'_ All told there are 15 on staff,
including “Big Jim" McKeown,
who says with.a gleam in his
eye, “I guess you ‘could call me
a staff member too — but I'm
far from new around here.”
“Big Jim” got his start in
Terrace quite a few years -back
when his business was centred
largely around a cable-splicing
enterprise.

"In those days — we did all
our splicing by hand,” he says
with just a slight tinge of nos-
tagala, Then with a quick flick
of his hand he pushes a lever
on an unobtrusive machine and
shows us how cables are spliced
these days. “Big Jim’ is pleased
to show you how all the thing-
amabobs and doomahickies
work in his large business es-
tablishment.

But parhaps his greatest
pride and joy is a large trans-
sistorized door that operates on
a remote control system. .
«. In his office is the small can-
trol box — hand-fitting size —.
and with the very slightest
touch it automatically opens
and shuts a huge orange freight
