Statistics Canada also said the coun: try’s current deficit, measuring Canada’s balance of trade in goods and services with the rest of the world, climbed to $5.7 billion in the second quarter from $3.7 billion in the first quarter The trade deficit is the highest for Canada, surpassing the record deficit of $3.9 billion in the fourth quarter *There were a number of signs in the account previous second quarter suggesting that the economy is entering a period of slower growth,’ Statistics Canada said The figures have been adjusted for seasonal variations. ECONOMY STAGNATES Statistics Canada also said the economy did not grow at all’during June, after expanding by 0.2 per cent in Apriland May Since January, the economy has grown by. a sluggish average monthly rate. The government agency said several factors have slowed the economy, in: cluding a drop in the number of new houses being built, a weakening market for existing homes, a halt in employment growth and a drop in ex ports. Although the economy's gross domestic¢’ product, measuring the country’s total production, grew only slightly from April to June, the demand for new products and services increased at abrisk pace Final domestic demand rose 0.8 per cent in the second quarter **The increase was attributable to a second-quarter pickup in consumer spending, following a small first-quar- ter increase, and to the continuing surge in business outlays on plant and equipment,” Statistics Canada said. The slowing economy has also hurt corporate operating profits, which fell 11.9 per cent in the second quarter, the third drop in the last four quarters PROFITS FALL Operating profits at Canada’s in dustrial $8.4 billion in April, May and June from $9.5 billion in the first three months of 0.1-per-cent corporations fell to the year.

Visionsmart, an Edmonton based company, is developing a computer that uses X-rays to grade construction lumber heading to the shipping yard. The computer is the first of its kind anywhere in the world Klimchuk, a Stanley Humphries secondary school graduate, found the project ‘ta challenge technically and in many other mat ters."" He said the computer can speed up production as well as producing optimum results for the company lumber Supercomputer lumber “Three or four graders can han dle 15 boards per minute,’’ says Klimchuk, ‘But the computer can grade two boardsasecond.”” Visionsmart president Dan Kenway says the computer can help with the tedious day-after-day task of grading the wood “Over time this will benefit operations tremendously,”’ he said. The computer spots a defect in the board and returns it to the saw with instructions on the needed corrections “If you allow for a three-per cent margin of error by graders at a mill that produces $30 million wor- th of lumber a year that works out to $1 million in savings from the computer,”’ Kenway said Human graders will’ still be required to spot the boards that the computer fails to catch but their workload will be lightened, he said “It makes better use of the less tideous for the graders and gets more use out of the same lumber,"” Kenway added wood, it's Gray, Tamelin Bileen Tamelin, daughter of Mr organist. honor and Melanie Majendie, ushers. pearls. many layers of netting in pearls and white ribbon roses white flowers and pearl spray tulle. der covered in lace The sleeves were short, full, filled with netting and surrounded by white ribbon roses and pearl spray.
