20 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, Béptomber 10, 19653 Worst Years In Canada Coal Industry By VERN LACEY VICTORIA (CP)--The worst ee appear over for Canada's g-suffering coal industry. Modern factories and power- houses are taking a second look at the old-fashioned black stuff. They like what they see, says Cc. L. O'Brian, Dominion Coal Board chairman, Mr. O'Brian came to the . Opening of the 17th dominion- rovincial conference on coal ere with a qualified optimism for the future of the industry: "Coal is making a come- back." But there remain serious problems of high-cost transpor- tation and production, he says. Coal was clobbered in the early 1950s by its own high costs and the emerging petroleums industry. Production dropped from 18,- 500,000 tons in 1951 to 10,285,000 in 1962. Mines that did not close sur- vived on transfusions of heavy federal transportation subsidies, the Japanese coking coal mar- ket and what they could sell to industry. However, the industrial hub of Ontario finds it cheaper to bring coal from nearby Ameri- can fields. POSITION IS UNIQUE "We are in a unique position in Canada," says Mr. O'Brian. "Our coal deposits are on either side of the country, over 1,000 miles from our industrial centre." "They (industries) buy Cana- dian coal whenever they can » + » Whenever we can get down to American prices." As chief of the crown cor- ration charged with advising lederal coal policy, it is Mr. O'Brian's mission to find lower prices. Bre Passed He says transportation costs would be reduced substantially by "unit trains,"'--fast trains carrying nothing but coal to avoid being sidelined for days on regular freight trains. "We could cut our turn- around time from 24 to five or six days on a cross-country haul," Secondly, mines must auto- mate to reduce production costs, says Mr. O'Brian, If these problems can be solved, Canada seems ready to increase coal consumption. _ Oil - rich Alberta has found coal more economical than gas for steam turbine power gen- eration. . d BUILDS COAL PLANTS Ontario has exhausted hydro sources within easy transporta- tion distance of major cities, and now is building coal power plants. Saskatchewan, with its open- pit lignite coal, has probably the cheapest fuel for power, generation in North America, he says. Every province except British Columbia--which is committed to hydro development--has coal in its plans for power, says Mr. O'Brien, Coking coal exports to Japan have tripled since 1959 to 845,- 000 tons, y . was 11,288,000 tons, an indrease of over 1,000,000 from thé rec- ord-low 1962 year. Even with the increase in tonnage, Canadian coal produc- tion is still about equivalent to the volume produced in 1911. The fall of the early 1950s was a long one. And Mr, O'Brien says "the comeback is going to take a long, long time." Britain Could Lose Plenty In India-Pakistan Struggle By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer Lining up for a hospital bed or for new spactacles or a set of teeth, the average Briton may at first be little concerned with a war half-way round the world--until the news hits home. (The struggle between India and Pakistan could wreck Britain's National Health Service. Eighteen years have passed since Britain gave up sover- eignty over her Asian empire but although India and Pakistan have achieved independente the relationship witn the mother country is still strong, weaving ® mystic pattern that has fol- lowed strange paths. In terms of financial invest- ment, Britain's stake in these two warring countries is esti- mated at about £500,000,000 ($1,- 500,000,000), Tea, oil, mining, in surance and shipping are among the British operations which heip sustain the Indian-Pakis-lexodus of British docters to tani economies and at the same time help nourish British homes and banks, With the British pound strug- gling to maintain its stability|5,000 and the British economy so heavily dependent on foreign trade, the financial side of the costly war would alone repre- sent the anxiety Britain feels as it watches U Thant, United Na- tions secretary-general, search for a ceasefire on the battle- front. NEEDS ASIAN SKILLS But the anxiety goes deeper than the economic side; it pene- trates the entire fabric of Brit- ish society. No matter what! Britain may say about the ris- ing tide of colored immigrants and the need to control them. Britain needs the skills of South- east Asia. In former days Brit- ish doctors travelled to Asia to help save the sick and ailing among the uneducated masses. Now doctors from India and Pakistan are journeying to Brit- ain to help preserve the National Health Service. Indeed, with the continuing greener fields in Canada and the United States, the number of In- dian and Pakistani doctors in Britain have increased to about | Ly, D NEVER TASTED CHICKEN $0 GOOD" Home Delivery or Pick-Up -- Phone -- 728-7321 522 Ritson Rd.
