6 The Canadian State inan, B m xiiavlleJaiua H 5,197 VtIinwol Geuèneâ%raâl Modtors Presiden Fee;ls Ovptimwistic A% bout--1977 By Donald A. MePherson The Canadian economy con- tinues its modest but real growth. Inflation and unem- ployment remain as problems for the country. However, inflationý no longer is at a double-digit rate. Consumer savings are avail- able and credit is in good supply. Used car and truck prices are at a biigh level, resulting in excellent trade-in alowances. GMN of Canadîa's new 1977 modeis are enjoying excellent customner acceptance in a bighly competitive market- place. We fuly expect that consumer demand for our cars and trucks will remain strong tbroughout the 1977 model year. For tbe first eleven montbs of calendar year 1976, retail deliveries of GM cars and trucks in Ca nada totalled 478,983 units, an increase of 8,645 vebicies over the eleven- montb- period of 1975. While GM passenger car retail deliveries bave been down somewbat in the 1977 model year to date as compared to, the year eariier, the 1976 model year figures were influenced substantiaiiy by the sales tax rebate program of the Government of Ontario. Our truck retail deliveries continue at a fast pace and are indicative of tbe basic strengtb of the economy to maintaii real growth. We expect that the Canadian automotive industry will' ex- perience a record 1977 model year and that GM of Canada will achieve another record year with combined car and truck 'sales in the neigbbour- hood of 565,000 units, We are most, gratifiçd tbat GMI of Canada and the UAW were able to negotiate a new labor agreement with only a very brief work stoppage at some of our plants. The settiement, the most expen- sive wage and benefit package ln the Company's history, will permit us to maintain our momentum in the market-, place. Conisidering anticipated in- flation rates, the average assembler wili receive wage and cost-of-living increases of more than $1.75 over the next tbree years, bringing tbe total straigbt-time wages, includ- ing the cost-of-living allow- a'nce, to over $8.25 per bour by the end of the contract period in September, 1979. We esti- mate that our total bourly labor costs will increase by at least $250 million oven the tbree-year period., t is essential that we maintain a realistic balance COMMERCIAL ,RESIDENTIAL 7'00- /S M TII K/NO0f FINE SERVICE WE HAVE FOR YOI/ ~ Franlcis Tenna nt Fuels R. R. 1, Orono, Ont. 983-5693 between productivity and our compensation rates in-order for the Company to grow and to compete for worid markets. General Motors of Canada bas a record number of employees on tbe nouls, some 36,000 people. Our line rates per bour at 1977 model start-up were up substantialiy fromn the previous year start- Up rates. At Oshawa, the production of fuil-size Chevrolets and Pontiacs was increased to 55 per hour, Up fromn 40. We now are building 37 Chevelies, LeMans and Monte Carlos per hour, up from 32 per bour a year eaniier. A construction program wicb is in progress will increase our capacity to 45 per hour during tbe Spring of 1977., The uine rate at Ste. Therese was increased from 45 to 50 vehicles per bour. The Osh- awa Truck Plant went fromn 34 to 36 per hour and tbe Scarborougb Van Plant went from 17 to 25 per hour. The economy of the United States continues its recovery and appears to bave sufficient momentumn to remain on a sustainable upward course. In fact, an increase in real GNP in 1977 of about five percent is expected. Tbe solid demand for cars and trucks in tbe U.S. is of major importance to GM of Canada's assembiy opera- tions since a major portion of our production is exported to that country. 1 There is good reason to expect that the U S. industry's combined car and truck deli- veries in calendar-year 1977 will establish an ali-time record. New-car sales are estimated to reach 1114 mil- lion units and truck sales of almost 3.5 million units are anticipated. In addition to the sbipments to the United States, GM of Canada expects to ship 51,000 cars and trucks overseas during the 1977 model year. GM of Canada's 1977 pro- duct uine-up demonstrates a continuing effort to anticipate and respond to tbe needs of its customers. Our completely new fuli-size cars are designed to offer additional comfort and safety, as weli as greater fuel economy. Typically, a fuil-size Chevrolet or ]Pontiac will average 4.8 miles per imperial gallon better than their 1976 counterparts, an improve- ment- of approximately 27 percent. This figure is based on Transport Canada's test procedure.

Eliminate Ring Around YoIk Do your bard cooked eggs have a dark halo'between the yolk and the white? "It's probably because they were hard-boiled and slow cooled instead of being gently cook- ed", say food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Minis- try of Agriculture and Food. A properly cooked bard cooked egg should not have the ring around the yolk. What ithe ring? It's ferrous sulfide, a combination of iron and sulfur. Where does it come from? As the egg is heated, iron in the yolk and sulfur in the white combine to form ferrous sulfide at the contact point. By regulating the intensity of the boiling water, cooking time, and by cooling the eggs rapidly, it is possible to eliminate, or at least reduce the formation of this compound. Cold Water Method - Perfect Every Time 1. Place eggs in saucepan and cover with cold water to a depth of about 1 inch., Use a small pani for 1 to 4 eggs. 2. Bring water to boiling point. Cover pan and set off heat or reduce temperature to keep water below simmering point. Allow 25 minutes for Large eggs, adding approximately 3 minutes more for Extra Large or deducting 3 minutes for Medium1 size. Allow less 1cooking time for Small eggs. Chili immediately in cold 1water. 1 By D.M. Dineen, Chief Libra- rian, Newcastle Public Library System Now that the hectic but happy season is over, it's time to relax-perbaps by a warmn fine.

IAgricultural News'I Siteep Performianice Testing Continues to Increase Sheep performance testing in Ontario continued to in- crease in 1976 both from the standpoint of number of breeders enrolled and the number of lambs tested. -The Ontario Sheep Perfor- mance Testing Program, ad- ministered by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food in cooperaition witb Agriculture Canada, consists of an on-farm performance flock test and a stati6on test of lambs., A total of 78 purebred and commercial sheep breeders performance-tested their flocks in 1976, and 31 of those enrolled on the flock testing program also station tested ram and-or ewe lambs. The Flock Performance Testing Program is a within- flock testing program to evaluate the productivily of each ewe in the flock and the performance of1 each lamb raised. The central station testing of lambs allow lambs fromf different farms to be evaluat- ed for average daily 'gain and feed efficiency when perfor- mance-tested under uniform feeding and management. Lambs- within a breed, which are identified and selected for these important economic traits, can be identi- f ied and selected for breeding, providing they are physically sound with no serious defects. With 21 new breeders enrol-, led in the 1977 Sheep Perfor- mance Testing Program, a continuing expansion in the program for 1977 appears assured. 4-H in Durham County 4-H in Ontario is basically designed for young people living in rural areas, but anyone interested can join. 4-H Agriculturai Clubs are open to boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 20.
