Indian trappers here..have re- ceived the glad news that the bounty on raccoons will be raised to five dollars on April 1st and Mr. Peter Sltully. who resides at the Indian reserve in Morell tells us the river is alive with 'coons and the woods full of foxes. No doubt with the increase in Ibounty the boys will make an extra ef-

By Last Year's Economies

0'l'1'AWA (CP) - Farmers and factories took the biggest beating last year in Canada's economic de- veldpments. Fat-mera' net,earaings dropped by 30 per cent. corporg. tine profits by seven per cent.

But consumers came to the eco- norny's rescue by boosting spend. log to an all-time high in cash and credit d is .

ea . World"! My loomed lar er than ever as a major factor in e coun- try's economic health. labor in- come growing from 50 per cent of the country's total income in 1051 to 65 per cent in 1064-highest in It yam.

Unemployment increased. Per- sons without jobs and seeking work rose to an average of M1000 in 1054 from 137.000 in 1958.

This sum-up of the state of Can- ada'a prosperity in 1054 was out- lined in Finance Minister Harrls' white paper tabled in the Com-

mons today. PRODUCTION VALUE FALLS Mostly because of the prairie crop failure and production de- clines in some factories. the gross national product - value of all goods and services produced-fell to 523.905.000.000. down 8431.000.- 000 from the 1053 peak of

Investment income dropped two per cent to , 33.700.000.000 from 53.775.000.00. Mr. Harris esti- mated the major cause was a re- duction of seven per cent in car- poration profits.

Corporation profits left after taxes dropped to 51.246.000.000 from 51.361.000.000 in 1953. The de- cline in corporation income taxes was one cause of the government's budgetary deficit of st-i8.251.000 in the 1954-56 fiscal year.

On the brighter side. consumers -using earnings and some savings -boosted spending to a record 515.581.000.000. up three per cent from 315.115.000.000 in 1953. SPENDING ABOUT SAME
