@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, April 21, 1966 BIG SPLASH IN THE POOL ' Michael Fenwick, left, and Mark Barasie receive check for 312,471 pounds ($874,918) from singer Janie Marden at London's Grosvenor House hotel today -- their reward for hitting the Littlewoods soccer pool on a $12 investment. Fenwick, 26, a former pop singer, and Barisic, 28, Yugoslav-born but now a citizen of Aus- tralia, are roommates who met in January and worked out a "system" which they've been playing for a month. --AP Wirephoto by cable from London Single - Serving Packets Studied TORONTO (CP) -- Back- room marketing experts, al- ways looking for fresh ways to win consumers' dollars, are paying renewed attention to single - serving grocery pack- aetithough the small packages account for a minor part of the $4,500,000,000 - a - year grocery business, marketing officials say it is growing rapidly. Because of the competition among distributors, some are hoping it may give their prod- ucts a firm share of a market in which they might not other- wise survive. Products available now in packages wrapped for individ- wal servings range from pre- cooked TV dinners to shrimp cocktails, prepared: fresh vege- tables and small loeaves of bread. One independent marketing firm says individual servings are being bought more and more by housewives anxious to lease one palate in the house. TIMATED AT $50,000,000 It estimates the total Cana- dian market for these goods at more than $50,000,000 annually. A grocery chain official at- tributes the success of individ- wal packages to convenience, better quality and improved presentation. Rhodesia Press Stand Commended TORONTO (CP)--The Cana- dian section of the Common- wealth Press Union Wednesday passed a resolution commending the daily prese of Rhodesia for opposing that country's govern- ment and its press restrictions. The organization, at its an- nual meeting, also re-elected Ross Munro, publisher of The Canadian, Toronto, as chairman. Other officers elected were I. Norman Smith, Ottawa Journal, honorary chairman; W. J. Blackburn, London Free Press, vice-chairman; W. A. Craick, honorary secretary - treasurer; R. A. Graybiel, honorary audi- tor. Elected to the executive com- mittee representing the daily ress: Hon. Oscar Gilbert, Que- c Le Soleil; R. S. Malone, Winnipeg Free Press; K. R. Thomson, Thomson Newspapers Ltd.; representing the weekly press: H. E. McCormick, The Monitor, Montreal; represent- fing the periodical press: Floyd §. Chalmers, Maclean - Hunter Publishing Co. Ltd., Toronto. The following were elected to Tepresent the Canadian section on the council, London: J. S. Atkinson, Toronto Star; St. Clair Balfour, Southam Press Limited; Floyd S. Chalmers, Maclean-Hunter Publishing Co. Ltd.; James L. Cooper, Toronto Globe and Mail; J. D. MacFar- lane, Toronto Telegram; John C. McConnell, Montreal Star; Gillis Purcell, Canadian Press, Toronto; J. W. Stebenne, Mont- real La Presse; K. R. Thom- son, Thomson Newspapers Ltd. Text of the CPU resolution: That the Canadian section of the Commonwealth Press Union commend the daily press of Rhodesia for its gallant effort in opposing to the limit of its resources and ability the im- position of illegal government upon the peoples of Rhodesia, and its continuing battle against censorship and other restric- tions aimed at preventing the free flow. of news and opinions within Rhodesia. "Many of the packages just have to be popped in the oven for a few minutes and even come with their own dishes. 'And a lot of customers seem to think they save money, too. No one pretends it's cheaper to buy a TV dinner, for example, than it would be to get an equiv- alent serving off a large roast, but people living alone aren't faced with the waste they'd experience if they bought a roast when all they wanted was one meal of beef." Another factor is the growing number of married women in the labor force. They find it easier to fix meals using indi- vidual packages than to start a Higher Tolls Asked St. Lawrence Seaway By BEN WARD OTTAWA (CP) -- Increased tolls on the St. Lawrence Sea- way and a new lockage charge at the Welland Cana! were pro- posed Monday in joint an- nouncements by the Canadian and United States seaway agen- cies. The plan, to be debated at public hearings starting here next month, calls for a 10-per- cent toll increase on bulk cargo which makes up almost 90 per cent of seaway traffic. It would jump the rate to 44 cents a ton from 40, applicable to such key items as iron ore, grain, coal and other commodities. Tolls for general cargo, mainly packaged manufactured goods, would rise to $1 a ton from 90 cents. For the ships themselves the charge would go to 4% cents per gross registered ton in place of the present four- cent rate, a boost of 12% per cent. Biggest surprise, however, was the proposal for a lockage charge at the Welland Canal starting at $20 a lock and in- creasing by $20 a year to reach $100 a lock in 1971. The eight- lock canal, linking Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, now is a free waterway. If approved by the Canadian and U.S. governments following the public hearings, all charges would take effect in the 1967 shipping season and remain for five years. PLANS HEARINGS The St. Lawrence Seaway Au- thority, which operates the Ca- nadian side of the system, will open its hearings in Ottawa May 25. Its American counterpart, the St. Lawrence Seaway De- velopment Corp., plans to start ----e at Chicago June 1. ipping interests have al- ready indicated that. they will fight strenuously against any in- crease in tolls. Main Canadian criticism is expected to be against the pro- posal for charges on the Well- and Canal, from which tolls were removed in 1962. A revision of seaway tolls had been due this year under the Canada - U.S. agreement by which the seaway project was undertaken. The revision or- iginally was to have been made by July 1, 1964, but was post- poned for two years to allow further studies. The seaway cost $475,000,000 and under the construction agreement was to pay for itself out of toll revenue over 50 years. Present tolls have been in ef- fect since the seaway opened in 1959. They were set on the basis of traffic forecasts which did not materialize, plunging the waterway into debt in each of its first seven years of oper- ation. Monday's announcement said the new tolls, which apply to the seaway section between Montreal and Lake Ontario, were studied by the two agen- cies with the help of independ- ent consultants. "These studies have taken into account traffic forecasts and the obligation of the (agen- cies) to relate the tolls pro- posals as realistically as pos- sible to the financial require- ments,"' it said. "The studies indicate that seaway traffic should not be sensitive to mod- erate changes in seaway tolls. "Anticipated traffic develop- ment and the moderate toll in- creases proposed by the Sener entities should enable them to} their meet financial tions." Referring to the new Welland charges, the statement said they will eventually cover the costs of operation and maintenance at the canal, which 1s an entirely Canadian venture. A $180,000,- 000 modernization program is now under way to improve it. obliga- | = TOU hot supper from scratch after getting home, marketing offi- cials say.
