Expansion of Operations Overdue Says New Colcel Pres. Ron Gross Columbia Cellulose's inter- ior operations consisting of the Celgar pulp and lumber divi- sions are “overdue for expan- sion as a iatter of natural growth”, This is the acknowledg- ment of the company's new president, Ron Gross, in. an interview with a Vancouver newspaper published last Sat- urday. Mr. Gross told the Vanc- ouver Sun the company's Castlegar operations have al- ways made money, although the exact amount has yet to be worked out. The 39-year-old forestry executive said that at-the time the company's operations here should have been expanded (in the 1960's), “the company hada need for all available capital up north” for its money-losing Prince Rupert operation. “Then this was followed by the market slump. Every bit of capital generated internally went up north." Mr. Gross said changes, including improved earnings, would not be happening over- night. “This isa long-term, cash flow business. We have to look © at averages of 10 years, and because of the cyclical nature of the business, earnings can only be evaluated on a long-term average.”
