PAGE 2 Construction is about to commence on a vast new convention complex costing more than two million dollars, to complement existing facilities at Fairmont Hot Springs, B.C. in the Lake Windermere area, ; At a press conference October 27th, Lloyd Wilder, President of Fairmont Hot Springs Resort Ltd., and architect Phillip Delasalle of Calgary unveiled plans and sketches of what they termed “Phase Two" of a long- Tange plan to make Fairmont “The Crown Jewel of British Columbia.” “A study by the Financial Post recently showed that most convention planners prefer facilities that are not close to urban areas, so they do not lose delegates to the lure of city night life,’ explains Wilder. “With a secluded but compiete facility such as we are building, Hot water proje two million on construction conventioneers will be able to have the time of their lives but will be readily available for important business sessions,” Eight years ago, Wilder and his architects ‘commenced planning the complete tran- sormation, of an aging resort into one of the outstanding facilities on the continent. Phase One, the present 40-room lodge and licensed dining facility was built five years ago, closely followed by the circular hot-pool — central focal-point of the ultimate complex — and then the rebuilt large pools and other swimmers’ facilities. The present lodge occupies 32,000 square feet: the new section alone will add 75,000 Square feet more, incorpora ting almost 100 more Sleeping units Providing convention and banquet facilities capable ot seating more than 1,000 people collectively at tables, By an What's all this? TORONTO (CP) — The inter- national nickel industry is suf- fering an economic hangover and a slump in consumer and plant equipment purchases has compounded the industry’s problems. During the late 1960s and into 1970 nickel was scarce and pro- ducers were expanding as rap- idly as they could, Then supply surpassed demand and at the same time demand began to de- cline, International Nickel Co. of Canada Ltd,, the non-Commun- ist world’s largest supplier, produces annual figures on con- sumption which estimate the amount of nickel actually proc- essed in factories. Industry sources say they ex- pect Inco’s 1971 consumption estimate—the figure usually is released in December each year —will be between 800 million and 825 million pounds, It was 985 million pounds in 1970, $44 million in 1969 and 830 million in 1968. . The decline in nickel con- sumption is in large measure a reflection of the drop in steel _ production. cos . Henry S. Wingate, Inco chair; “man, noted in a speech last Hi tog ea *~ would _“the-herald. month to the International Iron and Steel Institute in Toranto that more than 60 per cent of Primary nickel consumed last year was in steel ar iron-con- taining products. Stainless steel alone accounts for 40 per cent of the nickel market. Mr. Wingate said the nickel- steel alloy markets are rela- tively less important to the steel producers, Only about four per cent of steel sold contains nickel but he added: “In general they are, however, high profit products and products with a rapid growth potential.” Raw steel production for the first nine months of this year was down 5.05 per cent from the same period of 1970 in countries reporting to the International Iron and Steel Institute and ac- counting for about 80 per cent of world steel production. The Inco estimate may make the nickel market look worse than it actually is. Metallgesellschaft A. G., a West German firm which is one of the largest metals dealers in the world, also estimates nickel consumption and its estimates sales by producers. 62 ,eiecgcly st to ingenious arrangement of movable walls, the combined facility can provide: One banquet room for 350 or two for 175; plus 3 seminar banquet rooms with table seating for 150 in each, or six such rooms for 75 each, or any combination thereof; plus a dining room able to cater to 250 people with ad- jacent dance floor and large new cocktail lounge nearby, They gnaw at trees _ fo remain alive . BHUBANESWAR, India (Reuter) — Starving children gnaw at tree trunks tostay alive in the cyclone-smashed coastal region of India’s Orissa state, There is little or no food for them or hundreds of thousands other bedraggled survivors of the killer winds and waves that swept in irom the Bay of Bengal six days ago, About five million people were in the target area of winds of at least 110 miles an hour and 20-foot-high waves. The latest official death toll of 6,300 climbs by the hour as res- eue teams find more bloated bodies, An official spokesman in Bhu- baneswar, the state capilal, said the figure could pass 10,000 and local politicians have made estimates as high as 25,000, SWEPT TO SEA Many victims were swept out to sea by the backwash of the tidal waves, For those still fighting for survival in areas of appalling devastation the outlook is bleak, About 7.5 million homes have been destroyed or damaged and hundreds of square miles of crops obliterated. The Indian government is rushing food and medical sup- plies to the stricken region.

OTTAWA (CP) — Every dol- lar of industrial scientific activ- ity in the last 10 years has cost the federal taxpayer'from 40 to 55 cents, and a Carleton Univer- silty economist says too little at- tention has been given to the expenditure. Gilles Pacquet, writing in the current issue of the Canadian Tax Journal, says that of the -$391.4 million spent on scientific activities by Canadian industry in 1970, $110 million was prov- ided by the federal government in various forma of grants and another $84.8 million was lost to the federal treasury in the way . of tax relief. ; This amounted to a taxpayer cost, in grants and lost revenues -for the treasury, of 49 cents for each dollar of scientific activi- ties performed by industry last Due to the unusual moun- tainside location of Fairmont, the completed complex will climb up and down the‘ moun- tain in steps — and reaching a height of four stories at one point.
