OTTAWA (CP) — The.
Conference Board in
Canada predicted Thursday
that the national economy
will show strong growth of
about 5% per. cent in 1978
after a sluggish 1977° in
which the gross national

product (GNP) Is forecast to -
expand by three per cent.

The privately financed
economic research group’s
forecast contrasted with an
earlier report it released
Thursday stating
consumers are pessimistic
about the economic outlook
and planned to restrain their

spending, at least for the —

next six months,

Taking a longer view, the
