Headlines captured’ Two Montreal-based companies captured the business . headlines Thursday.

TRIES AGAIN Also in Montreal, Alcan said it will buy most of the U. 8. primary aluminum and fabricating operations of Atlantic Richfield Co. Industry watchers say the deal with the big Los Angeles oil company may be worth between $750 million and $1 billion. . _ If the acquisition goes through, it would be ihe most important strategic move by Alcan since the late 1870s, when it tried unsuccessfully to acquire major primary aluminum and fabricating assets of another U.S. metals. group. That plan was scrapped after problems with US. anti-trust laws. Under the latest proposal, Alean would buy. Atlantic Rich- field's primary smelter at Sebree Ky.; hot-and cold-rolling mills at Terre Haute, Ind., and Louisville and Logan, Ky.; . its packaging products operations; and its 25-per-cent stake in the $1-billion Auginish alumina refinery in Ireland. * Neither company would disclose Thursday the purchase price or the method of payment. However, Atlantic Rich- field said Alcan proposed to use a combination of cash and securities. -CAR SALES UP . In another develbpment, Canada’s major carmakers reported a 24-per-cent increase in sales last year, the best since 1979, The Canadian subsidiaries of GM, Ford, Chrysler ond American Motors, all based in Ontario, said they sold 815,104 cara and trucks last year, up from 659,415 in 1962, . On the Toronto market, share prices rose to their best | level since Sept. 27, inspired by a roaring two-day rally on Wall Street. Thursday's azpoint gain, was the largest in more than a month, In other developments Thursday: — The Bank of Cariada rate crept up one one-hundredth of a percentage point to 9.97 per cent. — Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce announced a new mortgage repayment plan for single family residential customers. The plan, available immediately, will allow - customers to repay up to 10 per cent of the original amount of thelr mortgage once @ year‘on any monthly payment date ‘ without penalty or other charges. — Statistics Canada sald borrowing remained weak inthe — 1983 third quarter despite economic recovery, Preliminary figures show that $11.262 billion was raised, during the quarter, a depressed level by historical standards, That was equal to 10.6 per cent of gross national expenditure, compared with 18.6 per cent two years earlier at the onset of — the recession, 4 This list list beeomea the basis foreach job search. ; Through the first week, participants get support and instruction In a variety of job hunting skills: filling ; week, they are prepared to tackle the main goal: at- out applications, attitude and dress for siccesstul in- ‘terviews,' correct telephone manner.

By the end of the first tive job ' One of the greatest obstacles isthe fear of phoning. Clients are encouraged to see the phone as a tool. It is their “line into the job market". ‘ On the telephone, the applicant is not seek seeking a job, | but rather ah interview. This takes pressure - off the caller — and the employer, Applicants do not get a em over the phone, It is the interviews that lead to ‘By the end of the first week, participants are phon- - {ng for interviews. Some are successful within the first - few calls; others take longer. Most of the group will ob-_ tain a‘nuriiber of interviews, and many will find jobs through the techniques they have learned. Does this program really work? Statistics say yes. - Over the last three years, in one Vancouver Island pro- » ministry _ @fam, an average of 60 per cent of those who atiended Job Action found work. For a gsroun of people with poor work history, that is a high percentage, Most importantly, though, the participants have learned th: ‘hay are able to help thameelyes, This ap- plies not . y to their current situation, but to. the . future as'.
