ECONOMIC DEVELOP-
MENT

_ Economie recovery in the
Canadian economy began
about the middle of 1975
when real growth was
almost four percent during
the second half of the year
compared (o the first half, at
‘an annual rale. The rate of
expansion increased to 5.6
percent in the first six
months of 1976.

Overall rate of Consumer
Price Index increase for
September 1976 was 6.5
percent compared to 10.6
percent for the same month
a year ago. CPI items
covered by the AIB_ in-
creased by about 8 percent
in the same period as
compared with an 11 per-
cent increase last year.

_ Unit labour costs were

- held to an increase of 105.
percent for the first half of
1976 over the first half of
1975, compared to an in--
crease of 17.5 percent for the
corresponding period the
preceding year: ©

_.PRICES AND PROFITS
“~~ Average’ profit margins

for all companies in Canada
during the first half of 1976
were about 5.5 percent
compared to 6.3 percent for.
the same period a year ago.

By the end of August 1976,
the Board had identified 98
cases of actual excess
revenue, for an aggregate
total of $9 million. For most
companies this excess
revenue was for the first
-compliance period which in
most. cases lasted from
October 14, 1975
December 31, 1975.

The. average price pre-
natifieation allowed in
January-February of this
year was 8.6 percent while
the September average was
5.2 percent, - .

: The Board has reviewed a
pre-notification basis about
1,000 applications for price
increas
requests within the
guidelines. Seventean-of the
1,000 were rolled back or not

suppliers.

The Board has also
reviewed 190 dividend cases
with 92 above the guidelines
andrepresenting a proposed
aggregate increase of $398
million, The Beard allowed
$49.2 million in extra
dividends to be paid in these
cases.

The Board has received
23,134 - reports from
professional firms as of
17, 1976,
covering 40,596 prac-
titioners (owners or part-
owners of a firm) and. 14,533
professional employees.
Almost all reports received
indicate fees are being set in
accordance with the AIB
regulations, About 15,000
forms are still to be filed for

rofessional firms with
iscal years just recently
ended.

COMPENSATION

1.3 million employees are
covered by the 9,643 com-

nsation plans that have
been submitted to the Anti-
Inflation Board at or below
the arithmetic guidelines.

1.3 million employees are
covered by the 7,031 com-
pensation, plans submitted
which were above the
guidelines; as of September
24, 2,696 of these cases af-
fecting 676,507 employees
have been decided by the
Board.

Proposed increases for all
compensation plans sub-
mitted to the AIB have
declined from an average of
15 percent for collective
agreements and other

‘compensation plans com:

mencing during the pre-
program period, to 10.1
‘percent for plans com-
r during

to September 1976.

creases up to 10.5 percent
and the actual increases
finally accepted by the AIB
averaged out at 12.4 per-
cent. These amounts
steadily decreased until the
period from April to August
1976 when the average in-
crease submitted to the
Board was 11.3 percent with
the arithmetic guidelines at
93. percent and the average
of increases allowed by the
Board at 9.7 percent.

The Board had referred 51
compensation cases to the
Administrator by the end of

- September 1976; almost all
these cases were referred at
the request of the union or
gompany involved on the
basis of ‘dissatisfaction’

- with the recommendation of
the AIB. The Administrator
had ruled on 18 cases by that
time.

Rick, an ex-welder, is learning to use his new “hand”

Injured workers learn to adjust to their disabilities

Concerned

Citizens

Outdoor workers,
fishermen, hikers and all
people who are exposed to

e elements are potential
victims of a dangerous body
reaction called hypother-
mia. It is caused by ex-

ure and results in the
owering of deep-body
temperature to the point of
impairment.
rifling with the har-
shness nature can be
hazardous. Workers who
spend their day outdoors
can fall victim to the effects
of exposure without
recognizing the body's
warning signals soon
enough. Reaction is
sometimes disblief when a
rson suffers hypothermia
in air temperatures above
freezing, but most
hypothermia cases develop
in air temperatures between
30 and 50 degrees F. Never
underestimate the danger of
being wet at such ltem-
peratures for a prolonged

ridcd.
PsScientists from the
University of Victoria have
conducted extensive
research into cold water
survival, using as their
laboratory the chilly waters
of the Pacific Coast. One of
the scientists’ most
significant findings in-
dicated that persons who
remained still stayed
warmed about one-third
longer than those who were
swimming wearing a life-
jacket. Although we think in
terms of physical energy
producing heat, this activity
causes the blood to circulate
more quickly to the skin and
limbs. This increased cir-

culation results in more,

body heat being lost to the
water, They concluded that
the key to cold water sur-
vival was to remain as
inactive as possible and to

THE HERALD, Wednesday, November 17, 1976, PAGE B3

Hypothermia - new research
into deep body cooling

protect the body from heat
oss

Prevention is the simplest
defense against
hypothermia. Wear wool
clothing, including covering
for the head and limbs,
topped with waterprool
raingear before the clothes
become wet. Wool, when
wet, has a higher insulation
‘yalue than cotton-down or
synthetics.

Don't take the chance of
becoming exhausted.
Normal endurance is
greatly reduced by ex-
posure, and if exhaustion

orces you to stop, the rate

y heat production
drops by 50 percent or mare
and violent shivering may
begin.

A knowledge of how to
treat the victim of
hypothermia can prevent
serious body injury, even
death.

First, get the victim out of
the wind and rain, (or the
water, of course) and out of
all wet clothes, If he is only
mildly impaired — still
conscious -— give him warm,
sweet drinks, warm
clothing, blankets or a
sleeping bag. Depending on
the location and what is
available, warm (not hot)
pads, hot. water bottles,
warm bath or shower will
help. Build a fire if possible,

the victim is semi-
conscious or worse,

af

and
beyond shivering, tHere
may be a danger of a
temperature ‘afterdrop’.
Try to keep him awake and
give him warm drinks.
When there are no other

rewarming aids available,
someone will have to donate
body heat, removing his own
clothes and those of the
victim and transferring
body heat in a sleeping bag
or under blankets. This wi
be necessary because the
victim's body may be past
the point of generating
enough of its own heat for
rewarming.
