‘Investing i in ihe future

By THE HONORABLE
DON PHILLIPS !
Minister of Industry and |
Small Business Development

I would like to give‘you a
few more words on our {ssu
of B.C. Development Bonds,
the reasoning behind them,
and why they are the best
possible investment . in the’
future of this Province,

Bankers tell us ‘that there
are some $22 billion in per-
sonal savings, held by -th i
people of British Columbia. #
That is a lot of money, and
there is a problem with it, # Bs
from the point of view of DON PHILLIPS
benefit to British Columbia. +++ positive move

Every is i ded to a return, not
only to the investor but also to the organization which
receives the investment. In the past the bulk of that second

income has gone outside our province . . . frequently outside

the country. So the government of British Columbia has now

taken a dramatic, positive move towards taking that’

investment income from the out-of-province investors and
putting it to work to the benefit of all British Columbians.

The positive move, of which I speak, is the introduction
of our government innovative B.C. Development Bonds. And
these bonds will be sold initially. only in British Columbia.

Financial analysts tell me that these new bonds offer
very real advantages over other investment opportunities,
If interest rates continue to decline as many expect, the
market value of these bonds can rise as other investors
become eager to cash in on the foresight of those who will
have the option of ejther holding on to the bonds, and
continuing to receive the above-market interest, or selling
the bonds at a profit.

On the other hand, if interest rates should start to rise
again, the bonds have the option of liquidity and can be
redeemed at face value with a three-month interest penalty,

This development | bond is an example of how
government, -using’a little imagination can help people: to

- help themselves, It is alsoan example of the sort of economic
leadership which puts our, province apart: from. some

provinces in Canada,

I should offer a couple of sobering reminders, to those

Celgar leader in
chip technology

‘The following article is re-
printed from Pulp Digest,
Celgar Pulp Division's em-
ployee newsletter. It was
written by John Eaton, proj-
ect engineer in charge of the
installation of the new chip

screening. system.

Celgar Pulp Division is one
of the first: pulp mills in
North America to take ad-
vantage of brand new chip
screening technology. The
installation of the new sys-
tem was prompted by recent
discoveries regarding the
penetration of cooking liquor
into wood chips and the re-
sulting increased efficiencies
in the cooking pracess. -

Previously, the digesters
accepted chips on the basis of
size — whatever passed
through a screen with two-
inch square holes. The pur-
pose of the new system,
however, is to screen chips

overthick chips to under 9
mm with minimum damage
to the chip fibres.

There are also two addi-
tional major pieces of equip-
ment, the scalper. and the

rock trap, which:protect the:

slicer from mechanical dam-
ae, and pluggage.

‘he main benefits of the
new system will be most
noticeable’ in the’ digesters.
Chips thicker than 9-10 mm
will be rejected by the screen
before they enter the diges-
ter.

This means fewer rejects
from the digesters will be re-

“eyeled back into the screen-

ing system and therefore
more fresh chip feed. The re-
sult is greater efficiency.
Screening the overthick
chips out of the digester feed
would still not be economical
if they had to be burned or
broken up in a conventional

Basically the new chip ey

screening system is compos-
ed of two major pieces of
equipment: a V screen to re-
ject chips over 9 mm thick,
