C4 Recovery scenario clear By KEN SMITH The Canadian The scenario for Canada’ recovery from the deepest recession the country has seen in 50 years is becoming clearer. The good news is that there will be real growth this year, after a major drop in 1982, and current gains will prove to be the basis for stronger expansion in 1984. The bad news is it’s going to be years before such key elements of the economy as employment and business in- vestment can be expected to get back to where they were two years ago. Enough data is available to be able to start assessing the reasons for the economic de- cline. A major factor, of course, has been the international situation.

Faced with that 1981 in- flation rate, Ottawa — in the view of many economists — decided to tighten the screws further to squeeze inflation out of the economy. Last year, the rate aver- aged 10.8 per cent. For the last three months, says Statistics Canada, the rate if extended to an annual basis would be only 2.1 per cent. But at what cost? And what are the impli- cations for the future? One cost, notes Tom Max- well, vice-president and chief economist with the Ottawa- based Conference Board of Canada, has been a drop of more than five per cent in employment since the reces- sion officially started in the summer of 1981, JOBS LOST ‘That translates 600,000 fewer jobs. It took more than a decade to create those jobs during a period when Canada. was leading the industrialized world in job building — and they've been wiped out in 18 months. It means 1.6 million Cana- dians are officially listed as out of work. What of business invest- ment? Last year, faced with plunging sales, soaring in- terest rates and disappearing consumers, business invest- ment in plants and equip- ment fell by 11.5 per cent in real terms after adjusting for inflation, Maxwell says, Business investment is the stuff that creates jobs, With- out it, the economy suffers, The outlook for this year? Another major decline, predicts Maxwell. Corporate earnings are far too weak to be able to undertake major expansions or rehirings, In fact, he suggests, it will take until at least 1987 for business investment to get back to the place where it was in 1981. into That's the reason Maxwell. expects unemployment will remain over 10 per cent for several years. Is there any hope? Yes, suggests Maxwell. It's the consumer. In recent years, people have been stashing dollars aside at record rates because they were scared still of what was happening to the econ- omy. Surveys suggest their con- cerns about unemployment, inflation and high interest rates may be easing. If so — and if inflation levels and interest rates keep decreasing — there may be an outburst of spending. Then we'll see a renewal of economic growth, “The Complete paealtateas Appliances Sold May 199 — General Electric Kitchen Aid — Jenn-Air” > ease “THE BEST” WARRANTY SERVICE INSTALLATION SERVICE EXPERT “REPAIR SERVICE MITCHELL AUTO PARTS RAPA} Feral Your Auto Needs Columbia Ave. 365-7248 CASTLE TIRE (1977) Ltd.

(CP) — Fok the last four’ baseball. seasons, Montreal Expos have been like a master seeking the com- bination-that would bring the World Series to Carga for the first time. They almost got the safe open in 1979 and 1980, but they were one number‘ short each time. In 1981, ‘the Expos actually. got their fingers inthe door, only to have it slam shut when Rick Monday of:Los Angeles Dodgers-deprived them of a World Series berth with a‘ninth-inning home run. year, the co and the team went through a confused, ehachie season that left it further from its - Only ‘the leader of the safecracking operation has changed as the Expos prepare for another Fast in 1983 with their National League opener against Chieago Cubs next Tuesday. Somehow it is appropriate that Bill Virdon, the man who replaces Jim Fanning as manager of the Expos, has NL, AL previews, page BS guided teams within an eyelash of a ‘World Series but never into the fall event. Twice asa ‘tianager he-has gone to the final game of a league championship series, only to emerge a loser. Perhaps Virdon and the Expos can learn together the proper combination to the Neti National League pennant. One thing appears certain: Expos general manager John McHale has as much as indicated ‘that Virdon is the key figure in erasing the six-game deficit that separated the club from the East Division title last season. OPENS FOR CUBS ¥ Consider, for example, that the eight players who open against the Cubs will likely be the same ones that finished the 1982 season. The only real question coming out of spring training is whether Warren Cromartie or Terry Francona, will play Hight field and whether Bryan Little has sufficiently ‘to wrest the sh p.job from Chris Speier. " Much will depend on Virdon's search for a number two hitter in the batting order. The Expos used 11 different: players in that spot last year, with Francona, before he was” lost for the season in June with torn’ knee, ligaments, the most productive. Virdon, as is his style, did not divulge his thoughts on the matter. “There won't be any scoops,” he told reporters. “You'll all know at the same time early next week.” The betting is he will start the season with the incumbents, Cromartie and Speier. Around the rest of the di id, the faces will definitel: be the same, with Al Oliver at first base, Doug Flynn at second, Tim Wallach at third and Gary Carter catching. Tim Raines will again patrol left field and Andre Dawson will be in centre. oe The four starting pitchers also eumaia the same. Steve Rogers will start on opening day for the eighth straight time and will be followed to. the mound by Bill Gullickson, Scott Sanderson and .Cherlie’ Lea, Sanderson, bothered by a tender arm for most of the spring, could be held back a turn. No one has emerged as a clear-cut fifth starter in the Grapefruit League. Left-handers Dan Schatzeder.and Randy Lerch were inconsistent and Ray Burris, the right-hander, came on strong after a slow start. It is likely Virdon will alternate the fifth starting spot, using a left-hander against a predominately left-handed hitting opponent and vice versa, with the other two working in the bullpen. bay in the season, the bullpen may. need all the help it” can get since Jeff Reardon and Woodie Fryman, the two short men, were. by injuries . the exhibition season.

NORDIQUES 5 ‘WHALERS 4 HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Former Whaler Blake Wesley capped:a three-goal Nordiques outburst in the third period Saturday night as Quebec Nordiques defea- ted Hartford 5-4 in the Whalers’ final home appear- ance of the season. Wesley, who came to Que- bec in a trade this season for Pierre Lacroix — who scored two goals for Hartford — scored the game-winning goal with 2:28 remaining. Trailing 4-2, the Nordiques started their comeback when Michel Goulet deflected a pass from Wilf Paiement past Whaler goaler Greg Millen at - the 13:12 mark. Twelve sec- onds later, Jacques Richard the last 11 visits — and ended MIKE BOSSY ++. power-play goal tied. the game on another deflection, this time from Anton Stastny. Wesley’s game-winner came when he eluded Millen with a wrist shot from the left point on a power play.

And Bossy, who joined Phil Esposito as the only NHL player with at least 60 goals in four differ- ent seasons, broke a 3-3 tie with a short wrist shot past Pittsubrgh goalie Michel Dion. It was Bossy’s 19th power-play goal of the year. Thon, 8% minutes later, Carroll — a defensive for- ward who had been blanked in 69 previous games this season — put a short shot between Dion’s pads on a setup from Goring. And Greg Gilbert added an empty-net goal with 10 seconds remain- ing. i CANADIENS 2BRUINS 1 MONTREAL (CP) — ee whistled a slap shot Pete Peeters UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Mike Bossy's power-play goal at 11:14 of the third period led New York Islan- ders to a 63 victory over Pittsburgh Penguins and made Bossy the first National Hockey League player to score at least 60 goals in three consecutive seasons. ‘The Islanders trailed 3-8 in the final period and had failed on a 10-minute power play before their specialty team turned the game around. Butch Goring and Billy Car- roll connected on short-hau- ded efforts and Bossy got his power-play goal. Goring tied it with his short-handed goal at 7:31, a rebound of Tomas Jonsson's for he 40th goal of the season at 2:17 of the third period to provide Montreal Canadiens with a 2-1 triumph over Boston Bruins. The Bruins had pulled into 41-1 tie less than one minute earlier when Rick Middleton deflected Barry Pederson's pass beyond Montreal goal- tender Rick Wamsley at 1:86. It was the 48th goal for Middleton, But the Bruins’ efforts proved fruitless when Napier raced down the right wing and unleashed a drive from the top of the faceoff circle that ripped through Peeter’s pads into the net. Up to that point, Peeters presented the Canadiens with a major stumbling block, especially in the sec- ond period when Montreal outshot the Bruins 14-6, But after the Canadiens took the lead it was Wams- ley’s turn to shine, with some of his finer saves coming around the seventh minute when teammate Ryan Walter was in the penalty box. Steve Shutt, with his 35th," had given the Canadiens a 1-0 lead with a goal early in the second period. KINGS 8 NORTH STARS 5 INGLEWOOD, Calif.
