a government body you are “in” for. life.
They can’t (or won't) fire you, no matter
what comes.

Surrey School Board figures it can
Save some $5,000 a year by going ahead
with this provision of ULC regulations,
and the municipality was reported to have
already done so.

The ruling goes like this:

ployee will i in.-that emp

: So the corporation or school board
secures a certificate of exemption, and
neither employee nor employer has ‘to
pay UIC.

‘Canada s West Speaks’ Up

Two opinions on the Canadian econ-
omy have been giveri which. deserve .par-
ticular study in the West. Ralph Shaw,
senior vice-president of MacMillan Bloe-

del and Power River Ltd., and Trade and *

Industsy,: Minister Robert Bonner in
Victoria, both pointed to economic and
financial: ‘barriers which could be raised
to block out a Canadian’s view of a pros-
perous future. -

Mr. Shaw told the | Western ‘Retail

man’s that
the policy of protectionist based on ‘ex-
aggerated nationalism” —- the. tariff wall
that would keep out British autos, inne
steel or Jag textiles—would h
Canadian sales abroad.

Mr. Bonner fears.a wall erected
against ‘the entry into Canada of foreign
risk capital. “The general nature of pub-
lic discussion in Canada today could eas-
ily scare off interested foreign industrial-
ists’ he says. He takes issue with the
Bank of Canada’s Mr. Coyne, who advo-
cated curtailment of American’ invest-
. ment. “We shall be for many years de-

pendent on the inflow of capital from
aborad.: Mr. Bonner said. °

Both men spoke for Western Canada.
Of similar interest is a portion of: the
. brief y J. R. Nichol: pre-
sident of the Council of Forest Industries
of B.C., to the Senate Committee on Man-
power and Empl He r

One-Third U

BC ‘Students

Get Some Financial Help

About a third of all students
attending the University of B.c.
last year recelved some imeastire of
financial assistance according to
figures released by UBO’s board of
governors,

During the 1959-60 session 5786
q Swards totalling  $1,997,738.09. were

“progressive reduction in tariffs, in re-
turn for similar concessions: by other
countriés directed towards- eventual. free
* trade of commodities such as‘ forest pro-'
ducts.”

It was no coincidence that these three
statements made specific reference to.
Western Canadian industry. ° “Mr. Shaw:
said the forest industry had been tempted
with the “magic wand” of tariff protec-

“tion against such imports as J:

made as to 3381 awards
for a total of $867,399.70 during the
Previous year.
Dean Walter Gage, chairman of
. the UBO awards commilttee,
the’ rlumber of: awards. made does
not represent the number of: indi-
viduals assisted since some students
receive more than one award, About
“half- of the 1950-60 total was in
loans which will be repaid.
During the 1950-60 session sti-
dents recelved awards from six
exes sources,”

plywood. Mr. Bonner had in mind for-
eign investment for the Peace and Col-
umbia river projects. Mr. Nicholson was
thinking of eventual free trade in B.C.
forest products. -

These opinions will be taken to heart
by all who realize that a wall around our
economy would bar us from our. custom~
ers just as. effectively as it-would keep
out their imports. _—- Vancouver Prov.

Men Wanted With $160,000 .

HELP WANTED — 16 men for work
in new Chlor-Alkali plant to be. built at
Trail, B.C. Each applicant must put up
$160,000 to purchase equipment with
which to work. Money -must be available
in cash right away, work should be avail-

able early next year. Good wages and:

working conditions, Apply in’ person.

An ad like this appearing in your
local newspaper would create quite a stir.
You might find yourself sayifig, “I don’t
know where a company is going to find
many people with that kind of money who

are looking for a job. And even if they.

do find them, the people woén’t be very
willing to take ‘a chiance with their’ money
simply to get a job. Things just don’t work
that way.”

You would be quite, ‘right. Industry

doesn’t operate that way. Yet it is still

a fact that companies like Cominco when *

they are planning to expand in a big way

must be. able to find large sums of money
in order to do so. Take the new Chlor-.
Alkali Plant at Warfield for example. By - -

the time it is ready to start operation, z

will have cost Cominco over $242 ete
It well require about 16 men.

This works out to a $160,000 capital

‘expenditure for each new job.
