His contribution to Japan's economy makes him one of only two foreigners to be bestowed with the Second Order Medal of the Sacred Treasure by Emperor Hiro- hito, , In Vancouver. last week, Deming pushed his message to executives from corpor- ations such as MacMillan Bloedel, CP Air and B.C. Table potatoes aren't for planting Home gardeners should not plant in their gardens table potatoes at a grocery store. Certified seed potatoes ‘must be used instead, These are available at most outlets which sell plants and garden supplies. Dave Ormrod, plant path- ologist at the Ministry. of Agriculture and Food office at Cloverdale says some gar- deners might be‘tempted. to use table potatoes because of a shortage and high prices of ‘40 certified seed. potatoes in SHIPPER NOTICE .

LIVING IN NEW AGE “We are living in a new economic age,” he said flatly, shuffling around the room. “We can no longer live'in a climate where things are shoddy. Thirty per cent of manufacturer's price covers waste and inefficiency.” He ‘admonished _ partici- pants: “Don't just blame the workers, don’t just blame the raw materials, The whole system needs overhauling. “Too many companies are more concerned about quar- terly dividends than being in business 10 years from now. Have faith that there is a fu- ture.” In 1950, Deming was in- vited to.Japan to teach his techniques for statistical an- alysis of quality control. His methods have created an en- vironment. where workers know what they do, why they are doing it and where they are rewarded for doing it well, Borrowing the world’s best business concepts, Japan has forged a managerial philos- ophy that holds that man- ufacuring errors are avoid- able. Many other companies work on the notion they are inevitable. Deming's message is sim- ple: use proper statistics to count the defects, examine each, find the root, of the problem, make the correc- tions and chart the progress. He says 15 per cent of the problems can be blamed on the individual workers or tools, but the balance rests with a faulty production system, a management res- ponsibility. , Some participants in the seminar say that while they. were fired with Deming’s zeal, they wonder how they can persuade senior manage- ment to_change the system. “I can see a lot of people changing jobs,” one man said. Deming is more optimistic.

It has a body of pale blue, silver chrome you can-see yourself in, and yellow spoked wheels with -authentic narrow. rubber tires. Greg found the rusted, dilapadated body in a barn. “When I got it it was pretty. rough.” But to Greg’s eyes that hunk of metal had definite ‘promise. So he went right through the car stripping it down to nothing and putting it back together again. He took apart the engine and rebuilt it. He ordered the rubber tires from-a place in California which manu- factures Firestone tires using the original mould. He upholstered it in genuine leather, painted it, repaired and re-installed the original “accessory stone guard” and installed a “wolf whistle” which is “the kind of thing you could buy ack then and put on your car.” , Greg took me for a drive in it on his 10 acres, and I noticed that it registeres a mere 2042 miles on the rebuilt” engine. Greg says that it gets 22 miles per gallon and clips. . along at a comfortable ‘pace, of of 60 miles per hour. ‘He hag had this ear for about six 3 ‘years, and enters it annually in the Sunflower parade. He will be taking it to Kelowna for a show at the end of the’ month, I found out that an antique car restorer, such as _ Greg, scrounges for parts and “what you can't find you ‘make. I travelled many back roads on wild goose chases after parts. People tell you, ‘I know of a place where there's this old car’ and you go chasing after it, and by the time, you’ get there you're lucky if you find a fender.” Greg ‘showed me another of his prizes, ‘covered by a tarp in a barn. Unc it I saw a fully hed 1928 + Chevrolet Touring car. “This is the first ‘car I ever restored,” he said... “This car has a sentimental history..T'll never part with this one. This car has been in the family since 1935." GREG SAHLSTROM: Being a mechanic just grew out of his interest in old cars. “LINDA HALL Getting to Know Your Neighbor Greg Sahlstrom: » but goodies His dad bought it, brought it home and immediately * chopped it off into a truck and used it around the farm for hauling hay and manure. “He wore out a couple of little » sh ¢piick decks, he tied {t for years. “Then my brother used it > for'x station wagon, It was'a real basket case." It ended = ~~ ‘up sitting ramshackled in a shed for 10 years before Greg decided that it deserved some glory and attention in its old-age: He went to work on it. Beside this bright yellow Chevy is an old broken down rusted shell of a car. The upholstery is gray, dusty and torn, and the stuffing looks the perfect place for a family of mice. I learned that this 1990 Packard is Greg's _ Mext project. This one is a rare car, one well worth repairing, the “Cadillac” of cars back then. “A great big massive deluxe car that only the rich people owned.” In its day a Model A would run you about $900, the cheapest Packard on the other hand. would cost more than $3,000. - “I read somewhere,” he continued, “that in 1929 you could _buy five Model A’s for the price of the cheapest Packard.” ‘ 1928 Chevrolet touring cor Greg also has some antiuge cars of a newer era as well, an era more of us will remember. A.’56 Ford sits in his garage fully restored, and in anothersgarage, is a half- -primed, ready to be painted, '57 Studebaker Golden “Hawk. “This is ‘a very interesting car,” he sald, “It is a genuine Golden Hawk, factory equipped with a supercharger. In 1957 it was the fastest thing on the road, The’ speedmeter goes to 160.” T asked Greg about the value of his vintage cars and he refused to put,a price tag on them. “The' value of an antique car is the value of the finished product.” He says that some people, upon hearing what antique cars are selling for, try to put high prices “on the pile. of junk in their backyard.” But it’s the finished product alone which is worth the money. After the craftsmanihas re- upholstered, painted, and rebuilt the engine then the car is worth something. Greg is the president of the Vintage Car Club in town a group of ‘about 30 antique car enthusiasts. Anybody interested in old cars can be a part of the club, “you don’t have to have an old car to join.” Each year,the club enters some of their oldies in the Sunflower Parade. I was curious about licencing and insurance and found out that in order to qualify as an antique, a car must be 80 years old, then it can be licenced with the cheaper vintage plates if the owner just plans on driving it ‘in parades, displays or “club-sanctioned events.” Insurance too, is cheaper. ‘ 3 His 1928 touring car was a.‘basket case’ ’ but he felt it deserved some glory and attention. Grey says that interest in vintage cars in Castlegar is “growing,” but restoring an old car is getting more difficult as prices go up and parts and car bodies become scarcer. “It’s getting to be a real expensive hobby.” Greg was born and raised in Castlegar and grew up . on the same acreage that he is now raising his own family. Greg and his wife Yvonne have two children; Brenda 18, and Jason 11, They maintain a little “hobby farm” on their land, with three horses and “cows and a couple of calves.” He says he was “always interested in cars" and becoming a mechanic just grew out of this interest. Currently he manages the Castlegar Co-Op Gas Station where he has worked for 21 years. “To be a good mechanic,” he says, “you have to learn how to diagnose a problem and you have to know how to fix almost anything that's handed to you.” He says that his service station is different from others because as a Co-op, it is owned by its members. He employs nine besides himself and he “guarantees honest work,” he told me. The all attend the F 1 Church in town, something which is very important to Greg. He says he is happy that his “whole family fs serving the Lord. I thank the Lord for giving me all the things He has, a full and happy life, and a super family.” Besides old cars, Greg enjoys the outdoors. He fishes, camps, backpacks, and rides his horses, and was ' part of ‘a Horsemen's Club a few years ago. But usually his time now is spent on one or two of his old cars, and a tiny plaque on the dashboard of his 28 Chev, sums it up: “The difference between the men and the boys is the price of their toys.”
