soaring above pro;

HELIJET AIRWAYS reports business is picking up faster
than the company had originally projected when it began its
Vancouver-Victoria commuter helicopter service Nov. 27.

“Our load factor is exceeding 50
per cent of capacity two months
ahead of our own traffic projec-
tions,’’ said North Vancouver
Helijet Airways head Daniel Sit-
nam. ‘The results provide clear
evidence that there is a market for
helicopter passenger service in this
whole region of southwestern
British Columbia.”*

After 54 years at the same loca-

The past is present in the time-

ed with a viritage 1920 barber’s
chair in the far corner by the TV.

The past is alive in the faces of
Brondgeest’s custemers, friends
and acquaintances. Many have
been coming to Lrondgeest’s
three-chair shop for 40 tu £0 years.

But something has changed. A
haircut that cost 35 cents 54 years
ago, goes for eight dollars teiday.

There’s no pyvofound secret to
barbering longevity. ‘‘I still enjoy
doing ihe shzves, the brush cuts,
the crew curs. I come in every day
and meet my friends. When I get
tired, I'll retire,’’ says Brondgeest.
