ACQUIRED LEGALLY The gun that Gary White, 18, used to kill Const. David Dunmore in Toronto recently was a legally acquired semi-automatic rifle from his uncle's gun collection. Wth the right contacts, one can buy anything from a .22-calibre handgun to large-calibre Magnums and even machine-guns, said Staff Supt. Donald Banks, former head of the Toronto police intelligence unit. Banks said his unit proved that over a three-year period when it went undercover in Toronto and bought every kind of weapon imaginable.

There's a lot of money to be made selling the weapons. Insp. Noel Catney of Peeh Regional Police said a .357 Magnum handgun can be bought in the United States for $75 and resold for up to $500 after being smuggled into Canada. Small-calibre guns bought for as little as $10 in the U.S. can be sold for about $100 in Canada, he said. “It is a very lucrative business,” said Catney. “A gun is a marketable commodity and an unregistered firearm is an even more marketable commodity.” © MEBMAL 01 PO Aopseupem o1 Y8no24y F120 “AOpeinyL Thursday.

The Tourism Ministry's Super Natural British Columbia advertising campaign which features the province's natural beauty will be altered to put less ‘emphasis.on image and more on specific information about travel opportunities, Horsey said. “We believe tourism products will come to play a much greater role in the development of the industry,” Horsey told a seminar on business opportunities that will arise from the Expo 86 world transportation fair. “No longer is it enough to suggest to consumers in our major markets that we have terrific mountains, terrific lakes and rolling ranch lands because the consumer, our research is showing more and more, is saying something like: ‘Fine, fine we folks here in Washington state, Oregon, California or wherever have equally terrific mountains, lakes and rolling ranch lands. So exactly what is it, British Columbia, that you have to offer? What is it that you have for us to do.’ ” ‘ REORGANIZATION DONE Tourism B.C. has made a fundamental reorganization of how jt will sell British Columbia as a vacation spot to tourists, Horsey said. “It's no more Mr.-Nice-Guy-image stuff. I think instead we want to start working with specific marketing targeted at specific segmented markets. If there are old-age pensioners who have RVs (recreation vehicles) in California we want to talk to those people. We want products that those people can come and work with.” He said white-water rafting is an example of one vacation activity that started on a small scale and does not appeal to every tourist, but can be readily mafketed to certain segments. “Sure look at all that scenic beauty, look at that fabulous Hell's Gate Canyon and after you've done that come on in ‘and we'll scaré the hell out of you in a ride you'll never forget.” Tourism B.C. soon will have a branch to help businesses put together and market tour packages. Next year, the ministry will compile a travel planner booklet outlining tour packages, complete with events, routes, distances and indiations of costs. These will be distributed through newspapers in British Columbia, the west coast of the United States and key eastern Canadian markets. WIDE DISTRIBUTION “That implies a press run of over four or five million pieces of literature with extraordinarily specific, extra ordinarily carefully identified events and activities for the visitor,” Horsey said. It will mean the ministry has to take a greater role in helping to pull together the various participants in the tourism industry, he said, but it will also take co-operation and money from other sources. } Horsey is optimistic about tourism, a $2-billion-a-year industry in B.C., being able to lead the province back to economic stability. He said tourists are changing and that's good news for British Columbia. front provided by First Cap- ital De Co. Ltd. Project manager Gary Oli ver says the car survived be. cause its 73 years of service with CP Rail were unevent “Wooden cars that were in wrecks ended up as kindling and CPR would have con. demned it rather than bother with repair had there been serious damage of any sort,” he says. The 22-metre-long car was bought by the society for $1,000 in 1963. Sold later be cause of lack of storage facil ities, it was reacquired in poor condition in 1983. The painted canvas-over-wood clerestory roof was leaking badly, there was localized wood rot and varnish on inlaid interior panelling has been affected by moisture. Built for CP Rail in Day ton, Ohio, for around $3,000, the vehicle served as the sleeping car Sherbrooke until 1910, when it was converted at the railway's Montreal shops to its present business. car layout, with open obser. out. “They put them there to deaden noise and to provide some thermal! insulation,” says Oliver. “It didn't matter that they acted as a moisture trap and caused the floor to rot out. CPR never foresaw that the car would be around for 94 years.” NOT AFFECTED Fortunately, the two main structural members of the car, composite wood and steel beams, have not been affected by moisture and show little sign of sag. The beams are braced from above and below by tie bars and steel straps to form a deep truss. The steel strap- ping, hidden in the side walls of the car, is unusual. After being named Sher- brooke, the car was variously known as the New Bruns- wick, Laurentian, Ontario, Laurentian for the second time, Selkirk and, finally, British Columbia. In 1928, the business car was demoted to local service, stripped of its name and numbered 16. The name British Columbia was restored in 1963 when the car passed out of railway service. Oliver said the car has changed little since the 1910 conversion. The gallery still has a coal-fired stove with for the 1910 lighting system. INSTALLED IN ‘208 A 82-volt DC electrical system was installed in the 1920s but the ice boxes in the gallery were not removed. As a result, the meltwater from the ice blocks leaked and destroyed part of the flooring. The mahogany sheathing on the outside of the car is little damaged and will be re. painted in traditional CPR tusean red.
