LOWER MAINLAND
residents are being asked to
meet a goal of $645,500 for the
British Columbia Lung
Association’s (BCLA) annual
Christmas Seal Campaign that
gets under way this month.

That regional goal is part of
a province-wide campaign goal
of $1.4 million, a 4% increase
of the total contributed by
British Columbians last year.

BCLA volunteer president
Dr. Bernie Riedel hopes that
local residents will ke generous,
despite difficult economic
times. He notes that the money
raised stays in B.C., supporting
medical research, educational
programs and community ac-
tivities.

“Your donations will help
the one in five British Colum-
bians suffering from crippling
lung diseases such as iung
cancer, asthma, emphysema
and job-related respiratory
disabilities,” says Riedel. ‘*The
lung association is also working

An extra‘backbone’

hard to increase awareness of
the ill effects of pollution
from vehicle emissions, tobacco
smoke and other sources that
threaten your lung health."'

During the campaign, which
runs until the end of January,
every household in the province
will receive a package of
Christmas Seals and reply
card for donations. Riedel ap-
peals to residents of the North
Shore to use the brightly col-
ored seals on holiday mail and
packages. ‘‘They (Christmas
Seals) carry the hopes and
dreams of thousands of people
suffering from tung disease,"*
says Riedel.

Canada's reSources.

A EN suiphur unit train, like a giant conveyor belt, winding its
way through the rugged Fraser Canyon in B.C.

Canada is‘a nation rich in natural resources
that are vital to our economy.

But Canadian producers face some unique
problems in their struggle to survive in the globai
marketplace in which they compete.

Our resources must be moved to port over some
of the most rugged terrain and the longest inland
distances of any producing country in the world.
That fact makes transportation a crucial issue.

Keeping Canada’s resources
competitive is important to everyone.

CN plays a major role in moving Canada’s coai,
sulphur, potash and grain, using innovations
like our unit trains. These are on the move aimost
perpetually like enormous conveyor belts. The
efficiency of this system greatly increases
productivity and reduces costs.

CN people—with specific resource expertise—
are working closely with producers on a variety
of other service initiatives to help them meet
world market conditions.

Better equipment utilization and car cycling
are key areas. CN has spent over $300 million
in recent years to buy and rebuild equipment and
streamline operations through computerization
and other high-tech developments.

You can't turn your back on the importance of
Canada’s resources nor the problems they face.
CN is committed as an extra.‘backbone” to

support these products. Their success is important
to everyone.
