Retailers say stock up on clothes before GST OTTAWA (CP) — If you plan on sprucing up your\wardrobe or stocking up on more clothes for the kids, do your buying before Jan. 1 when the new federal sales tax kicks in. That's the advice of both clothing manufacturers and retailers. The price of clothes will inevitably rise — and probably by the full seven per cent of the tax — for two reasons. First, clothing is currently exempt from federal Sales tax. And second, months of slumping sales have pared apparel retailers’ profits so severely they cannot afford to absorb the impact of the tax. It will hit both apparel manufacturers and retailers as they struggle to stay competitive and mai in sales, spokesmen said in recent interviews. “‘Business is so bad right now in women’s apparel that if most of the tax isn’t passed through to customers, companies’ losses will rise,’’ said Fred Hutchinson, vice-president for finance at Dalmys Canada Ltd., a women’s clothing chain. “If they don’t pass it on, some clothing retailers will go bankrupt.’” Competition is so intense among clothing chains, many have almost no profit margin left, Hutchinson said, adding he is sure the tax will result in lower Profits in 1991. Companies may try to cope by selling more lower priced clothing from countries such as the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations rather than Canadian-made apparel, he said. That will be happening when stagnant sales already mean next year ‘‘will be close to disastrous,”” he said. A spokesman for Dylex Ltd. agreed most retailers will add the full tax to prices. “*That’s certainly the intention here,’’ said Paige -Cantle. “*The tax won’t help clothing retailers already ADVICE irk College — Castleger Compus crveec epeennens ti Ihe ppaiven of .

Both Dylex and Dalmys have recently reported sharp rises in losses. Toronto-based Dylex recorded a first-quarter loss of $10.5 million this year, more than two times greater than the $4.2 million loss in the first three months of 1989. Dalmys profit for the year ended last Feb. 24 was $111,000, compared with $426,000 the previous year. Reitmans Ltd., a women’s clothing chain, said last week it suffered a first-quarter loss of $818,000 this year, down from a profit of $29,000 for the same period a year ago. “There are a lot of low-paid jobs out there and people living in cities with a high cost of living simply aren’t buying much clothing,’’ Hutchinson said. “They're employed but can’t afford to buy Clothing designers and fashion magazine editors have told women it’s all right to spend $800 on a blazer because it will last for years, he said. Apparently, women have been listening and they’re wearing the same clothes year after year. But Frank Clayton, a retail consultant in Toronto, says Statistics Canada figures indicate retailers kept a tight lid on prices for men’s and women’s wear last year. Flat sales have more to do with declining consumer spending in a tightening economy than price tags, he said. Prices for women’s wear increased 3.8 per cent in 1989 over those of the year before. Men’s clothing Prices last year went up 4,2 per cent compared with 1988. ‘salary and benefit package in accordance with the Administrative Salary and Benefits policy , Please send applications, including three references, by August 3, 1990, to: SELKIRK COLL Seki sa —— crear came le (a 365-7292 ESSO PETROLEUM CANADA Has a 2 BAY FULL SERVICE SERVICE STATION IN SALMO, B.C. ___ FOR LEASE Minimum Capital Required $35,000.

Head injuries are possible but the risk is less for drivers of the 1990 Isuzu Amigo, the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, the Chevrolet S-10 Pickup, the BMW 352i and the Volkswagen Passat, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. . The vehicles were tested by driving them head on into a fixed barrier,-creating the same conditions as a head-on collision between identical vehicles driving at 56 kilometres an hour. The conditions also are the same as when a car moving at 112 km-h strikes an identical parked car, Test results apply only to occupants using seat belts and, in certain cars, air bags. The tests are conducted ‘using dummies that represent an average-sized bp: pon pe Under the administration’s index, a score of 750 or lower means head injury is unlikely; 750 to 1,250 means head injury is possible; and anything higher means head injury is likely. A separate scale records the possibility of chest in- jury, which is considered likely when the score tops 60. The lower any of the numbers, the lower the poten- tial for injury. But for purposes of comparison, vehicles have to be of the same type and weigh within 225 kilograms of each other. The Trooper had a score of 1,564 for the driver and 1,952 for the front-seat passenger. The Club Wagon scored 2,613 for the driver and 1,896 for the passenger. Chest injury scores were 60 for the Trooper's driver Report predicts warmer East Coast HALIFAX (CP) — Atlantic Canada will be a different place in 50 years — warmer, drier and maybe even richer, says a federally com- missioned report on climate change. While some coastal communities could be devastated by higher tides and drier days, others will benefit from longer summers and more tourists, says the report prepared for Environment Canada by Dalhousie University. It won't all happen at once, cautions co-author Peter Stokoe, a scientist at the Halifax university's school for resource and environmen- tal studies. “People will start noticing more ex- treme conditions becoming more common.’” The document predicts pollution will contribute to a rise in the region’s average temperature of four Celsius degrees. Average water temperature will also increase, up to three degrees, and the sea level will rise about one metre. The warmer temperatures will mean milder winters, longer springs — up to three weeks longer — more heatwaves and slightly less rain, There will be fewer fish and less fresh water in the Maritimes — but more people. The study, based on observations by experts using pollution rates and the projected ‘‘greenhouse effect’’ on climate, says a more temperate Atlantic Canada will attract more residents and tourists. Currently, the average temperature in the Maritimes is 5 C. Vancouver has the country’s warmest average temperature at 10 C. Ellesmere Island is Canada’s coldest spot, on average, at-17C. The study says tourism’s potential “*presents both an opportunity and a risk’’ for the seaside town of St. An- drews, N.B., where ‘‘protection from the sea will have to be enhanced substantially. An even greater concentration of tourist arrivals in the summer months may compromise the tranquility and serenity of the region, it warns.

Study focuses on insurance claims TORONTO (CP) — The boat-like Mercury Grand Marquis is a winner, the Chevy The results are for insurers to use at their Camaro a loser in a new study of the frequency and Severity of insurance claims in Canada. About 13 million 1987 and 1988 vehicles and in- surance claims were examined in the study by the Vehicle Information Centre of Canada, an insurance industry group. The vehicles were rated in three categories — frequency and severity of collision claims; frequency of personal injuries; and comprehensive, or non- collision claims such as for theft and vandalism. Driver characterisitcs were not considered. in setting , Bob Bailey, the cen- tre’s chairman said. He said the three-part analysis is meant to be more fair and accurate than the current rating system under which vehicle cost is the prime consideration. Rating cars by price doesn’t always reflect repair charges or the frequency of accidents, Bailey said. And cars with safety features such as airbags and anti-lock brakes generally cost more — ‘‘In other wor- ds, features designed to reduce accidents actually in- creased the insurance premiums paid.”” The results of the new study have been published . Ses in a pamphlet called How Cars Measure Up, available to the public. The survey found that in general the larger the vehicle, the less likely occupants are to be injured. It also found high-performance cars are among the worst in all three categories. The Marquis, for example, had among the fewest and least severe collisions, and was among the safest in the personal injury category. The Camaro placed among the worst in the collision category and rated worse than average in per- sonal injuries. Station wagons and vans showed good results all around.
