up in processor research projects. "Some processors are already funding, through the universities, research into bacterial - - speck in tomatoes," he said. Following last week's annual convention in Lon- don, the board of directors re-elected president Harry Dougall of Exeter and vice- president Tony Csinos of Port Burwell. At a Directors' meeting following the annual meeting of Gay Lea Foods Co- operative Limited, held in Guelph, Russell McCut- cheon, RR 8 Owen Sound, was elected President. Mr. McCutcheon owns and operates a dairy farm ten miles from Owen Sound and has been active in co- operative and farm organizations for many years, He has been a delegate since 1968 and was first elected a director in 1972. Robert Turner of Owen Sound was elected first vice- president and John Camp- bell of Bayfield was elected second vice-president. Re- elected to the board of directors was John Stafford of Wroxeter. The remaining directors are: Walter Hamel, Elm- wood; Howard Wilson, Owen Sound; David Ireland, Teeswater; Edwin Miller, Exeter and Fred Meier, Brussels. At the annual meeting, immediate past President Walter Hamel, stated that 1979 had not been without its problems.

Jesus was Born By DARRAGH MEHAGAN Grade 7 Grand Bend Public School Jesus is a baby who sleeps on Mary's lap She's bringing joy to everyone while Jesus slowly naps. Above is the star of Bethlehem shining on this world And in the tiny manger there is Jesus, tightly curled.

In a couple of minutes we'll put it in a cup dramatically and had a very profound affect on earnings. Additionally, increased competition in consumer products and particularly yogourt, had not helped. The proposed re-allocation of plant supply quota milk from butter powder operators to cheddar cheese processors was discussed at some length, with Mr. Hamel stating Gay Lea Foods would oppose any re-allocation of plant supply quota away from butter powder processors. Hamel mentioned this was the co-operative's twenty- first year of operations commencing business on October 1, 1958. Members' equity over the past years has grown to over $7,000,000 and total assets are in excess of $20,000,000. T.E. Brady, chief executive officer, announced that sales had risen to $81,254,788 an increase of nearly 6 percent over 1978, however net earnings dropped to $315,488. Despite a difficult year, the financial position of the co-operative is still strong and members' equity had remained about the same as 1978 levels at 35 percent of total assets. Out of earnings the Board of Directors declared a dividend of 8 percent or $1.20 per common share, retur- ning about one quarter of a million dollars in cash to member shareholders.
