north that way his trucks would no longer have to turn left from their present headquarters on 47 west and drive through the smoke from teenagers roaring up and down the road than fve ever heard or seen from anderson vehicles was one of the comments of one writer he went on to say that so far as objections in the area about dust from the trucks were concerned r the latter were properly tarped and exitentrance to andersons new pr is paved so wheres the dust coming from another writer cited an incident where one of andersons drivers had parked his gravel truck along the narrow shoulder of the road on bloomington to help two ladies having car trouble it was the only vehicle of any kind to stop the writer said if as in the opinion of one writer anderson and his trucks are- being pushed

such carrier services in ontario and is licensed for the whole province its a specialized business in other ways as well each operation whether its across town or across country has to be planned and in some cases the planning takes a couple of weeks as permits are applied for from all municipalities involved or perhaps police escorts 5250 to toronto 1050 to north bay are arranged theres also the usual administrative details lining up return loads and the regular truck maintenance- the haulage vehicles incidentally cost an derson 200000 a year in license fees alone with gas iand v maintenance

farmers will take a beating in the marketplace facing reduced yields of corn and low grade wheat the result of a wet july and august according to local corn grower and wheat board agent john doner n doner who has about 1200 acres in grain corn feed corn and some wheat on leslie st south of the stouffville- gormley rd says the milling quality of most of the wheat is low because its sprouted very little of it can be used for flour he said it appears the weight of most of the corn will be considerably reduced as a result of the wet weather mr doners been growing corn for about 15 years in addition to his acreage he operates a drying and storage facility hes been on his present site for 9 years the doner homestead which is about 175 years old with two flow dryers and storage facilities for 130000 bushels of wheat hes able to purchasedry and store any grade of wheat for the ontario wheat board the wheat board acts as the far mers agent buying and selling it whether for iise as alcohol feed or flour mr doner will also custom dry corn buy it sell it on the free market and ship it much of it finds its way to trois- rivieres quebec or russia with his equipment he can store about 100 bushels of wheat in 30 seconds the operation will often handle eight or 10 tractortrailer trucks in an evening a whole truck can be unloaded in several minutes he wont say how much his entire operation is worth but its rumored the market value of his drying plant is 500000 he said not all corn farmers have a large enough operation to be able to afford their own drying facilities its not as easy as it used to be- to make a living at farming due to the rising labor and equipment costs he said a combine for example which once cost 4000 could be as expensive as 100000 now- a large acreage more easily justifies the cost of machinery he said corn farming has changed a good deal i since he first became involved in it 15 years ago especially agricultural methods when i started we used a corn picker now we use a combine he said he said most of the changes have taken place as the result of economics same as everything he said keep it clean stouffville the ministry of trans

the bloomington rd 404 interchange to a proposed fill section immediately south and north of vandorf sideroad however due to poor soil conditions in the area of the 404cnr crossing south of the

over the fourtosix month period vernon said the region had granted its permission but under the following conditions the contractor be responsible for keeping the pavement and shoulders of the roads
