By JAMES NELSON OTTAWA (CP)E--If there's a pause in the forward march of the economy, the Canadian con- sumer does not appear to have paid much attention to it. Latest economic indicators made public by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics suggest that in the consumer sector, even higher prices have failed to dampen sales and other busi- Some other indicators of the health of business, however, have shown restriction--higher interest rates and more costly raw materials, for instance. But it may be business pres- sures themselves which have created these tendencies, some economists here say. DBS reported Thursday that department store sales ran 5.6 per cent higher in the week ended July 24 than they were in the same week last year. This report followed successive weekly increases of 7.7 and 8.1 per cent. The level of department store sales--a quickly-available and representative indication of re- tail sales generally -- usually slumps in June and July, re- covering with the back-to-school impetus in August and Septem- ber and then marching on to year-end highs as Christmas approaches.

Rebellious Computer Blamed Exams Results MONTREAL (CP) -- Quebec Protestant high school students, nervously awaiting their month- late final examination results, were no wiser Thursday when the results finally appeared. | A rebellious computer in the Quebec education department in Quebec City may have been responsible for the weird mish- mash of electronic hieroglyph- ics which returned a_ trium- phant 72 per cent in typing to one bemused student who, as he admitted, "had never been near a typewriter in his life." | Some Grade 11 students found) themselves with Grade 10 re-| sults.

A. Brakeley and Co. by the Tor- onto Arts Foundation to raise the needed $2,300,000 from the public for the centennial proj- ect. The mayor said: 'This guts- searing goings - on gets you down. Any more publicity like that of the last two days and you will kill the whole thing." Mr. Givens said there is nothing secret about Brakeley's involvement. "These people are not slick con artists who put half the money in their pockets. They do not canvass at all. They know the firms and individuals who give, how much they. give and what they give for." Mr. Givens said pledges total- ling $1,100,000 and assurances of another $400,000 have al- ready been-received from ma- jor firms.

A spokesman in the education department suggested Thursday the fault may lie with the stu- dents.

MP Works Hard By KEN KELLY OTTAWA (CP)--The plan of committee system liament next meets. The plan was devised by Maurice Moreau, a mining en- gineer and Liberal MP for the Toronto - area constituency of York-Scarborough. He has been given special responsibilities by Prime Minister Pearson to or- ganize committee work for the government. Mr. Moreau hopes the result will be to eliminate some of the conflicting demands on the time of MPs and the occasional embarrassment of not getting out enough MPs to make up a quorum for a committee meet- ing. The Commons approved a sweeping revision of the Com- mons committee structure dur- ing the first part of the parlia- mentary session which ad- journed June 30. First use of the new structure will come after Sept. 27 when Parliament is scheduled to reconvene. Mr. Moreau's first task was to draw up a tentative schedule To Improve Committee Plan Functioning There are two other impor-|.

Williams, a Montreal chiroprac- tor, was arraigned Wednesday on charges of conspiring to pro- cure an abortion and of per- forming the alleged abortion. Williams, 46, of suburban Ville d'Anjou, is alleged to have conspired June 9 and June 15 with Andre La Riviere, who de- scribes himself as a psycho- analyst, and-to have performed the alleged abortion June 10. La Riviere himself has been charged with conspiracy and with performing an abortion on a young woman about June 10. He was charged with "con- spiring with one E. B. Williams to commit the offence between June 9 and 15 and with having carried out an illegal operation about June 10." to be allocated to the 15 Com- mons committees. JUGGLE SCHEDULE Then he had to juggle this schedule against Liberal mem- bership on the committees to reduce conflicting times to a minimum so that as far as pos- sible an MP wouldn't find him- self on two committees sched- uled to meet on the same day and at the same time. His problem was complicated by the fact that the committee membership had been estab- lished before he went to work on his plan. He would have pre- ferred canvassing Liberal MPs to get their first, second and third preferences for the com- mittees. In the past, committee meet- ings have generally been fixed by the committee chairmen, sometimes without any consul- tation to determine whether the time and day conflicted with meetings of other committees.

He said he expects to receive the agency report sometime to- day. The factory faces a shutdown Sept. 16 when federal vocational training grants run out. Mr. Randall said the agency must determine whether the factory is suffering growing pains, or lacks markets.
