TORONTO, -- "Most econom. fe indicators point to continued prosperity in the coming 12 months", stated E. H. Walker, newly elected president of the Canadian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, in his review of the Canadian motor vehicle manufacturing industry in 1962 and the prospects for 1963, at i association's anuual meet- ing.

PRODUCTION AT PEAK Mr. Walker, who is president of General Motors of Canada, Limited, stated that production and payrolls of the industry in 1962 were higher than in any previous year.

Commenting on the temporary surcharges on imported motor vehicles and the devaluation of the Canadian dollar, Mr. Walker said that one of the effects had been to stimulate Canadian pro- duction and employment, "Can. adian mainufacturers are now producing in Canada a number of the models, both cars and trucks, which were formerly im- ported from the United States"'.
