Nuclear Power ‘Unavoidable’

“Even if all Canadian

it would take 10 years to

Family Allowances Threatened.

Bonner predicted that by
1990 world demand for petro-
leum will outstrip capacity by
seven million to 19 million
barrels per day and new dis-

coveries are unlikely to solve
the problem. Oil discoveries

-demand.

By New Federal Restraints

The government is con-
sidering calling a halt to auto-
matic annual increases in family
allowances as part of a pro-
mised economic-recovery pro-
gram, federal sources say.

A hold-down on the month-
ly payments for school-age
children, due to increase Jan. 1
under an_ inflation-indexing
scheme, is among the cost cuts
being considered in federal
health, welfare, education and
cultural programs, officials say.

expect will be the first public

Consumer Prices
Jump in July

Consumer prices rose at
their fastest rate in more than
three years during July as
sharply higher food prices once
more fuelled inflation, Statis-
tics Canada reported recently,

The consumer price index,
the most widely used inflation
measure, was up by 1/2 per
cent after rising nine-tenths of
one per cent in June. The last
time it rose as strongly was in
June, 1975.

As a result, the 12-month
inflation rate in July was 9.8
per cent, up from 9.2 per cent in
June. It is the highest inflation
rate since November, 1975, one

the rest of this year. Its
findings were based on a more
current survey than the con-
sumer price index. However,
its conclusions were later chal-
lenged by supermarket spokes-
men, who said they saw no
reason why food prices would
level off although they might
