The Canadian economy
is likely,to grow this year
at abort the same rate as
in 1978; but a slowdown
could occur towards the
end of the year, ac-
cording to Canadian
Imperial Bank of Com-
merce.
ro
In their most recent
short-term economic
forecast, published
March 22 in a Canadian
Business Conditions
Report, Commerce
economists say the
relative contribution to
growth of Canada's
th for the first half year
domestic and external
sectors will likely shift in
1979.
"In 1978, growth in the
constant -dollar volume of
exports contributed
substantially to the in-
crease in GNP growth,
with healthy increases in
both the merchandise and
non -merchandise sub-
components. Through
1979, it is expected that
business fixed in-
vestment will make a
greater contribution and
that, on balance,
relatively more of the
growth impetus will come
from domestic sources,"
the Commerce explains.
Commerce economists
foresee the following for
1979: real GNP growth of
approximately 3.5 per
cent; a decline in volume
growth of exports; a tight
ficrrl policy en-
vironment; increased
business non-residential
fixed investment;
slightly higher personal
expenditures on goods
and services; a less
severe decline in the
volume of residential
construction; moderate
increases in government
Course will offer some new ideas
The rural scene is
altering rapidly. "The
Church and Rural
Change", a one-week
course at the University
of Guelph, will offer an
objective assessment of
those changes along with
an opportunity•to analyse
and discuss some of the
moral and ethical aspects
of resource use.
Designed for lay
leaders as well as clergy,
the non-credit course
focuses on new
developments in land use
planning and food
production and examines
many aspects of change
Beef rose 9.8 percent
in rural communities.
"We hope not only to
work with the clergy and
lay leaders, but, through
them, with the many
people they daily come in
contact with," says
Professor N. R.
Richards, Department of
Land Resource Science,
who is co-ordinating the
course.
"In this way leaders
living in rural com-
munities not only become
better "informed them-
selves, but are also a
means of disseminating
information on new
agricultural develop-
ments to people in far-
ming.
Since there is also a
great need for the general
consumer' to be better
advised about what is
involved in the food
production system,
Professor Richards hopes
that leaders from urban
Farm gate prices are u
Farm -gate beef prices
rose 9.8 percent from
January to February this
year. In contrast pork
prices declined 6.8 per-
cent.. As a result .the
Farmer Price Index
(FPR) Meat Index in-
creased 3.6 percent in the
month, 30 percent year to
year. Almost the entire
annual, meat price in-.
crease was accounted for
by beef.
Prices paid to
producers for Grade A
large eggs increased by
one cent a dozen from
January to February.
A 5.4 percent increase
in ._the price of .cheese
milk accounts for the
change in the Dairy
Products index.
The FPI now stands at
216.9, a 2.1 percent in-
creas•? from last month
and 21.8 percent above a
year ago.
. Over the last five years
Public .is invited
the number of brand
name canned tomatoes
offered to consumers in
Toronto has declined
from 11 to six. Virtually
all the tomato canners
now pack for private
labels (of the super-
market chains). Many
pack only for private
labels. Private label
packs are now thought to
account for 60 to 70
percent of canned tomato
sales. In fact only one
brand name is currently
carried by all five major
chains in the province.
Industry sources in-
dicate that the wholesale
price of private-label
packs sold at a firm 50
cents a can in 1975,
declined to around 45
cents a can in 1978 and
has risen to 47 cents a can
now. Two main reasons
for the wholesale price
increase are the in-
stitution of anti-dumping

Bicycle laws

In a study completed
last year,- the Canada

veritable hodge-pod.ge of -
provincial laws relating
to bicycles and their
operation, and recom-
mended many changes to
all provincial govern-
ments.

it may be best to have a
mechanic check the
gears over once a year.
The bicycle saddle may
require an adjustment if
the young rider has
grown during the year -
about hip height is best.

neighbourhood for
bicycle safety courses' if
the child has never been
involved in one. It might
even' be a good com-
munity project to start
one. Any provincial
safety agency or the
Canada Safety Council
will help with ideas and
materials.

duties on some imports
and the decline in the
value of the Canadian
dollar. These have ef-
fectively shut out im-
ports, particularly from
the U.S.A. The price
information suggests that
retail mark-ups on
private labels have in-
creased from 13 cents a

wholesale) in 1975 to 18
cents a can (38 percent)
•.in 1979.
The recent price in-
creases not -withstanding,
canned tomatoes are•
nevertheless a good buy
in comparison with ftesh
tomatoes. Particularly so
during wintermonth's.
As fresh tomatoes sell
for about $1(?) per
pound, the purchase of
the canned product can
result in considerable
savings.

Juice prices are highly
influenced by prices of
fruit juices -- apple juice
and orange juice in
particular. In the last
year juice prices have
increased l8 percent for
name brands and 20
percent for private
labels..
