Trade Fair time

The 1982 edition of the West
Kootenay Trade Fair is nothing
short of an unqualified success.
The more than 100 displays inside
and outside the Community Com-
plex, coupled with the fine lineup
of entertainment for visitors of all
ages has helped make this year's
Trade Fair one of the best yet.

Just as amazing is the fair's suc-
cess in light of the current
economic downturn and the effects
of that downturn on consumers
and merchants. The Castlegar
Selkirk Lions Club deserves full

marks for staging a fair of this
calibre in the current economic
climate.

Though in one sense commer-
cial, the Trade Fair also provides
services funding necessary for the
Lions to undertake their com-
munity service work, For that
reason alone it deserves our sup-
port. But because it is also well
worth the admission price, it is
easy for us to recommend
everyone get out and enjoy them-
selves at this year's Trade Fair. It's
on teday from 1 p.m. - 6 p.m.

We're skeptical

BC Timber president John Mont-
gomery’s comments this week to

Castlegar service clubs, chamber’

of commerce and city council
representatives, though  in-
teresting, were nothing we haven't
heard before. That doesn't mean
they weren't welcome. His
assurance that BC Timber is fully
committed to both the lumber and
pulp mills here is in itself
something — especially in light of

should be coming down within the
next six months. That means we'll
just have to wait and see if BC Tim-
ber follows through on all its talk.

But we're more than a little
skeptical about the plans for the
expansion of the pulp mill — and
with good reason. We've been
hearing about the pulp mill expan-
sion for some six or seven years
now — but have yet to see any
results,

this week's at the
Kootenay Forest Products plywood
and sawmill operations in Nelson.

His news about the lumber in-
dustry and its future through the
remainder of this year and much of
1983 was not new. We know the
outlook isn't bright — and he
reconfirmed that on the local level.

Perhaps the most important part

ofthis speech is also the part with ©

which we have the most difficulty.
That's the part about the future
expansion of the pulp mill and
modernization of the lumber
division. The plans for the $35
million upgrading for the sawmill
only surfaced some months ago
when Bruce Howe, president and
chief executive officer of BC Tim-
ber's parent company B.C. Resour-
ses, announced them at a Win-
nipeg conference. Montgomery
said this week those plans are at
the top of the company’s priority
list and a major announcement

y's for BC
Timber dragging its feet on the
pulp mill expansion is that the mill
was BC Timber's top performer in
1981 and the company has to invest
its capital into those operations
that are struggling.

That type of economic reasoning
really is questionable. BC Timber
has decided to invest in operations
that are marginal or losing money

‘with the hope to make them

profitable, while their top perfor.”

mer — and a guaranteed money-
maker sits idly by losing ground to
competitors year after year. It
would seem much more sensible to
shore’ up the strong mills and en-
sure their d viabil

It does not surprise me that
seemingly partisan politicians who sit
as directors on the RDCK, such as Mr.
Vanderpol, echo sentiments of concern,’
that are negative.

It would appear that he is the one
that is going ahead with blinders. B.C.
Hydro has had an information office in
Castlegar for sometime, and if he had
spent the time to check in and research

‘his questions he would have had the

answers and perhaps, just perhaps,
some positive questions could have
been asked.

The Murphy Creek project has been
suggested for a number of years — and

‘Tora! Tora! Tora!’

IS IT VANISHING?

if he has had some al projects
in mind, that would be just as feasible
— he should make specific recom-
mendations.

It is natural that Hydro dams
become political issues and rightfully
so. This concerns all of us.

The way I see it, to date Hydro has
acted very responsibly by meeting
with municipal politicans such as the
RDCK regarding Murphy dam and
then again perhaps the taxpayers
should consider divorcing the RDCK
and hire less costly groups to ask the
same questions.

Spectre of instant war

By PAUL KORING

NEW YORK — When Sir Harry
Holdsworth Rawson and his Royal
Navy squadron hove into sight 86 years
ago to deal a lesson to the uppity
Sultan Said Khalid in what now is
‘Tanzania, it produced the shortest war
on record.

shooting starts.

That makes the slow steady south-
ward progress of the British fleet
toward the Falkland Islands, seized by
Argentina on April 2, reminiscent of
the days of the British Empire, and an

that

— Sir Harry picked up a medal from
the Sultan’s successor and serious
thought was given to charging the
rebels for the ammunition used — it is
more than enough time to wipe out
mankind in the era of 15-minute
warnings when thousands of nuclear
warheads are poised to rain instant
death anywhere on the globe.

An entire post-Hiroshima generation
has grown up with the spectre of
i nuclear war. Defence

And, once again, the sap has begun
to run.

We take you now to the Parks
Commission, where they are locked in
controversy with Greenpeace over one
of the burning questions of the day:

“Should we be playing music for the
immates down at the zoo?” ;

- +: Greenpeace says “Good idea.”

The commissioners say:“‘Nénsense.”

But first, a little background. *

Greenpeace has promulgated a prop-
osal to have a saxophone quartet from
the University of British Columbia
music school serenade the beasts.
Should the beasts object, they'll stop,

We wonder just how long it will
be before the Celgar pulp mill is
turned into.a marginal performer
because of neglect. Will BC Timber
invest capital then (if it has capital
available at the time), or will we
see the mill sold off like the two
KFP mills in Nelson?

Tora! Tora! Tora!

. The following Is reprinted from
the Vancouver Sun.

Ayear after being taken over by
the Mitsubishi group of Japan,
Chrysler's former Australian sub-
sidiary has announced a record
profit of close to $18 million
(Australian) in 1981, up-153 per

cent from 1980,

The big winner for the company
since its transition has been a
small car with a name that's half-
Japanese and half Greek — the
Mitsubishi Sigma. But at least it's
not an import. If you can't beat’em,
join’em.

Bigger not better

It's time, perhaps, to dispel the
myth that bigger is always better,
not only in farming, but in other
business as well.

For years, Canadians have been
told that huge farms (many of them
operated by big corporations) are
needed to keep food prices at
reasonable levels. The most ef-
ficient and lowest cost producers,
we ore told, are those with mam-
moth operations. Yet that's not
necessarily the case.

Recent studies have unearthed
some good news for the families
that produce the vast majority of
the nation's produce.

Consider one example. On_

wheat farms, maximum efficien-
cies are achieved on farms of 1,476
acres, but farmers with only 232

out the likes
M

of Chrysler and
°F with hundreds o'
millions: in tax-payer dollars, little
is being done for entrepreneurs
(be they farmers, manufacturers,
or retailers) who create a clear
majority of the country's new jobs.
In fact, the opposite is hap-
pening. Even though business
failures are at near-record levels
as a result of sky-high interest
rates, the federal government
clobbered entrepreneurs in the
last budget. The decision makers
in Ottawa took away a successful
program that allowed smaller fir-
ms to expand, and effectively
raised taxes for virtually al!.small
businesses,

The mandarins, bureaucrats, ~

and politicians can’t seem to un-

The whole idea is to “learn the
responses of various animals to differ-
ent kinds of music and sounds,” the
sponsors state.

Replied the commission:

strategists ponder whether “they”
could destroy “our” missiles with a
surprise attack before “we” could
retaliate.

But wars generally don't happen
according to the push-the-button-and-
15-minutes-later-it's-all-over theory.

They start slowly, with hostage-
takings, or land seizures, or even the

t

cannot replace old-fashioned appli-
cations of carefully escalated force.
Every couple of days Britain an-
nounces additions to the battle fleet.
The two weeks — now nearing an end
— that it will take for the fleet to reach
the South Atlantic provides time for
diplomatic overtures. Already the UN-
has condemned ‘Argentina's use of
force. In a trans-Atlantic diplomatic
shuttle -U.S. State Secretary Alex-
ander Haig has managed to win some
concessions from the junta in Buenos
Aires, although ly not enough

some naval muscle during the hostage-
taking crisis in Iran,: there was no
announced course of action — no inevi-
tability about the manoeuvres.

In the aftermath, Washington cre-
ated a rapid deployment force designed
to respond instantly to crises in the
Middle East, but more recently has
decided to refurbish four giant Second
World War vintage battleships — once
the ultimate vehicle for showing the
flag and backing diplomatic talk with
real force.

Once thought to be obsolete in a
world of speed-of-sound bombers and
ever-faster missiles, the ponderous but
stately show of force afforded by naval
surface firepower is making a come-
back.

Believe it or not, we're —
drinking less beer these days

By GAIL LEM
We're drinking less beer these days,

“We have had p with the
animals in the zoo and the aquarium
who have been adversely affected...
The sea otter, for instance, was so
upset that it could not eat for some
weeks...

OK, we've heard from Greenpeace
and from the Parks Commission, but so
far there has been no input from either
the musicians or the animals. Let's
change that.

“I'm against it,” says Noodles Rom-
anoff, noted practitioner on the so-
prano sax.

“I mean, how would it look on the old
resume? ‘Just returned from a trium-
phant six-week stand at the otter poo!
down at the Vancouver Zoo?’

“Or: :

“Where did I appear last? Well, I
‘apent some time practising scales down
at the.aquarium. | ote ie

“Til admit therg!is‘no disgrace to
playing in’a pit orchestra, but ‘a bear
pit? With real bears? No,’ the’ union
would never understand.”

P by the Brewers
Association of Canada show.

Last year the average adult Can-
adian drank an estimated 113.1 litres of
beer, down sharply from when con-
sumption figures peaked at 117.78
litres in 1973.

Although figures for the years 1978
to 1980 are erratic, reflecting labor:
problems, the trend shows beer-
drinkers are cutting back, says Mavis
Horgan of the Ottawa-based brewers’
group.

But that doesn’t mean shares of the
major Canadian breweries aren't the
deal they once were, says a Toronto
investment firm.

In a recent report, Canadian Busi-
ness Service said shares of John Labatt
Ltd., The Molson Companies Ltd. and
Carling O'Keefe Ltd. still have long-
term appeal, especially at today’s
depressed stock market prices.

For one thing, the firm said, if the
suspicion beer sales are down because
wine sales are up is correct, that’s not

necessarily bad news for Labatt and
Carling, which both sell wine as well.

None of the three depend as much on
their beer sales for profits as in the
past and this diversification into other
areas should reduce the impact of
lower beer sales, said Canadian Busi-
ness Service.

John Labatt Ltd. is a diversified food
and beverage company with interests
in brewing, consumer goods and agri-
cultural products industries. The com-
pany sells wine in Canada through its
Chateau-Gai interest.

Labatt has reduced its brewing sales
as a percentage of total sales to 48.6
per cent last year from almost 52 per
cent in 1977,

The company’s per-share earnings
fell to $1.84 in 1979 from $2.89 the year
before but bounced back to $3.47 last
year and could climb to $4.30 in the
current fiscal year, Canadian Business
Service predicted. ‘

Labatt’s class A stock traded Mon-
day on the Toronto Stock Exchange at

$24.
Aside from its brewing interests,

Molson is involved in retail merchan-,

dising, commercial products, ware-,
housing and cartage.

In a nine-year period from 1972 to’
1981, Molson reduced its brewing sales
as a proportion of total sales to 46.4 per
cent from 61.7 per cent.

While per-share earnings reached a
high of $3.66 in 1980 and slipped back
to $2.84 last year, Canadian Business
Service estimates the company could
earn about $4 a share this year.

Carling O'Keefe, which turns out ale,
lager and stout, has an oil and gas
company and professional sports inter-
ests and sells wine through its wholly-
owned Jordan Valley Wines sub-
sidiary.

In 1977 the firm's beer sales made up
84.9 per cent of its total sales but that

figure was reduced by last year to 81.1'

per cent.

Carling O’Keefe's earnings rose to 82
cents a share last year from 1979's 53
cents and the figure will probably rise
to 95 cents this year, Canadian Busi-
ness Service said.

Smoking stats high
with cancer patients

TORONTO (CP) — Dis-
eases related to smoking —
“by far and away our most
serious health problem” —
will kill thousands of Cana-
dians this year, says a
spokesman for the Canadian
Cancer Society.

Lung cancer will kill 6,800
men and 1,900 women, says
Dr. David Nostbakken, dir-
ector of public education for
the society.

At least 80 per cent of lung
cancer is due to cigarette
smoking and 30 per cent of all
forms of cancer are linked to
smoking.

“It is by far and away our
most serious health prob-
lem,” he says.

Nostbakken says prelimin-
ary 1981 census figures from

Statistics Canada show 32.6
per cent of Canadians smoke,

The hotel has been a tradi-
tion in Lone Butte since it

of its owner, Tom Jones.

A rancher most of his life,
