non-toxic and environmentally
friendly, does everything from
soothing acne to sanitizing kitchen
cutting boards. The product line
consists of antiseptic spray, cap-
sules, tablets, non-soap skin
cleaners, bubble bath and dental!
gel. .

COSCO’s new service will call

U.S. west coast ports.

“‘With this new service the Port
of Vancouver becomes an authen-

“The port and the Canadian
tailways have the capability to
service the continental container
trade effectively and we now have
an opportunity to prove it.’”

VPC’s marketing team played a
big role in securing the new con-
tainer service.

Vancouver and we intend to
reward that confidence with a

corresponding commitment of
service.””

BANK SCAM

THE ROYAL Bank of Canada
has reported that a number of its
clients in Vancouver, Burnaby and
Surrey have received telephone
calls from people impersonating
bank employees and asking them
to divulge their personal iden-
tification numbers (P.1.N.) and, in
some cases, their bank accounts.

stories to obtain this information.

Peg Byars, Royal Bank public
affairs manager,. said no Royal
Bank employee is authorized to
act in this manner. They are not
allowed to ask a client for their
P.I.N. as only the client is to have
this information.

‘manner are advised to contact the

police.
