33) Castlégar News November 2, 1969 BUSINESS Big bucks to be made at airports VANCOUVER (CP) — The ringing of cash B.C.'S MINING INDUSTRY Productivity the key to success SMITHERS — Productiv- ity and economic survival will have to take precedence over wages, benefits and holidays for the rest of this decade in B.C.'s mining industry, its chief spokesman says. Tex Ei of may join the roar of jet engines at big-city airports. Airport operators from around the world who met in Vancouver recently say airports offer limitless oppor- tunities for peddling goods and services. Planners envision consumers being able to pick up everything from groceries, to dry cleaning, to the family sedan. You'll be able to visit a dentist or an optician — even put your children in day care. In some cities you will be able to play blackjack or a round of golf; rent a personal computer or a hotel room by the hour. A big-city airport has 40 million customers a year, And while fliers are waiting for their flight, they’ re considered a captive market. “The basis of success in any commercial operation is to identify what the market wants and would be susceptible to buying and then to create the strategies and wants to satisfy those means,” said John Mulkern, h The Mining A He told a regional meeting of the Canadian Institute of Mining that the industry must do everything it can to managed better than, ever before and of British Columbia, said the current problem of the in- dustry is that it pays 1983 costs and receives 1978 pri- ces, and that is going to make the going tough, particularly in base metal mining. new tech will have to be applied, he said, “It means that our. labor and that ite spate to productivity and economic survival will have to take precedence over matters of wages, benefits and holidays for the rest of this decade,” Enemark said. He said the industry will also have to concentrate on the problem of “policy in- force will have to und. the changing nature of min- ing, that and create stability” chan in government policy that arm con- labor both will have to work harder at developing more fidence and slow growth. Over the last five years, said,. there has been a shift by government toward placing higher taxes on operation and on capital investment, and this tax base is increasing at a compound- ed rate of more than 26 per cent a year. “It seems to us that’ tax- ation policies ought to be the most stable of policies, and not the most changeable,” he said. “The tax system should Promote continuity in opera- tions during economic down- ‘turns and encourage confi- dence in the province's in- vestment climate.” Enemark warned that the industry also has to make a better case for itself in Ot- ,tawa if it is to promote fed- eral policies that will assist mining. He said a case in point is the debate over the Crow Rate. Despite the fact that mining moves as much coal as farmers move grain through Pacific ports, and that re- moval of the Crow Rate will assure an investment of $5.5 billion in railway upgrading and 10,000 new jobs over the next eight years, not one of B.C.'s 28 MPs spoke out in Parliament in support. “Given the importance of this industry to the province, and given the importance of railway transport to the in- dystry, this is, in my view, shocking,” Enemark said. “Clearly, a program of edu- cation about the importance of B.C.’s mining industry for B.C.'s representatives in Ot- tawa is long overdue.” DISCOVERY managing director of the British Airports A “Airport trading is a little different from the conven- tional town centre trading, though,” he said. “The travellers are in a different frame of mind to when ihey are Srataary, shoppers — and this needs to be reco; ‘For instance, they may have little time — or sometimes they have hours to wait — and they are excited or apprehensive, jet lagged, disoriented, or perhaps unfamiliar with language or customs. Th this knowledge of the profile of your customers forms the bedrock of a sound commercial strategy.” NEW STRATEGIES Strategists or not, cash-starved airports are going after the high flyers as never before. Los Angeles International, for example, now w derives 50 per cent of total revenues from concessions, leases and the sale of utilities. Last year, that_came to some $43.|.. million, The airport is undergoing a $700 million (U.S.) terminal expansion program coinciding with the 1984 Olympic Games. Evan Canada, whose are owned and operated by the federal government, will hustle a little harder. To start with, however, Transport Canada will move more conservatively. COMBINES SERVICES For example, itis and flight insurance in one booth. “This benefits both the airport operator and the con- cessionaire,” Robillard said. The airport doesn't have to provide and man a booth — and the concession will: benefit because it can sell insurance to people who want information.

An additional er banking service, believed to be the first in Canada, will start Nov. 7 in B.C. when customers will have instant access to their bank accounts from 1,000 locations in B.C. and 29 U.S. states, Many Canadian banks al- ready provide extensive automated facilities within the country but so far none has international links. Through a previously- announced agreement with The Exchange bank machine network based in Bellevue, Wash., Pacific Network Ser- vices offers the service, gen- eral manager Ron Darn- brough said recently. The agreement marks the first time an automated bank- ing network has been pro- grammed to dispense differ- ent currencies in different countries, he said. The sys- tem will use a current ex- change rate and deduct the converted amount from a cardholder's account in his home country. PNS is a partnership be- tween Vancouver City Sa- vings Credit Union, the Sur- rey Credit Union and the GEAC Service Bureau Group. "_PNS will install 22 Ex. change card machines at VanCity and Surrey credit unions between N 21 hi are due to be in operation by April. Darnbrough said 142,000 Exchange cards will be is- sued to VanCity and Surrey Credit Union members by February, and he expects 200,000 cards to be in cir- culation throughout B.C. by the middle of next year. The GEAC group, made up of the B.C. Teachers, Island Savings, First Heritage and Westminster credit unions, expects to have machines ready by next June. The machines, which are owned and- serviced by the user branches, cost $39,000 to $56,000 each, Customers will be able to pay bills and deposit or with- draw funds from their ac- counts. Qut-of-country card- holders will be restricted to cash withdrawals. Daily withdrawal limits, ranging from about $50 to $250, will be set by the financial in- stitutions. PNS officials told a news conference that Exchange cardholders in B.C. also may be able to charge gasoline purchases through terminals located at gas pumps as early as next year. The system, al- ° ready in use in parts of the U.S., withdraws funds dir- ectly from a cardholder's ac- count and credits it to the ipprop: gas pany CLAY CASTLE Weekly Specials Nov. 2 to Nov. 9 CAKE PLATES . $10. $7795 Sale. .cccccccccccccees Clay Castle 903- 4th St., Castlegar 365-3811, Reg. $10.95 THURSDAY ONLY AT ALL BAY STORES PERSONAL SHOPPING ONLY, PLEASE: TRAIL, B.C.
