TORONTO (CP) — “I
can’t say I’m enjoying being
confined to this ironing
board,” John Oliver says of
the traction frame that keeps
his broken spine in place
while it heals, '‘but the other.
option was being six feet
under,”

Oliver was one of 102
passengers aboard Air
Canada flight 189 that
crashed into a ravine on
takealf from Toronto Inter-
national Airport on June 26,
killing two persons and
changing the lives of a
handful of seriously-injured

passengers.
“The worst I'll come out of

this with is having to use -

canes to walk, but Ill
definitely walk again,” said
Oliver, one of seven sur-
vivors still in hospital. “If 1
can live, I can walk.”

Oliver's attitude is typical
of the other seriously-injured
victims—their patience Is
exceeded only by their op-
timism.

Some are in convalescent
homes but moat are being
cared for at home under
doctors’ supervision.

‘The worst thing is the
mental strain,” said 30-year-
old Dave Goddard, whose
spine also was broken.
FIGHTING TRAUMA

“Tm bedridden. I’m
almost totally immobilized, I
can’t sit up, although I can
standup for about 10 minutes
with a back brace on.”

Goddard is fighting both
physical and psychological

trauma.

“Tf you think about it, it
starts to get scary. Sudden
memories of the crash come
back; Iget shaky when I see
things in the newspapers.”

Goddard says he laments a
feeling of uselessness while
recovering in his fiancee’s
Burlington, Ont., home and
fries not to worry about
money or walking again.

Like other survivors,
Goddard has a lawyer
studying compensatior
claims against Air Canada.

Two days after the crash,
airline officials told him they
expected to pay com-
pensation for pain and
suffering, lost wages and

expenses.

Safeway, brewery
strikes settled

WINNIPEG (CP) --
Tentative agreement was
reached Wednesday on a
new agreement to end a
Strike affecting Canada
Safeway Ltd. stores in Mani-
toba. In another dispule,
workers voted to end a

strike-lockout that has
paralysed Manitoba
breweries.

No details were disclosed
on terms of settlement for
either dispute, both of which
began June 5. ‘

Winnipeg employees

among the 2,000 members of
the Retail Store Employees
Unien (RSEU) were to
consider the proposed
agreement at a meeting
tonight, Meetings for out-of-
town members are expected
within 24 hours,
- Jim Witiuk, Safeway staff
negotiator, said agreement
in principle with RSEU of-
ficials came after a
marathon bargaining
session, He sald no more
Safeway stores would be re-
opened, until results of the
union ratification vote are
known.

The company has
reopened about 20 of its 30
Winnipeg stores as well as
several elsewhere’ in
Manitoba, and the fate of
RSEU members who re-
turned to work became an
issue in the dispute, with
Safeway seeking assurances
they would not be disciplined
by the union.

SEEK HIGHER WAGES

The RSEU had asked for
wage increases of about 20
per cent during a two-year
contract, and the company
had responded with an offer
of about 12 per cent.

Other union demands
included increased sick
Jeave and vacation benefits
for the 70 per cent of its
members who work part-
lime, and narrowing the
wage gap between female
cashiers and shelf stockers,
traditionally a male job.

Wages for store clerks
vary from $6.40 and hour to
$7.01 an hour.

Meanwhile, negotiations to

oe EE

settle strike-lockout
situations at Safeway’s
Lucerne Foods Lid, and
Empress Foods Ltd.
operations are expected to
resume this weekend.

The decislon'to end the
brewery strike-lockout,
which has halted the
production and distribution,

af Manitoba beer, was the .

result of a local-wide vote by
members of the United
Brewery and Soft Drink
Workers Union.

Earlier, in separate votes
conducted by units within the
union local, the offer was re-
jected by about 150 strikers
at Labatt’s Manitoba
Brewery and over-
whelmingly accepted by 325
members of the union locked
out at Molson Brewery
Manitoba Ltd., Carling
O'Keefe of Canada Ltd., and

Associated Beer
Distributors.
Russell Smyrichinsky, unit

chairman for union mem-
bers employed by Labatt's,-
said five of six members of
the unit bargaining com-
mittee resigned after the
vote.

Harold Loster, vice-
chairman of the committee,
said Labatt's workers have
to go along with the majority
decision because they now
are members of the same
union local, But he said the
Labatt’s workers may form
their own local within the na
tional union.

The central issue in the
dispute was an attempt by.
the breweries to have
negotiations conducted on an
industry-wide basis. The
union wanted to stick to
previous practice, with vari-
ous units within the local
bargaining separately.

Meanwhile, negotiations
are at a standstill in a strike
that hit the building industry
in Manitoba May 1, although
carpenters have been
holding membership
meetings on a contract offer.
The dispute involves such
building trades as plumbers,
pipefilters and sheet metal
workers.

_ Markets not affected
by Swift packers strike

TORONTO (CP) — Major
aupermarket chains and
consumers have not been

affected significantly by a

six-week strike at Swift
Canada Co. and a lockout by
Canada Packers Ltd. plants
in Toronto and elsewhere in
Canada.

Spokesmen for ° some
major food store chains in
Toronto said Wednesday
there is no shortage of
processed meats on shelves
or cold meat sections yet
because they have increased
their orders to other sup-

pliers.

Chester Wilcox, corporate
meat manager for Dominion
Stores Ltd., said his stores

‘have run out of Swift

products and are running
low on Canada Packers
goods but customers have
switched to other brands
without complaint.

Norm Riddell, vice-
president of meat operations
at Loblaws Ltd.,
these comments, but
predicted shortages of wie-
ners, back bacon and cold
meats if the strike continues
for two more weeks.

Production down

Production in the domvstic
economy turned broadly

downward during May, as .

the key indicator, real do-
mestic product, declined

from April levels, Statistics

Canada said Wednesday, —

Both gocds-producing and
service industries recorded
output declines, indicating
slack in the economy. The
index . - of industrial
production, which measures
performance- by industrial
companies that account for
about 30 per cent of domestic
output, fell by eight-tenths of

- The poor performance in
May follows a similarly
weak first quarter during
which total production in the
economy grew at an annual
real rate of only 2.8 per cent.
A five-per-cent growth rate
is considered the minimum
necessary. to -. prevent
unemployment from rising.

Among goods-producing
companies in May,
agriculture, fishing, mining,
manufacturing and utilities
all had lower output than in
April. Only forestry and
construction companies had
increased production.

In agriculture, lower dairy
and poultry production was
evident. A further cuthack in
