Everyone welcome. “There's _NoPlace ae ke Home” Announcing B.C. Home Based Business Richard C. Purdy’s dream started at home. A simple business concept, based on his © family's recipes. He created chocolates and confections in his kitchen. Mr. Purdy sold them from a smail covered cart he pushed up and down Vancouver's main thoroughfare, Granville Street. Today, the Purdy's Chocolate Company has grown to 40 stores across B.C., Alberta and Washington State. A simple home based business concept that developed into a major industry. In fact, 50 percent of all businesses in North America began at home. The Ministry of Economic Development has developed a new program to assist and encourage the growth of the home based business — throughout British Columbia. If you have an existing home based business and want some assistance, or if Business program is here to help you.

Net in- come was 146 percent above the $71 million reported in the com- parable quarter of 1987. After preferred share dividends, net income per common share for the first quarter was $1.05 com- i pared to 39 cents a year ago. Consolidated sales and operating revenues in the 1988 first quarter were $1,950 million, compared to $1,523 million in the year-ago quarter. Shipments of aluminum in all forms were 556,000 tonnes, compared to 519,000 tonnes in the opening quarter of 1987. Shipments of ingot products were 200,000 tonnes, compared to 208,000 tonnes in the ‘preceding quarter and 192,000 tonnes in the corresponding quarter of 1987. Fabricated product shipments, at 356,000 tonnes for the first quarter, were | virtually unchanged from the level of the preceding quarter but 29,000 tonnes higher than in the same period last year. Earnings from North Ameri- can operations increased by 60 percent over the fourth quarter of 1987, primarily due to im- proved margins and better volumes. European operations’ earnings continued to be strong and were essentially unchanged from the previous quarter. The company’s subsidiary in Brazil continued to post satisfactory results despite weakened de- mand for aluminum and adverse currency fluctuations. Earnings from operations in the Pacific were buoyed by strong results from the com- pany’s operations in Australia and further improvement by its affiliates in Japan. The average number of shares outstanding during the first quarter of 1988 was 158.0 mil- lion versus 157.5 million during the same period last year. by Tod Strachan The occasion was a visit by the Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific, who are currently on tour playing concerts for students around the province. For many of the younger students it was a new and refreshing musical experience, but the Naden Band isn’t something new to Terrace. They have been here several times before and each performance has been a trip down memory lane for two of its past members, Jim Ryan and Gordon Dickie, who have taught music to a countless mumber of Terrace students and are the foundation of the Terrace Community Band. The Naden Band was first formed at HMCS Naden in 1940 and was the second professional Royal Canadian Navy band to be formed in the country. The first began in Toronto in 1939 when the best of several pre-war voluntary navy bands were put together in a musical ensemble that was to become the band of the Royal Canadian Navy based in Halifax. By the end of World War II, - the value of maintaining profes- sional bands as Canadian am- bassadors was recognized by the decision was made to continue the tradition. In 1968 the Army, Navy and Aix Force were united into a single unit — the Canadian Armed Forces — and the group was renamed the Canadian Forces Naden Band. But old traditions die hard. In 1981 the hearts of all sailors, old and new, were stirred and the Naden Band once again appeared in traditional navy blue. The band went through a final Name change two years ago when it was renamed the Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific. But as in previous years, something as basic as a name change couldn't alter deep- rooted tradition or the profes- sional quality of their perfor- _ manices, Today the Naden Band is prepared to play all types of , music, perform as a complete concert or parade band, or be scaled down to any size, as small asa single performer, to comple- ment any occasion. Over the years, besides the Changing of the Guard Ceremony in Ottawa and several events such as the Calgary Stampede and the Kelowna Regatta, the Naden Band has performed at several world ex- positions including the Seattle Worlds Fair, Expo '67 in Mon- treal, Expo ’70 in Osaka, Japan, and Expo ’86 in Vancouver. They have performed in the U.S. at Disneyland, the United Nations Defence Convention in San Francisco, the U.S. Marines Tattoo in 29 Palms, Calif., the. Rose Festival in Portland, Ore., and the Western International Band Clinic in Seattle, Wash. And internationally, the Naden Band has performed at the Royal Spithead Naval Review in Portsmouth, Eng., and toured Australia, New Zealand and Europe. Later this month, following the completion of their present tour, the Naden Band will be off to Europe for a seven-week tour. .
