“I get angry every time I

“get asked ‘will.the CFL sur-

vive in Calgary?’ ™ he said in
an interview.

Mitchell admits owners in
the league are concerned
about the Stampeders.

“The league relies on the
operation of nine franchises
to be successful, (but) I don’t
see (Calgary) as an issue. It's
not a case that if something
doesn't happen in the next
five (home) games they'll be
out of business.”

He concedes the plight of
professional ‘football in Cal-
gary is a concern. The Stam-
peders have lost half a million
dollars in less than half a sea-
son and have shown no signs
of recovery.

There are also problems in
Hamilton and Ottawa, but

those two cities is different
than in Calgary.

lawyer Kevin Sproule is on
the lookout for hockey talent,
but only if it has a distinctly
Swiss flavor.

Sproule, 30, serves as a
part-time adviser to Alten, a
Swiss First Division hockey
club, when he’s not practising
civil -litigation in Stettler,
Alta., 120 kilometres south-
east of Edmonton.

Mitchell said the situation in:

“I know the: owners oat
those teams (Allan Watters.
andHarold Ballard) have a

problem in Calgary is there is
no one to bankroll the team,
no Mr. Ballard, no Mr. Wat-
ters.”

Mitchell believes the Stam-
peders will survive.

“When you see their atten-
dance figures you have to be
concerned. But I still believe
Calgary is a football town.
The interest is there.

“The people I have spoken
to want football, but they
want to be entertained.”

Everything that could
have gone wrong has gone
wrong in Calgary, he said.

But a combination of
proper marketing and im-
provement in on-field perfor-
marice can reverse the down-
ward spiral.

“The off-season will be the
key time for them,” Mitchell
said. “The interest is there.

Production

record set at
Westar mill

Westhr Timber’s Southern Wood Products mill set new

production records this week.

The mill cut 464,000 board feet of white pine — “about

15 to 20 per cent better than it's ever cut,”
supervisor Wade Zammit.

Zammit explained that

said production

the record was. especially

significant because the mill cut all one-inch board instead of

two-inch dimension lumber.

“You have twice as many pieces to deal with,” he said:
_Zammit said 65,000 pieces of wood went through the

mill's sorter on-Thurkday in a 16-hour period.

The mill finished cutting white pine this week:

The production record is all part of Westar ‘Timber's
improved performance at both the Celgar pulp mill and the
Southern Wood Products mill,

In the company's August newsletter, president Sandy
Fulton points out that pulp sales from Celgar nearly doubled
in the first-six months of this year compared to the first half

of 1984.

Ass well, lumber sold from the company’s five sawmills
increased by 19 per cent in the first sie months of 1985 to 317

million board feet.

“There are several reasons for these big increases,” said
Fulton. “By far the most important is the enormous jump in
productivity at e.ery one of our operations.”

Fulton cited Southern Wood Products’ record lumber

recovery during June.

“The previous month, it set records for two-shift
production, lumber recovery, volume dried and man-day

production,” Fulton said.

Celgar Pulp also set new production levels.

“Since last year, productivity has jumped by nine per

cent while total production costs per tonne have been

reduced,” he said. “Both

May and June were -recor

production months and the mill is now trying for a record for

1985."

Weekend Wrap-Up

Celgar Pulp also was named the safest pulp mill in the

province during the second quarter, Fulton noted.

However, Fulton's newsletter also contained some

words of caution. He said the lumber markets in the U.S.
improved early in the summer with strong demand and
higher prices for dimension products.

However, the market has since cooled off, Fulton said,

and prices have fallen in the last several weeks.

“Prices are not expected to rebound in coming months

but we feel that demand is strong enough to keep our mills
operating flat out,” he added.

Meanwhile, Fulton said the pulp market remains soft,

with the future “somewhat uncertain.” However, pulp prices.
may have stabilized.

“It appears that pulp prices may, have stopped falling,”

he said.

He added that the slight improvement. is due almost

entirely to. reduction in inventory levels worldwide.

“Further reductions are expected later this year which

could mean additional firming up in the mar
