_ Exporting not a,
business but it can pay big,div�
E, Cayley Hill, vice-president
and general manager of the .,
Dominion Road Machinery
Company Ltd. of Goderich, told
a group of 't .tudents and
businessmen recently that ..
success in exporting begins
\ith'a proper state of mind,
He was speaking to 40.
businessmen 'who' joined
students for a 13 -week seminar
course in export management
at Wilfrid Laurier University.
"It is not an easy business
and it is not a casual business.
It is a business which requires ,
energy, •eterminatjon and
perseveran — probably to an
even greater _.egree thn has
been require • o' e in
developing' a • omestic
market,” Mr. Hill said. "
• He .told those taking the
course ,.first introduced by Dr.
Herman Overgaard in 1962 that
firms which have .done well in
the domestic market should do
well in foreign fields.
But he added that different
apprroaches.are necessary. '. ....
"People abroad dd not think
'exactly as NotItn, Americans
and customs vary from country
to'country, In many 'parts of the
world pleasantries and bits, of
light conversation such as
inquiries about the family,
mutual friend,' etc.; will
precede businessAdiscussions to
a much greater degree than is
usually seen. at home," Mr. Hill
warned.
Mr..Hill said many Canadian
companies have' been suc-
ces''sful in 'dealing with socialist
and communist countries and
these countries deserve con-
sideration from. any. company
planning- to enter the export
market. ,.
"We are businessmen.and we
should not become unduly
concerned about the politics of
a country providing there is
some • mechanism for con-
ducting.commercial activity,
the speaker explained.
"Communist countries are
usually extremely careful
. about maintaining their credit
Oiorthiness and litite often
there is less difficulty in
collections or financial
negotiations with these than
with some other countries with
..a democratic government," he
added.
"There are a lot of countries
and many. of them. — in fact
most — are still developing and
their need for goods and ser-
vices is strong," Mr. Hill said.
Inverhuron man claims
BNPD plant ruined dream
BY BILL DIMMICK 1r on this area has been widely
The impact of the Bruce discussed in .,general terms.
Nuclear Power Development But one man who owns four
cottages at lriverhuron
discusses 'the impact in more
personal terms:
-Peter Evans' retirement
dream can no longer become
reality.
° He is selling his property to
•' Ontario Hydro because he -
claims the risk . of hydrogen
sulphide gas used in• making
heavy water poses too great a
risk to his family's safety.
The publicity surrounding the
dangers to human life if the
lethal gas is ever released
accidentally has ruined the
tourist business at Inverhuron,
he° told the News in an in
terview.
Mr. Evans, a semi •retired
salesman, said that he has put
"blood sweat and toil" into his
property and hoped to retire
there, He had plans to rent
three. of- his -,cottages during the
summer to provide some in-
come while he lived in .the
foprth.
ile also -purchased thee- old
Inverhuron school house and
adjoining property in dopes
of making it into a lodge. But as
the property is now, in the
controlled development- zone
which surrounds BNPD, those
hopes have vanished. o
He said that out of two 10 -
week summer tourist seasons
in 19;3 and 19 4,,„he rented his
cottages 'to vacationers for a
total of five weeks. - His cot-,
tages are now rented by per-
sons working at BNPD,
He told Ontario Hydro that he
wanted compensation for the
loss of revenue, hydro replied
that he would have to prove his
rentals had been affected by
producing records for the
'previous 10 year '
N, r. FTvdns refused, giving
the reason that an income tax
audit only requires a person to
go back four years.
RI3ut he still maintained that it
was the heavy water plant and
the danger of hydrogen
sulphide: that kept the toui-ists
away,
"They don't want to expose
their families to any un-
necessary risk -it doesn't make
sense,"
One of his neighbours at the
lakesh<ire 'conimtrnity tried to
sell his property beginning in
19; ' on the open market, The
man was unsuccessful. He
didn't sell until Hydro„bought

promotion of Supt. H.A. Feagan

He was born in Goderich, on

he won't he able to -sell on the

currently negotiating over the
:telling price.
Don White, information of-
ficcr- at BNPD, told the News
that. Mr. Evans was an 41-
fluenec on Hydro's„decision to
buy property in the controlled
development zone from persons
who can't 'find buyers on the
normal market, ' , C; `i
M►-, Evans said that PNP17
has made the market in the
controlled development zone
"abnormal'.
He said that he is not against
additional development at
HNl'i) now, As a taxpayer he
thinks that it would be most
economical - for any nucloaar '
power generating expansion' to
take place -at the- site rather
than spreading it around the
provinC4c,
But he resents the fact that
Hydro .pads no plans' for
Inverhuron. As a result he is
determined to sell.
"It's not a resort area now,
No way,-
Hydro should have:'- made its
plans for BNPD expansion

that tile heavy water plant
would have been stopped by
residents if they had known
about the gas.'
'13NPD's Mr, White said that
thlt public was well-advised
about hydrogen sulphide by
Hydro through the press in 1969 ..
and 1970,
But that is all in the past. Has
Mr. Evans made any plans for
his future now that he is selling
his property?
"It wor:utd he pretty difficult,
to go out and duplicate what we
have here,” he said.
Ile 'wants' the financial
compensation from' Hydro to
allow him to buy equivalent
property in another resort
area.
But even if he gets his price
he will not bc'happy,
"I' don't think that's
enough...what am'I supposed to

benefit?"
"There's no consideration for

The gas dryer -
There's
for -instant service.'Because
there's nothing like it for instant
heat. s
And isn't that what dry-
ing clothes is all about?
So ifyour present gas
dryer just isn't
t warming up to
the job any .more; 'maybe it's
time.,to replace it with a -new
natural gas dryer.
The instant -heat feature
of the new gas dryers means
your clothes start drying
instantly.
•
But ngt all fabrics are
created e(• ual. And therefore
shouldn't be treated the same.;-
Sotoday's natural gas dryers
give you a choice; a setting for
time dry, a setting for perma-
nent press, and even an au-
tomatic setting that doesn't shut
off until your clothes are com-
pletely dry (special 'sensors
measure the moisture).
Natural gas dryers •
come with lint screen, vent on
the side, or vent on.'the back,
electric ignition spark or con-
tinuous pilot. All come in the
' Latest colours, and the latest
styles. And operate for just
pennies per load.'
You see, natural gas is
efficient. There's no refining or
generating involved, you're get-
ting fuel energy right from its
source. Now that's a wise and
efficient use of energy.
When it comes time for
..a new dryer,
order a
natural gas
dryer. And get an
order of dry
clothes to go.
