Chairman TellsPosition of theNickel Industry

Nickel consumption in theUnited States, the world's principalmarket for the metal, increasedduring 1962, Henry S. Wingate,chairman of the board of directorsof The International Nickel Com-pany of Canada, Limited, said inhis year-end review of the nickelindustry.

Mr. Wingate said, however, thata decrease in consumption ofnickel in European markets re-sulted in lowering the free worldtotal of nickel consumed by aboutfive per cent from the high rateattained in 1961. He added thatthe 1962 rate of nickel consump-tion, the third highest in historyis approximately 80 per Cent of thefree world's present productioncapacity, exclusive of Cuba.

Mr Wingate. in looking to the

Free World ConsumptionEstimates indicate that the free

world's consumption of nickel in1962 will approximate 480,000,000pounds, compared with about 505,-000,000 in 1961," Mr. Wingate said.Although a gain in nickel con-

sumption during the year wasevidenced in the United States andCanada, bringing the combinedconsumption in those countries tomore than half of the free world'stotal, a slackening of demand inother world markets, together withdecreased production by the steelindustry, resulted in the lowerfree world total for 1962.

It is estimated that the annualnickel-producing capacity of thetwo other principal Canadian pro-ducers, Falconbridge Nickel MinesLimited and Sherritt Gordon MinesLimited, amounts to 70,000,000 and25,000,000 pounds, respectively.

Societe Le Nickel, the Frenchnickel company with deposits onthe island of New Caledonia in theSouth Pacific. has an estimatedcapacity of 55.000,000 pounds ofnickel per year. The nickel-produc-ing capacity of the principal pro-ducer in the United States, TheHanna Mining Company at Riddle.Oregon, continued during 1962 atabout 22,000,000 pounds annuallyThe bulk of the free world's re-maining nickel- producing facilitiesconsists of the capacity of Japan-ese refiners. Employing importedores, these refiners can annuallyproduce an estimated 50,000000pounds of nickel.

Served 17 YearsIn Municipal Life

Sam Charette, who loves hismunicipal politics, has been apopular choice of Blezard Valleypeople for over 17 years. "I was14 years as a councillor and twoyears as reeve," he said. "I waselected another year too but re-signed before taking office. I'venever lost an election," he addedproudly.

Sam has also been an Inco em-ployee for many years, his con-tinuous service dating from 1937although he had worked at Incoas early as 1928. He is now enjoy-ing a service pension and hopes todevote more time to his home, hisfamily, and his politics. "I didn'trun this year," he said. "My wifewanted me to give it a rest, butnext year - well, we'll see,"grinned this old campaigner.

Born at Rockland near Ottawa65 years ago Sam was raised InAzilda and Sudbury where hisparents settled early in the cen-tury.

A lumberjack for some five years,he left the bush in 1918 and gota job at the old British American(Murray), working there until itclosed the last time in 1925. "Iwas a tapper in the smelter," Samsaid.

He worked a number of years atthe McMillan mine and also atthe Frood in the late twenties andearly thirties, He was hired atLevack in 1937 and the followingyear moved to the Frood Open Pitat the start-up of that operation."My first job was digging a ditchto drain a swamp there." "WilfGrubber and I are the only twomen still at the Pit who were thereright at the start."

A bulldozer operator for manyyears, Sam has worked at a varietyof jobs both on production andwith the mechanical department.The past year he has worked inthe plate shop at the Pit.

Mrs. Charette. who does not en-tirely share Sam's enthusiasm forpolitics, was formerly Mary Frap-pier and they have been niarriedsince 1933. Very proud of his familySam enjoys visiting and helpingthem. His son Maurice is a mem-ber of Sudbury's police force.daughter Jeanine Mrs. A. Prevost)

lives In Kapuskasing, and Claudet-te and Beatrice are at home. Mr.and Mrs. Charette have eightgrandchildren.

Sam has a big home on 80 acresof land In the Blezard Valleywhere he still keeps a team ofheavy draught horses, a noveltyin these times. "I just keep themas pets. I've had them over 10years and hate to part with them.Besides I get a kick out of exer-cising them."

In addition to his municipalresponsibilities Sam for some yearshas been a member of the board ofPioneer Manor, a post he enjoys.So what with family, farm, friends,politics and a genuine interest inall phases of community life, SamCharette is going to be a busy andhappy pensioner!

Retired from Creighton on dis-ability pension after almost 31years of service, John Belous looksback with pleasure on an interest-ing life and ahead with pleasantanticipation to a comfortable re-tirement.

It cost John exactly $152 to comefrom his native Poland to Win-nipeg in 1927. "I only stayed onthe farm there one week though,"he said. "I had to milk 32 cowsso I quit."

Hopping a freight for the Lake-head he soon joined a railroadextra gang near Sioux Lookoutand in three months had savedan almost incredible $700. "Iworked sometinies 20 hours a day,"he said. "Nothing else to do. And

Wiggin WorkersBattled Storm

• Under the heading "A Fight toGet to Work" the Wiggin News ofJanuary 10 describes harrowing ex-periences of employees of HenryWiggin and Company, Inco-Mondsubsidiary at Hereford, during thebitter winter weather that struckEngland. The story reads in part:

Through some of the worst con-ditions in living memory in Here-fordshlre, Wiggin personnel dugtheir way through snow drifts,waded through snow over their

• knees, and slipped and slitheredalong ice-bound roads to get towork.

The battle to reach the plantwas fought with grim determina-tion and a number of people ar-rived with nightmare descriptionsof the journeys they had made.One of the worst was that experi-enced by Jim Hogben, an elec-trician, who took five and a halfhours to dg his way along a sevenmile stretch of road.

Mr. Hogben, who lives at BroadOak, near Abergavenny, began hismarathon journey to work at 4.30am. Driving his Bond Mini-Car,he got three miles from home whenhe ran into snowdrifts up to 10feet deep. He returned home andthen joined forces with John Gril-fiths, an instrument mechanic atHolmer, who was driving a van.

Then for seven miles they dugtheir way along the Abergavennyto Ross road, for they were thefirst people to attempt the journey

• that day and snow ploughs had notyet reached that part.

They arrived at work at 11 am.,the Journey, which is normallycovered in 40 minutes, taking sixand a half hours.

Brendn Treanor, a stock clerkin the Accounting Department,was cut off at his home at LulhamCourt, Madley. For four days heand his family were without milkor coal. At his third attempt hesucceeded in forcing his waythrough the deep snow and walkedtwo miles to catch the bus tobring him into work.

The attempts to get to the fac-tory, despite the arctic condition.s,brought a tribute from the generalworks manager, 0. Lewis Jones.He said, "Employees have madewonderful efforts to get here. Anexcellent job has also been doneby those engaged in keeping theroads within the works clear ofsnow."

Disposal of U.S. GovernmentSurplus Nickel

During the year the Presidentof the United States announcedconcern over the large surplusesof metals, including nickel, held invarious stockpiles. It was laterdisclosed that the amount of sur-plus nickel, including nickel undercontract to purchase, was approxi-mately 140,000,000 pounds.

"This situation is of concern toall metals industries, since anyliquidation by the Government ofit vast holdings of metals wouldseriously disrupt metal markets.It is our opinion that the nickeland other metals considered sur-plus should not be disposed of butshould be kept in the present stra-tegic stockpiles. Nickel inventoriesare easy to store and maintain andmay indeed prove to be among theGovernment's most valuable assets.For, as demonstrated during therecent Cuban crisis, military andstrategic plans can suddenly shift,and nickel is one of the mostversatile of all metals. If nickelinventories were liquidated, itwould be either very difficult or im-possible to replace them promptlyif they were needed for futuremobilization requirements.

'The only other feasible alter-native, should the Governmentdecide to dispose of these surplusmetals, would be for the Govern-ment to work out a long-rangedisposal plan with each industryconcerned. Such disposal plansshould call for the respective in-dustries gradually to absorb thesurplus metals over a period ofyears and to sell them throughregular marketing channels.

It is not realistic to think thatthese large holdings of surplusmetals can be liquidated directlyby the Government itself, evenover an extended period of time,without disrupting the markets.The Government would become, ineffect, another producer competingfor sales opportunities, uninhibitedby costs, capacity or other condi-tions controlling private producers.The Government would representa new force with which privateproducers would be unable to com-pete. And the private producerswould find it extremely difficult tomake and proceed with their for-ward production plans, which formining operations must necessarilybe done years in advance if futureoutput is to be maintained orexpanded.Cut-Back in Production by INCO

ducers. During the year Inter-national Nickel continued vigor-ously to pursue these activities,including intensified research onboth known and new nickel-con-taining materials, the augmenta-tion of technical services offeringassistance to consumers of nickel,and the broadenflg of market de-velopment programs.

"In view of the contributionwhich nickel makes toward qualityand the heightened interest ofconsumers in all markets forreliable, long-term performanceand enhanced appearance ofmanufactured products, Interna-tional Nickel is keying it adver-tising and publicity programs tothe theme, Nickel - its contribu-tion is Quality'. Since nickel tradi-tionally endows products withstrength, durability, corrosion-resistance and aesthetic appeal.this theme is essentially anintensification of the Company'smarketing approach over the years,The advertising and publicity pro-gram - launched in the fall of

this year - reflects the belief thatthe accelerated demand for qualitygoods will significantly effect anincrease in the application ofnickel.

Outlook"The total consumption of nickel

in the free world over the pastseveral years," Mr. Wingate said inconcluding his remarks, has re-mained at an encouragingly highrate, despite fluctuations in thequantities employed in the variousprincipal consuming areas and therelatively unsettled world economicand political conditons. The long-range prospects for increased con-sumption of nickel continue excel-lent, and it is anticipated that inthe coming year the use of themetal will equal or exceed thelevels of recent years."

All hourly rated employees atFrood-Stobie mine and Frood andClarabelle Pits were eligible andno limit was placed on the numberof entries a man might submit.Brevity was advised and judgingwa based on originality, applica-tion to mining operations, and theue of seasonal words and phrases.

Here is a sampling of just a fewof the many hundreds of entries:Frood's Doug Fisher picked up $5for 'Christmas comes but once ayear, Safety seasons always here.Another consolation winner wasOliver As.selin who rhymed Above,ahead. be.sid(', behind. Keep thesafety rules in mind.' Otherswere; For safetys sake try to be,

More alert In '63." A New Year'sresolution to make, Safety rules tonever break." Regardless of theseason, Safety rules are always inseason." Safety - the perfectchoice for everyone on your Christ-mas list," There is no bettersafety rule than a used one' "Ifyou practise safety all year round,You won't get hurt working under-ground.' It's not the right way,if it isn't the safe way."

One Stobie miner wrote "Safetyis like money, no one ever has

enough of it", and another, Evena fool, when working safely, iswise." Pulling no punches a Froodminer wrote The man who didn'tlook, Is in Copper Cliff hospitalwith a book." Said another, "Xmasis the time for turkey and cake,Not to cry at somebody's wake.Work safely."

And finally one entrant summedit all up and expressed a fine tri-bute to his fellow workers withA safety-conscious miner, There

isn't any finer."

A month's workis required in the refinery foundry under the expert eye of foremanHenry Limoges to make and dry the sand cores in which every ring,rib and boss of the casting has to be incorporated.
