HÏGHWATER What combination of events brought Space Research Corporation and its subsidiaries to the brink of financial disaster9 Probably the single most devastating National jobless rate up OTTAWA (CP) — The number of Canadians who failed to find jobs in July dropped for the fourth consecutive month to 793,000.The June figure was 798.000 The national unemployment rate, adjusted to take into account normal seasonal variations, was 7.2 per cent last month compared with 7.5 per cent in June Monthly figures released by the government today show the seasonally-adjusted jobless rate, the normal measure of the seriousness of unem ployment.at its lowest level in almost three years The last time the unem ployment rate fell below 7.5 per cent of the labor force was in September.1976 Young people continued to shoulder the largest burden of unemployment last month The rate for men in the 15-to-24 age bracket was 119 per cent For women in the same age group, the rate was 12 7 per cent The numbers with jobs increased last month to 10 8 million from 10 6 million in June Persistent regional problems con tinue to plague the country Newfoundland, traditionally the hardest-hit by unemployment, had a July rate of 14 4 per cent The province with the lowest rate was Alberta with 3 6 per cent Monthly figures from Statistics Canada showed 63 per cent of the population is either working or seeking work This is exactly the same as one year earlier The federal agency said there were 131.000 students who unsuccessfully sought summer jobs in July This put the unemployment level among students planning to return to school in See JOBS.Page 2 blow nearly two years ago was the accusation by Rhodesian guerrilla leader Joshua Nkomo that the firm was smuggling small arms to Rhode sia It wasn't true.Space Research Corp doesn't manufacture either small arms or ammunition for them The smallest calibre of shell produced is 105 mm.which is fired from a fairly large wheel-mounted weapon But the accusation set off a chain of events which led to the discovery that SRC-produced munitions and SRC technology was probably' being used in South Africa On both sides of the border, authorities set about to prove SRC's involvement, since any trade between either the Canadian or American branches of the firm and South Africa or any other unapproved nation would he in violation of various export control laws On the U S side, where most of SRC's work involved aviation electronics, a Vermont Grand jury was pre sented with the evidence, much of it the result of RCMP seizures and

survey on home ownership supports critics' claims that the government proposal for mortgage interest deductibility will primarily benefit the well to-do The average annual income of homeowners with mortgages is more than $22.(KM), the federal statistics gathering agency says in a special survey based on information gathered in the spring of 1977 More than two years later, the average annual income of Canadians is $14,820.Statistics Canada had originally planned to release the mortgage and home-ownership information in a broader publication next year But it decided on an early release of a special report “in response to the urgent demand for up-to-date information on home* ownership and mortgages ’’ A key Conservative campaign promise was to make mortgage interest and property taxes deductible from taxable income The proposal, to be phased in over four years, would allow deductions of up to $5,000 in mortgage interest payments and $1,000 in property tax Political opponents said the plan would help the rich and do nothing for the poor The Statistics Canada survey, based on information from 13,000 families and unattached individuals, showed that only 24 9 per cent of homeowners earned $10,000 or less a year and 40 8 per cent earned less than $15.000 annually Pepin: PM^s option inadequate MONTREAL (('P> If Prime Minister Joe Clark doesn't stiffen his stand on constitutional reform, he may be forced to shift the responsibhty to Quebec Liberal Leader Claude Ryan, says Jean Luc Pepin, former chairman of the task force on Canadian unity Pepin.Liberal MP for

daily I^e Devoir — often singled out to lead the campaign against the Parti Quebecois’s proposals for sovereignty association Pepin said ('lark should expand his horizons on federal provincial rela tions as well as constitutional reform hut added he felt the Conservative leader may not be ready, and may never be ready, to tackle the problems If the prime minister doesn't soon elaborate his very unsubstantial positions on these topics, he may soon have to admit he is out of the race Pepin also recommended that Clark establish some form of cohesion within the Conservative party if he wants to provide adequate leadership in the upcoming referendum debate “His refusal of auto détermination in Quebec, his declaration of provincial exclusivity on natural resources, are not very clear.” Pepin added, pointing out that the positions Clark has taken to date have not been well received Pepin attributes the Conservative party’s victory in the last federal election to a need for change The Conservative party is dealing with a confused population who doesn’t know what to choose, and their actions reflect this attitude Meanwhile.Prime Minister Clark is making desperate efforts to look as if he’s confident about something” 2 — THE SHERBROOKE RECORD — TUES., AL'G.14.IK# Labor: Bell workers walk off jobs Weeks of walkouts and lockouts in the labor dispute between Bell Canada and its

national unity.A spokesman for the distributors said the brief is in response to a recent federal government move to turn the lottery over to the provinces by the end of this month The brief proposes

reconsider their strategy Lengthy negotiations ahead WASHINGTON AP) Canada and the United States face many months of difficult negotiations before they can sign an agreement to deal with air pollution induced acid rains falling on both countries, diplomats from both sides said Monday The negotiations are complicated because neither country wants to commit itself to stricter air pollution standards that might hamper economic growth and because not enough is known about the phenomenon of acid rain The problem occurs when quantities of sulfur and nitrogen oxides, spewed from factory and power plant chimneys, fall with the rain on lakes and forests hundreds of kilometres away \ JOBS, ontinued from Page 1.the fall at 11.9 per cent The corresponding 1978 monthly figure was 15 2 per cent Although Canada’s unemployment situation has been steadily improving this year, its rate last month of 7.2 per cent remained well above the 5.7-percent July unemployment rate reported in the United States Canada and the United States both have considerably larger unem ployment rates than most nations of Western Europe which have been reporting about five-per-cent unemployment this year Japan has reported about two-per- cent unemployment However, these countries keep their unemployment rates artificially low by giving workers long paid vacations during slack periods and by bringing in temporary immigrant labor during peak work periods l^ast month’s total of 10 8 million working Canadians was the largest ever recorded During the preceding year, 367,000 new jobs were created NUMBERS GROW At the same time, the working age population has been growing almost as quickly as the number of new jobs, keeping the unemployment rate above seven per cent Today’s good news about the job situation comes in an atmosphere of increasing gloom about the economy.The Conference Board in Canada, an influential private economic fore casting organization predicted Monday that the year end unemployment rate will be 7 9 per cent and this will in crease to 8 2 per cent next year The worsening of economic prospects will follow the decline which has already become evident in the U S

Rabin memoirs call Peres poor leader JERUSALEM ( AP » Former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin’s memoirs have shaken Israel's Labor party with charges that party leader Shimon Peres is a political scoundrel unfit to govern the country When the two men served together in the last Labor government in 1974-77, it became common knowledge that Rabin and Peres, the defence minister, did not get along Peres tried twice without success to unseat Rabin as party leader He finally took over Labor’s helm when Rabin was forced to resign the party leadership in April.1977.after he and his wife admitted to having had an illegal bank accour* in Washington Labor lost the May.1977.election to Menachem Begin s Likud bloc, and Rabin quietly took a back bench in parliament while Peres led the party and the pa

reported details from future excerpts dealing with Peres Rabin’s assertions that Peres leaked secrets putting Rabin in a bad light, that the defence minister was in decisive during the Entebbe hijack

first credit union for women the Metro Toronto Women’s ( redit Union is growing Four years since its inception, the credit union has over $700,000 in assets and has 1.700 members Pat Mackay, educational director for the union which prides itself on tearing down what she calls the discriminatory practices of traditional financial in stitutions towards women, said in an interview that it hopes to expand to include older women on fixed incomes “As yet.we haven t developed anything specific for this problem group, she says, “but all of our policies are directed to women who don’t have a

women aged65 and over who were single, divorced or widowed had incomes below $4,000 a year WOMEN HOOKER The Metro Women’s ( redit Union began with the recognition that women as a group are poorer than men “They are paid less than men.” says Ms Mackay, “and have less access to funds.” Former bank branch manager Anna O'Donnell now manages the credit union with three full time staff persoas and several part time trainees The majority of women members participate in a savings pledge plan which Ms Mackay says increases the credit union's services and makes more money available for women’s needs To achieve this, members are asked to send batches of postdated cheques for regular deposit into their savings accounts which in turn earn them inter est while putting the money to work towards the prosperity of the union NO MORTGAGE MIAN'S Although the practice of lending social notes mortgage money or loans for setting up small businesses has been curtailed by the credit union.Ms Mackay says that up to $7.000 in personal loans have been made to individual women for a whole variety of reasons She says that even though women are beginning to be recognized as good financial risks, “there are still a pile of bad stories “We are still working for fairer credit legislation as it applies to women, she says Rut another important aspect is to educate women in how to make money work for them One new project that she says is (Quebec's LLSLs working well is the introduction of accounts for children Some mothers deposit babybonus cheques or birthday and holiday money in their children’s accounts.’’ she says Kids can deposit and withdraw money and receive a special savings passbook It teaches them how to handle money at an early age particularly important with young girls "

says that plans are afoot to form one in Ottawa from an established tenants’ group but she is mystified that others haven't sprung up elsewhere in Canada She admits that there had been a few instances of “bad debts'' but in the majority of cases it has been dealt with through counselling “Sometimes misfortune such as a divorce or loss of a job can lead women into financial disaster “We aren’t only
