Only a few finishing touches need to be made to fully complete the eleven apartment units located behind Craigholme Nursing Home on the Main Street in Ailsa Craig. The apartments each provide about 500 square feet of living space and include a bedroom, dining-living room, kitchenette, full bathroom and closet areas. Although similar to Ontario Housing senior citizen apart- ments in design, the Craigwiel Gardens apartments have been totally privately financed with a mortgage of $150,000 from Mennonite Foundation of Canada providing about 85 percent of •the funds. Rent' for an apartment is $150 per month which includes utilities, parking and a stove and fridge. Apartments are designed to be used by persons who are still capable of looking after their own needs. To date only three of the eleven apartments remain un- committed, Craigwiel Gardens, which is a non-profit corporation under the laws of Ontario is committed to serving the senior citizens of the community and area. To further meet this objective, a 2,400 square foot recreational centre is being planned for construction this fall and winter. It will include a workshop, craft shop, kitchen and small stove, The building will be open to retired persons from the com- munity as well as residents from the apartments and nursing home, INDUSTRY HELPS ARENA FUND — A donation of $5,000 to the EXeter Recreation Centre fund was made recently by Redpath Industries on behalf of Daymond Limited and employees at Huron Park.

After one year, the anti-inflation program is doing what it set out to do. The most important achievement has been the drop in the inflation rate. A year ago, consumer prices were rising at a rate of 10.6%. By August 1976, that rate of increase had dropped to 6.2%. This fall some unavoidable increases in energy costs and municipal taxes will affect the rate of inflation. In spite of this, the first year target of an inflation rate of no more than 8% will be met. Increases in all forms of income-wages, salaries, fees, profits, dividends-are also being successfully restrained. On the average, prices have gone up less than wages this year. This means that most Canadians can cope a bit better, we have more buying power than we had before the program began. 2. The goal of the second year of the anti- inflation program is to bring inflation down even further, to no more than 6%. This can be achieved only if increases in everything slow down together. In our kind of market economy, prices have to be able to move up and down to some extent. But the anti-inflation program does put an effective restraint on prices by controlling profit margins. In the second year, the price and profit controls are being changed to make the rules simpler and to apply restraint more fairly among different companies. They also include important incentives to encourage the investments the country needs to make the economy grow and create new jobs for Canadians. New investment credits will make allowances for company profits re-invested to boost production and productivity. • In the area of wages and salaries, the second year Guidelines limit increases to 6% as a protection against price increases,with 2% more added as a share of national productivity. I * Government Gouvernement of Canada du Canada This Guideline is designed, to protectand_ . improve the real income of working Canadians, while bringing down the rate of inflation: All governments are restraining their expenditures. The federal government is limiting growth in its own spending to keep it in line with the overall growth of the Canadian economy. This means that every day hard choices must be made to limit new programs and trim old ones. These choices are painful. But they have to be made if the government is to restrain its costs and avoid contributing to inflation. 3. Nobody likes controls. Not the people whose private decisions are affected by them. And not the governments that have to enforce them. But controls were and are needed, to bring inflation down and to assure a growing economy. The program will be terminated by the end of 1978. Until it is ended, the government is committed to making sure the controls work hard to bring about a continuing reduction in the rate of inflation. Inflation has to be cut down to protect our personal buying power, our saving's and pensions, and jobs for Canadians. If last year's spiral of rising prices and incomes had continued, Canadian-made products would soon be unable to compete in world markets. Imports could easily undercut goods produced and sold here at home. It's especially important for us to keep our prices and costs competitive with the United States, and on both counts the U.S. is still doing better than we are. Finally, inflation also hurts investment. And when investment goes down, unemployment goes up, After a year of controls, inflation has come down. Progress has been made, in protecting Canadian jobs and improving Canada's well- being. The success of the anti-inflation program so far has depended a great deal on the co- operation of many Canadians, With continued co-operation, we can all look forward to sharing a more prosperous and growing economy.
