FOREST INDUSTRY & SMALL FIRMS

One B.C, forest products company's
shopping bill for one year can come to
more than $174 million — a large part
of it paid out to small suppliers. This esti-
mate was calculated recently in making
preparations for National Forest Products
Week, Oct. 15 to 21.

A West Coast purchasing manager
reports that one B.C. company can and
does place 50,000 purchase orders in one
year with over 1,200 firms,

Most of the money is spent for a wide
variety of chemicals, supplies and basic
materials and services needed to make
forest products. They range from carloads
of chlorine and caustic soda to packages
of paper clips. These purchases, together
with other operation costs, represent the

SMALL TOWN IS

Politics in a small town may be re-
garded with contempt or indifference by
the politicians of larger communities or
those who play their parts on the inter-
national stage. The feeling of superiority

may not exist in those who have begun -

their practical careers on the small-town
level, running for office as school trustee
or alderman.

Still further removed from the di-
rect inluence of public opinion isthe Ot-
tawa member of parliament. Unless he
is in the. cabinet he has little chance of
helping to form governmental policy. His
job is merely to support the poicy, if he
belongs to the government party, or op-

the industry.

The majority of the shopping is done
in each forest products company’s home

get the pr fe from B.C.

‘Strachan

By JAMES K. NESBITT
Opposition Le-
ader Strachan,
rubbing his hands
in political glee,

If goods are not factured in B.C.,
firms in other parts of Canada, Britain
and the United States are tried in that
order. A good many lumber companies
go a step further and first try their home-
town suppliers before going elsewhere in
the province.

The overall purchase pattern of for-
est products companies illustrates the fact
that large d d on’ small

purports to Aachen, and which Mr.
Strachan hates.

He's a good. digger is Mr. Stra-
chan, and he has come up with’

Heotvie be taken over by the gov-

Mr, Strachan says he has come

businesses—often relying ‘on the flexibil-

thing to be said for getting more of the
small-town point of view into national af-
fairs. If members of parliament were as
careful to question government estimates
of expenditure as they would question es-
timates for local paving contracts, their
constituents might feel they were getting

Mr. Strachan says he found
