iii 7f Shopping at the produce section in Barries first No Frills Loblaws Store is Myrna Cunningham of Barrie She was one of the first few customers in the store which opened Thursday Examiner Photo Selection smaller than conventional store No Frills opens doors By NANCY lIGUEROA Of The Examiner Bagging your own groceries paying for those bags and hav ing only 400 items to choose from are just some of the com ponents of the No Frills Loblava Store that opened Thursday in Barrie The store officially opened by David Nichol president of Loblaws Ltd is Canadas Loblaws very interested in opening Super Store here David Nichol president of Loblaws Ltd has message for Mayor Ross Archer Loblaws wants to purchase at least 80000 square feet of land in Barrie for the construc tion of Loblaws Super Store Tell the mayor that if we can find site in Barrie wed be very interested in building Super Store here he said At 80000 square feet Super Stores are 10 times larger than conventional Loblaws stores and offer about 10 times the number of grocery Super Stores Loblaws newest tactic in the grocery war are among the largest grocer stores in North America and perhaps the world Frills Store At Bgyfield Mall branch Green Machine comes here By RICHARD THOMAS Of The Examiner The Green Machine Toronto Dominion Banks automated Officially opened at the banks Bayfield Mall branch to day it is the first in the Barrie araa according to spokesman teller machine has come to Barrie Toronto Dollars and Sense Good bets gyjiwith high rates By RALPH ALEXANDER an Dear Sir Is there some way to profit from the skyrocketing interest rates FS Dear There are several methods of profiting from rising in terest rates ranging from conservative to outright gambl ing However to try to implement them this late in the in terest rate cycle would be using the Maginot Line Mentality This approach leads one to also plan the next war based upon the facts of the last war tThe First World War was fought in the trenches therefore in preparation for the Se cond World War the French constructed some very im pressive concrete trenches and bunkers all along the FrenchGerman border Unfortunately Herr Hitler used tanks rather than bayonets as his primary offensive weapon and the Maginot Line was quickly circumvented All was not lost however the concrete bunkers apparently serve ad mirably as chicken coopsl Having dispensed todays history lesson we can get on with the present situation The fact of the matter is the war of rising interest rates is about to end Within the near future interest rates will be in to fall and tremendous pm tit opportunity will be avai able These interest rate turn arounds only come every four or five years so dont miSs it There are many ways to profit from falling interest rates again ranging from relatively riskfree to extremely speculative For now lets look at one of the safest vehicles available GOVERNMENT OF II BONDS Earlier this year the Government of Canada issued at $1000 bonds maturing in the year 2004 and paying coupon of $105 annually to yield 10 per cent Willi rising interest rates the market price of bonds falls to produce yield which is competitive with prevailing interest rates pre sent the market price of this bond is about 3915 providing an arithmetic yield of almost 11 per cent When interest rates fall the value of this bond will increase dramatically For example if you bought this botid today at $915 and held it for one year then sold it you would experience the following returns Assumth Interest Value of Capital Interest loiiil Icrcciitagc Rate intlct 1980 Bond tiain liamctl Return Return 10 per cent 1000 85 105 190 208 imost likely scenarwi 1105 190 105 295 372 per ctnl 1235 320 105 125 165 The risk involved in this investment is that interest rates do not fall but continue to increase in which case as long as you dont have to sell the bonds at further depressed price to make your mortgage payments you can content yoursell witn earning II per cent interest on as secure an investment as any investment denominated in terms of pa per currency with the banks head office in The tendency to convert investments that dont work out into Iongterm holdings is in general illadvised In this case an exception is probably warranted in that competing in vestments such as stocks and real estate are not likely to perform very well until interest rates decline items in regular stores Nichol was in Barrie Tuesday and today for the official opening of Loblaws seventh No The Green Machine provides extended banking services to Toronto Dominion customers and is designed to alleviate the pressures of peak traffic periods in the branch To operate the system customers can use either special Green Machine card or Toronto Dominion haigex card with Green Machine privileges Access to savings and chequing accounts as well as hargex account is available as well tiistonicr can also withdraw cash lap to daily maximum limit make deposits in cash or by cheque transfer funds bet ween accounts even if they are at different branches obtain thargex cash advance seventh No Frills Loblaws Shoppers will notice severe drop in the variety of available groceries Nichol told The Ex aminer 1n regular Loblaws stores shoppers choose from about 8000 items and large fresh meat section At No Frills stores only 400 items are of fered and meat departments are nonexistent 400 ITEMS The 400 available items are composed of Loblaws 400 best selling grocery items at the lowest prices in town said Nichol It isthe absence of meat department that is most bother some to No Frills shoppers he said Most people dont mind paying for bags or packing their own groceries or the lack of price stickers on items but no meat to some that is upsetting Nichol said however the suc cess of No Frills stores proves many people are willing to make two trips to complete their grocery shopping if theyll save money Meat departments are los ing propositions because they are so labor intensive said Nichol Thats why we dont have them at these stores The Loblaws grocery store that used to occupy the site of the new No Frills Store Bayfield Street north of Cundles was real loser said Nichol That store was never suc cessful he said For the last several years weve lost money at this location Although he didnt know how much money the new store would make in its first year he said We expect to make money in this store overnight REGULAR BLSINESS As well as making money in the new store Nichol doesnt expect to lose money at the regular downtown Loblaws location Youd be amazed at how lit tle an effect it the No Frills store will have on the downtown store he said No Frills stores are definitely here to stay but that doesnt mean conventional grocery stores will ever be annihilated said Nichol Different consumers have different needs he said For shoppers who are looking for the best values No Frills stores will attract them He said however most peo ple will continue to shop in con ventional stores Car sales dropped despite new models DETROIT AP Dcspite the introduction of new models sales by US auto producers fell 66 per cent in midOctober compared with that period year ago automakers said Wednesday Chrysler Corp accounted for half the decline Its sales were 24 per cent less giving the com pany

energy conservation in industry can be just lcw light bulbs away or as near as fresh coat of paint ac cording to Ontario Hydro officials Only tiny group representing small industry in Billllt was on hand Tuesday night to hear concrete suggestions on how to reduce large fuel bills and save energy while still us ing traditional forms of energy such as oil and gas Working from the assumption that there will be no signit cant change in our energy consuming habits in the near future despite the development of alternative forms of energy like solar Roy Durham Ontario Hydro energy con servation specialist in Toronto and Walter Hoogendyke ot the Georgian Bay regional office in Barrie offered simple solutions to what they term the chronic problem of wasteful heat and lighting in industry Highly recommended in industry are point light sourccs such as mercury vapour metal halide and sodium rather than fluorescent because their lighting is more direct Fluorescent lights particularly on high ceiling end up lighting the walls as much as the work area Durham says Although the initial cost of point lights is greater than fluorescent up to $60 compared to about $2 each the reduction in heat and electricity bills justifies the higher cost Durham says lights are one of the most inefficient energy sources around An ordinary incandescent bulb our basic light source produces only 12 per cent light compared lo 88 per cent heat Lights used after their specified life expectancy arc wasteful Durham says You pay for light that youre not getting he explains The meter doesnt know Dirt on walls windows and the light fixtures lllITlStlt absorbs light reducing efficiency he says He also recommends cutting down the amount of light lll corridors and aisles making sure lowhanging work lights are directly above working areas and painting walls and floors light color to absorb light Hydro makes the following temperature recommcnda tions assembly and machine shops 60 to 65°F olliccs 70°F washrooms 68°F Hoogendyke says air conditioning should never go liclmi 78°F Temperature reduction during unoccupied hours is also urged He notes the greatest water in temperature regulation oc curs when cooling and heating systems are fighting each other Although in theory the two should never be on at once it happens regularly Industries are often the victim of poor design Durham says It costs less intially to install inefficent lighting and heating but this is false economy because companies pay heavily for it each month he says Ontario Hydro has been conducting workshops on energy

dclibcratcly gained voice for ommunism and varicty of cx trcinc leltwing positions under the guise ol supporting op pressed Third World peoples Their way of supporting such oppression is tosupply
