The need for higher productivity to support higher wage Levels and thus offset out migration of workers lured by better salaries elsewhere continues to be a bugbear in Manitoba. The Board s report predicts that the emphasis on higher productivity will remain with the province for some time to come tied in As it is with the need for Relief for the provincial and municipal governments in the Field of education health and welfare the three areas that underwrite higher productivity employment. A number of other areas for concern Are touched upon by the authors of the 110-Page report and these include the need for a More just allocation of National resources to develop effective programs to Aid the economically and socially handicapped particularly the Indian population. Steps to accommodate the accelerating exodus of the popu lation from Rural areas to the cities which necessarily involve Large expenditures to prepare for alternative employment. Steps to Spur Northern development and to relieve the increasing tax burdens on the real p property taxpayer. But taken on the whole the Board expresses optimism about Manitoba economic performance and supports its belief with a mass of details on the various economic indicators. Employment Rose Here at a faster rate in 1967 than in Canada and the improvement primarily reflected the fact that while employment in manufacturing and particularly construction moved up in Mani Toba the Over All Canadian average declined in these Sec tors. Manitoba s average wage level moved up faster in 1967 than in the two highest wage provinces Ontario and British Columbia and combined with this the increase in the Cost of living Rose More slowly Here than in the rest of the country. Manitoba s fixed capital assets increased by nearly million in 1967 a 12 per cent Rise Over the previous year. A total of million was spent in Manitoba in 1967 on either the provision of new capital or the maintenance of existing investment. This com pares with million in 1966 and million in 1965. The major part of this investment was in the utilities sector and in contrast with previous years about two thirds of Manitoba s capital expenditures in 1967 were spent on the provision of structures rather than machinery and equipment. The significance Here lies in the fact that a higher proportion of expenditure on Struc Tures is Likely to be made within the province while investment in machinery and equipment would be spent outside the province where the machinery would be manufactured. The changed emphasis reflects the construction associated with the Nelson River Power project. Offsetting this increase spending in the governmental and institutional Centre schools universities hospitals was Only two per cent higher than 1966. This is in contrast to the 40 per cent Rise Between 1966 and 1967. Total capital investment in 1968 is expected to exceed billion about 13 per cent above the 1967 rate. About million of this would be rep resented by expenditures on new capital an increase of 16 per cent from last year s level. In addition to increased in vestment in utilities major increases Are looked for in manufacturing and in the Trade finance and commercial ser vices sectors. The Rise in per capita per Sonal income two per cent higher than the National average is a reversal of the trend in the two previous years Here and is accounted for largely because of High farm incomes through the first six months of 1967 and generally increased employment in construction and manufacturing. Population which had remained virtually unchanged for the previous three years showed signs of a definite increase during 1967 a phenomenon not visible since 1964. The Jan. 1968 total of Manitoban is the highest popu lation figure in Manitoba s history. The value of production in Manitoba s manufacturing Sec Tor in 1967 Rose by two and a half per cent derived for the most part from the durable goods industries. Capital expenditures in manufacturing amounted to Mil lion seven per cent below the previous year s level. Some increase in the value of Industrial output can be sex spy hanged Amman a a jordanian convicted of spying for Israel was hanged. Thursday in the courtyard of Amman Central prison. Petted again in the current year with investment in new Plant and equipment in the manufacturing sector forecast to reach million increase of five per cent. The value of output from mining which had declined marginally in 1966, Rose by nearly 4.5 per cent in 1967 and construction output also Rose by in per cent compared with a 2.5 per cent increase in Canada As a whole. But the Story in the residential sector was different. Housing starts in greater Winnipeg were Down for the fourth consecutive year. Speculative construction which had been the basis for much of Industry s activity has been trimmed to what the Market can Bear now. Agricultural production i n Manitoba was at. Or above record Levels in 1967. But still Farmers incomes fell slightly As a result of weakening in prices received. Coupled with softer prices the persistent increase in costs of production further aggravated the unsatisfactory income Posi Tion of the Industry. The Board cites a number of reasons for the rising production costs in agriculture the most dramatic being the Cost push innovations sweeping the country. Manitoba farm operators along with Farmers throughout Canada Are on the Cost push Treadmill of expanding technology costly the report notes. And More significant in terms of planning is the fact that prices of farm products become increasingly destructive As the absolute level of farm costs Rise. Peace candidate jailed from Saigon up Soutis Viet namese peace campaigner Truong Dinh Dzu was sentenced today to five years hard labor without Appeal in a 90-minute military court hearing for advocating peace talks with the Viet Cong.

School costs May soar continued school operating expenditure at 57 per cent will play the greatest part in determining future costs. By 1975, they will constitute about 68 per cent of excluding capital items. Average teachers salaries projected at an increase rate of about five per cent a year Are expected to Rise to in 1975 from last year. Although two per cent fewer teachers should be needed their salaries Are expected to Cost about million More. Interest payments on debts payments into a sinking fund and some expenditures for fixed physical assets Are expected to continue rising by a total of about a year. This will bring capital expenditures on current account to million in 1975 from million in 1965. Otter operating expenditures include in order of size Plant maintenance transportation instructional supplies administration and sundry items. These Are projected to r i s e to million in 1975 from Mil lion in 1965. Capital expenditures for build Ings and equipment would Rise to about million in 1975 from about million this year. A dramatic transformation has taken place in the last 15 years in Public school enrol ment the report says. While the number of students in Grade i increased by Only about 28 per cent enrolment in each of the secondary grades has More than particularly High rates of 209 per cent for Grade 11 and 619 per cent for Grade 12. The yearly patterns of enrol ment increases in secondary schools had differed substantially from that of elementary schools according to the report. From 1951 to 1961, elementary enrolment increased fairly uniformly by about a year As a result of the increased numbers of children born in the Post War period. On the other hand secondary enrolment increased at an accelerating rate during the same first to in creased school attendance rates and then to the Post War baby Boom. One must consider also the quiet revolution that has taken place As attitudes to the completion of High school and Entrance to universities have changed and More and More Young people have been completing More and More years in the school and University since 1961, increases. In secondary enrolment have been less than those recorded at the Peak but have been greater even in absolute numbers than increases in secondary enrolment. According to the report Indi cations Are that elementary enrolment has nearly reached its Peak and will soon begin to decline. Secondary school enrol ment however is expected to continue to increase although More and More slowly. Total elementary and secondary enrolment should begin to decline at the beginning of the 70 the report projects a Public school enrolment in 1975 of Only .3 per cent less than jl967 s but sees student distribution greatly changed with about seven per cent fewer elementary students about 19 per cent More second Ary students.
