Works chosen were sub- John Smith said last week at a conference in Winnipeg. There are four factors which in the country over the next tîve years. According to Smith, coin- panies are stifl not operating at full capacity, remnaining below their pre-recession peaks, while resource- in- dust ries are still struggling te recover fromn the recession. Demand f'or most resource produets is genrerally expected to be weak for the rest of the decade, an outlook, not likely to encourage sîgnificant capital expansion in the primary sector, he said. The growth rate ofinet ment in the energy sector is also expected to be weak in the next five years, reflecting the recent completionl of ma- jor expansions by electrical utilities and a slower rate of frontder oil and gas explora- tion than the rapid pace of the late 1970s. Smith said uincertainity about future interest rates is the fourth factor lîkely to af- fect intterest rates in the next few years. Nominal rates have fallen from their 1981 peak, but they have not kept pace with the decline in infla- tion, he said, VIA train 40 minutes late first day After a three-year absense, the re-instated VIA Havelock-Toronto train had 67 passengers and was 40 minutes late on its first day of operation. VIA is encouraged that 67 riders used the service, despite the fact the two-car train will accomnodate almost 170 paîýngers. VIA is nQw involved in ani advertising bli designed to let more people know about the service. The advertising- is a\main concern for the riders because the train has been re-instated on a two-year, trial basis and will continue after that time only if it pays for itself. Fuînding for hospital n'grossly inadequate' Inadequate government fun- ding in the face of rîsing costs may casue Port Hopeý hospital to dip intio its trust account to pay for capital itmes for the first time in its history. Stewart Strathy, Chairman of the hospital board sýays the 2.8 percent incease in funding proposed by the Ministry of Health is grossly inadequate. With wage ianrases at more than five per cent this, and operating costs up fIi&. eight percent, many hospitals will find themnselves in dire straits. Liqu ified naturalggas plant protested C--oncerned Cîtizens Against LNG, Hal-dimnand, gave u-nanimous approval last week to a proposai to collect $l,00 to) hire a Iawyer to fighit plans for a liquified natural gas plant in Nor- thumiberland coun.ty. The gas company is current- ly studying six sites in Nor- thumberland - two in each of Haldimnand, Cra.mahe and Brighton townships - for a gas refrigeration plant and a 14-storey-high liquified natural -as storage tgnk. (Continued page 7) F rom Around the Regioi Reversai on GO trail The provincial government announced on Monday that GO trains would be used on the extension of the GO system from Pickering to Whitby and fïnally Oshawa. This reverses a former deci- sion that the province was to instail a Iigth rail car system which were to operate in- dependent on one another. t is now stated that GO trains can supply the service to Whitby two years earlier and at a cost saving nearly $100nmilion. Health unit to get tough Food busineses that reguiarly violate health regulations will soon be levied tickets and fines. Authority hias been given to inspectors to issue tickets witb fines up to $ 100.00 for repeatedly breaking mhinor heath regulations. Durham inspectors visit some 1700 food premnises an- nually and carry out 8000 in- spections. Refuse Co-op housing project The Canadfian Mortgage and Housing Corporation refused funding for a 40-unit co-op housing project in Oshawa even though the city has a 0.0 vacancy rate. Funds are to bc used elsewhere in the province.

Continue use of Forest Centre The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources have signed a seven year lease for the Ministry use of the Forest Centre near Kendal. The Ministry uses the Cen- tre for their Junior Ranger programi during July and August and have done so since the Authority obtained the property a number of years ago.

Summer Enterprises program provides 60 jobs for Whitby- Oshawa students The Summer Enterprises programi is offering 600 On- tario teenagers the opportuni- ty to run their own businesses this summer - and 50 of those jobs will bc open to Oshawa and Whitby-area students. Although open to 14 to 18-year-olds, the program is geared specifically to Grade 9- and 10s, who often have trou- ble getting summer work because of their lack of ex- perience. After the 50 students are chosen, they will be divided into two companies and will each manufacture a product, researched by Garner and Cox. They will work 20 hours a week out of the Junior Achievement Centre on William Street. The program is run by Junior Achievement Canada and sponsored by a grant from the Mînistry of Skills Development.
