able to easily recognize these professional 9” shears by their fashionable Mandarin red han- dies, . _ As a result of the special knife-edge blade, you can now cut heavy fabrics with ease. Co-ordinate them with other preyiously hard-to-cut heavy fabrics and come up with a room setting :‘that ‘any’ profes- -:. sional decorator’ ‘seaquld uatmtre: ; For example, heavy tex- tured double knits are economi- eal for a room setting because of their 60-inch widths, and they can be stretched around the legs of a chair.

self piping.

The problem of what to do with a plain looking radiator cover can casily be solved by cutting a vinyl porch shade to

independents Attempting to Buy | Oil Refinery in Prince George

The Independent’ Petro- leum Agents Association of B.C. will attempt to purchase an 8,000 barrel-a-day oil’ re- finery in Prince George,’ presl- dent Fred Preasacco said last Friday.

He said the Union Oil of Canada refinery is currently being sought by Husky,Qil, an American concern, for a total of $38 million and the association has sent a telegram to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau re- questing that the foreign in- vestment roview. board not permit the deal,

(Mr. Pressacco is a former CanCel employee who lived in Castlegar and is wellbkiown here. He moved to Trail some years‘ago to. become Texaco bulk plant agent there, and was dismissed. by the company earlier this'ycar under. contro- versial circumstances.) -

Mr, Pressacco said the IPAA will ‘request both the provincial and federal govern- ments to lend money for the purchase but added if they refuse the money could still be obtained from private sources, provided that: other potential purchasers can be stalled long. enough.

‘Asked what those sources are, Mr.-Pressacco said there is’ a possibility of raising the, money from interested Cana-: dian financiers and individuals and also from abroad.

He suggested that. if ser- vice station operators and bulk agents in B.C. were each to contribute $5,000 for which they would receive shares, a

total of $15 million could’ be:

raised and there would then be no trouble persuading banks to lend the additional capital. ‘Mr. Pressacco said the purchase would mean a re- duction in gasoline prices in B.C. of up to ten cents a gallon. He noted that the refinery, at its current capacity, could only

provide 10 per cent of B.C.’s oil! |

He said’ the ‘purchase would also slow the drain of money from B.C. and would prevent the financial tricks that the big corporations use to hide their profits,

1.C. Browning, Union Oil vice-president for refining and marketing, said in Calgary that the IPAA purchase attempt was news to him.

“Because they wish to pur-

- chase doesn’t mean we would

want to sell to them,” he said. “We have already accepted an offer from Husky, pending

federal approval, so we could +

hardly start looking at another offer.”

The decision to attempt the purchase was made by the IPAA board of directors at a meeting last Friday after they

‘decided not to seek union af- filiation to protect themselves ~

from the oil companies.

‘The agents buy petroleum. products’ in bulk from oil companies and sell them to ser- vice stations and other outlets.

Mr. Pressacco said many of the agents are operating under oil company contracts with cancellation clauses that can put them out of business on as little as 24 hours notice.

He said the $38 million price tag includes the refinery,

little used real estate that can be disposed of easily and the plant’s current inventory.

To replace all this’ would cost $60 million, ‘he said and renovations of tho existing plant will cost only about $1 million,

He said the IPAA con- siders the refinery a good buy and believes its operations could grow quickly although it would never dominate the oil industry in B.C.

Commenting on the IPAA claim that the property is warts $50 million, Mr. Brown:

ing said: “It's fairly logical that if its worth $50 million we would” not be seiling it ior $33 million.”

Asked why Union Oi) would want to sell such a pro- fitable operation, Mr, Pressacco said he believes tho-major oil companies have divided North America into spheres of in- fluencejand the proposed deal with Husky Oil is part of the division. }

Ho sald he also believes some stock market negotiations are Involved but declined to elaborate.

Ho said if Union Oll refuses to sell to any other corporation but Husky, the federal govern: ment should step in and force Union Oil to continue nogotia- tions with other concerns.

But Mr. Pressacco said he doubts that provincial govern- ment is interested in helping the IPAA and speculated it may already have approved the Husky Oil purchase although there is yet no word fram the federal government.

But he added: “This is going io give an opportunity to the government to affirm that they are interested in ‘amall businesses.”

“Stocking Up on Coffee?

Recently ‘announced: in- creases in the wholesale cost of coffee up to 40 cents a pound are expected to be reflected at the retail level’ within the month,

+ If you plan to stock up a bit, don’t unless you can freeze it or buy in vacuum-pack tins. ‘The two-pound or one-kilogram package may be a bargain but not if it goes stale before you use it. However, there is no

reason to pass up specials on :
