Six-week ordeal

Telephone soliciting origin-
ated in the 1940s and became
a standard residential sales
tool in the 1950s. Tradition-
ally, newspaper ads are used
to attract the unemployed,
who are then paid low wages
to push products on people
chosen randomly out of the
telephone book.

But companies and char-
ities today can target an area
and buy a telephone list of
consumers in that area, a list

formation such as
income or religious affilia-
tion. 2

They can make those calls
with the aid of a number of
sophisticated dialing ma-
chines,

The most common is the
sequential: dialler, which is
programmed to make 1,000
calls a day. The program-
mer punches in a three-digit
prefix, and the dialler auto-
matically works its way
through subsequent four-di-
git combinations, . including
unlisted and emergency num-
bers.

The consumer is greeted
with a recording that pro-
ceeds to ask questions and
waits for a response to each
or gives the consumer time at
the end of the call to make
arrangements to receive the
service. iy

Don Burdeny, who once
held the machine's Canadian
franchise, estimates there
are at least. 60 sequential
dialers in use in B.C. and
more than 1,000 across Can-
ada.

Another version of the di-
aller has a 20- to 80-number
capacity. And soon to hit the
Canadian market is a Japan-
ese-made device which uses
12 separate lines, makes
12,000 calls a day and has a
call-back capacity.

Burdeny said the $7,000
price of the sequential dialler
is minimal when the adver-
tiser considers how many
people can be reached during
the machine's lifetime.

‘_. VANCOUVER (CP) — They came from all walks of
life to make sire the Salvation Army's Christmas. Day
spread at the Harbor. Light building was the best yet.

Crown prosecutors, doctors’ wives, students, public

and agnostics — about.

j v been a happy tine for
me,” said first-time ‘voliintebr’ Iris Gillard-Tribe; &
40-year-old sttident who arrived to help.

“I could have been sitting down this Christmas with
a family I didn't particularly want to sit down with: So,
instead, I felt if I gave of myself, I could put a bit into my
life. This has been very rewarding.”

“Anglican Hitvey Lever, 68, municipal manager of
Peachland, whd tame to Vancouver for the holidays, said _
he felt it “would be a good Christian service” to give up
eight hours of his Christmas. “It’s a tremendous exper-
fence.” '

Nathan Hamayda, 28, an unemployed logger and
non-churehgoer, sald he was tired of phoney Christmas
commercialism and wanted to help out, even if a single’
full-course dinner would not solve the disadvantaged's
long-term dilemma.

In a bright white room with red concrete floors, the
volunteers dished out about 70 turkeys, 900 kilograms of
potatoes, 600 kilograins of peas and carrots, 400 litres of
tomato juice, 400 litres of coffee (all pre-mixed with
cream and sugar), 200 litres of tea, 600 pies (raisin,
mincemeat, chocolate cream, banana cream and pumpkin)
and 120 kilograms of cake.

. Much of the food was donated, or sold to the Sal-
vation Army at bargain-basement prices, said Brigadier

Tom Smith. :
HANDED OUT BAGS .

He said the volunteers were tremendously efficient
at rushing the pre-cooked food to the tables, and handing
out bags of socks and fruit.

“It was a well- d piece of ‘y,” he
beamed, adding that about 400 more diners than in 1982
were fed.

He said that young people have become the majority
among the ragged crowd that takes advantage of the
dinner,

“Years ago, it used to be mostly older people that
lived down here. But now there's more people in their
20s. They're just not able to get jobs.” q

After the 10th and final sitting within six hours,
bearded Walter Dayn, 68, said he liked the gospel music
all the diners listen to as they wait for their turn at
dinner, And the meal, ite said, was “just dandy.”

month, because “I spend my pension and then I'm broke.”

As the paper tablecloth was ripped off and the
volunteers prepared to close, Dayn offered his unfinished
tomato juice, then grabbed the paper plates in front of
him and shoved them in his plastic shopping bag.

He clutched the slice of fruitcake he had not eaten,
wrapped it in a napkin and carefully placed it in the
‘pocket of his tattered blue coat. i

“It's going to be a tough winter,” he said.

PWA stays

CALGARY (CP) — Pacific Western Airlines, which
built its prosperity on the growth of western Canadian
economic fortunes, has stayed profitable despite the decline
in air travel.

Although operating revenues are down as fewer
westerners hop aboard the company’s blue and silver jets,
operating income and net profits rose the first nine months
of this year compared to 1982.

airline's team-management system. of

PWA president Rhys Tudor Eyton said in an interview that
except for a small loss in 1970 PWA has been in the black for
20 years.

Revenues have dropped steadily the last two years but
PWA stayed ahead by trimming flights and cutting staff to
about 2,950 from 3,650 two years ago.

The company also wrote down the value of two new
Boeing 767 jets — worth $60 million each — by $15 million
because the oil price decline meant cost savings on the fuel-

Sheriffs to go private?

VANCOUVER (CP) — The

there is a labor union in this

The report, which took
three years, says there is a
need to separate government,

duties undertaken by private
enterprise, says a report
prepared for the British Col-
umbia Law Reform Commis-
sion.

A return to the old system
of “entrepreneurial” sheriffs,
abolished in British Columbia
in 1974 but still used in Eng-
land, would be both economi-
cal and efficient, the report

says.

Lawyer Gordon Turriff,
the report's co-author, says
the present system in which
sheriff's deputies are answer-
able to the attorney general
poses a threat to judicial in-
dependence.

Arguing that all court offi-
cers should be answerable
directly to the judges, Turiff,
proposes a new system in
which the deputies’ court du-
ties would be administered
by a judges’ council.

“Tied to this recommenda-
tion is the, proposal that the
council consider whether it
would not be desirable to
return to the system of ‘fees’
sheriffs in B.C.,” said Turriff
and Elizabeth Edinger.

“It's a warning sign of the
