GRAND BEND CHARGEX — BANK AMERICARD MASTER CHARGE Anticipation of a multi-million- dollar contract could breathe new life into the sagging Bell Aerospace Canada plant at Grand Bend, general manager James. Mills said this week, "I'm very optimistic we're going to get it," he said. "We're part of a group of Canadian companies bidding on a very large contract in Canada. The customer has insisted on con- fidence." Mills believes the decision to choose Bell Aerospace already has been made by the firm and thinks the official confirmation will come in less than a month, Bell Aerospace, which manufactures air-cushion vehicles, is down to a skeleton staff of 21 compared to about 170 three years ago. Other contracts are expected as interest grows in Bell Aerospace's product on the east and west coasts, Mills added, Bell Aerospace is working on plans for a new model, the Vanguard, which will be 320 feet long, have a load capacity of up to 320 tons and travel over almost any kind of water at up to 60 knots an hour. Mills sees such a craft con- necting ports on the north and south shores of the St. Lawrence River near the Gulf of St. Lawrence during the winter months when conventional ferries are inoperative. As well, the vessel, retailing at about $8- $10 million, could connect Seattle and Vancouver to Vancouver Island, reducing the need for tourists to take cars to the island and cutting travel time from other shipping routes. The firm developed out of sell Aircraft Co. and has been in existence here since 1970. But new business is vital, said Mills. "We must have some business and some cash flow or we just cannot continue." Bell Aerospace received a blow when the Canadian Coast Guard decided to purchase a British product rather than a Bell Aerospace product to add to its force. But with other business opportunities, Mills believes "we're likely going to be in operation here for a least five years." "If things start coming our way, then we'll be in business a lot longer than that," he said. Bell Aerospace is a division of Textron Canada Ltd. and boasts expertise in air cushion technology. Looking three years down the road, Mills sees both Canadian and export opportunities. In Canada, besides the east and west coast possibilities, he believes the Vanguard is ideal for linking the Niagara area to Toronto, The Vanguard will be able to cope with any ice conditions on the GreatLakesand any weather short of gale-force winds, he said. • A Lake Ontario crossing could be accomplished in the Vanguard which would have a passenger capacity of 400-500 and could hold 60-80 cars. Freight could be handled by the Vanguard rather than using the existing highway routes, he said. Marshall Pollock Q.C., President of the Interprovincial Lottery Corporation, today an- nounced game changes in The Provincial which will make the lottery much more exciting to play. "Starting in September", Mr. Pollock explained, "a draw will be held each month making every month win-a-million month in the Provincial. In addition, each $5 Provincial ticket will be eligible for six chances at $1 million, four chances at $100,000 and CHURCHN(WS Rev.

The first draw will be held at the Huron Country Playhouse at Grand Bend, on September 30. Future draws will be held on October 30, November 27 and December 26. "In response to the public's request for a more active and regular draw cycle, we have employed a rather unique ap- proach in which each $5 Provincial ticket is eligible to win in TWO consecutive draws, "Mr. Pollock continued, "For example, the new Provincial ticket will be eligible for both the September 30 and October 30 draws. Similarly, a ticket pur- chased in October will be eligible for both the October 30 and November 27 draws, and so on." "The prize structure has' also been changed," continued Mr. Pollock. "Instead of 5 chances at $1 million, each $5 Provincial lottery ticket now gives the holder 6 chances to win a million. The draw format has been changed too. Starting on Sep- tember 30, each draw will be a half hour instead of an hour .
