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. .

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. Baked Beans were mentioned for the first tima In Mrs. 5.

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 » oie per cent from April. - 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.
