BONNER, Q.C.,\nMinister of Industrial Development,\nTrade, and Commerce.\n The Honourable Robert W. Bonner, Q.C.,\nMinister of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce,\nVictoria, B.C.\nSir,\u2014I have the honour to submit herewith the Report of the Department of\nIndustrial Development, Trade, and Commerce for the year ended December 31,\n1961.\nTHOMAS L. STURGESS,\nDeputy Minister of Industrial Development,\nTrade, and Commerce.\n Report of the Department of Industrial Development,\nTrade, and Commerce\nFor the Year Ended December 31, 1961\nFOREWORD\nThe economy of British Columbia began to show definite signs of growth in\nthe late spring months of the year under review. This encouraging reversal from\nthe preceding downturn in the business cycle is expected to continue unabated\nthrough 1962. Surveys conducted by this Department point to further recovery\nin levels of sales and production for practically all manufacturing industries with\nsignificantly greater development of our forestry and mining resources.\nDuring 1961 the recorded values of production in our four basic industries\nall increased over 1960 levels. Current estimates, with 1960 figures in parentheses,\nare as follows: Forestry, $685,000,000 ($675,000,000); agriculture, $130,000,-\n000 ($127,000,000); fishing, $70,000,000 ($52,000,000); and mining, $182,-\n000,000 ($180,000,000). The total value of manufacturing in British Columbia\nis estimated at $1,935,000,000 in 1961, which represents a gain of $24,000,000\nover 1960 manufacturing output.\nA rise in the total Provincial labour force in the past year and the improvement\nin the economy in the summer led to a new record employment level of 567,000\npeople during July and August. Unfortunately the early months of the year were\nmarred by unemployment of considerable volume, brought on in part by the recession in the United States and uncertain domestic conditions. Another serious\nthough temporary setback to employment was occasioned by the three-month closure of the Aluminum Company's smelter while tunnel repairs were under way.\nCapital investment for industrial plant and machinery was highlighted by the\nconstruction of a $35,000,000 oil pipe-line from Fort St. John to Kamloops. This\nall-British Columbia line is already encouraging the construction of new feeder-lines.\nThe project will undoubtedly be a favourable factor in opening up the Province's\ngas and oil resources. Another major development was the completion of the\n$18,500,000 Craigmont copper-concentrator, located near Merritt. Pulp- and\npaper-mill modernization and expansion in 1961 included a complete overhaul of\nthe Woodfibre plant, owned by Rayonier, where expenditures totalling $15,000,000\nwere completed.\nThe value of exports through British Columbia's customs ports is estimated at\n$980,000,000 in 1961. While this represents a record figure, part of the gain was\nattributable to the large-scale shipment of grain to China. However, exports of\nforest products were maintained, with decreases in lumber, plywood, and shingles\ncompensated for by larger shipments of pulp and paper. Although the United States\nand the United Kingdom remained our most important customers, there was a considerable expansion of trade with Japan for such products as our copper, coal, iron\nore, and pulp. The change in the Canadian dollar exchange rate in terms of the\nUnited States dollar gave considerable encouragement to the exporting segments\nof the economy. As well, the more favourable competitive position of the domestic\nmanufacturer in relation to the United States is expected to show up in greater\nproduction in this direction during the coming year.\n Q 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nThe following sections of this Report record the activities of the several divisions of the Department\u2014namely, Industrial and Trade Office; British Columbia\nHouse, London; Bureau of Economics and Statistics; Mechanical Tabulation Division; British Columbia House, San Francisco; and, in addition, the board of management and structure of the British Columbia Research Council, located on the\ncampus of the University of British Columbia.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1961 Q 7\nINDUSTRIAL AND TRADE OFFICE\nThe main function of this office is to promote new industrial and commercial\nenterprises throughout the Province, provide assistance when necessary to established businesses, and develop the domestic and export trade. The office also\nprovides industry with data on location-sites, land-use maps, availability of raw\nmaterials, and information on the services offered by the British Columbia Research\nCouncil on matters concerning industrial and scientific research.\nThis work is carried out in co-operation with other Provincial Government\ndepartments, Federal Government departments, Boards of Trade, Chambers of\nCommerce, the British Columbia Division of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, industrial commissions, railway industrial agents, and foreign trade representatives in Canada and overseas.\nBRANCH PLANT AND MANUFACTURING UNDER LICENCE\nINQUIRIES\nDuring the year under review there was considerable activity in branch plant\nand manufacturing under licence inquiries. Many of the inquiries received were\nthe result of our direct mailing campaign to selected firms. One of the most interesting inquiries came from a firm that is looking for fully serviced industrial land\nin the Lower Mainland area. This particular firm indicated that it would require\nat least 20 acres of property for the establishment of a suitable manufacturing plant.\nSeveral industrial sites comprising this acreage were indicated on our composite\nindustrial map of the Lower Mainland together with other pertinent facts. Officials\nof the company are presently studying every aspect of British Columbia's economy,\nand they hope to reach a decision early next year.\nSeveral Eastern Canadian firms opened branch offices in British Columbia\nduring the year. In some cases the Department was contacted for assistance, and\nthe Industrial Commissioner visited officials of these firms to discuss Government\nregulations, etc., on establishing a new business in the Province. Some of the firms\ncontacted indicated that serious study will be given to establishing a branch plant\nwhen volume of sales warrant such an undertaking. Others had already taken the\nfirst step by acquiring warehousing facilities. The Department will continue to\nfollow up these contacts.\nNumerous licence manufacturing proposals from England, United States, and\nEastern Canada were directed to the Department during the year, and these items\nare being examined by British Columbia firms. Included in these items were a\nportable debarking-machine, a portable wood-chipping machine, and a concrete-\nspraying machine. Several inquiries were received from plastic-manufacturers,\nand two companies are investigating the possibility of utilizing peat from the Fraser\nValley to manufacture peat pots for growing and transplanting shrubs, flowers, etc.\nNegotiations with one large company are under way at the present time.\nCOMPOSITE INDUSTRIAL MAP OF THE LOWER MAINLAND\nRequests for this map have been so numerous that it was necessary to print a\nnew edition during the year. Requests for copies were received from real-estate\nfirms, manufacturers, and businessmen throughout Canada, the United States, and\nthe United Kingdom. The map indicates the zoned and potential industrial areas\nof twelve municipalities, extending from North Vancouver to Port Coquitlam, a distance of approximately 14 miles. The 1961 edition now includes the area extend-\n Q 8 BRITISH COLUMBIA\ning to the United States border. The map can be purchased for $1, which includes\nthe 5-per-cent social services tax.\nHANDICRAFT DIRECTORY\nCopies of the tenth edition of this directory were distributed through the year\nto retail and wholesale firms, resorts, and other outlets. The directory lists producers in British Columbia who are interested in finding a market and who are in\na position to supply reasonable demands. The usual contact was made with Eastern\nCanadian Provinces interested in handicraft development. The four show-cases of\nB.C. handicrafts placed in the Empress Hotel last year are still on display, and\nhundreds of inquiries have been received from tourists for names of retail outlets\nhandling these items. At this time the Department would like to thank the management of the hotel for their continued kindness in permitting us to use their facilities\nfor exhibition purposes. Arrangements are under way to display made in British\nColumbia handicrafts in our new office in British Columbia House, San Francisco.\nSeveral handicraft articles have already been shipped for this purpose. It is hoped\nthat many inquiries will develop from an exhibit of this type.\nREGIONAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES\nRequests for this survey have been so heavy that it was necessary to print\nseveral hundred additional copies. The Immigration Department of the Federal\nGovernment requested 1,200 copies for distribution in the United States. These\nwere required after an item was placed in a United States periodical called \" The\nKiplinger Letter.\" To date more than 900 letters have been received by this branch\nof the Federal Government, and photostat copies of all correspondence have been\nsent to the Department for follow-up purposes. Two hundred additional inquiries\nwere received by the Department after an item was placed in our British Columbia\nGovernment News, and further inquiries are still being received.\nThe survey lists many investment opportunities in the fields of hotel and motel\nrequirements, housing developments, warehousing, and wholesale and retail outlets.\nThe suggestions were submitted by various Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce throughout British Columbia and certainly have resulted in stimulating the\nthinking of people who have capital to invest in British Columbia.\nCANADA-UNITED STATES DEFENCE PRODUCTION SHARING\nThe Department, working in co-operation with our San Francisco office and\nwith officials of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association and the Federal Government, has concentrated on the development of this project. Numerous companies\nwere written and information on the programme was provided to show how British\nColumbia firms can bid on United States defence contracts. Many British Columbia firms are now registered with Ottawa, thus putting them in a favourable position\nto bid on future contracts. Mr. F. C. MacKay, commercial representative for the\nDepartment, has worked very closely with Mr. R. Robinson, the Federal Government representative in Los Angeles, on developing this programme. This could be\na lucrative market for British Columbia firms, and it is the hope of the Department\nthat the project will develop successfully.\nBRITISH COLUMBIA INDUSTRIAL DESIGN COMMITTEE\nThe Committee includes representation from the Federal Department of Trade\nand Commerce; Provincial Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1961 Q 9\nCommerce; Department of Education; University of British Columbia; Canadian\nManufacturers' Association; Vancouver Board of Trade; Vancouver School of Art;\nBritish Columbia Research Council; Association of Professional Engineers of British Columbia; Canadian Association of Consumers; Architectural Institute of British Columbia; and Community Arts Council of Vancouver.\nThe purpose of the Committee is to encourage appreciation of industrial design\nand its importance as a factor in production and marketing of British Columbia\nproducts.\nThe Committee was very active throughout the year, and some of its activities\nincluded the setting-up of a ten-week course on industrial design through the Vancouver night-schools and in co-operation with the architectural centre. The class\nis under the direction of Mr. J. Johnstone, president of the British Columbia Industrial Design Committee. Other activities included making arrangements for a\nformal opening of the stainless-steel exhibition in the Vancouver Public Library;\nfinalizing plans to sponsor a school design award programme, resulting in the sum\nof $200 being set aside to cover the cost of the awards to be presented in 1961; and\nthe planning, designing, and construction of an industrial design exhibit which was\non display at the British Columbia International Trade Fair, held in Vancouver\nMay 3 to 13, 1961.\nPROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS' TRADE AND INDUSTRY COUNCIL\nThe Council members are official representatives of all the Provincial Governments' departments concerned with the development of trade and industry in\nCanada.\nThe aims of the Council are: To provide interprovincial consultation and\nco-operation on matters of trade and industrial development; to supply traders and\nmanufacturers from Canada and abroad with a nation-wide Provincial service in\nthese fields; and to promote greater understanding throughout Canada of the\neconomic conditions affecting the development of each of the Provinces and all of\nCanada.\nThis year the thirteenth annual conference was held in St. John's, Newfoundland, with the Industrial Commissioner being elected secretary-treasurer of the\nCouncil for the next two years.\nREGIONAL DEVELOPMENT\nAs in past years, the regional development work of the Department was carried\non extensively during 1961. This office continued to work closely with industrial\nestablishments, Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce, research organizations, and all other groups interested in or actively engaged in the industrial development of the Province of British Columbia. The close co-operation between the\nDepartment and these groups is a vital factor in the continued expansion of our\nexisting industries and the promotion of new industries.\nMany Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce were visited by members\nof the Department and assisted in their effort to locate new industries and commercial enterprises for their respective areas. Periodic field-trips were made by\nthe Industrial Commissioner and the Field Representative, in the course of which\nthey maintained the close liaison of past years with all regional groups engaged in\nthe general field of industrial development. Along with the Boards of Trade and\nChambers of Commerce, these groups include transportation and utility companies,\nbank branches and departments, and municipal officials.\n Q 10 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nMany inquiries received from companies and individuals were dealt with by\nthis office, and a great deal of general and specific information about the industrial\nopportunities in British Columbia was forwarded to them. Close contact was\nmaintained with the British Columbia Research Council, and numerous inquiries\nand problems were referred to that organization.\n1961 BRITISH COLUMBIA INTERNATIONAL TRADE FAIR\nThe second British Columbia International Trade Fair, sponsored by the\nDepartment, was opened in Vancouver on May 3rd by the Honourable W. A. C.\nBennett, Premier of British Columbia. In his opening remarks the Premier stressed\nthe importance of external trade to the economy of the Province and made a strong\nappeal for liberal trading policies among the nations of the world. The Trade Fair\nclosed on May 13th, and it was generally considered by all concerned to have been\na thoroughly imaginative and worth-while enterprise.\nDuring the ten-day period the fair was open, an estimated 5,000 buyers and\n150,000 visitors passed through the gates. The 140 exhibits were grouped in four\nsections\u2014the Hall of Nations, Hall of Commerce and Industry, Hall of Modern\nLiving, and the Automobile Pavilion.\nThe careful thought given by the Trade Fair directors to the general layout and\nco-ordination of design was strikingly evident in the pleasing and dignified over-all\neffect. The standard of exhibits was noticeably higher than at the first Trade Fair\nin 1958, and the interest shown by trade buyers and the general public was markedly\ngreater. This was due in great measure to the publicity arranged by the organizer\nand individual exhibitor and the great interest displayed by the local radio and\ntelevision stations.\nThe second British Columbia International Trade Fair, though not as large\nas some international trade fairs, was admirably staged and succeeded in attracting\na wide measure of interest among exhibitors from overseas, trade buyers, and the\ngeneral public. It brought home to the people of British Columbia the importance\nto the Province of two-way trade and illustrated the keen competition among manufacturing nations for the favour of the British Columbia customers.\nGovernment displays were done by Australia, Republic of China, Canada,\nCzechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Italy, West Germany, the Netherlands, and the\nUnited Kingdom. Most of these were extremely attractive composite displays of\nconsumer goods, including foodstuffs, but with an admixture, notably on the Czechoslovakia, Japanese, and the Netherlands stands, of machines and equipment for\nindustry.\nFor the space-age enthusiast, the United States Government's Mercury capsule,\ncomplete with dummy astronaut, was of great interest, as was the cut-away scale\nmodel of the United States atomic submarine \" Nautilus.\"\nThe mornings were reserved for trade buyers, while the afternoons and evenings\nwere for the general public.\nAmong the outer exhibits capturing popular appeal were the Lloyd's of London\nreplica of the Coffee House in London, replicas of the famous diamonds of the\nworld, and an outdoor exhibit of a 40-foot model of the Dutch liner \" Rotterdam,\"\nreputedly the largest model of a ship in the world.\nA daily International Fashion Show and the first Trans-Canada Car Rally were\nsupporting features. Both were well organized and won considerable interest.\nFashions from around the world had considerable appeal to the ladies. The worldwide interest in the Car Rally is such that it could become one of the leading international car events.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1961 Q 11\nThe Department would like to take the opportunity to thank Mr. W. J. Borrie,\nthe President of the Trade Fair and Chairman of Pemberton Securities Ltd., and\nhis able and public-spirited directors and staff for their whole-hearted support in\norganizing and staging a highly successful event.\nDEVELOPMENT OF EXTERNAL TRADE\nDuring the past year this office has continued its close association with the\nWestern Representative of the Department of Trade and Commerce, the British\nColumbia Products Bureau of the Vancouver Board of Trade, and the members\nof the Vancouver consular corps. The Administrative Assistant has continued his\nvisits to secondary industry of the Province to ascertain what products could be\nexported to foreign markets. Overseas markets for numerous products have been\nfound, and many additional firms have been included in the Canadian Exporters\nDirectory, a publication which is used by the Canadian Trade Commissioners serving all over the world for the development of exports.\nThe trade offices of the Department have under way a survey which will list all\nBritish Columbia manufacturers and agencies engaged in or interested in external\ntrade. This will be of considerable help to our Industrial and Trade Representatives\nin London, England, and San Francisco, California, and should help to increase our\nexport markets.\nWESTERN SPACE-AGE INDUSTRIES AND ENGINEERING EXPOSITION,\nAPRIL 25 TO 29, 1962, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA\nThe trade office, in co-operation with the Industrial and Trade Representative\nat British Columbia House, San Francisco, is arranging a small composite exhibit\nof selected items from the secondary industries of our Province. The objects of the\ndisplay are twofold: firstly, to promote British Columbia products in one of the\nmost important industrial buying regions of the United States of America, and,\nsecondly, to focus the attention of industry and commerce in this region on new\nfacilities at British Columbia House, 599 Market Street, San Francisco.\nTRADE AND INDUSTRY BULLETIN\nDuring the year under review the bulletin completed twelve years of continuous\npublication, listing trade inquiries, licence manufacturing opportunities, and news\nof commercial interest. The increased use of the bulletin by the trade representatives of other nations bears out the importance of this publication to the commercial\nand industrial organizations in Western Canada. The direct circulation of 650\ncopies per month is greatly increased by the kind co-operation of the Western Journal of Commerce, which reprints the items listed in the bulletin as a public service\nfeature. The Department appreciates this continued co-operation.\n Q 12 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nOFFICE OF THE AGENT-GENERAL FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA\nBRITISH COLUMBIA HOUSE, LONDON, ENGLAND\nGENERAL\nOn October 1, 1961, Dr. J. V. Fisher, former Economic Adviser to the British\nColumbia Government, succeeded Maj.-Gen. B. M. Hoffmeister as Agent-General.\nDuring his three years at British Columbia House, Major-General Hoffmeister carried out a number of business trips to the Continent. Particularly successful were his\ncontacts in respect to timber, plywood, pulp, and paper. In this context, meetings\nwere held in France and Belgium by the Agent-General in connection with the Common Market Timber Tour, scheduled to visit British Columbia in 1962. This tour\nwas announced by the Honourable R. W. Bonner during a visit to Prince George.\nThe Industrial and Trade Secretary arranged similar meetings in Germany and\nHolland.\nThe Deputy Agent-General, on the occasion of the establishment of Trans-\nCanada Air Lines' new Hudson Bay route, was able to visit the Province in order\nto discuss matters of mutual interest with various Government departments and to\nfamiliarize himself with the economy of the Province generally, and more particularly with the vast developments that are taking place in British Columbia.\nThe recent appointment of Mr. J. C. Stepler (late of the Southam Press) as\nPress Adviser to the High Commissioner at London improved greatly press reports\nconcerning Canadian affairs generally, and current indications suggest that an\nexpansion in British exports and an increase in the monetary reserves of the United\nKingdom will assist in the resumption of a satisfactory level in the exchange of goods\nand services between the Province and Great Britain.\nSETTLEMENT\nInquiry respecting settlement in the Province has been extremely light compared to previous years. This is occasioned for two reasons: first, that, as mentioned above, Canada's publicity is not good and intending settlers were warned\naway by the stories of unemployment in Canada; second, the standard of living\nin the British Isles has risen considerably over the past ten years, and as wages\nincrease and living conditions improve there is a lessening desire for people to emigrate. However, the office replied to some 485 letters regarding immigration, and\nover the counter and by telephone attended to another 350 inquiries.\nSCHOOL-TEACHERS\nFacilities of the office were placed at the disposal of the Department of Education in the recruitment of school-teachers. A scheme was entered into, but it was\nnot nearly so comprehensive as in past years. In the first place, the number of\nvacancies was less than a year ago and appointments were made by correspondence\nand not given directly by a recruitment officer from the Department as in former\nyears. The number of applications was considerably less than last year, caused\napparently by the fact that school-teachers (especially in the secondary-school categories, which are quite well paid in the United Kingdom) are less inclined to reach\nfor something unknown when their conditions at home have improved. Only a\nmere handful of teachers went forward this year.\nSTAFF\nThe transfer of Miss Elspeth Macdonald to San Francisco enabled the promotion of Miss Barbara McCaul as secretary to the Agent-General and the appointment\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1961 Q 13\nof a former resident of British Columbia, Miss Audrey Mortlock, as secretary to the\nDeputy Agent-General after suitable advertising.\nVISITORS\nDuring 1961 some 3,295 visitors registered at British Columbia House, and\nduring the year the reception staff handled some 21,700 letters for visitors. This is\nquite a considerable increase over last year, which indicates that more and more\nBritish Columbians are visiting Europe. We are pleased to see this trend, as it gives\nour people from the Province a closer insight from personal contact with the problems facing Europe, and at the same time affords them an opportunity of renewing\nfamily and other ties with this country.\nFILMS AND PUBLICITY\nDistribution of British Columbia films in the United Kingdom from British\nColumbia House for the year ended December, 1961, amounted to 487 showings\nto audiences totalling 31,764. Our library of films has been augmented by a few\nadditional subjects, but we must stress the great need of extra films to assist in\npublicizing the industrial opportunities of British Columbia. The value which\naccrues from this form of publicity cannot be overstressed, and we find it imperative\nto replace worn-out films by new ones, greatly to enlarge the number available and\nto improve the type of films in order adequately to meet modern trends and public\nrequirements.\nThe publicizing of British Columbia has been supplemented through the\nmedium of the news-letter, which is widely distributed and regarded highly by its\nrecipients. Furthermore, technical pamphlets have been widely circulated to\nattract the attention of bankers, credit corporations, and, more particularly, potential users of British Columbia products. Visits to Europe, however, have demonstrated clearly that publicizing of British Columbia and its potentials must be\nincreased greatly, owing to the lack of positive and effective information. Solicitations have been made to persuade interested and potential exporters to assist British\nColumbia House in this particular endeavour.\nTOURISM\nDiscussions took place between this office and Dr. D. B. Turner, the Deputy\nMinister of Recreation and Conservation, with a view to encouraging more travel\nfrom the British Isles to British Columbia. It has been decided to take over some\nof the ground-floor space in British Columbia House, including one window on\nRegent Street, and there to set up a tourist office and exhibition area. The function\nof this office would be to disseminate information about the Province and at the\nsame time afford space for British Columbia exporters to display the products of\nthe Province. Plans are being drawn at the moment for the conversion of the\nexisting space to our needs.\nADMINISTRATION\nNecessary action was taken to renovate and modernize the offices of the\nDeputy Agent-General and the Industrial and Trade Secretary. These offices now\nconform to the attractive modern appearance of the rest of the decorative scheme.\nCertain leases have been renewed during the year at most favourable rentals,\nwhich has meant a substantial increase in income.\n Q 14 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nSALES PROMOTION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA PRODUCTS\nThe question of the United Kingdom participating in the European Common\nMarket is still unresolved, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that if British\nColumbia goods are to maintain their place, further efforts must be made in the\npromotion of sales, not only in the United Kingdom, but more particularly in the\nvarious countries participating in the E.E.C. (European Common Market) and the\nE.F.T.A. (Outer Seven).\nIt cannot be overemphasized by this Department that the sale of British Columbia goods within these areas must be planned and that British Columbia producers\nmust take a more active part in the expanding markets of all the countries participating in these new and lucrative trading areas.\nIt is therefore recommended once again that more British Columbia businessmen visit Europe and see for themselves what the possibilities are, take time to make\ntheir own contacts, and whenever possible establish their own branch sales offices\nin either or both the United Kingdom and Continental Europe.\nThis office has received many inquiries from British Columbia firms who wish\nto export or become established in some way in these expanding markets. We feel\nthat any such moves will benefit the economy of our Province and thus serve to\ncreate more employment in British Columbia.\nTRADE INQUIRIES FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA\nDuring 1961 (up to the end of November) eighty-nine British Columbia firms\nmade inquiries through this office. As a result of these inquiries, some useful contacts were initiated. In some cases direct sales were effected. It is pointed out,\nhowever, that the initial sale of British Columbia products made by Government\nofficials in an office such as this is only a start to a continuing trade being developed.\nIt is therefore suggested that once an initial contact is made, British Columbia producers send over representatives who would be able to quote prices, attractive credit\nterms, and ensure early and continuing deliveries.\nAs examples, this office has arranged for the Saanich Fruit Growers' Association to sell 20 tons of fresh frozen loganberries to British processors and for the sale\nof bulk honey from the Fort St. John area. These must be regarded as only the\nstart of continuing trade, which has every prospect of assuming considerable proportions, as the superior quality of British Columbia specialty food products is\nrecognized in Europe.\nThe number of inquiries received from various countries during the first eleven\nmonths of 1961 was as follows:\u2014\nUnited Kingdom , 205\nFrance 12\nGermany 23\nNetherlands 12\nScandinavia 31\nItaly 21\nSwitzerland 10\nBelgium 10\nOther countries - 12\nTotal 336\nThese inquiries are of every type and are broken down under the following\nheadings: Agencies, commodities, or machinery requiring special service; retail\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1961 Q 15\noutlets; wholesale distribution; mill, factory, branch-plant establishment; licence\nmanufacture; partial manufacture or assembly; professional services; investment;\npersonal immigration (where it concerns establishment of a business).\nDuring 1961 eleven firms established sales offices or appointed permanent\nagents in British Columbia. There are many more British and European firms who\nrequire representatives able to organize distribution throughout the Western Canadian Provinces, thus taking advantage of the low freight rates prevailing via the\nPanama route. Inquiries from interested British Columbia firms and individuals\nare therefore invited.\nThe Agent-General and the Industrial and Trade Secretary represented British\nColumbia on a mission of Provincial Government purchasing agents, organized by\nthe United Kingdom Government and the Dollar Exports Council. Visits were\nmade to factories of firms producing hospital equipment, road-building machinery,\nand educational supplies. The object of the mission was to encourage further\nCanadian purchases from British sources in these particular fields.\nLICENCE MANUFACTURE\nToo much stress cannot be laid on the possibilities for the licence manufacture\nof European products in Western Canada. This pattern of trade is becoming more\nand more important throughout the world, and it is felt that great opportunities\nexist in British Columbia if such agreements are concluded.\nLicence manufacture is an excellent method of using extra plant capacity which\nmight be available in engineering firms and factories in the Province, and could be\nof special interest to smaller communities who wish to establish new industries\nserving their particular district.\nAlthough this office received many inquiries on this matter from various European and United Kingdom firms, few definite offers from the Province have been\nreceived, and it is feared that this medium for increasing the secondary industry\nof the Province is not fully appreciated.\nINVESTMENT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA\nThe transfer of sterling funds and funds from European sources to Canada\nslowed up considerably during 1961 because of restrictions imposed by the United\nKingdom and European Governments, and because of the unfavourable publicity\ngiven to Canada in general over the last two years. Also investment in the Common\nMarket countries has become more attractive.\nHowever, despite these difficulties, we are pleased to report that inquiries were\nreceived from seventeen firms wishing to invest capital in the Province.\nVisible evidence of the desire of British investors to participate in the growth\nof British Columbia's economy can be seen in two developments: the expansion of\nthe Park Royal shopping centre in West Vancouver by the Guinness interests and the\nopening in May this year of the Fidelity Life Building in Vancouver, financed by the\nCanadian subsidiaries of the Friends Provident & Century Insurance Offices of\nLondon.\nThere has been an increase in the amount of capital transferred by emigrants\nfrom Germany, Holland, the United Kingdom, and from the countries of Southern\nAfrica.\nBUSINESS IMMIGRATION\nThere has been a gratifying increase over the last few months of businessmen\nand successful farmers from various parts of the world wishing to move their capital\nand become established in British Columbia. People of this type make, we feel,\n Q 16 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nthe best immigrants to the Province, inasmuch as they bring in capital and establish\nbusiness or agricultural enterprises of various kinds. But they do ask for definite\noffers, and the more suggestions of business or farm opportunities we can receive\nat this office, the better we can advise such inquirers.\nCOMMON MARKET TIMBER TOUR, 1962\nDuring the year considerable time was devoted to preparing for a party of timber importers and representatives of the timber trade and user associations from\nGermany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Italy to visit the Province in 1962.\nThis tour, sponsored by the Government of British Columbia in co-operation\nwith the British Columbia Lumber Manufacturers' Association, the Plywood Association of British Columbia, the Council of Forest Industries of British Columbia,\nand the Interior lumber associations, will take place in May. The delegates will\nrepresent importers, users, and organizations concerned with the promotion of\nBritish Columbia softwoods as a building material. It is expected that this tour\nwill have a most beneficial effect on the sale and use of British Columbia timber,\nplywoods, and other forest products throughout the Common Market countries.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1961 Q 17\nBUREAU OF ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS\nBefore proceeding to review the work accomplished by the Bureau of Economics and Statistics during 1961, it may be useful to explain that the Bureau is\na fact-finding and advisory body. It has two primary functions: the first is to provide economic counsel and, when necessary, to conduct investigations into economic\nquestions affecting the Province; the second function is to collect and compile\neconomic statistics of interest to the Province.\nTo ensure technical proficiency, the Bureau has endeavoured to follow the\npolicy of building up a small corps of professionally trained persons who can be\nrelied upon to perform a variety of difficult economic analyses. It has also been\nthe policy to make the services of the technical personnel continuously available to\nall other departments of the Government.\nSince other Government agencies are also concerned with the collection of\nstatistics, a series of working agreements designed to prevent overlapping or duplication has been arranged in recent years between this Bureau and the Dominion\nBureau of Statistics, Ottawa, as well as with the Provincial Departments of Mines\nand Petroleum Resources, Labour, Provincial Secretary, Health Services and Hospital Insurance, and Social Welfare. During 1961 the essential statistical services\nperformed for the other Provincial departments as well as for the Department of\nindustrial Development, Trade, and Commerce were maintained. A description\nfollows of the various services performed during the year.\nECONOMIC RESEARCH\nOne of the Bureau's functions is to provide economic counsel to the Government. This is done partly through the medium of a weekly report to the Premier\nand to the Minister of each department. This report reviews significant events and\ndevelopments in the field of economics. As well, from time to time, technical assistance is given to the various branches of the Government as it is requested. There\nare many publications prepared to keep government and industry informed on\ncurrent business conditions. The two most widely distributed are the Monthly\nBulletin of Business Activity, containing a brief description of current changes in\nmonthly business indicators, plus statistical tables and charts, and the Annual Summary of Business Activity, recording the past year's performance and including\nnumerous charts and historical series illustrating the economic position of the Province. In recent years an executive opinion poll has been conducted at the end of\neach year to gauge the outlook of industry for the coming year.\nMany requests are received for information dealing with the Provincial economy from private individuals, corporations, trade-unions, newspapers, business publications, and Boards of Trade. The Bureau's files and library contain much of the\ninformation requested, but often special surveys and considerable research are\nnecessary.\nThe annual study of wage rates for selected occupations in the metropolitan\nareas of Vancouver and Victoria and centres in northern and southern areas of the\nProvince was again prepared and published. The Civil Service Commision, as well\nas other Government agencies and the public, was provided with these comparative\nwage rates.\n Q 18 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nEconomic Activity in British Columbia, 1959, 1960, and 1961\nUnit cr\nBase\nPeriod\n1959\n1960\n1961\nPreliminary\nEstimates\nMining\u2014\n$000\n$000\n$000\n$000\n$000\n$000\n$000\n$000\n$000\n$000\n$000\nM b.m.\nMb.m.\nTons\nTons\n$000\nCases\n$000\n$000\nBushels\nBushels\nMft.\nRf.

The general view-point expressed in the Commission's report was in fact parallel to that incorporated in British\nColumbia's brief. The publication of the second volume of the Commission's report,\ndealing with local, regional, and industrial problems, has just been received and is\nbeing carefully scrutinized by the Province's experts on freight rates. While it is\ntoo early to endorse the report in full, it appears that many features of it coincide\nwith British Columbia's original proposals.\nThe Bureau assisted many industries through the negotiation of freight rates.\nOf particular note was the rate established for the copper mines in the Merritt area.\nThis settlement has helped to set the pattern for the export rate on copper.\nExternal Trade\nSpecial interest in trade with Japan and the rapid changes taking place in the\ntrading patterns of Western Europe resulted in a steady damand for a variety of external-trade statistics. Special reports and compilations were prepared for members\nof the Government and senior departmental officials in connection with visits to\nJapan, the United Kingdom, and the Continent.\nDuring the year numerous requests for statistical data on imports and exports\nwere answered. These requests originated from a wide variety of inquiries, which\nincluded commercial, industrial, and trading organizations, foreign governments,\nuniversities, libraries, and private individuals, and other Government departments.\nIn obtaining this material, extensive use was made of the statistics on trade through\nBritish Columbia customs ports compiled by the Department's tabulation division,\nusing punch cards received each month.\nTwo major trade reports were published during the year. The first was the\nAnnual Preliminary Statement of External Trade, which was distributed to some\n600 interested parties. The other report was a revised edition of a listing of imported items indicating potential \" import replacement \" industries.\nOther activities included preparation of statistical and written material for the\nBureau's annual and monthly reports.\nThe two tables following summarize the external trade of British Columbia\nfrom 1950 to 1960.

Also, one of its duties is to assist other departments\nin the compilation of statistical information and to assist in establishing uniform\nstatistical methods throughout the service. In addition, it co-operates with other\nstatistical bureaux in the elimination of duplication and answers inquiries relating\nto statistical data. Following is a brief outline of the Bureau's activities in this field.\nCo-operative Statistical Agreements\nOver the years the Bureau of Economics and Statistics has entered into several\nco-operative statistical agreements with the Dominion Bureau of Statistics with the\nobject being to eliminate wasteful duplications of collection and to improve the\nover-all efficiency of surveys. Fields of co-operation include practically all branches\nof the Bureau's work where regular statistical collection is involved. The latest\nagreements concluded are those relating to labour statistics and electric-power\nstatistics.\nConferences between the Provincial and Federal statistical bureaux are now\nheld annually. As a consequence, it is anticipated that continued progress toward\nthe elimination of duplication will be made.\nIn addition, conferences are now held periodically with the Federal Department\nof Labour, and the elimination of duplication is under way, especially in the fields of\ntrade-union statistics and working-conditions statistics. In respect to forestry statistics, a meeting with Federal authorities has been suggested for 1962 to determine\nways to improve coverage and collection of returns. Co-operative agreements\nhave resulted in savings to governments, to union secretaries, and to private industry.\nBritish Columbia Cost-of-food Survey\nThe regular compilation of the quarterly cost-of-food index for Vancouver,\nVictoria, and New Westminster was carried on during 1961. Trade-unions, individuals, and Government departments were supplied with information on food costs\nduring the year.\nForestry\nThe primary and secondary forest industries of British Columbia comprise the\nmost important industrial group in the Province. In 1959 the industry produced\n70 per cent of the lumber sawn in Canada, 12 per cent of the pulp, and approximately 80 per cent of the plywood produced in Canada. Also in 1959 the industry\nprovided employment for some 67,000 people, who received some $293,000,000\nin salaries and wages.\nBritish Columbia's most important primary industry, the logging industry, cut\na record 7,074,486,000 board-feet of timber during 1960, an increase of 15 per cent\nover the 1959 cut. Operations in the Coast region accounted for 4,209,341,000\nboard-feet, with hemlock the leading species at 1,450,897,000 board-feet, followed\nby Douglas fir at 1,179,465,000 board-feet. Interior operations cut the remaining\n2,865,145,000 board-feet, with Douglas fir the leading species at 1,108,371,000\nboard-feet, followed by spruce at 951,384,000 board-feet. The total cut (timber\nscaled) for 1961 is estimated to be 6,700,000,000 board-feet, a decrease of 6 per\ncent from the 1960 cut. Heavy inventories together with an extreme fire season\nhave resulted in this decrease.\n Q 28 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nPrincipal Statistics of the Forest Industries in British Columbia, 1959 (Preliminary)\nIndustry\nEstablishments\nEmployees\n(Number)\nSalaries\nand\nWages\nCost of\nFuel and\nElectricity\nCost at\nPlant of\nMaterials\nUsed\nValue of\nFactory\nShipments\nValue\nAdded by\nManufacture1\n225~\n198\n1,358\n17\n66\n17,056\n$000\n90.780\n$000\n$000\n22.756\n$000\n257,650\n$000\n234,894\nFurniture\t\nSash, door, and planing mills\n2,105\n3,741\n27,289\n6,483\n1,033\n7,877\n14,576\n100,664\n25,080\n3,793\n234\n1,190\n6,197\n1,196\n274\n12,246\n51,307\n188,547\n43,115\n10,031\n24,734\n78,975\n363,035\n83.818\n12,255\n26,688\n168,292\n38.958\nMiscellaneous wood-using industries \t\n1\n17,070 | 7,247\nSub-totals, wood-using\nindustries\t\n1,864\n40,651\n151,990\n9,091\n305,246\n567,632 j 253,440\n15\n13\n9\n1,311\n7,637\n175\n5,276\n43,832\n640\n220\n12,717\n23\n16,726\n86,417\n1,506\n28,694\n240,679\n2,604\n12,983\nPulp and paper \t\nMiscellaneous paper-using industries _\t\n140,879\n1,106\nSub-totals, pulp and\npaper _\t\n37\n9,123\n49,748\n12,960\n104,649\ni\n' 271,977 | 154,968\n66,830\n292,518\n432,651\n1,097,259\n643,302\n1 Value added by manufacture (net value): Value of factory shipments plus or minus changes in inventories\nof finished goods and goods in process, less cost of materials, fuel, and electricity.\nSource: Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa.\nDuring 1960 British Columbia's most important single industry, the lumber\nindustry, produced 5,468,000,000 board-feet of lumber. Mills in the Coast region\nproduced 2,808,000,000 board-feet, while those in the Interior produced 2,660,-\n000,000 board-feet. In 1945 Interior mills produced only 20 per cent of the lumber\nsawn in British Columbia; now they are producing practically 50 per cent of the\ntotal. Lumber production in 1961 is estimated to be 5,800,000,000 board-feet, an\nincrease of 6 per cent over 1960's total.\nThe pulp and paper mills of the Province during 1959 used 1,999,000 cords of\npulpwood and 1,099,000 cords of waste wood (sawmill and veneer-mill chips, etc.)\nto produce 1,884,000 tons of pulp. Over half of the pulp produced was used in\nthe Province to make 1,045,834 tons of paper. The pulp-mills produced 2,062,000\ntons of pulp in 1960, and it is estimated that they produced 2,250,000 tons in 1961.\nThe pulp and paper industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in British\nColumbia. In 1950 the net value of the industry accounted for 13 per cent of the\ntotal net value of the forest industry; in 1959 it accounted for 22 per cent of the\ntotal net value. The portion of the total net value accounted for by the lumber\nindustry, for the same period, decreased from 36 per cent in 1950 to 26 per cent\nin 1959.\nDuring the year the Bureau handled a large number of requests from the\nindustry and other Government departments. The previously published Statistical\nRecord of the Logging Industry was up-dated to December 31, 1960.\nMining\nThe Bureau collects and compiles production statistics on all minerals with the\nexception of coal, natural gas, and petroleum. These statistics are published in\ndetail in the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources.\nThe preliminary estimate of mineral production in British Columbia for 1961\nis approximately $182,000,000, up about 1.2 per cent from the 1960 value of\n$179,849,790, and is the highest value ever attained for a single year, except for\n1956, when the value reached $190,067,465.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1961 Q 29\nFinal figures for 1960 show that the principal metals, consisting of placer and\nlode gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc, accounted for $112,843,187 or 63 per\ncent of total mineral production for that year, compared with a total of $93,651,572\nfor the previous year. All of these metals, with the exception of placer gold, showed\nan increase over 1959. Miscellaneous metals amounted to $17,714,969 or 10 per\ncent of total mineral production. The corresponding figure for 1959 was $11,424,-\n134. Increased shipments of iron concentrates and nickel were mainly responsible\nfor the higher figure in 1960.\nIndustrial minerals totalled $15,992,776, as against $14,028,058 in 1959, with\nasbestos showing the greatest increase. The value of industrial minerals represented\nroughly 9 per cent of total mineral production.\nStructural materials is the only general category that decreased in 1960 relative\nto 1959. The 1960 total of $18,829,989 was down only slightly, however, from the\n1959 figure of $19,025,209.\nAs in past years, the fuels section of mineral production continued to register\nan increase over the previous year. The 1960 total of $14,468,869 represents a\n26-per-cent increase over 1959.\nThere was an actual increase in the quantity of coal produced in 1960, but the\naverage price dropped from $7.93 to $6.64 per short ton, with the result that the\nvalue of coal shows a lesser amount than for 1959. There was a substantial increase\nin the quantity of natural gas delivered to pipe-lines, whereas there was a slight\ndecrease in the production of crude petroleum. Subsequent years will, of course,\nshow substantial increases in petroleum production now that access to markets has\nbeen provided by the Taylor-Kamloops pipe-line.\nLabour\nContinuing with the Federal-Provincial arrangement concerning British Columbia labour statistics, the Bureau of Economics and Statistics again prepared the\nstatistical section for the Annual Report of the British Columbia Department of\nLabour on the same basis as used by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa.\nA summary of the findings for the year 1960 and the first ten months of 1961\nare contained under heading of \" Statistical Report on Trades and Industries \" in\nthe Annual Report of the Department of Labour for the current year.\nProvision for monthly data on payrolls and employment has now become\npossible through the regular processing of current monthly information received\nfrom Federal sources. The broad field of regional distribution of statistical material\nfrom this source has to be explored, and further joint Federal-Provincial discussions\nare planned for later this year, when attendant problems in this connection may be\nresolved and the way opened for further progress in this direction.\nIn the realm of labour statistics, projects completed during the year included\nthe following:\u2014\n(1) Statistical sections for the 1961 Annual Report of the British Columbia\nDepartment of Labour.\n(2) The 1961 survey of British Columbia salary and wage rates.\n(3) A study of wage and salary rates in industry and business, by various\nareas, prepared for the Civil Service Commission, Victoria, B.C.\n(4) A directory of trade-unions and labour organizations, completed together\nwith a survey of organized labour in British Columbia, for the Department of Labour.\n(5) A survey of clerical salary rates in the Vancouver area, tabulated for the\nVancouver Board of Trade.\n Q 30 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nAnd continuing work in the maintenance of current labour statistics in use by the\nBureau.\nThe following table shows the estimated annual labour income totals in British\nColumbia for the years 1947 to 1961:\u2014\nEstimated Annual Labour Income in British Columbia\nYear Annual Income Year Annual Income\n1947 $641,000,000 1955 $1,426,000,000\n1948 794,000,000 1956.. 1,649,000,000\n1949 825,000,000 1957 ._ 1,765,000,000\n1950 915,000,000 1958 1,755,000,000\n1951 1,072,000,000 1959 1,897,000,000\n1952 1,214,000,000 1960 1,998,000,000\n1953 1,279,000,000 1961 2,020,000,000\n1954 1,302,000,000\nSource: Estimates of Labour Income, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa.\nMARKET RESEARCH\nKeen interest is being shown by business and industry in the market potentiai\nof the Province, and a large and varied number of requests is received for market\ndata and assessments of industrial and commercial opportunities.\nThe Bureau of Economics and Statistics is continually on the alert to detect\nproducts which present a good opportunity for local manufacture, and in this connection has prepared several industry studies, including two completed this year,\n\"Asbestos Products in British Columbia \" and the \" Confectionery Industry.\"\nAnother aspect of market research which has continued to receive attention\nrelates to the study of specific areas of the Province. The Kamloops study was\nreleased this year, and work is now progressing on surveys of the Kelowna and\nFernie areas.\nPUBLICATIONS\nMonthly Bulletin of Business Activity. \u2014 This publication contains special\narticles of current interest and also incorporates a monthly review of current changes\nin the principal segments of the Provincial economy.\nSummary of Business Activity in British Columbia.\u2014This publication is a\ncompanion of the above publication.

This publication contains up-to-date information about the location and development of British Columbia resources. It is well documented with\nmaps and diagrams. It is also published in German and French translations for\ndistribution abroad.\n Q 32 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nMECHANICAL TABULATION DIVISION\nThe Mechanical Tabulation Division continued to operate as the data-processing centre for those departments of the Government requiring the services of electronic equipment to handle computing and large-scale statistical or accounting\nprocedures.\nTo meet the demands for more complex computations, a magnetic drum computer was added to the equipment at the beginning of the year. The installation of\nthe computer has greatly added to the scope of work that can be handled in the\nDivision, and most of the applications are new work that could not previously be\nhandled because of the limitation of the conventional punched-card equipment.\nAll the equipment is rented on a monthly basis, and although no charge is\nmade to the users, job costs are maintained through a time-card system, enabling the\nDivision to assess the value of work done for each department. Machine utilization\nstudies and a check of machine operating efficiency are also available from these\nrecords.\nFor operating purposes the Division is divided into seven sections, each responsible for a unit of work, which is determined by the volume and nature of work\ninvolved. At present the following sections are in operation: Health and Welfare\nSection, Liquor Control Board Section, Forestry Section, Annual Report Section,\nGeneral Statistical Section, Computing Section, and Key Punch Section. Each of\nthese sections is headed by a senior member of the staff, who is responsible for the\nparticular unit of work.\nIn addition to these sections, the British Columbia Hospital Insurance Service\nand the British Columbia Forest Service maintain Key Punch Sections, whose work\nis tabulated on the equipment in this Division.\nTo operate the equipment, a well-trained staff has to be maintained and at\npresent consists of a supervisor, an assistant supervisor, a computer programmer,\na console operator, five senior machine operators, seven machine operators, one keypunch supervisor, fourteen key-punch operators, and one senior clerk-stenographer.\nIn addition, three members of the Liquor Control Board staff are attached to the\nDivision to maintain liaison and handle clerical functions in conjunction with their\nwork.\nDuring the first year the Computer Section has been operated on a semi-open-\nshop basis, with programmers from the various departments writing the programmes\nfor their particular applications, which were tested and debugged with the assistance\nof our staff programmer. Once the programmes have been proved, they are left with\nour staff for the routine computing procedures.\nAll applications for new work on the computer are submitted to the Electronic\nData Processing Committee for approval.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1961\nComparative Cost Statement\nQ 33\nDepartment and Branch\nAgriculture\u2014\nHorticultural Branch\t\nHerd Improvement Branch\t\nTotals\t\nAttorney-General\u2014\nCredit Union \t\nSecurities Office \t\nFire Marshal Act\t\nOfficial Committee \t\nMotor-vehicle Branch-\u2014\t\nLiquor Control Board- ____.\nTotals _ ;..___\nEducation\u2014\nGeneral Administration\t\nTests, Standards, and Research .\nHigh School Correspondence\t\nTotals \u2014\nFinance\u2014\nMinister's Office \t\nMechanical Tabulation _\nTotals \t\nForest Service\u2014\nEngineering Services\t\nForest Surveys \t\nForest Management -\nTotals \t\nHealth Services and Hospital Insurance-\nVital Statistics.\t\nHospital Insurance Service ,\t\nTotals \t\nHighways\u2014\nBridge Engineering Branch \t\nLocations Branch \u2014 . \t\nResearch and Development \t\nTotals,.. __\nIndustrial Development, Trade, and Commerce\u2014Bureau of Economics and Statistics _ _ _\t\nLabour\u2014General Administration\t\nLands\u2014\nSurveys and Mapping, Legal Surveys Division \u2014_\t\nGeographic Division.\u2014 \t\nWater Rights Branch Administration\nHydraulic Investigation \t\nTotals . _\t\nProvincial Secretary\u2014\nQueen's Printer . \t\nSuperannuation Branch \t\nCivil Service Commission\t\nTotals \t\nRecreation and Conservation\u2014\nParks Branch\u2014 .\nSocial Welfare\u2014Accounts Division\t\nMunicipal Affairs\u2014Regional Planning\t\nCommercial Transport\u2014Industrial Transport \t\nOther\u2014B.C.

A. C. Bennett, Premier of\nBritish Columbia, assisted by the Honourable R. W. Bonner, Q.C., Attorney-General\nand Minister of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce, who used a chain\nsaw to cut a log, symbolic of British Columbia's major basic industry.\nSpeakers at the ceremonies included the Honourable Glenn Anderson, Lieutenant-Governor of California; His Honour Mayor George Christopher of San\nFrancisco; the Honourable E. C. Westwood, Minister of Recreation and Conservation; Dr. A. E. Ault, Canadian Counsul-General, San Francisco; and Mr. N. P.\nSteacy, Commissioner for Trade and Tourism, in charge at British Columbia House.\nAccompanying the Premier in his official party were the Honourable R. G.\nWilliston, Minister of Lands and Forests; the Honourable W. N. Chant, Minister\nof Public Works; the Honourable W. D. Black, Provincial Secretary; the Honourable L. R. Peterson, Minister of Education; the Honourable Mrs. Buda Brown,\nMinister without Portfolio; Mr. Donald Smith, M.L.A. for Victoria; Mr. Waldo\nSkillings, M.L.A. for Victoria; and Mr. Donald Robinson, M.L.A. for Lillooet.\nDuring the ceremonies Mrs. Newton Steacy was hostess to Mrs. W. A. C. Bennett\nand other ladies visiting from British Columbia and from San Francisco, including\nladies of the San Francisco press.\nThe City of San Francisco provided an honour guard in a motor cavalcade of\npolice for the Premier and his party, escorting them through the city to British Columbia House. An escort of Royal Canadian Mounted Police formed an honour\nguard at the office. Five young ladies, Tourist Counsellors of the British Columbia\nGovernment ferry service, acted as hostesses during the opening ceremonies.\nAt the opening, 887 visitors attended, seventy-four registering from British\nColumbia. Since the opening, 2,088 visitors have registered and approximately\n2,200 additional visitors have called.\nPremier Bennett paid an official visit to the office of Mayor George Christopher\nand received the key to the city in appreciation for the establishment of British Columbia House in San Francisco. His Honour cited the close associations existing\nthrough the years between California and British Columbia. At a later date Mayor\nChristopher received Commissioner Newton P. Steacy at the City Hall, presenting\nhim with the key to the city, with complimentary commendations, and congratulating\nthe foresight of the Government of British Columbia for opening the offices in California to promote trade, industry, and tourism between the two countries.\nMany British Columbians use British Columbia House as a mailing address\nand the facilities of the office and staff to assist them in making their visit in California more pleasant and informative.\nThere have been many inquiries regarding emigration to British Columbia, the\npurchase of land, the establishment of businesses, investments, the purchase of\nmotels, hotels, housing development possibilities, resorts, marinas, and general\nopportunities.\nSTAFF\nMr. Newton P. Steacy _.. Commissioner for Trade and Tourism.\nMr. F. C. MacKay Commercial Representative.\nMr. A. E. Abram Tourist Trade Representative.\nMiss Elspeth MacDonald Secretary.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1961 Q 37\nFILMS\nFrom our present library since September 1, 1961, to November 30, 1961, we\nhave shown our 16-mm. colour sound pictures to audiences of 7,375. The films\nfeature hunting, fishing, and the scenic beauties of British Columbia. Our film\nlibrary will be increased to embrace industrial development and tourist areas.\nCANADA-UNITED STATES DEFENCE PRODUCTION\nSHARING PROGRAMME\nBritish Columbia House has established liaison with the various procurement\noffices of the United States Department of Defence (Army, Navy, and Air Force)\nin the San Francisco Bay area in an effort to assist British Columbia manufacturers\ninterested in participating in this programme. We have also kept in contact with the\nLiaison Officer of the Canadian Department of Defence Production in Los Angeles,\nwho has kept us posted on the developments in his area to enable us to advise British\nColumbia manufacturers of activities in the Los Angeles district.\nApproximately 9 billion dollars of the total United States appropriation for\ndefence work is placed in California and its adjoining States. There appear to be\nnumerous items in which British Columbia firms could submit bids.\nA survey of British Columbia firms interested in this type of production has\nbeen conducted to determine their capabilities for defence production. When this\nhas been completed, selected \" invitations for bids \" and \" requests for proposals \"\nwill be forwarded directly to these companies having the capability and production\nfacilities to bid competitively.\nUp to the end of November, 1961, forty-three British Columbia firms have\nregistered with British Columbia House in San Francisco for participation in the\nCanada-United States Defence Production Sharing Programme. There are many\nmore opportunities for British Columbia manufacturers to share in the programme\nas sub-contractors. It would be of advantage for them to have their representatives\ncall on the prime contractors on the West Coast to make their capabilities and production facilities known to these United States firms or provide British Columbia\nHouse with greater detail to allow us to act in their interests. British Columbia\nHouse personnel will give every assistance possible.\nWESTERN SPACE AGE INDUSTRIES AND\nENGINEERING EXPOSITION\nBritish Columbia House has contracted to take 360 square feet of display area\nin the Western Space Age Industries and Engineering Exposition to be held in the\nCow Palace in San Francisco from April 25 to 29, 1962. This space is made available to British Columbia manufacturers for the display of their products. The\nexposition is being sponsored by the United States Department of Defence in cooperation with the Governments of the thirteen western States. This will allow our\nBritish Columbia manufacturers an excellent opportunity to meet the procurement\nofficers and prime contractors of the West Coast as well as the general purchasing\nagents of California.\nINDUSTRIAL AND TRADE INQUIRIES\nNumerous inquiries have been received at British Columbia House resulting\nin contacts being made in industrial areas and trade centres. This has become an\ninteresting part of our work. Although this type of work is time-consuming and\nconcrete results are difficult to assess, it is felt by this office that this form of pro-\n Q 38 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nmotional work is invaluable in making the Province of British Columbia and British\nColumbia House well known in the San Francisco Bay area. California firms are\npresently investigating the potential of British Columbia as a site for Canadian-based\noperations, ranging from a sales office to the establishment of a branch manufacturing plant.\nTRADE INQUIRIES FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA\nIn the comparatively short time that British Columbia House, San Francisco,\nhas been open, many British Columbia businessmen have called personally at the\noffice, while many others have written for assistance in exploring the California\nmarket. Several products of British Columbia manufacturers are being promoted\nfor sale in the San Francisco Bay area. These products include heavy industrial\nmachinery, building material, consumer goods, and special services. The services\nand facilities of British Columbia House are available to our manufacturers, including a large display area in which their products can be attractively displayed along\nwith pictures, brochures, and all forms of printed matter.\nPersonal contacts are advisable in finalizing sales. We suggest that many\nBritish Columbia firms would benefit from periodic trips to this market, which has\na population greater than all Canada. British Columbia House will gladly cooperate with them in every way to assist them in making contacts and securing information. To date fifteen British Columbia firms have been in contact with this\noffice concerning the possible sale of their products in California.\nLICENCE MANUFACTURE AGREEMENTS\nEvery effort is being made to interest California manufacturing firms in the\nadvantages of having a British Columbia firm produce their products under licence\nor royalty arrangement. Many British Columbia producers have the facilities to\nundertake extra production.\nINVESTMENTS\nContinuous liaison is being maintained between British Columbia House and\nfinancial interests in the San Francisco Bay area. There is considerable interest\nin British Columbia as a capital investment area. Contact made through this office\nhas assisted a group of San Francisco businessmen, headed by a former Canadian,\nnegotiating for the development of a large marina resort and a subdivision. This will\nrequire the investment of a large sum of money.\nPUBLICITY\nThe data issued in the Government bulletins, booklets, brochures, and reports\nhave been valuable in supplying information covering industrial development and\nnatural resources. The booklets issued by the Department of Lands and Forests,\nsupplying information on every part of the Province, are in demand by persons\ninterested in emigrating to British Columbia. Mining brochures have created considerable interest, and the statistical reports and \" Establishing a Business in British\nColumbia,\" published by the Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and\nCommerce, have all proven their value.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1961 Q 39\nBRITISH COLUMBIA RESEARCH COUNCIL\nThe Minister of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce is ex officio\nchairman of the board of management of the British Columbia Research Council,\nand as such presided at regular meetings of the board throughout the year. The\nlaboratories and offices of the Council are located on the campus of the University\nof British Columbia in Vancouver.\nThe broad objectives of the British Columbia Research Council are to provide\nscientific and technical services not otherwise available to the industry of the Province, and to conduct basic studies leading to the establishment of new industries\nand the development of the natural resources of British Columbia. In order to meet\nthese objectives, the Research Council, through its laboratories, provides a wide\nrange of services and facilities to industries of all types. The work carried out by\nthe Council generally falls into a number of categories:\u2014\n(1) Fundamental or Basic Research.\n(2) Product and Process Research and Development.\n(3) Industrial Trouble-shooting.\n(4) Specialized Testing.\n(5) Approvals Testing.\n(6) Economics and Industrial Market Research.\n(7) Operations Research.\nThe Research Council was established in 1944 with a few employees working\nin provisional quarters in University buildings. Because of industry's demand for\nresearch services, the staff now numbers about seventy, working in a modern well-\nequipped three-story laboratory building. Reduced expansion in many of the Province's industries in 1961 held the Council's earned income down to the 1960 level\nof about $300,000.\nIn addition to its contract work, the Research Council receives a substantial\nportion of its annual budget, $250,000 in 1961, from the Government of British\nColumbia through the Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce. It also receives a limited amount of financial assistance from the National\nResearch Council and other organizations. It is thereby possible for it to extend\nto Provincial industry many additional services, such as free technical information,\nand to carry out some investigations of importance to the Provincial economy.\nThrough the programme of contacts with industry throughout the Province, it\nbrings the fruits of research a little closer to industry's door.\nIn October of 1961 Dr. Paul C. Trussell, formerly head of the Division of\nApplied Biology, was appointed Director of the Research Council. He succeeded\nDr. G. M. Shrum, who resigned upon assuming the duties of President and Chairman\nof the Board of the British Columbia Electric Company Limited.\nDuring 1961 the board of management of the Research Council consisted of\nthe following:\u2014\nThe Honourable R.
