How do you se the new year shaping up? Canada seems to be beading towards more economic stabi- iity in the 1980's. For the year 1979, bowever, the only certain thing to be forecast is uncer- tainty, because these are not normai tirnes and the usual expectations for change seem to be no longer valid. Because of the country's past unempioyment record, the trend towards College education will intensify. Col- lege enrolîment will generaiiy increase, while that of Univer- sities wili decrease. Although it wili be political- iy unpopular, especiaily in an election year, some type of foreign excbange control is due to be imnosed.

This, combin- ed with the lweak Canadian economy, bas left financiai institutions "drowning in 11- quidity" this past year, as one economist so graphically put it. Pressure from rising unem- pioyment and a slackening economy combine to empha- size my feeling that interest rates will corne down at least a lîttie in 1979.' Unemployment wiil in- crease next year, aithough probably at a slower rate than in the past, due to the fact that the "baby boom" peaked some time ago and the work force is therefore increasing iess rapîdiy. Should foreign exehange controls be impos- ed, the rate of unemployment increase should be slowed stili further as new jobs would likely be created by the investment of Canadian funds in Canada rather than abroad. Growth in the U.S. is expected to slacken, produe- ing at least a slow couple of years or perhaps even an actual recession. If this hap- pens, Canada's economy will weaken stili further as impor- tant Canadian exports to the U.S. will slow down appreci- ably. The long-term average growth for Canada has been just over 5 per cent, and al indications lead to the conclu- sion that next year Canada's growth will (optimistically!) be around 4 per cent. The rate of inflation will be about 8 per cent in the new year. The march for more energy conservation wili continue. A major breakthrough will come in 1979, which will enable homeowners to insulate brick walls inexpensively and with- out any damage to the walls. Large companies will in- creasingly help finance and arrange car pools for their employees. A major trades agreement will be signed between Canada and China and will include the transfer of professional people to China. Corporate profits will in- crease by about 9 per cent and Petrocan will become the largest oul company in Canada.

It is called Muiti-Branch Banking (MBB) and ailows customers to gain access to their personai accounts at more than 900 branches rather than being limited to their own branch. Dick Bedard, Manager, Bowmanviile branch, said the new "MBB" service marks "the start of a new era in banking convenience for Canadians. Bank of Montreal customers can quickiy gain access to their personai accounts at over 900 branches." Wîth the new "MBB" service customers can make deposits, withdrawals from their account of up to $500 a day, transfer funds and update their passbooks at any of the over 900 "MBB" branches in Canada. The "MBB" service ismade possible by the bank's advanced on-uine real time, computer network that now links over 900 of the 1,239 Bank of Montreal Branches across Canada. These branches that of fer the "MBB" service will prominently display a decal on their doors to identify that branch as offering the "MBB " service. Additionai branches are being added to the "MBB" network on a regular basis, To take, advantage of "MBB", Mr. Bedard said, al that customers require is a special "MBB" card or a Bank of' Montreal Master Charge card. He empbasized there is no additional charge for this service. To obtain an "MBB" card, customers simpiy have to go to their own "MBB" branch and ask for it - they receive the card on the spot. The "MBB" cards are available îmmediately and the service will begin February 7. The "MBB" service is known as "Inter-Service" in French. Mr. Bedard said that the bank expects the "MBB" service to become very popular with customers. "We believe our customers shouid be able to do their personal, banking wherever it is most convenient to them. Whether they are at home, work, shopping or travelling, they will now be able to get to their personal bank account even when they can't get to their own branch. By Andrea Robson While everyone at M. J. Hobbs on January loth were busily working academically, the Hobbs' volleyhall teams went to Brighton High School to participate in the County Volieybail Tournament. Both our boys' and girls' teams went into the tournament second in our area against the first place Pines. When you play voiieyball it's usually the best 2 out of 3 games but at the tournament you played two games, and to get to the finals, two teams had to have the most points overail. Neither the girls' nor the boys' voileybaii teams won but stil they were quite successful. The winners for the girls was the Smithfield Tigers from the eastern part of the county and The Pines boys from the western part of the county. Botb the girls' and the boys' teams would like to express their appreciation and thanks to Miss Ray (girls' coach), Mrs. Moore and Mr. Webster (boys' coaches) for ail the time and effort tbey put into the teams. At Hobbs volleybail is not over yet for it is just the beginning of Nation Volleyball at noon bours. It seems to be quite a successful event witb ail the participation. Every gaine that is played by -a person tbey receive one point which goes toward their Province's points. The day after the County Volleyball Tournament was over our basketball teams startedto practice. The girls' and boys' teams seem to be enthusiastic because of the overwhelming response of people at the practices. I give a warning to ail other senior public scbools, "Look out for Hobbs! ". We don't always win but we always give our best and enjoy participat- ing. Hep yur lafRART Fu~O* News From The Hawk
