Three weeks
|| left to go

$11,500 IN

By FRED WILSON, Drive Manager

There is an uneasy optimism around the PT office these
days, with three weeks before the completion of the financial
drive. We’re optimistic because with$11,500 raised as we goto
Press, there exists a very real possibility of going substantially
Over the $22,000 target figure.

That all-important goal of a better quality newspaper,
better suited to the political job to be done, now seems within
Teach. But in the same breath it is an uneasy optimism because
We know that such an accomplishment will require the
Maximum effort of every club in the province.

: To go over the target by the amount we seeasnecess ary, it
will mean that each club willhave to surpass what they raised
last year by a minimum of 10%. Thereis no doubt that thisis
one massive task.

A traditional feature of PT drives, and indispensable to a
Successful drive is socialist competition. This year again it is
§lving the drive an extra push, the latest being a challenge
from the North Shore club to all of the other Vancouver area
Clubs with quotas of $900 or more, as to who can go over their

quota by the largest percentage.

There is room for concern over some clubs who have not

yet reached half their quota. In Vancouver, Centennial and Bill

ennett clubs look in tough shape, while we still haven’t
Teceived any word from Kamloops or Penticton.

If the PT had ten more like Mike Stevens, Steve
Nickyforuk, Rita Tanche, and Bob Towle, we would be alright.
etween the four of them they have raised over $2,000, with
ike Stevens having raised over $800 himself. By the end of the
drive they should have plenty of company around the honor
table. Awards will be presented on the basis of: $35 or more—
Press builder; $65 or more— premier press builder; and $100 or
- More— honor press builder.

Club, from the Co-op Bookstore, or from the PT office. Out of

With three weeks to go there is still $10,500to beraised—a

Woodward's stores break
all-time profit record

Woodward Stores, which take
a giant chunk of the consumers

-hold appliances and other.

necessities of life, announced
recently that its profits had
climbed to an all-time high. For
the year ending January 31 it

_ reported a profit of $9,987,368.

In addition to a sharp rise in
payments to. shareholders,
Woodward Stores are pouring
tens of millions of dollars into
new expansion to keep ahead of
its giant competitors, parti-
cularly in the food industry —
such as Safeway, Super-valuand
against other department stores
such as Eatons, Hudsons’ Bay
Company and Simpsons-Sears.

All of these record-breaking
profits, and capital for un-
precedented expansion, comes
from profits derived from con-

sumers. We pay for itallinone’™

form or another.

Woodwards has now become
one of the major giants in the
B.C. economy. In terms of total
sales it is next only to MacMillan
Bloedel.

Inhis annual report to share-
holders recently, chairman C.N.
Woodward announced that the
company has acquired 30 acres
for a new shopping centre in
Richmond. It will also open a

new store in the Arbutus
shopping centre in Vancouver as
well as in Richmond. It now has
a multi-million dollar plan
underway to expand Oakridge.

Using the vast profits made
from the Vancouver opera-
tions, Woodwards is expanding
into Lethbridge and is buildinga
major shopping centre in
Calgary. It is also pouring large
sums of money into real estate
promotions, such as Project 200
in Vancouver, in which it owns
23 percent of the action. :

C.N. Woodward is one of the
corporate giants in B.C. He
exercises a wide economic and
political power inB.C. Heisan
influential member of Vancou-
ver’s establishment elite.

In addition to being chairman
of Woodward’s Stores, he is a
director of the Royal Bank of
Canada, Montreal Trust, West-

coast Transmission, and presi- .

dent of the huge Douglas Lake
Cattle Company, one of Canada’s
largest beef ranches. Total
assets are in excess of $10.9
billion.

C.N. Woodward is one of those
B.C. millionaires who is
expanding his wealth by leaps
and bounds by taking advantage
of the present inflationary
period to amass vast amounts of
capital from robbing the con-
suming public. His profits are
one of the big reasons why prices
in B.C. are the highest in
Canada. _ :
