...million in June 1958), and overall exports were up to a one-month record of $519.9 million. Canada's index of industrial production is up 7% over last year, and industrial capital investment is now expected to reach $8,545,000,000 by year's end-2.7% higher than Ottawa forecast at the beginning of the year. The economy of Canada, along with that of the U.S. (see BUSINESS), has climbed out of the recession and is running off toward new records...
...tree line-roughly the climatic boundary where the July temperature averages no more than 50°. But the January mean in Whitehorse is 8° warmer than Winnipeg's, 750 miles to the south; Fort Smith's all-time high of 103° is 1° higher than New Orleans'. The annual snowfall at Resolute (latitude 75° N.) is less than Boston's. The summers are brief but bright, and on the North's few tilled acres, the warming sun, shining 20 hours a day, produces dahlias as big as dinner plates, carrots...

Almost daily, ways are found to give bigger radiation doses more safely to hard-to-reach parts of the body. Examples: cobalt-60 "bombs," a new cesium-137 unit at M. D. Anderson Hospital, higher-powered X-ray machines and linear-particle accelerators, ingeniously refined ways of implanting radioisotopes such as iridium 192 and yttrium 90 in tumors...

After the drop they see a rise in output to an even higher level. Leading the way will be the 1960 auto model year that begins in October, and a capital-goods boom that is expected to run at the annual rate of $34 billion by the last quarter of this year...
