Canadian Pacific made substantial progress across a broad spectrum of tranâ€" sportation and â€" natural resource activity in 1972. The momentum of the Canadian economy this year and the continued strength anâ€" ticipated in 1973 indicate that the company will achieve a satisfactory rate of growth again next year. A balanced expansion of the economy is envisaged for 1973. Foreign trade was a major retarding influence on the tempo of business in 1972 but domestic demand was brisk and should maintain its pace in 1973. The generally favorable business situation in Canada‘s major markets and reduced tension in inâ€" ternational monetary affairs are likely to ensure sufficient growth in exports to prevent a further deterioration in Canada‘s trade balance. The continued intensity of price pressures is a source of concern.‘ Wage settlements have remained excessive in relation to prospective gains in productivity and the ‘outcome of a heavy slate of wage negotiations in 1973 will have a strong influence on future price trends. €P Rail freight revenues in 1973 are expected to rise significantly above 1972 levels. Major growth areas will be export coal, potash, automobiles, pool cars United States demand for fertilizer should result in increased potash traffic and revenues.

More pool car traffic will be carried in containers instead of boxcars, particularly pool merchandise from the Far East via Pacific coast ports. Marketing efforts in 1973 will be aimed at imâ€" plementing more intermodal systems and improving the railway‘s market share of commodities sensitive to trucking competition and energyâ€"related commodities such as coal, petroleum and liquefied petroleum gases. During 1972, CP Rail purchased 150 container flatcars to handle increased importâ€"export and domestic container _ traffic; 100 commodate increases in the number of highway trailers moving by rail; forty 3,000â€" horsepower diesel locomotives _ for _ tranâ€" scontinental fast freight service and 30 cabooses. Freight train operating performance continued to improve in 1972. Average train weight was only marginally higher but an improvement of more than three per cent in train speed resulted in an increase of about 3.5 per cent in gross ton miles per train hour. The first of two new largeâ€" scale computers was inâ€" stalled early in 1972. This has improved management information systems, perâ€" mitting more economical utilization of transportation resources and more efficient customer service. . The fortunes of CPâ€" Air improved substantially in 1972, reflecting a vigorous SVE 25 % SAVE 25 % MINIMUM $20 upsurge in traffic. Although the favorable economic conditions which fostered this growth may well conâ€" tinue in 1973, there are several uncertainties which cloud the outlook. The inâ€" ternational fareâ€"making organization, IATA, has not reached agreement on the tariff structure which will apply on the vital North Atlantic â€" services . next summer. Another _ conundrum concerns the possible effects of new charter rules on scheduled services. The "affinity group" restrictions are to be discarded in favor of new regulations which will allow lowâ€"rate group travel requiring advance reserâ€" vations and purchases. There is the further possibility that airlines may be allowed to carry charter groups on scheduled flights. These developments are certain to have a profound effect on the economics of air transportation in 1973. In any case, it seems evident that the airline indâ€" ustry is moving into an eraof lowâ€"cost transportation and this was an important consideration in CP Air‘s decision to order two Boeing MEMBER OF DENTURIST SOCIETY OF ONTARIO Aé AN AgCREDiTED mEMBER OF THE DENTURIST SOCIETY our SCHEDULE CONFORMS WITH THE ETHICAC PRICE RANGE ESTABLISHED BY THE SOCIETY WHO IS THE BAKHA‘U‘LLAH?

CP Ships is entering a period of consolidation of its containership _ activities with continuing study being given to future expansion of capacity. Severe probléems were encountered in North Atlantic container operations in 1972 with port strikes seriously curtailing or stopping operations for more than four months of the year. There will be significant growth in Canadian Pacific (Bermuda) Limited in 1973 with the delivery of three 30,000 tdw product tankers and one 120,000 tdw bulk carrier. Two of these vessels will be operated on the spot or shortâ€"period charter market. During 1972, orders were placed for two adâ€" ditional product tankers and a third crude oil super tanker which will be delivered in 1974. By late 1974, CP (Berâ€" muda) will have a diverâ€" sified fleet of 19 modern crude oil tankers, product tanker, bulk carriers and specialized bulk carriers. Studies of other potential derway. Canadian Pacific‘s three trucking services â€" CP Express, CP Transport and Smith Transport â€" were realigned under a single holding company in 1972. A stronger coastâ€"toâ€"codst trucking _ operation _ is emerging, both in its own right and as part of Canadian Pacific‘s _ interâ€"mbdal transportation system. Further improvement in trucking services revenue is indicated in 1973 as a result of volume increases from an anticipated higher level of industrial activity. However, operating and maintenance cost increases will likely outstrip productivity gains for the year. CRuSH Sharing new found skills Want the smoking habit?
