BUSINESS

ROGER HAMEL
TAKES OVER
‘GRINDING JOB’

By KEN SMITH

TORONTO (CP) — Seven months ago, Roger Hamel
figured he had it made.

He had just retired as a senior executive with Imperial
Oil Ltd. and returned to his home town of Ottawa to set up a
business consulting firm. He had arranged his life so he
would have lots of time to devote to what he calls his
passion,.. skiing.

Then, unexpectedly, Sam Hughes resigned as president
of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the voice of
Canadian business and arguably the most important lobby in
the country.

Hamel, 56, was the unanimous choice of the chamber’s
board to succeed Hughes.

It's a grinding job, as Hamel knew from, his 15 years’
association with the organization. So why did he take it?

SPECIAL PROFILE

“T'm not really sure,” he grins. “But I know there’s no
other job out there that would have attracted me.”

He takes over on Saturday, March 30.

“It was supposed to be Monday, April 1. But who wants
to start on something like this on April Fool's Day?”

In fact Hamel, an engineer by profession who joined
Imperial in 1954, was only a year and a bit from being a
high-profile figure within the chamber. He had been second
vice-chairman, slated to be elected chairman late next year.

The chairman, however, serves only for one year as a
part-time spokesman, while the president finds himself
putting in 12 or more hours a day looking after the needs of
165,000 members, ranging from a corner-store operator to a
major manufacturing company.

ECONOMIC FUTURE

How does he see Canada’s economy today?

There's no one-word answer, he says.

“On the plus side, Canada has great potential: it has the
resources, the manufacturing and the people.

“On the other hand, we've got 11-per-cent unemploy.
ment, high interest rates and — I don’t know — a general
feeling, I guess, of uncertainty.”

The federal government is moving along the path that
should be expected, Hamel says.

“The people voted for a change of style and they're
getting it. They asked for consultation, and they're getting
it.”

Consultation, he says, is great. But there comes a time
when action is needed.

“We're all looking to the next budget to see what the
government is going to do,” he says. “Then we'll see how
serious Ottawa is about getting back to fiscal responsibility.”

He adds that “it’s going to take time to show results in
things like tackling and deficit, but what Canadians need is a
firm sense of direction” and “firm leadership people can
believe in.”

That's part of the role of the chamber, he says.

“T’ve no argument with being called a lobby, in the best
sense. We try to disseminate information. MPs, and
provineial governments, need to get the views of all kinds of
people.

“Sure, we talk for business, but unions are in
government halls too, so the people passing the laws should
be entitled to getting as many views as possible. That's what
we're trying to do.”

Hamel is married, with three children. When he can't
ski, he likes to plan tennis, or build model ships. “It's nice, he
explains, “to fit all the pieces together and see what comes
out.”

Deliveries

By DARRYL GIBSON

TOKYO (CP) — Although sailors and pilots have long
used the parabolic radio navigation system called loran C to
guide their vessels and aircraft, it has generally been denied
the land-based navigator.

But no longer.

Japan's Nissan Motor Co. has designed a system using
loran C to guide Japanese delivery vans through the often
mystifying maze of unnamed streets and roads in the
country’s cities and towns. Loran is an acronym for
long-range navigation.

The system, announced in time for Japan's just-started
Expo 85 science and technology exhibition in Tsukuba
outside Tokyo, combines a new loran receiver with a
computer-based floppy dise system and video display
terminal to locate not only the driver's’ position, but also
determine the most effective routing for multiple deliveries.

To operate the system, a host computer in a warehouse
is fed customer addresses and information on special needs
as well as a host of maps and other co-ordinates.

DETERMINES ROUTES

The computer then determines the best routes and
sequence for deliveries and the new program is written on a
floppy disc, which is later inserted into a dise drive mounted
in the delivery truck.

On the diplay unit, the maps of the areas and the
loran-determined position of the delivery van are then
displayed for the driver's use.

a light pen hed to the video unit can
be used to make notes and check off deliveries and an input

loran system which receives signals from three trans-
mitters, one in northern Hokkaido, another on Iwo Jima off
central Japan and a third on southern Okinawa. By figuring
the time lag between receiving the three signals the
computer can pinpoint the truck's location.

GROWTH INDUSTRY

A future model plans to use satellite-transmitted Global
Positioning System signals, Nissan said.

Although the system is only experimental at the
moment, it should find wide use in Japan's twisting, often
illogical road and street system because parcel delivery has
become one of the country's biggest growth industries in
recent years.

The big five Takuhaibin delivery companies alone
dropped off more than 2.1 million packages in 1983 and the
trucking industry as a whole expects to deliver 400 million
pieces of small freight in 1985.

A system which will keep the van drivers from spending
hours trying to find a single address will surely be snapped
up by the big companies which average route networks up to
20,000 kilometres each.

And with the biggest companies having 20,000 and more
allied trucks apiece, the number possibly requiring a
delivery navigation system should encourage Nissan into the
production stage soon. A prototype is already operating the
aréa around the Expo site in conjunction with the giant
Seibu department store chain.
