VANCOUVER. (CP)

Published, every weekday at 010 + Kalin Street: es

— Canadians must consider-closer |

economic ties with the U.S. if they want to maintain thelr .

current standard of living, a Toronto. economist told a
conference of self-proclaimed futurists Sunday. -

University of “Toronto professor. John. Crispo told
delegates at the Canadian Association for.Future Studies
conference at the University of B.C. that free exchange of -
goods between the two countries is the key to Canada’ ‘S
economic growth.

He said a common market arrangement between the U.S. |
and Canada — similar to the European Economic Com- _
munity agreement —would open badly-needed markets for
Canada. ;

“Most economists will tell you thatyou need ready access |
to a market of 100 million people i in order to survive, ” he
said.

BEIRUT (AP) — Three days had gone by without serious:
~ shooting, and some fresh fruit and vegetables went on sale
' for the first time. That was the good news in devastated
West Beirut on Sunday... .

But despite major repaira to the badly damaged water
system in the-Moslem sector of the Lebanese capital, the’
‘Israelis apparently still refused to turn on the valve, They
also still refused to turn the electricity back on.

Frult and vegetable vendors on the street. were evasive .
when asked how their stocks got through the’ Israeli
blockade,

"From the | east, I don’ ! know exactly where,” sald one,
“They came in trucks and we bought them from them.”

Others said the produce was being smuggled.from the

~ south — Sidon and Tyre — and the smugglers had to pay as

much as $3,000 a truck to the Israelis and their Lebanese

In his speech, Crispo_said present tariff laws designed to
protect Canadian industries have created east-west con-

“We in the east took the auto and stéel industries and said

speak today.

Although only 110 members attended the conference, the
association already is looking forward to next year's
- meeting in Toronto. Its téntative theme: “The Future of
Futurism.”

Blair said Canada isi in the midst of a depression that will ¢

” But the maln reservoir in west Beirut remains dry ands no
