Joggers Air pollution Jogging in areas where there is a considerable amount of pollution from automobile exhaust will in- crease the amount of carbon monoxide in a person's sys- tem, indicates a study carried out:in Denver, Colo.

VANCOUVER (CP) — Recessionhit retail stores are continuing a trend to move key operations out of B.C., which —.according to experts — is currently the worst retail market in the country because of the ailing forest industry. Eaton's department atore earlier this month consolidated its pi and moving those operations to Toronto. This resulted in the firing of 100 employees in Vancouver, . ~ Eaton's was Following Simpsons Sears Ltd. and the Hudson's Bay Co., both of which earlier moved buying or distribution operations out of B.C, as cost-cutting measures, Sears lized its op' AC in ton, while the Bay moved its buying operations to Eastern Canada. Boots Drug Stores, with 38 outlets in B.C., moved its and ing operations to Toronto in January. Of the big four department stores, only Woodward's, a B.C.-based Pp ins full operations here. One of the few national retail chains to move to the West Coast was Canadian Tire, the Toronto-based firm with 360 stores across the country, including 17 in B.C. Angela Harker, a merchandising analyst with Burns Fry Investment Management ‘Ltd. of Toronto, said retailers are doing everything possible to cut costs and overhead, TRENDS CHANGING Other industry spokesmen said consumer buying trends are changing. Many luxury goods are collecting dust on store shelves and high-priced items such as furniture and appliances are barely moving. d , Apparently holding their own are women’s and men’s fashions. : Harker said that people are now spending most of their is 'y money on biles, dining out, liquor and tobacco. . During the 1970s, sales volumes among department stores increased an average of 15 to 17 per cent each year, Harker said. In the 1980s, the increases are averaging only eight to 10 per cent a year, while expenses are climbing 12 to 14 per cent, she added. Harker said that department store representatives surveyed by her consulting firm consider B.C. to be the worst market now, largely because of the slump in the forest industry, which accounts for 40 per cent of the gross provincial product. Art Adamic, general manager of the western region for The Bay, said sales were poor for the first quarter of this year, but he expects things will turn around in the middle of the year and that the last quarter will be good. [OURS CUT There haven't been wholesale staff layoffs, but part-time staff have had their hours cut. The Bay has also adapted a strict energy conservation program, he said. Lights go out automatically. at night, escalators start operating five minues before the store opens instead of 30 minutes before, and outside floodlights are geared to switch on when the sun sets instead of at a set time. Robert Wood, Boots Drug Stores’ vice-president of operatiors for the Western region, said that by closing their warehouse in Langley and moving warehouse and account- 300 times faster than oxygen, ‘which means even a moder- *: ate intake~ of: carbon~-mon-. oxide dramatically lowers the’ amount of oxygen earried-by. , thé bloodstream. The Denver study, headed by Benjamin Honigman of Denver General Hospital, in- volved testing 36 non-smok- ing joggers on seven days of moderate air pollution, with carbon monoxide levels in the air varying. from about two parts per million up to eight ppm. Investigators measured carbon monoxide in volun: teers’ breath before, during and after their job. When ing ions back East, the chain is realizing substantial savings on overhead. Wood said sales were down in January, Marchi and'April "700 ey : Vernon Forster, co-owner of the 12 Canadian Tire stores ~ in the Vancouver atéa, sild that sales at seven of the outlets ‘' increased 20 per cent over a year ago, while automobile repairs went up 25 per cent during the same period. He said Canadian Tire stores do well “because we're not in the high-ticket luxury goods business.” Instead, the chain relies on volume buying and selling of such goods as automobile tires, parts and accessories, hardware, small appliances, sporting goods and-gardening supplies, Forster said.

Mount Sentinel has begun its last term with the vigorness of knowing that summer is just around the corner. oo \ The student council was busy recently carrying out activities for the community to enjoy.
