The buck

problem

“Aw you look like Bugs
Bunny!’ -- “Hey Beaver, go cut.
mea tree!”

Kids with “buck” teeth are
really hurt by this mockery, but
it is heard almost everyday in
schoolyards across Canada. En
the past 40 years, access to the
specialized form of dentistry
used to straighten crooked teeth
was restricted to the “big
smoke” centres. °

Big city kids -- and even here -
the ones in the upper income
families - mostly benefited
from this specialized form of
dentistry called orthodontics in
past generations.

But more dentists have gone
into this specialty and many in
the smaller municipalities
across Canada, so the expense
and bother of taking ac child to
the city is rarely necessary.
Modern technology has also
slashed the actual cost of this
service, so now the town boy
can smile with the confidence of
his city slicker cousin who’s had
his teeth straightened.

BUSINESS PICTURE

B.C. shows recovery

Though the patterns of
business activity across Canada
this year have been quite
encouraging, the recent new
lines of U.S. policy and the
resulting spread of
international tensions have
once again underlined the
growing interdependence of the
present-day world economy,
says the Bank of Nova § Scotia
in its current Monthly Review.

Canadian production has for
some time: been running more
strongly than that in the United
States - the volume of G.N.P.
rising by more than 3 percent in
last year's slowdown
(compared with an actual
decline south of the border) and
picking up to a6 percent rate in
the first half of this year (as
against 4 percent in the United
States).

Nevertheless, the. Review
notes that the unexpectedly
strong Canadian performance
drew a gaod deal of its impetus
from the emergence of renewed
expansion in the United States,
and there were thus some very
clear implications for the
Canadian economy when for
several weeks prior to mid-
August it appeared that the
momentum of the U.S. recovery
was tending disturbingly to
falter, The U.S, measures of
mid-August were clearly aimed
both at correcting that
country's external payments
position and atre-energizing the
process of recovery. Yet the

measures have raised difficult —

trade questions for Canada, and
also complicate the immediate
problems of trying to spur on a
sufficiently vigorous expansion.
Taking note of the stimulative
policies that have been pursued
for the past year and a half, the
Review suggests that probably
the earliest and most evident
response has been in the sharp
revival of housing starts all
across the counlry. By the
. early part of this year, a further
major support to business
recovery also emerged in the
strikin, upturn of retail sales,
These movements have been
supported by a fairly well-
sustained uptrend in incomes
plus : some important
retroactive wage payments, but

they also seem toreflect at least
some disappearance of the
former hesitancy in spending on
consumer durables such as
tars, and an added impetus
from the larger number of
completed housing units coming
onto the market in recent
months.

Going on to discuss conditions
in each of the major.regions of
the country, the Review notes
that in the Atlantic Provinces
the recovery has been
somewhat slower to develop
than in other areas. The
regional trends of production
and employment flattened out
in 1970 as the markets for many
exports eased, and they have
thus far begun to rise again only
Marginally, However, total
incomes have been rising faster
than in many other areas and
this combined with a growing
regional tourist business has
provided the basis for a marked
rebound in retail sales. New
construction activity also has
become more vigorous, though
with the: exception of
Newfoundland this has largely -
reflected the surge in the
housebuilding sector.

The quickening pace of
business in Quebee has about
matched the national pattern,
the province sharing fully in the
resurgence of construction
activity and in the upturn in
consumer spending. With a
variety of restraining
influences om many key
industries. {notably on
newsprint, primary aluminum,
aircraft, electronics, | and
chemicals), it is not surprising
that the overall pace of goods
production has remained slow,
However, a more encouraging
trend is at last emerging in the
province’s capital investment
Picture. Housebuilding is, of
course, contributing a good deal
tathis, but construction work is
also accelerating in
government-sponsored projects
.as well as in certain primary
industries, particularly iron ore
and copper,

Signs of revival in the Ontario
economy began to appear well
before the start of this year, but
thus far goods production has
failed to stage a concerted

- grain exports rose to

‘advance. It has thus been left

largely to the construction and
service sectors lo lead the way
out of last year’s economic
slowdown. Construction
activity has played an
important sustaining role over
the past year, with housing
starts having moved up
appreciably and with. a
commercial building boom
continuing in the Toranto area.
While the new U.S, economic
measures should boost auto
production, for several other
Ontario industries {such as
machinery, chemicals and
textiles) the import surcharge
is adding to existing market
pressures. Even though
investmentovera wide range of
manufacturing industries is
down this year, total ‘capital
outlays are still expected to
show a sizeable rise.

Led by a marked turnaround
in agriculture, Prairie resource
industries are providing much
of the steam for the region's
recovery, Canaan's overall
-a record
672 million bushels in the 1970-71
crop year, and the harvest this
year may be up as much as 35
percent. Saskatchewan is the
principal beneficiary of the
improvement in agricuiture,
and the province is also getting
something of a boost from other
directions, including increased
potash sales, which were helped
by the success of the pro-
rationingscheme. In Manitoba,
while a number . of
manufacturing industries have
turned stronger, capital outlays
have. fallen off and the:
mining picture for the moment
is somewhat clouded. All major
sectors of the Alberta economy
have been gaining strength,
Crude oil production this year
has been running about 10

percent above last’ year while  §

the production of natural gas is
continuing to rise at a rate

. limited only by reserves and

pipeline capacity.

Of all-the regions of . the
country, British Columbia has
been showing the sharpest
recovery, the Bank notes.
Demands have improved for a
number of the province's
resource products (especially
