LOFFMARK,\nMinister of Industrial Development,\nTrade, and Commerce.\n The Honourable Ralph R. Loffmark,\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,\n1965.\nTHOMAS L. STURGESS,\nDeputy Minister of Industrial Development,\nTrade, and Commerce.\n Report of the Department of\nIndustrial Development, Trade, and Commerce\nFor the Year Ended December 31, 1965\nFOREWORD\nFavourable economic conditions prevailed in British Columbia during 1965,\nthe fourth year of economic expansion since 1961. The upward trend in business\nactivity was supported by an unprecedented level of capital investment and strong\nforeign and domestic demand for British Columbia products.\nDuring 1965 the increase in total employment was greater than the growth of\nthe labour force, resulting in a low unemployment rate. The average rate of unemployment, estimated at 4.2 per cent in 1965, was the lowest since 1956. Total\npersonal income rose by 11 per cent and per capita personal income by 8 per cent.\nThis growth in employment and income was reflected in an 8.5-per-cent increase\nin retail sales. Strong demand in Canadian domestic markets led to an increase of\nover 2 per cent in consumer prices and a 1-per-cent rise in wholesale prices.\nCapital expenditures are expected to reach a new high of $1.95 billion in 1965,\na 12.5-per-cent gain over last year. A significant part of this increase resulted from\nexpansion in the pulp and paper industry and accelerated development of the immense Peace and Columbia River projects. The value of housing construction\nincreased, although there was a decrease in apartment building in the metropolitan\nareas. Social capital expenditure was substantially ahead of 1964, particularly for\nthe expansion of educational facilities.\nThe pulp and paper industry spent an estimated $164,000,000 on new plant\nand equipment in 1965. A $17,000,000 pulp-mill was completed at Kamloops,\nwhile four other mills were under construction\u2014two at Prince George and the\nremaining two at Prince Rupert and Gold River on Vancouver Island.\nWork continued on all stages of the Peace River project, including the dam,\npower-house, and transmission-lines to the Lower Mainland. A total of $280,000,-\n000 had been spent by the end of September, 1965. Construction of the three\nColumbia River Treaty dams proceeded on schedule, and an estimated $60,000,000\nhad been spent to October, 1965.\nExports through British Columbia customs ports were estimated at $1.58 billion\nin 1965, down nearly 3 per cent from 1964, principally because of decreased grain\nshipments to the U.S.S.R. However, exports to the United States and United\nKingdom were at record levels.\nThe selling value of factory shipments from all manufacturing industries in the\nProvince reached an estimated $2,875 billion in 1965, nearly 8 per cent over 1964.\nForestry production as measured by the net value of production increased nearly\n5 per cent, led by a 14-per-cent gain in the volume of pulp production and a\n10-per-cent expansion in the volume of paper output.\nMining activity was highlighted by production at two new molybdenum properties. The value of mineral production advanced slightly over the record level of\n1964. Declines in lead, zinc, and copper were more than offset by increases in the\nvalue of oil and gas, and other minerals.\n Q 6 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nFarm cash receipts would have reached a record level in 1965 except for a\ndisastrous freeze in December, 1964, which severely reduced tree-fruit production.\nProduction of live stock, dairy products, grain crops, and vegetables registered gains\nover 1964.\nThe value of fisheries production was down from 1964 but above the average\nof the past decade. Salmon landings were particularly disappointing. A below-\nnormal halibut catch was compensated for by record prices.\nThe tourist industry continued to expand during the year. A record number\nof United States tourists visited the Province, as indicated by the 8-per-cent increase\nin foreign vehicles that entered British Columbia. The Province also attracted a\nlarge number of visitors from other parts of Canada.\nThe outlook for 1966 is highly promising, assuming that costs and prices can\nbe held in line. Many large projects under way during 1965 will be continued into\n1966, thus ensuring a high level of capital investment.\nFollowing in this Report are summaries of the various divisions of this Department\u2014namely, the Bureau of Economics and Statistics; the Industrial and Trade\nOffice; the Data Processing Division; British Columbia House, London, England;\nand British Columbia House, San Francisco, California. The objectives and organization of the British Columbia Research Council are also included.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1965 Q 7\nBUREAU OF ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS\nThe Bureau continued to advise the Government and other public bodies\nregarding matters of economics and industrial development; to keep the Government\nand the public informed of current business conditions, trends, and the outlook; to\nundertake a broad range of economic research, some of which led to the publication\nof regional surveys, industry studies, and trade reports; and to collect varied statistical information on British Columbia in co-operation with the Dominion Bureau of\nStatistics and other Provincial Government departments.\nDuring 1965, efforts to improve the Bureau's statistical resources were continued. Some of the changes implemented evolved from the biennial Federal-\nProvincial Conference on Statistics held in Ottawa in November, 1964, which was\nattended by two senior Bureau staff members. Particular items arising from the\nconference and dealt with during 1965 included Bureau participation at a subcommittee dealing with interprovincial and international trade statistics. Further\nrefinements were also made to statistical coverage of construction, manufacturing,\nprimary industries, and employment and payrolls.\nSenior members of the Bureau staff participated in conferences such as the\nSecond Dominion-Provincial Conference on Forestry and Forest Product Statistics.\nThey took part in hearings, such as those of the Provincial Redistribution Commission and the Board of Transport Commissioners public financial review of the British\nColumbia Telephone Company. The Bureau was also represented on the Provincial\nPipe-line Committee and on a working committee in connection with the agricultural\nrehabilitation and development programme.\nIn fulfilling its function of publishing data on current economic conditions, the\nBureau issued the \" Monthly Bulletin of Business Activity \" and the \"Annual Summary of Economic Activity.\" At the end of the year the Bureau released its annual\n\" Business Outlook,\" which describes business conditions during the past year and\nthe prospects for the coming year and is based on a survey of 300 of the principal\ncompanies in British Columbia.\nDuring 1965 the \" Regional Index of British Columbia \" was completed and\nwill be released in January. This is the Bureau's principal contribution in the\nsphere of regional data. In this 550-page publication the Province is divided into\n80 areas, on each of which there is a description of the economic base and component\nsectors together with supporting statistics, and data on the principal community. In\naddition, an economic survey was carried out on the Grand Forks-Greenwood area,\nand work is under way on studies of two other areas.\nOther publications released during 1965 included \" Facts and Statistics,\"\n\" Establishing a Business in British Columbia,\" \" Preliminary Statement of External\nTrade through British Columbia Customs Ports,\" \"A Manual of Resources and\nDevelopment,\" \" Industrial Expansion in British Columbia,\" and the \" Salary and\nWage Rate Survey.\" In addition to the usual trade reports, the Bureau published\n\" Summary of Pacific Rim Trade Opportunities,\" which draws from the previously\nissued series of publications dealing with trade between British Columbia and other\ncountries bordering the Pacific Ocean.\nBecause of the growing national and international interest in the Province's\nrapidly expanding economy, the Bureau was also called upon to service a large\nnumber of routine requests for economic and statistical data on British Columbia.\n Q 8 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nEconomic Activity in British Columbia, 1963,1964, and 1965\nUnit or\nBase\nPeriod\n1963\n1964\n1965\nPreliminary\nEstimates\nMining\u2014\nTotal value of

In April, 1965, the Government of\nBritish Columbia presented a submission proposing a number of amendments to\nBill C-120, and this was followed by a later submission regarding export grain\nrates. The Bill did not become law during 1965, and a revised version is expected\nto be introduced early in 1966. Railway statistics are being maintained on a\ncurrent basis in order that the provisions of the new Bill may be evaluated as soon\nas possible after it is introduced.\nThe Canadian Pacific Railway Company applied to the Board of Transport\nCommissioners for permission to cancel its second transcontinental passenger train,\n\" The Dominion,\" effective September 7, 1965. The Bureau maintained a watching\nbrief at the Board's hearing in Vancouver and assisted Provincial counsel in the\npreparation of a submission and its presentation in Ottawa. The Board's decision\nis still awaited.\nThe progress of the Great Northern-Northern Pacific-Burlington Railway merger\napplication is still being closely watched, and the terms of merger, if approved, will\nbe studied in relation to their effect on the economy of British Columbia.\nA study of shipping conference tariffs and freight rates was completed for the\nDepartment by a firm of consultants in the fall of 1965. This was followed by a\nstudy of National Harbours Board tariffs and procedures, which was prepared\njointly by the Bureau and the consulting firm. Both of these studies indicated areas\nwhere transportation facilities and tariffs, both rail and water, could be improved\nto the benefit of the Provincial economy.\nDuring the year the Bureau provided transportation information for other\nGovernment departments and for business and industry and maintained its file of\ntransportation statistics on a current basis.\nMINING\nIt is the responsibility of the Bureau to collect and compile the production\nstatistics on all minerals, with the exception of coal, natural gas, and petroleum.\nThe statistics which it compiles are subsequently published in detail in the Annual\nReport of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources.\nFor the fourth year in succession it is possible to report that the value of\nBritish Columbia mineral production exceeds that of any previous year. The estimated value for 1965 is $270,750,000 or almost $3,500,000 greater than in 1964.\nAlthough the total value of mineral production shows an increase, there have been\nsome significant changes in individual minerals. The production in British Columbia of lead and zinc is down considerably in 1965 due to the Trail smelter receiving\nshipments from Pine Point, thus displacing other shipments from Kimberley. Copper\nproduction is also down as a result of the mining of low-grade ore, and labour\nproblems at Craigmont and Britannia. The effect of the reduced production of\nlead, zinc, and copper was partially minimized by higher prices. Other major\ninfluences that affected the total were increased markets for oil and gas and two\nmolybdenum mines coming into production.\nZinc is still the most important mineral produced in British Columbia. The\nestimated value in 1965 is $50,300,000 or 18.5 per cent of the total. Lead is next\nin value at $41,400,000 or 15.2 per cent, followed by copper at $34,350,000 or\n12.7 per cent.   The value of other major minerals are:  Crude petroleum, $26,800,-\n Q 16 BRITISH COLUMBIA\n000; iron concentrates, $19,400,000; natural gas, $14,100,000; asbestos, $13,-\n700,000; cement, $12,150,000; molybdenum, $11,500,000; sand and gravel,\n$10,000,000.\nEXTERNAL TRADE\nNumerous requests for external trade statistics were received from other\nProvincial Government departments and from agencies, businesses, libraries, individuals, universities, and other organizations. Included in these requests were\nspecial compilations of data for a number of British Columbia trade missions to\nAsia and Europe.\nThe seventh publication in the \" Pacific Rim \" series \" Summary of Pacific\nRim Trade Opportunities \" was completed and published in November, 1965. The\nreport provides a digest of the information presented in the other \" Pacific Rim \"\npublications. In addition, more than 700 copies of the annual \" Preliminary Statement of External Trade through British Columbia Customs Ports, 1964,\" were\ndistributed.\nThe first of the following two tables shows exports of products of British\nColumbia origin through all Canadian customs ports, and the second shows imports\nthrough British Columbia customs ports. The export statistics involve estimates and\ndiffer from regularly published export statistics. The special tabulation shown\nexcludes products originating in other Provinces and makes allowance for British\nColumbia products exported via customs ports in other Provinces. Import statistics\ngive the value of all commodities entering Canada through British Columbia customs\nports irrespective of their ultimate destination. At the present time there is not\nsufficient data available to estimate the Province's consumption of imported goods.\nIt will be noted that the commodity group descriptions in the import table have been\nchanged from prior years. This was done in order to conform with a new classification of imports instituted by the Canadian Government in 1964. The groups\nlisted were selected from the new classification so as to show those imports most\nsignificant to British Columbia's economy.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1965\nQ 17\n Q 18\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\n\u00a7\nr3\na.\nflTt    NUN\noc\nin\n\u00a9 r> oo\nCO\n\u2022n rn on ON O CN\nCN \u00ab-h th cn no no\ncn m m \u25a0*\nCO\n\u2014^\u00a9^O^cn\n35\n564\n444.\n338.\n091\n124\n612\n\u00a9 ^t tI-\" in\nON CO CN \u25a0Nt\nOn\"\n\u2022-* nD \u00a9^ CN\ncn\n\"* Cn) On Cn. t- cn\ncn cn On oo\"\ncn\n*h i-h t-H r-i m o\\\nNO cs cn m\nNO\n<n\n**\nW5-\nIninOVNtOO\nno no r- cn\n\u00ab*  \u00bbH  CO  CN\n*H\nVN  ON  Hj  ON  ON  NO\nt-^ *Nt cn i> o r^\n\u00a9 cn \\o \u25a0*\nr^\nm\nOn in cn no\" tT in\nOn r- \u00a9 oo\n\u00a9\"\nNO\nin r- oo i-i m r\u2014\n<-< co cn -n*\ncn\nON\n** \"T. \u00b0i. \u25a0\"* \"1 \u00b0i\nm cn no no\n\u25a0*\n<*T i-T on\" rf no \u00a9*\nno m m on\n^ CN (N O\nCO\n\u00a9 i-i i-H <h r* oo\nm\n-Nt\n\u00ab*\n\u00ab-\nOMn oot. ior>\n\u2014 ~ m cn\nON\nHxinwooco\nCN On cn no\nCN\nro \"^ On t\u2014' On O\n\u25a0<t cn m no\nr>\nCN\n\u2022H cn co in NO ,_-,\n\u00ab \u25a0<* in oo\nNO\n\u00a3\nO N r--I on >t\nr- cn cn cn\ncn\n^r cn oo^ vo no^ in\nr^ cn On^ r>\n\u00a9\nQ \u00a9\" on\" cnT in C\nfJ,HlHH(Nlh\nNOcn co\" co\"\nt>\nCO CN CnI \u00a9\nr-\nw-\n?moo ^ oorji\nt}- ON GO CO\nCN\non \u00a9 m co\nr- no r-i m \u00abn _\u2014\nr-\u00ab  l\u2014  H  OO\n\u25a0<t\nO 00 no cn ON O\nt^ Tf \u00a9 cn\nin\nNO\nCN   fN)   Tf   00   \"<t   l-H\nvo r- cm m oo tr\nr-i oo m On\noo\nON\nr^ co^ \u00a9^ \u25a0*\noo\nee on oo i-H m rn\n00                   rH    T-l    CM    \u00a9\nIH Tf <-f no\"\n\u00bbn cn cn \u00a9\n<N\nfr>\n\u25a0*\ne^-\ntn no t>i r- m \\\u00a3>\nrH vo in CO\nr~\nno on r-- no r- cn\nr- on r> tT\n00\nin \\c *.. tt ^O h\n>n cN cN \u00ab-\u25a0\n\"Nt\no\no\\ r- tn tN no \"\u00ab*\nON \u25a0* no r^\n1\nr~ on Tf o\\ oo on\nCNHHffl\nCM\n*t \u00ae * ^i *\"t *\nr*vjt*r\ncn\nco on t\u2014 cn t\u2014 c\nOO           HHP)P\ninT oTcn\nO\nintNHr\"\n^r\n\u00ab\u25a0\nrH\nQtfHHOh.\nQ\nr> h cn\n00\nno th on cn cn cn\nCO  cn  rH\n\u00a9\nOMfiOOt ^\nNO  GO  NO\nOO\nON\nSO \u00a9 \u00a9 ON NO ,_,\nCC\n\u00a9 r- m\nr-\nm\noo on t- cn t- \u00a9\nCN\nr- co \u00a9\nOn\nO m cN t- -*t cN\nO\n\u00a9 m r-\nOn\nt^- co r- m no oo\nr-\nO rH in\n\u00a9\nCO        hhNqo\nr- cn cn \u00a9\nr-\n\u00ab\u25a0\n**\n\u00ab\u25a0\nN nO CN cn On Tf\nOP oo CN \u00a9 \"-\" 00\n\u00a9  t-^  NO  NO\nm\non r^ no cn\nm\n\u2022n '-h t- m no tj-\nt-^r^oo -n*\nON\n\u2022h \u00a9 on on m on\ntj-\" t^\" ^f m\"\nCO\nSO NO r- <* On C-\n\u2022% \u00a9^ <<t in On^ r>\nNO C- OO On\nON\n9^\nCN CN -n+ rH\nON\noo oo\" in\"1** vf \u00a9\n\u00a9\"r-^\u00a9\"o\"\nin cn cN co\nI\"\n\u00bb\nf.  n M t- -Nf vfl\nOh moo\nr-\ntn on no no cn cn\nm  NO  CN  NO\nr- no r~ \u00a9\n<N\nc_n on in <n \u00a9 i-i\nNO^\nr-\njt rV t\u00a3 oo\" m\" c\u00ab\n,563,\n.646.\n,444,\n.077.\nCN\nON\nr- cn on p~ r- n\"\nop in l> *Nt cn \u00a9\ncn\nCO\nCM C~- t\"~ (N CO C\nco\"\nON        \u2022- CN NO On\ntt cn cN On\nON\n&r\n\u00bbn '3; \u00a9 (N ON t-\nr- \u00a9 t-H on on cn\nco on r- on\n\u00a9\nOn tJ- in \u00a9\nCN\nco cn rH t> no CN\nT}-  m  CN  rH\nCN\nVD\nOO t-i CN o oo cn\ncn r\u2014 c* cn\nrf\nt Nt r.'t --I00\nm CO On h^\nNO\nON\nO   f>   rH   VO   t^ Cn\nS NO^ M  CN\ncn\n\u00a9\" r-^ in\" of in\" c-\noo in -h\"oo\"\nCO*\nOn       i-i cn r- On\n\u25a0<t cn cn On\n\u00a9\n*\u00ab\u25a0\nm\nrfnortinm\nNO tT in CN\nin\nm cn t\u2014 \u00a9 oo cn\nNO i* O CO\non cn cn m\nin\nt> OO CN On On no\n\u2022*\nV.\n\u00a9 cn m th on cc\n00 CN \u25a0n* cn\nCO\n^ r- m \u00a9 oo m\nSO cn -t r- on no\nr- \u00a9 th ^\ncN \u25a0* cn \u00a9\nm\nON\no\non r- m r- cn cn\nNO >n rH \u00a9\ncn CN CN On\noo\nf~      t- i- m nc\nCO\n\u00ab\u25a0\ncn\nfn r-t Tf On tH nC\n\u00a9 CN -*\"\u00a9\"\nHOCfTf\n\u00a9\nop tj- oo m r- nC\nCO\n>n cn cn cm \u00a9 tj-\nt\u2014 t- CN OO\n\"Nt\nTT\ncn in \u00a9 cn m m\ncn r- cN no\n\u25a0H \u00a9 ON On\ncn\nW\"l\nf* On cn OO \u00a9 vC\nNO\nON\noo \\o cn \u00a9 ON nC\ncn r- in h\ncn\nE- \\D -Nt On t1- m\nno cn On -h\/\nt>        i-* CN CM tj\nCN cN h in\nCN\n6r>\ncn\nobacco\nicts\no\no\n1\na\nu\ns\nCM\nidt\nals\nodi\nuct:\n3\ns\n_d a*\n3\no\n0\nes, at\nateri\ned pr\nprod\nHoys\no\nt and toe\nusehold i\n:ts\t\n>>\neverag\nated m\nd relat\nd coal\nI and a\na\n'\u20223\no\nS\nd\nc 0 3\ne\nX) y c a a>\no ^_\nc -a o\no\n^'C  ^ cs i>\n'\"5 c\na c _-\nc\nU\nfeed\ne fab\nicals\neum\nind si\nn a.\nsE\nequi\nnal a\nher p\nT\nFood,\nTextil\nChem\nPetrol\nc\n1\ns:\n1\n\u00a7 1\nc4   a.\nH\nc\ngo\n3 H\ni _.\nP.        *^\na    a\n3    -c\n^ a\n_3 U\n* \"\nT3        0 t\nu        \u00bb.(J\n*  I\n\".a\na.

The\nsubsequent economic analysis and dissemination of statistical data pertaining to\nforest industries of the Province form an integral part of the Bureau's activities.\nDuring the year, assistance was provided to other Government departments, industrial associations, and trade delegations. Early in the year the Bureau, in association\nwith forest-industry representatives, participated in a Second Dominion-Provincial\nConference on Forestry Statistics. The British Columbia delegation was well received, and its brief has led to important advancements.\nThe forest-based industrial complex is by far the most important in the Province. It has been estimated that the 1965 net value of forestry production was in\nexcess of $980,000,000; over 75,000 persons were employed. British Columbia\naccounts for 67 per cent of Canada's total lumber production, 80 per cent of its\nplywood production, 21 per cent of the pulp, 13 per cent of the paper, and 17 per\ncent of Canada's combined production of pulp and paper.\nLog production in British Columbia during 1965 was recorded at 1,533 million\ncubic feet (9.0 billion board-feet), up 18 million cubic feet over last year's record.\nAccording to data available to the end of December, Coast log scale was up 3.6 per\ncent over 1964, while the scale of Interior logs was down by 1.7 per cent. Vancouver\nlog-market prices for all major species except cedar were consistently above those\nof 1964.\nThe sawmill industry was expected to produce 6.9 billion board-feet of lumber\nin 1965 or nearly 2 per cent more than last year. The production of Interior mills\nwas down somewhat from a year ago, but Coast mills cut and shipped a greater\nvolume. Most lumber markets remained satisfactory throughout the year. Overseas\nlumber shipments to the end of September declined from last year, but an increased\nflow to the United States kept total water-borne lumber movements 6.5 per cent\nahead of 1964.   Shipments by rail declined on a quiet market and mixed prices.\nDespite a poor first half, plywood-industry production, at an expected 1,516\nmillion square feet (%-inch basis), was 1 per cent better than last year. An accurate\ncomparison cannot be made since production in previous years was measured on a\n.4-inch basis. A slow domestic market firmed at year-end, while export shipments\nin the first seven months were up 6.6 per cent in volume and 11 per cent in value.\nOutput in the Province's pulp and paper industry averaged better than 90 per\ncent of capacity for the year and hit a 95-plus-per-cent level by year-end. Pulp\nproduction was up 14 per cent to an estimated 3,248,000 tons, while sales advanced\n18 per cent during the first 10 months. Total paper production in 1965 was estimated at 1,532,000 tons, a 10-per-cent increase over 1964. Additional pulp\ncapacity totalling 455,000 tons per year was brought on line in 1965.\nAn estimated $250,000,000 in new capital was invested in the British Columbia\nforest industry during 1965. The pulp and paper sector accounted for $164,000,000\nof this total. The remainder was about equally divided amongst the wood industries\nand logging. The year was further highlighted by the coming on line of the\nInterior's second pulp-mill at Kamloops. Other pulp and paper mill projects currently under way and having an installed value in excess of $500,000,000 will add\nover 1.8 million tons to the industry's capacity by 1967-68. This development is\nan impressive stride toward a fuller utilization of the Province's forest resource and\nwill in the long run be of direct benefit to the entire economy.\n Q 20 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nLABOUR\nDuring 1965 increasing emphasis was placed on the examination and revision\nof existing methods used in compilation of labour statistics. This section was\nrepresented at two Federal-Provincial Conferences on Labour Statistics held at\nQuebec City. The first was the seventh annual meeting of the Statistics and Research\nCommittee of the Canadian Association of Administrators of Labour Legislation.\nThe second was a sub-committee on labour statistics of the Dominion Bureau of\nStatistics and the Provincial Governments. Considerable attention was directed\nduring both meetings to methods of extending both statistical and analytical procedures in respect to an assessment of manpower requirements.\nContinued effort on the part of both Provincial and Federal departments has\nbeen effective in the general improvement of present procedures and the revision\nand updating of existing material. Early in the year a complete revision of labour-\nforce data was completed by the Federal department on the basis of new population\ncounts available.\nAs in previous years, the Bureau was responsible for the completion of the\nmain statistical sections of the Annual Report of the Department of Labour, the\ncurrent material appearing under headings of \"Highlights of the 1965 Statistical\nReport on Trades and Industries\" and \"Annual Survey of Organized Labour in\nBritish Columbia, 1965.\"\nThe increasing importance of wage and salary data during periods of labour\nunrest was most evident in the rising demand for the salary and wage-rate surveys\nconducted by the Bureau. In addition to the annual July \" Salary and Wage Rate\nSurvey,\" intensive study was again extended to a separate group of larger firms in\nconnection with specialized wage and salary material required for the Civil Service\nCommission.\nUnder the existing arrangement with Federal authorities, a complementary\nservice was provided by the Bureau in the follow-up survey of British Columbia\nlabour organizations. Information collected by Ottawa together with data resulting\nfrom this localized survey are being used as a basis for a directory of trade-unions\ncompleted for the British Columbia Department of Labour.\nIn addition to maintaining current labour statistics used by the Bureau, the\nlabour section completed the following projects during the year:\u2014\n(1) The 1965 survey of British Columbia salary and wage rates:\n(2) Statistical sections for the 1965 Annual Report of the British Columbia\nDepartment of Labour:\n(3) The annual survey of organized-labour membership in British Columbia\ntogether with a directory of trade-unions and labour organizations was\nprepared for the Department of Labour:\n(4) A survey of clerical salary rates in the Vancouver area was tabulated and\ncompiled for the Vancouver Board of Trade; and\n(5) Compiled selected occupational salary data required in wage studies conducted by the Bureau for the Civil Service Commission.\nThe following table shows the revised totals representing the estimated annual\nwages and salaries in British Columbia for the years 1953 to 1965.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE,  1965\nQ 21\nEstimated Annual Wages and Salaries in British Columbia\nYear\nTotal Wages\nand Salaries\n1953  $1,227,000,000\n1954  1,246,000,000\n1955  1,365,000,000\n1956  1,579,000,000\n1957  1,687,000,000\n1958  1,683,000,000\n1959  1,790,000,000\nYear\nTotal Wages\nand Salaries\n1960  $1,858,000,000\n1961  1,894,000,000\n1962  2,008,000,000\n1963  2,159,000,000\n1964  2,362,000,000\n1965  2,670,000,000 *\ni Preliminary estimate.\nSource:   Estimates of Labour Income, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa, Ont.\nPUBLICATIONS\nPeriodical\nMonthly Bulletin of Business Activity.\u2014This publication contains articles of\ncurrent interest and incorporates a monthly review of current changes in the principal segments of the Provincial economy.\nSummary of Economic Activity in British Columbia.\u2014This is a companion to\nthe Monthly Bulletin and is issued annually.

The series was designed to encourage\nBritish Columbia exporters and producers to examine the possibilities for expanding\nor diversifying exports to countries bordering on the Pacific Ocean.\nRegional Index of British Columbia.\u2014In this 550-page publication the\nProvince is divided into 80 areas, each of which is described in detail. There is a\ndescription of each area's economic base and component sectors, together with\nrelevant supporting statistics and economic indicators. Following this, there is a\ndescription of the area's facilities, utilities, and other local considerations. Details\nare also provided on municipal taxes, services, utilities, and amenities in the principal community within each area. The charge for this publication (which is to be\nreleased in January, 1966) is $1.90 plus 10 cents tax.\n(Note.\u2014A complete listing of Bureau publications is contained in the Department's List of Publications, obtainable free of charge.)\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE,  1965 Q 23\nINDUSTRIAL AND TRADE OFFICE\nThe main functions of this office are to promote new industrial and commercial\nenterprises throughout the Province, provide assistance when necessary to established\nbusinesses, and develop the domestic and export trade. The office also provides\nindustry with data on location-sites, land-use maps, availability of raw materials,\nand information on the services offered by the British Columbia Research Council\non 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, chartered banks, railway industrial agents, and foreign\ntrade representatives in Canada and overseas.\nBRANCH PLANTS AND MANUFACTURING UNDER LICENCE\nThe response to the Departmental direct-mailing campaign during the year\nwas gratifying. Several firms indicated they would be establishing branch plants\nin British Columbia in the near future. Considerable interest was shown in\nInterior locations, indicating that a greater decentralization of industry is taking\nplace in British Columbia.\nNumerous licence manufacturing proposals from the United Kingdom and the\nContinent, United States, and Eastern Canada were handled by the Department\nduring the year. Some of the items examined by British Columbia firms included\npatented noise converter for pneumatic tools, patented aluminum shelving brackets,\nnew braking system for vehicles, telescopic trailer unit, patented particle-board\nprocess, special patented summer ski, new design for a strong light-weight roof, sail\ntrainer for teaching people to sail, aluminum awnings, steel arches for mining industry, X-ray separating device, tri-wall pak corrugated material, special-type floor\nand wall tiles, and a patented automatic sliding-door closer.\nCOMPOSITE INDUSTRIAL MAPS OF THE FRASER VALLEY\nAND METROPOLITAN LOWER MAINLAND AREAS\nRequests for these maps from individuals, real-estate and business firms continued to be heavy. As the supply of the Metropolitan Lower Mainland Map was\nexhausted, compilation of a new edition was commenced in December. The new\nedition should be available for distribution early in the new year.\nThe two maps cover an area extending from Burrard Inlet and the mouth of\nthe Fraser River to Hope and indicate the zoned and potential heavy and light\nindustrial areas, main highways, railway lines, natural-gas line, oil pipe-line, and\nother facilities serving the area. Each of these maps may be purchased for $1 a\ncopy (which includes the 5-per-cent social services tax).\nHANDICRAFT DIRECTORY\nCopies of the 14th edition of this directory were distributed through the year\nto retail and wholesale firms, resorts, and other outlets, and to British Columbia\nHouses in San Francisco and London, England. The usual contact was made with\nEastern Canadian Provinces interested in handicraft developments. Four showcases of British Columbia handicrafts are on display in the Empress Hotel in\nVictoria, and special thanks on behalf of the Department are extended to Mrs. P.\n Q 24 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nSheppard and Mrs. H. D. Foster, local handicraft producers, for all their assistance\nin arranging the displays.\nBRITISH COLUMBIA INDUSTRIAL DESIGN COMMITTEE\nDuring the year under review, the British Columbia Industrial Design Committee was active in working with designers and manufacturers in promoting good\ndesign throughout the Province. Some of the Committee's activities included a\nBritish Columbia school design competition to encourage good industrial design by\nschool students; a photographic exhibition of 10 panels displaying photographs of\nwell-designed British Columbia manufactured products (this display was exhibited\nin 11 centres throughout British Columbia, and at the request of the National Design\nBranch was also sent to Ottawa and later was on display in Toronto); and compilation of a brochure illustrating some well-designed products of British Columbia\nmanufacturers.\nThe British Columbia Industrial Design Committee includes representation\nfrom the Federal Department of Trade and Commerce; Provincial Department of\nIndustrial Development, Trade, and Commerce; Department of Education; University of British Columbia; Canadian Manufacturers' Association; Vancouver Board\nof Trade; Vancouver School of Art; British Columbia Research Council; Association of Professional Engineers of British Columbia; Canadian Association of Consumers; Architectural Institute of British Columbia; and Community Arts Council\nof 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.\nREGIONAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES\nThis survey lists many investment opportunities in the fields of hotel and motel\nrequirements, housing developments, warehousing, and wholesale and retail outlets.\nThe survey covers 10 regional areas of the Province, and the suggestions for investment opportunities are submitted by members of the Chambers of Commerce and\nBoards of Trade throughout the Province. Many of the suggestions listed have\nresulted in encouraging capital investment in commercial enterprises. The demand\nfor this survey has again been very heavy during the year, and it will be necessary\nto print a new edition early in the new year.\nCANADA-UNITED STATES DEFENCE PRODUCTION SHARING\nNotwithstanding the keen competition offered by United States firms, some\nBritish Columbia firms have been able to bid successfully on United States defence\ncontracts. British Columbia House, San Francisco, continued to work closely\nwith the Federal Government representative in Los Angeles in developing this\nprogramme.\nBUSINESS CLOSING DAYS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA\nThis booklet was compiled in response to the many inquiries received from\nbusinessmen, salesmen, and tourists requesting information on the closing days for\nretail and wholesale establishments in various centres throughout British Columbia.\nThe closing days shown indicate the days observed by the majority of the establishments for each centre.\nSincere appreciation is expressed to the many Municipal Clerks and others\nwho so readily furnished the basic data from which this listing was compiled.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE,  1965\nQ 25\nVisitors to component parts exhibition.\nBRITISH COLUMBIA COMPONENT PARTS EXHIBITION\nThe Department, in co-operation with the Canadian Manufacturers' Association (British Columbia Division), the Industrial Development Commission of\nGreater Vancouver, and the Vancouver Board of Trade, sponsored this exhibit to\nstimulate secondary manufacturing in British Columbia. Hundreds of items {see\nillustration), from small springs to furnace castings, from paint-rollers to plastic\ncups were among the many products on display in the British Columbia Building\nat the Pacific National Exhibition grounds, Vancouver, on November 9th, when\nBritish Columbia manufacturers were invited to view imported component parts\npresently being incorporated in many finished articles produced in the Province.\nTwo hundred and forty manufacturers participated in the show, which was primarily\ndesigned to encourage local manufacturers to produce these imported component\nparts in British Columbia at a competitive price. In the opinion of those who were\nvisitors and those who exhibited, the event was extremely successful for a first\nattempt and should be repeated in larger premises and over a longer period. It was\napparent from comments made that, for the manufacturer with imagination and\nvision, there is room for expansion in secondary industry, particularly in the fields\nof castings, forgings, and stampings.\nINDUSTRIAL SEMINAR\nMembers of the Department participated in an industrial development workshop organized by the Vancouver Board of Trade and held June 23rd in Vancouver.\nThis event offered a new approach to ways and means of expanding and developing\nBritish Columbia secondary industries.   The workshop provided a full programme\n Q 26 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nof challenging topics, and listed among the speakers, panelists, and leaders of round-\ntable discussions were a number of outstanding businessmen.\nPROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS' TRADE AND INDUSTRY COUNCIL\nThe 17th annual conference of this Council was held in Quebec City from\nSeptember 20th to 22nd. The Minister, Deputy Minister, and Industrial Commissioner were in attendance. Some of the topics discussed included: Provincial\nGovernments' programmes on decentralization of industry; technical services provided to industry by the Provinces; shortage of skilled labour; Canadian Standards\nAssociation; Federal Government report on area development programme; the\nbusiness development facilities of Expo '67; report on G.A.T.T.; and financing\nexports of capital goods.\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 economic conditions affecting the development of each of the Provinces and all of\nCanada.\nASSISTANCE IN PROMOTION\nThe Department assisted a large department store in a \"Made in British\nColumbia \" products promotion, entitled \" British Columbia Today,\" which took\nplace in Vancouver from May 12 to 22, 1965. This event, which featured the past,\npresent, and future development of production in this Province, had the enthusiastic\nco-operation of British Columbia industrial and manufacturing groups. Additionally, a number of cultural, educational, and artistic organizations contributed in time\nand effort to produce events during the programme. One of the highlights of the\npromotion was a fashion show presented by the designers and craftsmen of British\nColumbia's clothing industry.\nAs a part of the promotion, British Columbia school-children were invited to\nparticipate in a poster contest. The theme of the poster was also \" British Columbia\nToday \" with interpretation of this theme left open to the imagination of the\nstudents. Response was most gratifying, and suitable cash prizes were awarded to\nentries selected by a panel of industry and government judges.\nEXHIBITS WITHIN THE PROVINCE\nThe Departmental portable exhibit is a pictorial and statistical presentation of\nthis Province's industry and progress. The use of this exhibit at various events\nwithin the Province has resulted in many inquiries being received for information\non all aspects of our economy.\nEvents at which the exhibit was displayed include the Victoria Exhibition from\nMay 17th to 22nd in Victoria, the Vancouver Island Exhibition from August 18th\nto 21st in Nanaimo, and the Canadian Chartered Accountants' Conference held\nSeptember 13th to 15th in Vancouver.\nTRADE AND INDUSTRY BULLETIN\nDuring 1965 the Bulletin completed 16 years of continuous publication listing\ntrade inquiries, export opportunities, manufacture under licence agreements available to British Columbia firms, notices of tender, and news of general commercial\ninterest. Special features have been included, covering participation in trade fairs\nand market reports on selected regions.   In order to reduce the time factor involved\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1965\nQ 27\nin establishing contact between principals, the name and address of each opportunity\nis now listed.\nThe increased use of the Bulletin by the trade representatives of other nations\nbears out the importance of this publication to the commercial and industrial\norganizations in Western Canada. The circulation of the Bulletin has increased\nto 1,300 copies a month.\nTRADE MISSIONS\nThe Department sponsored and organized two trade missions during 1965.\nTrade missions are an effective means of opening and developing foreign markets\nwhere there is no adequate substitute for personal visits by responsible company\nrepresentatives. To those businessmen participating, trade missions offer a most\neffective way to promote the sale of products in foreign markets. Additionally,\nother British Columbia firms benefit from the new appreciation of this Province's\nproducts and capabilities generated during the visits.\nia'M-\nThe British Columbia trade mission to Europe on their arrival at Schiphol Airport,\nAmsterdam, October 6, 1965.\nMission to Europe (October 5th to 26th)\nThe Minister of the Department, accompanied by the Deputy Minister, led an\n18-man mission to Europe for three weeks in October. Buyers as well as sellers\nwere included in the delegation, which also had as its objective the encouragement\nof industrial and commercial enterprises in British Columbia as well as promoting\nparticipation in the forthcoming 1967 British Columbia International Trade Fair.\nFollowing a programme of visits in The Netherlands, the mission proceeded to\nBelgium and the Federal Republic of West Germany. In each country, members\nhad opportunities to make business appointments of individual interest. The mission\nwas well received, and in each of its objectives satisfactory results were achieved.\n Q 28 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nMission to California (November 17th to 24th)\nIn mid-November a 10-man mission travelled to San Francisco and Los\nAngeles. This mission was organized to assess the prospects for increasing British\nColumbia exports for a range of manufactured products and also to allow mission\nmembers to become familiar with the production and marketing operations in the\nimportant California market.\nDuring the visit, discussions were held on the feasibility of increasing British\nColumbia participation in the United States-Canada defence production contract\nsharing programme as well as highlighting opportunities in British Columbia for\nbranch-plant locations, manufacture under licence agreements, or joint ventures\nin industry and commerce.\n1967 BRITISH COLUMBIA INTERNATIONAL TRADE FAIR,\nMAY 17th TO 27th\nPlans for the fourth British Columbia International Trade Fair are well\nadvanced, and another highly successful Trade Fair is assured.\nThe British Columbia International Trade Fair is sponsored by the Department\nof Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce and administered on a volunteer\nbasis by a dedicated group of leaders of British Columbia's business, industry, and\nGovernment. The president and chairman of the board of directors is Mr. W. J.\nBurnett, and the general manager is Mr. D. K. Brown. The executive offices of\nthe 1967 British Columbia International Trade Fair are located at Suite 601, 207\nWest Hastings Street, Vancouver.\nThe British Columbia International Trade Fair is the largest fair of its kind\nheld in Canada.\nDuring the year under review, members of the executive committee, directors,\nand the general manager separately visited some 20 different countries discussing\nwith government trade offices, chambers of commerce, and manufacturers plans for\nthe fair. Further reference is made to some of these missions elsewhere in the\nAnnual Report.\nA great majority of governments and companies who exhibited in the previous\nTrade Fairs are returning in 1967, many with increased display areas. This type of\nparticipation is evidence of the importance and value placed on these successful\ntrading events by those seeking to do business throughout the dynamic trading area\ncomprising the four Western Provinces and the United States Pacific Coast States\nof Washington, Oregon, and California.\nThe British Overseas Fairs Limited will stage a special British exhibition within\nthe Trade Fair. The British promotion will be the largest single feature occupying\nthe whole Hall of Industry \" B,\" comprising over 15,500 square feet of display\nspace. The Republic of China and Sweden have also contracted for space and will\ndisplay a wide range of consumer goods. Negotiations are in an advanced stage\nwith Austria, Belgium, The Netherlands, West Germany, Japan, France, Italy, and\nthe Phillipines.\nDuring the past year, management of the Trade Fair organized two highly\nsuccessful dinners in support of the 1967 Trade Fair. The first, tendered by the\nGovernment and the people of British Columbia to the members of the Vancouver\nconsular corps, was held at the Dogwood Room, Exhibition Park, Vancouver. The\nHonourable W. A. C. Bennett, Premier and Minister of Finance, welcomed guests\nand thanked them for the whole-hearted support the consular corps had extended\nto the Government in previous Trade Fairs.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE,  1965 Q 29\nLater in the year another dinner was held at the Chateau Laurier Hotel in\nOttawa for the Ambassadors and representatives of the diplomatic corps. The\nHonourable Ralph R. Loffmark, Minister of Industrial Development, Trade, and\nCommerce, welcomed the distinguished guests on behalf of the Province of British\nColumbia, and the Honourable R. W. Bonner, Attorney-General and Minister of\nCommercial Transport, delivered the keynote address, \" The Dynamic Golden\nTriangle.\" This was complemented by the premiere showing of the 16-mm. coloured\nmovie \" The 1967 British Columbia International Trade Fair.\" This film is an\nexcellent production highlighting the industry of British Columbia and the dynamic\nmarket potential of Western Canada and the Pacific Coast States of Washington,\nOregon, California.\nDEVELOPMENT OF EXTERNAL TRADE\nMembers of the Department continue to visit secondary industries of the\nProvince to ascertain what products might be exported to foreign markets. This\nco-operative effort has resulted in an additional 65 firms having their products listed\nin the Canadian Exporters Directory, a publication which is used by the Canadian\nTrade Commissioners serving throughout the world.\nThe Trade Office has continued its vigorous campaign to help foreign manufacturers establish representatives in British Columbia. Over the years the Trade\nOffice has worked closely with the representatives of the Vancouver consular corps\nand others in an effort to identify the major unified trading areas of Canada. This\nprogramme has been highly successful, and an increasing number of B.C.-based\ndistributors have been established to serve the Western Canadian market.\nPUBLIC RELATIONS, ITINERARIES, AND INTRODUCTIONS\nThis field, like all other sections of the office, has grown considerably in the\npast year and has proven to be of major importance to government representatives\nand businessmen from foreign lands who visit this Province. Assistance has been\ngiven under six main headings, as follows:\u2014\n(1) Itineraries and other arrangements for business visitors from Eastern\nCanada and overseas:\n(2) Arrangements for visits of commodity officers from the Department of\nTrade and Commerce, Ottawa, and for tours of Federal and Foreign\nTrade Commissioners from different parts of the world:\n(3) Arrangements for visits of teams of Assistant Trade Commissioners\n(Department of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa) on tours of industries\nprior to overseas posting:\n(4) Co-operation with Commonwealth and other trade missions (practical\nassistance has been given in their surveys and itineraries):\n(5) Arrangements for visits of diplomatic representatives, High Commissioners of Commonwealth countries, or their staffs; and\n(6) Co-operation with Vancouver consular corps and with offices in Commonwealth and foreign governments.\n Q 30 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nDATA PROCESSING DIVISION\nThe main function of the Data Processing Division since its inception in 1938\nhas been to serve as a data-processing centre for the various departments of the\nGovernment. Over this 27-year period there have been many changes in equipment and methods to meet the growing requirement of the various departments for\nfaster and more complex reports. The past year has been no exception and has\nseen a major change in equipment and procedures as we pass through the second\nphase of a three-stage conversion from basic punched-card procedures to the more\nsophisticated stored-programme equipment using a full operating system. The\nfirst stage was the conversion from Unit Record equipment to stored-programme\nmachines, using first an I.B.M. 650 and then the 1620 and 1401 systems. The\nsecond phase has been the addition of magnetic tapes and disk drives to the stored-\nprogramme equipment, permitting the use of a limited control or monitor system.\nThe final stage, which will be developed during the coming year, will be the introduction of a complete operating system suitable for use on the I.B.M. system 360.\nThe 360 system is scheduled for delivery early in 1967 and will replace the 1620\nand 1401 systems currently in operation, and both the engineering and data-\nprocessing application will be run simultaneously on a single system using a variety\nof input-out devices.\nDue to the time required for training and reprogramming, full benefit of the\nintermediate system has not yet been obtained, but the additional speed and power\nof the new equipment have become evident in many of the applications. Reports\nformerly taking weeks or months to prepare are now available in days or even hours,\nnot to mention the ability to handle problems of greater complexity that could not\neven be attempted on the older equipment.\nThe most important new job undertaken during the past year was the conversion\nof motor-vehicle records from an addressograph system to magnetic tapes. The\ngreater part of this work\u2014the programming and punching of the files\u2014was done\nby the staff of the Motor-vehxle Branch, but this Division undertook the responsibility for the preparation and updating of the magnetic-tape files and all associated\ncomputer operations. It is interesting to note that the annual motor-vehicle registration renewal run has just been completed, taking just over two weeks; under the\nold system the preparation of these notices took up to five weeks. A similar operation for drivers' licences will be put into operation early in the new year; again the\nprogramming and punching will be handled by the staff of the Motor-vehicle Branch.\nOther smaller jobs, such as pension cheques for the Superannuation Branch,\nrevision of the Liquor Control Board payroll procedures, a farm research study for\nthe Markets Branch of the Department of Agriculture, were undertaken, but the\ndevelopment of new applications has been curtailed somewhat because of time spent\non converting existing jobs to meet the requirements of the magnetic-tape and disk\nsystems. Once the programmes for the current jobs are operational, it is anticipated\nthat all work will benefit from the increased speed and flexibility on the new\nequipment. This trend is depicted in the statistical tables of this report, which show\nmany of the routine jobs with a drop in cost despite normal volume increases over\nthe past year. The tape and disk systems will permit the use of a monitor programme\nwhich will make stacked job operation possible, thus providing for even greater\nmachine through-put. The preparation and operation of these systems is providing\nvaluable experience for our staff for the conversion to the system 360.\nThe Division is now equipped with three electronic systems, which has resulted\nin the releasing of a considerable amount of Unit Record equipment.   The present\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE,  1965 Q 31\nmachine configuration, all of which is leased on a monthly basis, includes the\nfollowing:\u2014\nOne 8k 1401 system with four magnetic-tape and one magnetic-disk drive.\nOne 8k 1401 system with four magnetic-tape drives and special printer.\nOne 60k 1620 Model II with two magnetx-disk drives and an on-line\nprinter.\nOne 407 alphabetic printer.\nSix 083 sorters.\nOne 088 collator.\nOne 519 reproducing punch.\nOne 557 alphabetic interpreter.\nOne 954 facsimile posting machine.\nThirteen key-punches.\nFive verifiers.\nIn addition, a 1440 system is installed in the Vancouver Forest District to\nhandle scaling and royalty records for that area. The cost of this equipment is\nrecoverable from the Scaling Fund, which is provided for by the forest industry.\nThe British Columbia Hospital Insurance Service and Forest Surveys Division both\nmaintain a small key-punch section, whose work is funnelled into our computer\noperations. Similarly, the Liquor Control Board operates a small Unit Record\ninstallation in its Vancouver warehouse from which cards eventually flow to this\nDivision for the preparation of monthly and annual reports.\nTo operate the systems and provide service to our customers, it is necessary\nto maintain a highly trained staff in the fields of systems and procedures, programming, and equipment operation to cover all types of work involving accounting,\ndata-processing, information retrieval, statistical analysis, and engineering problems.\nDuring the year the staff was reorganized and increased by adding two programmers,\ntwo console operators, a magnetic-tape librarian, and a key-punch operator, and the\nstaff (including three Forest Service personnel) is now distributed as follows: A\nDirector and Assistant Director of Data Processing, three systems analysts each in\ncharge of a section of work, five programmers, four console operators, five machine\noperators, one key-punch supervisor, fourteen key-punch operators, one supervisor\nof file maintenance, one control clerk, one tape librarian, and a senior clerk-\nstenographer.\nIn addition, the Liquor Control Board has three clerks attached to our staff\nto handle clerical work associated with its operations.\nThe Division is currently handling 135 jobs from 15 departments or agencies.\nA complete list would be bulky and of little value to a report of this nature; however,\nan indication of the major jobs and their size can be obtained from the material\nshown in Table I.\nThe very nature of the work dictates that we employ a different method of\nhandling work for the 1620 and 1401 systems. In the case of the 1620 computer\nsystem, an open-shop plan is employed; here the engineer or technical expert has\nbeen trained to do the programming in his specialized field, and this Division supplies\nassistance with the more sophisticated programming and debugging, but once the\nprogramme becomes a routine operation, it is turned over to our staff for processing.\nIn the case of the data-processing applications for the 1401 system which do\nnot require the same technical knowledge, we operate a closed shop, the programming being done by our staff in co-operation with officials of the department concerned. Experience to date has proved the operation of the two plans to be most\nsatisfactory for all concerned as any deviations have presented difficulties.\n Q 32 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nAccurate job cost records are maintained through a time-card system. While\nno billing is presented for work done, the system does provide a valuable assessment\nof the value of work done for each department. These figures have been used to\ncomplete the tables included with this report.\nControl of work is established by presenting any requests for new work to the\nElectronic Data Processing Committee, who approve or reject applications on their\nmerit. This Committee is comprised of Deputy Ministers whose departments are\ninvolved in data-processing.\nTable I shows a comparative statement of the value of work done for the\nvarious departments during the past five years. These figures are based on actual\ncosts and show a steady annual increase over the period, although in several cases\nthe department's costs show a drop in value this year, which has come about by the\nuse of more efficient equipment. Where a large increase is shown, it can usually\nbe attributed to the undertaking of a new job, such as the work for the Motor-vehicle\nBranch.\nTable II shows a two-year comparison of the number of productive hours spent\nin machine operations for the various departments. It is interesting to note the\ndrop in time on the Unit Record and an increase in the 1401 time, which is of\ncourse, due to the conversion to the stored-programmed equipment.\nThe decline in the 1620 time is due largely to the slackening of overtime, which\nwas heavy during the first year.\nTable III is similar to Table II in make-up, except that it shows time spent in\nclerical operations rather than machine time. The noticeably small amount of\nprogramming time on the 1620 system is accounted for by the fact that users of\nthis system do much of their own programming under the open-shop principle.\nThe chart in Fig. I shows graphically the distribution of work for each department, with the British Columbia Forest Service as the leading user, followed by a\nfairly even distribution by the Attorney-General, Liquor Control Board, Industrial\nDevelopment, and Health and Hospital Insurance.\nFigs. II and III show the distribution of work on the 1401 and 1620 systems.\nSome departments, of course, take advantage of both systems. The Attorney-\nGeneral and Health and Hospital Insurance account for over half the time on the\n1401 systems, with the Forest Service and Liquor Control Board the next heaviest\nusers.\nThe British Columbia Forest Service is the major user of the 1620, with the\nLands Department and Department of Highways following in that order.\nThe utilization of the Unit Record equipment is shown in Fig. IV, where again\nthe Forest Service is the major user, followed closely by the Liquor Control Board,\nthe Lands Department, Provincial Secretary, Department of Highways, and Hospital\nInsurance in that order.\nThe key-punching distribution is depicted in Fig. V, where the Department of\nSocial Welfare is the leader, with a fairly even distribution among the Liquor Control\nBoard, Industrial Development, Lands Department, Education, Provincial Secretary,\nand Attorney-General. In this case it must be remembered that the Attorney-\nGeneral, Forest Service, and Hospital Insurance do most of their own punching,\nwhich is, of course, not included in these figures.\nClerical operations are shown in Figs. VI to VIII. Fig. VI is devoted to\nsystems development work, and since much of this is applicable to all jobs, it is\ncharged to our own Department, which occupies the greater part of the chart.\nHealth and Hospital Insurance and the Liquor Control Board took the greatest\nadvantage of this service during the year.\nThe programming service was fairly evenly distributed between several departments, with the Forest Service the leader.   Here again to get a true picture of the\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1965\nQ 33\ntotal programming effort it must be remembered that departments with the engineering type of application, such as Lands and Highways, did their own programming,\nwhich is not recorded in this chart. Details of the distribution of programming for\nthe 1620 and 1401 systems are located in Table III.\nOther clerical operations, which include file maintenance, are shown in Fig.\nVIII. Obviously our own Department will be charged with most of this work, and\nit is interesting to note the high ratio of clerical work done for the Liquor Control\nBoard despite the fact it supplies three clerks whose work is not charged in these\nrecords.\nThe continuous growth of the Division has constantly presented a problem of\nfinding space to house the equipment, with the result many moves have been made\nsince the inception of the Division. With the addition of the new equipment, overcrowding again became a major problem, with the result new and more spacious\nquarters are being renovated for us on Menzies Street, and it is anticipated that the\nmove to the new quarters will be made during the month of February.

This has been accelerated to a large\ndegree by impressive and continuous\neconomic growth, sound financial position, wider knowledge of its vast resources and power-generating potential,\nand has resulted in an ever-increasing\nflow of venture capital to British Columbia from the United Kingdom and\nfrom Europe. That this trend will\nstrengthen is self-evident as awareness\nof our tremendous resources and potential grows in other nations of the world.\nExports of British Columbia products to Great Britain and Europe continue to increase, amounting during the\nlast year to over $326,000,000. Further details of this trade appear in the\nlatter section of this report.\nVISIT OF THE PREMIER\nOne of the highlights of the year\nwas the visit in September of our Premier, the Honourable W. A. C. Bennett, to the United Kingdom and Italy.\nWhile in Rome and Milan he met leading industrialists of Italy. This mission\nsubsequently resulted in a number of\ninquiries being received in this office\nand a delegation of Italian businessmen\nvisiting British Columbia this year. In\nLondon a reception was held at British\nat which he met prominent industrialists\n\\\nA winter's afternoon in Westminster\u2014\nhalf-past two by distant Big Ben. Late sun\nbathes the fronts of Waterloo Place, the\nDuke of York's Column, the Foreign Office,\nNo. 10 Downing Street, and, away beyond,\nthe twin towers of Westminster Abbey.\n(Photo taken from roof of British Columbia House, No. 1 Regent Street, London.)\nColumbia House in honour of the Premier,\nof Great Britain.\nVISIT OF THE MINISTER\nThe Honourable Ralph R. Loffmark, in October, paid his first visit to London\nsince his appointment as Minister of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce.\nHe was accorded the unique honour of an official luncheon by the Minister of State\nfor Commonwealth Relations, Mr. Cledwyn Hughes, M.P. Through British Columbia House, several high-level and important contacts were made with members of\nthe House of Lords, members of Parliament, and, most important, industrialists\ninterested in participating in the economic development of British Columbia.\n Q 40 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nREPRESENTATIONAL ACTIVITIES\nThe Agent-General has made visits to various regions of the British Isles, to\nGermany, and to Italy, during which many good promotional contacts have been\nre-established or newly formed.\nClose liaison was maintained with the Office of the High Commissioner for\nCanada, Provincial Agents-General, and all Canadian institutions in London.\nRelations were maintained with other Commonwealth governments represented\nin London, foreign embassies, and departments of the United Kingdom Government,\nparticularly the Commonwealth Relations Office and the Board of Trade.\nThe Agent-General had the honour of representing the Province at the state\nfuneral of Sir Winston Churchill in St. Paul's Cathedral. The Deputy Agent-\nGeneral represented the Province at the Shakespeare birthday celebrations at Stratford-upon-Avon in April and at the state opening of Parliament in November.\nIt is most gratifying to record in this report that so many British Columbians,\neither on business or private visits, had registered at this office and made it their\nheadquarters while abroad.\nIMMIGRATION AND SETTLEMENT\nImmigration inquiries this year at British Columbia House were almost double\nthose of last year, numbering as they did some 800. This is due in part to the fact\nthat the clerks attending to immigration are now located on the ground floor of\nBritish Columbia House, which is open to the street. At the same time the Canadian\nGovernment throughout the year was actively engaged in advertising for immigrants,\na procedure which has only recently been attempted on the present scale. In addition to this number of counter inquiries, letters dealing with this subject were\nanswered to the number of 520 (excluding those dealing with school-teachers).\nSCHOOL-TEACHERS\nAgain we were able to place at the disposal of Mr. D. P. Todd, of the Department of Education, interviewing accommodation during his three-week stay in the\nBritish Isles recruiting teachers. Itineraries were prepared and much preliminary\nwork was done by the staff in arranging interviews before Mr. Todd arrived. This\nled to considerable correspondence. In all, our advertisements placed in the daily\npress resulted in some 300 replies; of this, 160 teachers applied for interview, and\n147 were interviewed, resulting in 53 teachers being recommended to School Boards\nfor appointment, while 46 appointments were made before Mr. Todd returned to\nthe Province.\nDuring the year, British Columbia House placed a number of advertisements\nfor teaching staff for the West Kootenay Regional College. This resulted in some\n300 applications being received by the college from United Kingdom teachers. In\naddition, some 100 sundry school-teacher inquiries were handled exclusive of the\nabove-mentioned special schemes.\nVISITORS\nSome 3,673 visitors from British Columbia registered at British Columbia\nHouse, while the staff during the year handled some 17,770 pieces of mail on\ntheir behalf.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1965 Q 41\nFILMS AND PUBLICITY\nAgain there has been an increase in the demand for films, rising from an\naudience of 22,000 to 30,000 in 1965. This represented 320 screenings. These\nfigures refer only to films handled by this office. Other Canadian agencies in the\nUnited Kingdom having film-distribution arrangements which include British Columbia films are the Canadian Government Travel Bureau, Air Canada, Canadian\nPacific Airlines, the Canadian railway companies, Canada House, and the National\nFilm Board.\nEach month the Agent-General's newsletter has been mailed to a growing list\nof readers, and many compliments have been sent to the office. The newsletter is\neasy to read, up to date, and is of particular value to industrialists, businessmen, and\nbankers.\nThe move to the ground floor of the inquiries office and visitors' bureau has\ngiven British Columbia House staff the opportunity to utilize a window on Regent\nStreet during the year. Various window displays have been shown. These include\nBritish Columbia minerals, Canadian salmon and fruit, and a special apple display\nplaced by the Canadian Government Exhibition Commission. Readers of this\nreport are reminded that this window is available to any industry in British Columbia that wishes to make use of it.\nTOURISM\nInquiries at British Columbia House in respect to tourism numbered 110\nthroughout the year, which is an increase over past years, and a variety of tourist\nliterature has been handed out and sent by mail to written inquiries.\nADMINISTRATION\nA number of tenants have vacated the building, and in most cases have surrendered their leases without penalty. This has enabled the Agent-General to make\nnew lettings on much more favourable terms considering that so many of the leases\nwere taken out in 1946. During 1966 and 1967 several of the old leases will have\nterminated. Renewals will be at rates consistent with fair market value at the time\nof renewal.\nREPORT OF THE INDUSTRIAL AND TRADE COUNSELLOR\nIndustrial and trade inquiries continued at a high level during 1965. The\nnoticeable trend was that producers in British Columbia were paying increasing\nattention to British and Western European markets.\nTRADE FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA\nDuring the year, 125 inquiries were received from British Columbia, most of\nwhich had to do with the sale of British Columbia products. Suitable contacts were\narranged for the majority of these inquiries, and in many cases buyers and distributors were found.\nTRADE INQUIRIES FROM EUROPE\nDuring 1965 the following inquiries were received from the United Kingdom\nand the countries of Western Europe:\u2014\n Q 42 BRITISH COLUMBIA |\nUnited Kingdom  278\nGermany  42\nScandinavia   28\nThe Netherlands  20\nSwitzerland  14\nItaly  13\nFrance   7\nAustria   6\nSpain   6\nBelgium   5\nPortugal   2\nOther countries  14\nTotal  435\nEXPORT OPPORTUNITIES\nDuring 1964 a new service was instituted, that of sending to the Department\nof Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce inquiries for goods or services\nfrom countries outside the jurisdiction of this office but which came to notice\nthrough embassies, government departments, chambers of commerce, trade associations, etc.   Forty-eight of these were forwarded to the Department in Victoria.\nTRADE MISSIONS FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA\nWestern White Spruce Symposium (March 28 to April 12, 1965)\nThis mission was organized by Seaboard Lumber Sales and included six British\nColumbian members, all from the Northern Interior of the Province. The mission\nvisited various centres in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Eire. The\nobject of this mission was to popularize the use of western white spruce in these\nmarkets.   This was the first lumber mission from the Interior of the Province.\nCariboo Lumber Mission (May 9 to 28, 1965)\nThis mission consisted of the secretary of the Cariboo Lumber Manufacturers'\nAssociation and three mill-owners from the Quesnel-Williams Lake area. The\nmission's itinerary covered some of the main lumber import centres\u2014London,\nLiverpool, Cardiff, Belfast, and Dublin.\nOne of the interesting sidelights of this mission was the offer of a flagpole to be\ncut from the Cariboo forests and shipped to the Leander Club at Henley. The pole,\n80 feet long, arrived in England on November 22nd and will be dedicated at the\nHenley Rowing Regatta in July, 1966.\nTRADE MISSIONS FROM EUROPE\nCatering Mission to Canada (February, 1965)\nThis mission consisted of the chief buyers for some of the largest catering firms\nin Britain who were looking for new products from Canada. It is interesting to\nnote that on the return of this mission they reported that the best frozen foods seen\nthroughout the whole of Canada were produced in the Fraser Valley. They also\nreported that in the United Kingdom there is a tremendous sales potential for\nCanadian frozen beef and fresh frozen salmon.    The first tangible result of this\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1965 Q 43\nmost successful mission was that its report went to all catering associations throughout the British Isles.\nBirmingham Business Mission to Canada\n(October 16 to November 3, 1965)\nThis mission spent from October 30th until November 3rd in Vancouver,\nwhere the members dispersed. Arrangements were made by this office for the\nmission to meet government representatives, boards of trade, trade associations,\nand individual firms. The organizers of this mission reported that the immediate\nresult was a total of new business well over $2,000,000. Canadian agents and sales\nrepresentatives were appointed as a consequence of this mission.\nVISIT OF THE INDUSTRIAL AND TRADE COUNSELLOR\nTO BRITISH COLUMBIA\nThe Industrial and Trade Counsellor paid a short visit to the Province in\nAugust and September.\nFILM INDUSTRY FOR THE PROVINCE\nA new development during the year was the interest in British Columbia as\na location for the making and processing of films by British producers.\nBUSINESS EMIGRATION\nInquiries are still being received from businessmen who intend to become\nre-established in their own line of business or move to the Province and invest.\nIn dealing with such inquiries, this office works closely with the Canadian Department of Citizenship and Immigration and other agencies in the Province, such as\ngovernment departments, boards of trade, trade associations. Letters of introduction have been supplied throughout the year in over 50 such cases.\nNOTES ON TRADE WITH EUROPE\nThe 1964 figures for trade with Western Europe are published by the Department's Bureau of Economics and Statistics in mid-1965.

British Columbia\nimports from the United Kingdom for 1964 were $54,402,000.\nThis office uses this statistical grading in advising visitors or correspondents\nwho are making plans to sell in or buy from the United Kingdom and Western\nEurope.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1965 Q 45\nBRITISH COLUMBIA HOUSE, SAN FRANCISCO\nThe economic growth and industrial development which have taken place in\nBritish Columbia over the past few years continue to stimulate interest in the\nProvince among manufacturing and commercial firms in the Western United States.\nThis is indicated in many ways, the most important being the fact that 1965 was\nthe most active and interesting year of the operation of British Columbia House in\nSan Francisco.\nIt has long been recognized that the west coast of North America from British\nColumbia to Mexico is a geographic and economic unit. Many economic studies\nhave been made in this region, and in almost every case California and British\nColumbia emerge as the most attractive areas for expansion of industry and\ncommerce.\nThe American manufacturers and investors are fully aware of the tremendous\nhydro projects under construction, the growth and expansion of the pulp and paper\nfacilities, other forest products, the increasing activity in mining, petroleum, and\nnatural-gas developments. On the other hand, California represents a larger market\nto the British Columbia manufacturers than all of Canada. The recognition of the\npotential in these respective areas has led to increased requests for information by\nCalifornia businessmen and commercial enterprises for market information on a\nvariety of products.\nA number of California-based engineering firms approached British Columbia\nHouse for information on the developments taking place in British Columbia with\na view to possible establishment of consulting services or complete engineering\nservices in the Province. The opportunities in the petroleum field have interested\nan American firm to the extent that a refinery in Central British Columbia is under\nconstruction. Manufacturers of petro-chemicals in California appear to be interested in the growth and expansion of the petroleum and natural-gas industry.\nThe Commercial Representative is watching this situation closely.\nThe development of hydro power will undoubtedly increase the interest of\nelectro-chemical manufacturing facilities. Several American firms are studying the\npotential for such power-oriented industries, according to inquiries received.\nInterest has been shown by two California firms in expansion of their British\nColumbia forestry operations. Other firms producing equipment and providing\nauxiliary services to the pulp and paper manufacturers are planning to establish\nrepresentation in British Columbia.\nBritish Columbia House offers assistance to British Columbia businessmen and\ncompanies exploring California markets. The Commercial Representative accompanied the Canadian Technical Wood Products Mission sponsored by the Federal\nDepartment of Industry on a fact-finding mission on the assessment of the wood-\nusing industries in California. It is established that a definite market exists in California for dimension stock and furniture parts. This has been previously reported\nby our Commercial Representative on several occasions. He has in the past made\nextensive inquiries on this subject as a regular part of his duties. He also accompanied a second mission sponsored by the British Columbia Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce in November where representatives of\nBritish Columbia manufacturers visited California in the interest of their products.\nThe British Columbia House representatives attended trade shows in California\nwhere British Columbia firms had exhibits during 1965.    Close association is\n Q 46 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nmaintained with Federal Trade Commissioners, Canadian bank representatives in\nCalifornia, investment brokers, and financial organizations for the purpose of advertising investment opportunities in British Columbia. Several real-estate developments have taken place through these contacts in British Columbia House, San\nFrancisco.\n INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, TRADE, AND COMMERCE, 1965          Q 47\nBRITISH COLUMBIA RESEARCH COUNCIL\nThe British Columbia Research Council was incorporated in 1944 under the\nSocieties Act.\nThe broad objectives of the Council are to provide scientific and technical\nservices to the industry of the Province, and to conduct research leading to the establishment of new industries and the development of the natural resources of British\nColumbia.\nFrom a very modest beginning, the Council has grown with the development\nof the Province.   It now employs a staff of 87, and operates from its own laboratory,\nlocated on the campus of the University of British Columbia.\nFinancial support comes from a Provincial grant through the Department of\nIndustrial Development, Trade, and Commerce, and from earned income from\ncontract research for industry and Government agencies.   It also receives a limited\namount of financial assistance from the National Research Council and other\norganizations.\nThe following graph shows the growth of the Council's major sources of income\nover the years, projected to the end of 1965:\u2014\n800\n700\ns\n<        600\nO         500\nQ\nw        400\ns\nH        300\n200\n100\nIN(\n:o_\nvIE\n9\ni\nf\n\/\n#\nj\nf\n\/\n\/\nf\na\n^k,.\nA\n++\nf\n^\ny\n>\n\/\ni**1\n1\nA\ns\n.1*1\nin\n<*y\ni'ii\nIII!\n>\u2022\u2022\u25a0\n\u2022\u25a0(1\nIII\n_\u2022\u00bb\nii*\n.\u00ab\u00ab\nr\nin'\nt\\\n.*\nS\n.\u00ab*\u2022\nV\n>***]\nV\nm4\n\/\na\n<njDCOO(M-^vO              oo             o              ^              ^              m\n.T^-^LnLr.Ln_r.            in          v_o           ^           ^           ^\nno^o^o^cj^oo            fjNO^\u00b0Nc_r,c\n\u25a0_                        \u2014H                        \"\u20141                       f\u2014T                     I\u2014.                        1\u20144                      \u25a0\u2014.\u2022\u2014.                      r-(*\"\"1                        f-t                        f\nYEARS\nii \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0in   FROM B.C.
