Just as there was a period of read- justment in 1950, following the out- break of the Korean war, "we have at "hand anathan paint a2 saadinat ment at this time o of a slight A of international tensions." However, at a reasonably high general level, déspite the fact that there may be some regional difficulties and some soft spots in the economy. "What many people do. not realize is that current expansion in Canada has been due largely to an upsurge in the civilian sectors of the economy," said Mr. Borrie. "Actually we should be gearing our thinking to the great opportunity afforded businessmen if internatipnal tensions are at long last somewhat eased.

This way, unit costs can .be lowered and salaries and wages increased. Highlights of the economic outlook for the year ahead on the basis of expert opinion made available to The Canadian Cliamber of Commerce, were outlined by Mr. Borrie as follows: Employment -- Trend slightly up- ward in spite of some soft spots and possibly more seasonal unemployment, Consumer Expenditure -- Higher consumer expenditure potential, but new products and more salesmanship needed. to capture. increased numbers of consumer dollars. & Hy National Income -- Expected to at least match 1058 levels.: Capital Investment--Domestic and foreign capital investment expected to be higher than 1053 levels.

Juniors a .trouncing with a score of 7 to 1, - They definite- ly out skated the Petes and despite is large number of penalties the first st periods showed many fast Ee. In the first period Port tallied three goals to Petes one. First one to net 'a goal was Port captain Tommy 0'Connor.on a pass from Neil Atters- ley. Two minutes later Copeland got the next with Brodie and Romanuk assisting. The Petes then came back with Gardner squeezing one by Ross Hawe on a pass from Morrow which turned out to be the only goal for the Petes. Ross just refused to open the [door for any more to enter, and be-| lieve me Ross covers the front of that inet just about as effectively as a door. | O'Connor, assisted by Brodie and Romanuk tallied one more for the Flyers to end the period. The second period became rather hectic as tempers began to flare as a result a number of rather cheap pen- alties, due mostly to the fact that re- ferees do not have eyes back and front, plus several Pete players talking a two minute penalty into a misconduct. The only goal of the period went to Roma- nuck of the Flyers on. taking a neat pass from Copeland. In the third period things settled down a little but the Petes just could not -match the speed turned on by the Flyers with the result that they netted all the counters. Bill Gibson tallied blue line he broke fast and caught all the Petes away from home except for goalie Delahey and on letting go with a hot one it did not stop with him eithér but found its way right in the Petes' net. The Flyers, a man short at the time, John Chaszeweski received a pass from O'Connor and made it Copeland going in on the Petes' net with Brodie received his pass and made the proper use of it even though he did tangle with goal post throwing his shoulder out. This 7 to 1 victory put the Port|- Flyers at the top of the standing and if they keep up their speed and passing they are sure to be in the play-offs. CENTRAL ONTARIO JR.
