Bean Marketing Board Presents Plan
Of Proposed Agency System to Dealer
A draft of preliminary plans
drawn up by the Ontario Bean
Producers' Marketing Board
has been presented to the On-
tario Bean Dealers' Association
suggesting an agency -type sys-
tem to control the movement
and sales •of all white beans.
The board now operates un-
der a negotiating type market-
ing plan whereby it negotiates
minimum prices each year with
the .trade end markets any sur-
plus beans offered to it by
dealers. It operates in a man-
ner similar to the wheat and
soybean boards.
The new system would he
like the hog and tobacco board
marketing systems,
"When our present plan was
established it was probably ade-
quate because approximately 10
per cent of our_production was
surplus to the domestic mar-
ket", the draft document says.
"However, our increase in
production has surpassed the
increased consumption by a
sizable amount and we find
ourselves in a position where
50 to 60 per cent of the crop
is surplus to •domestic markets.

It is with the movement of this
surplus to markets at the op-
portune time and the mainten-
ance of the domestic market in
mind, that we have looked to-
ward :agency marketing."
The board has set three ob-
jectives:
• A more orderly marketing
of beans which will make for
efficient use of facilities, main-
tain the present export market,
and expand export markets as
production expands;
it Increase returns to pro-
ducers;
• Retain and improve the
quality of beans.
"To bring about the objec-
tives of our plan we feel that
agency marketing is necessary
with the hoard controlling the
movement and marketing of all
beans with all sales being made
by the board," the draft docu-
ment says.
The board would enter into
agreement with elevators to re-
ceive, clean, process and bag
beans. A price based on grade
would be set for beans bagged•
and ready to ship to the ele-
vator.
Producers would be paid a
minimum .price on delivery to
the elevator which would be
considered an initial payment.
After the crop was sold, profits
would be pooled and paid to
producers.
Beans received by elevators
on •a standard form which
would be reported to the board
would include such information
as weight, pick and price.
Provisions in the draft plan
also call for storage fees to be
paid to 'elevators and producers.
Dealer spokesmen Are expect-
ed to •come up with a few ideas
on the scheme when they meet
the board again this week.

UNIFICATION: PART TWO
Remember where we left off?
Twenty years frons now. A
weak central government, with
everybody from the housewife
to the U.S. government down
on us.
A tough, ruthless Uniform,
popularly known as the Cana-
dian Cobras, 100,000 strong.
And jut -jawed Joe Garibaldi
former union leader, 'as defence
minister.
The Honorable Joe vaulted
into the House of Commons in
a rather unusual fashion. One
of his opponents withdrew from
the c a m p a i g n, on health
grounds, and set out for a
world tour. The other was run
down by a truck, just after
addressing a meeting in which
he had attacked the Honorable
Joe. Both incidents occurred
three days before the election.
Joe won.
He moved into Ottawa with
several beetle-browed cohorts.
A modest flat? Not on your
life. He took over an entire
floor of the Chateau Laurier.
There he lived quietly, with
nothing to distinguish him from
the average MP except the con-
stant flow of champagne, call
girls, and guests.
He was lavish with the press,
and they liked it. He was al-
ways good for a story, because
he had guts, color, and good
whisky, an unusual combination
in a member of the House.
But the majority of his guests
were sleek -headed men who
grow fat and sleep o'night. In-
dustrialists with a new gim-
mick, armament -makers with a
new toy, politicians with a new
angle, and all the other flies
who gather around honey .
The Honorable Joe was the
natural choice for defence min-
ister. Slack -jawed Lester Gor-
don, Prime Minister, last of
Canada's Rhodes scholars, felt
in a vague sort of way that the
cabinet needed new blood.
Within two years he had
quadrupled the defence depart-
ment's slice of the national pie.
That made it 85 per cent of the
taxes, but nobody kicked, be-
cause, even though there hadn't
been a new post office, bridge
or breakwater built in several
years, everybody was proud of
the Cobras, the world's finest
fighting force.
And only a few old-fashioned
members of the press thought
it odd that the Cobras paid ten
per cent of their salaries, vol-
untarily, into the 01(1 Soldiers'
Benevolent Fund. 'Chairman of
the fund, Joseph J. Garibaldi.
By 1987, of course, there were
preciotis few old soldiers left,
but they were well treated by
the fund. Two glasses of beer
a day, free smokes, roll -your -
own, and a sexy movie every
Saturday night, whether you
wanted it or not.
Joe played it cool. He in-
vited a couple of waiters from
the Nanking restaurant up for
a week -end bash. Everybody
thought he was -flirting with
the Chinese.
The U.S. State Department
called an emergency session.
The CIA infiltrated Ottawa, in
the guise of civil servants. Of
course, nobody recognized them.
Each thought they were other
civil servants spying on him.
Next thing he did was throw
up a string of fortresses at
Vancouver, Windsor, Brockville
and St. Andrews-by-th-Sea. He
justified the expense by point-
ing out, at a secret meeting of
the caucus, that the forts were
made of paper, thus giving a
boost to our pulp and paper in-
dustry. But the results were
drastic.
The Americans pulled eight
divisions out of Germany and
sprinkled them along the 49th
parallel, about eight men to the
mile. They sent an aircraft
carrier up the St. Lawrence
Seaway. It got stuck sideways,
but the residents of Prescott,
Ontario, lost their cool for a
few days, with those 19-inchers
trained on them.
The entire U.S. Air Force
was yanked out of South Af-
rica, from which they had been
napalming the Congolese. The
pilots were delighted to be back
in_ spots _like Oswego, N.Y.,

VARNA NEWS
The annual meeting of the
Varna Red Cross Society will
be held in the Orange Hall on
Monday, April 17, at 8 o'clock.
There has been little interest
taken in this society for the
past several years, so if this
community wishes it to con-
tinue, come out to this meeting.
Large congregations at Varna
and Goshen United churches
were present last Sunday morn-
ing when the Kairos Group of
London Conference had full
charge of the services This
group has been holding services
throughout the London Confer-
ence during the past year. Bob
Herrington, of St. Thomas led
the service, Miss Mary Hen-
derson, of Windsor, was the
organist and Miss Loreen Doug-
las, Stratford, was song leader.
The dramatized sermon, "How
Many Roads", was led by Ken
Scott, of Blyth, and with all
members taking part was very
impressive. It was appreciated
where a beer was 35 cents in-
stead of a buck, and besides,
they wanted a whack at those
Canadian _Cobras, who were
getting more space in Life
magazine than they were.
Alas, once again we have run
aut of space, and you must wait
until next week's issue to learn
how Canada was taken over by
a dictator in the only bloodless
revolution in history. Well,
practically bloodless.

gation. The president, Miss
Karen Quance, of Woodstock,
thanked the congregation for
the invitation to come to Varna
and Goshen. After the service
the ladies of Goshen and Varna
served dinner to about 30 niem-
bers of the group.
The sacrament of the Lord's
Supper will be administered
next Sunday morning in the
United Church—also a baptis-
mal service.

cessful auction sale last week.
