The bulk of this increase was in oil which meets 44 per cent of the country's energy needs. 1 iv' iiiil Also tee Page A2 The result of Clark's commitment, given in his closing statement at the two-day economic summit conference here, is that oil imports will be reduced by 50,000 barrels a day in 1985.

Energy officials had projected the country would need to import 650,000 barrels a day by that time. Clark's summit pledge means only 600,000 barrels a day will be imported. Clark, the last of the seven national leaders to speak at the joint news conference which concluded the 1373 economic conference said: "I am firmly determined to keep our oil imports at the lowest possible level. "We will accomplish this objective through our energy conservation program, by substituting alternative sources of energy for oil and by developing our own conventional energy sources as rapidly as possible." His statement was given half in English and half in French. Clark was the only one of the seven summit leaders who gave his statement in more than one language.

Clark stressed, as he had repeatedly done during the summit, that Canada could not agree to an import freeze extending past the end of 1380 because the country expects to face a sharp decline in conventional oil production between 1380 and 1985. However, he added that he was convinced that Canadians could be persuaded to reduce their energy consumption sufficiently to allow him to pledge to keep imports below their expected level during that difficult five-year period. Clark said to Canadians back home: "Working together I am con-viced all Canadians will work and achieve the goals which we have established here of moving toward energy self-sufficiency." He told other summit leaders he recognizes Canada's fortunate position as one of the privileged nations with abundant energy resources. The Clark government is committed to an objective of making the country self sufficient in energy by 1990. Herald photo by Richard Pitman OTTAWA (CP) The government has started plans for an economic strategy to provide more rapid increases in domestic oil prices while minimizing any inflationary impact on the economy.

The need to speed the rate of increases to bring domestic prices closer to world levels has been heightened by the new world prices agreed to buy the oil exporting nations in Geneva Energy Minister Ray Hnatyshyn said after a cabinet meeting Thursday that the 24 per cent to 62 per cent increase declared by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries was disappointing but not surprising. 'Close the gap' Hnatyshyn confirmed in an interview the government has already begun studying ways to "close the gap" between the domestic price of $13.75 US. a barrel effective Sunday, and the new world price of between $18 U.S. and $23.50 U.S. a barrel Economic Development Minister Robert de Cotret conceded that domestic oil price increses higher than the present rate of $1 a barrel every six months will fuel inflation The government is worried about the drain on the federal treasury caused by the billion-dollar-plus figure it now is pouring into the oil import compensation program.

The program is used by Ottawa to pay oil companies the difference between the domestic price and the would price for imports brought into Eastern Canada. The federal subsidy means that Canadians pay only about two thirds of world oil prices. But with the new world price up to $10 a barrel higher than the domestic rate, the government cannot afford to keep paying the difference.

She's about to take off on a long-dreamed-of trip this weekend. To Disneyland? Or Hawaii? Nope. To Moose Jaw. And she's going to meet the mayor, and ride in a parade, and be honorary deputy mayor of the Saskatchewan city.

And, no doubt, she's going to visit the ducks in Crescent Park. It all started a few weeks ago when the Andrew Sibbald Elementary School second-grader and other classmates were asked a question of the week for a Cochrane Times feature: "If you were a bird, where would you fly?" Their pictures and answers Spray-painting grads vandalize schools appeared in the paper a week later. One said Disneyland, another Hawaii. Mary said Moose law. The word got back to the city of 33,000 and a two-day, expenses-paid visit was arranged for Mary and her mother, Linda They'll fly there tonight and stay in a new motel.

Mary will be named honorary deputy mayor for a day on Saturday. See Page A2 By Jack Spearman (Herald staff writer) You don't need a 17-year-old at home to know it's graduation time at Calgary high schools. Chances are you can read about it in every color of aerosol paint made on the walls of schools, bus shelters and other public buildings as the annual spray-paint graffiti season climaxes for another year. The attacks are expensive to erase, often offensive, often profane and do nothing to promote the idea that high school graduates, after 12 years of publicly funded education, are close to adulthood. School and police officials are quick to emphasize the vandalism is the work of a handful of students and that the acts are frowned upon new rules One soft drink industry spokesman reacted to the announced federal regulations by saying that about $20 million worth of pop and $30 million worth of bottles will have to be junked.

The 1. 5-litre bottles have a 20-per-cent share of the soft drink market. He said the regulations will also prompt beer and wine bottlers to re-examine their designs, although the department had not received any complaints about those products. -X a 4Dr-'K CALGARY FORECAST: Showers.

There's not much that can be done to stop the attacks, which usually cost between $300 to $500 to scrub off or paint over. "We're anticipating a bill of up to $6,000 this year on spray paint we've got private security firms patrolling the schools after midnight. But all the kids do is wait until they go and then they're at it," said Roy Hetherington, supervisor of maintenance for the Calgary Board of Education.

Spray paint on porous concrete and brick the most common wall building materials in city high schools is especially difficult to remove because the paint is absorbed, he added. On brick or concrete, about the best caretakers can do is try to match the color and paint over the graffiti. "I think it '8 worse than last year but then it seems to come and go in waves. It also seems to me that it's been done longer this year than last." said Bob Pulleyblank, principal of Western Canada High School He said his school has had the initials of Viscount Bennett and Henry Wise Wood sxhools sprayed on along with what appears to be the work of some of his own students. Virtually every high school and many junior highs have been spray painted this year.

And Hetherington says an elementary school was also hit several weeks ago. "That's the first time it's gone down that low."

Herald tests of bottles purchased in Calgary earlier this week showed that 1.5-litre, 750-millilitre and 26-ounce bottles can explode when merely tipped over. Twenty-five out of 30 bottles tested by The Herald exploded when tipped on tile-covered concrete and bare concrete floors. OTTAWA (CP) The government moved Thursday to eliminate the hazard of exploding 1.5-litre soft drink bottles as retailers hurried to clear their shelves of the product and consumers threatened lawsuits for injuries from flying glass.

Consumer Affairs Minister Allan Lawrence said regulations forcing manufacturers to comply with new design standards for the bottles will be enacted by the end of the summer.
