�THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT

r

As we come to the end of our fourth
year, we stand on the threshold of celebrating the accomplishment of what has
been our main objective and, indeed, the
primary purpose and catalytic force that
launched this Lakehead Chamber of
Commerce in January of 1965, the physical and economic union of our competing
municipalities. Yet, as we rejoice, one
cannot help but be sobered and humbled
by the recognition of what is possible
when men of good mind and purpose set
about in logical, planned and researched
fashion to do something for themselves
and their communities. The Board of
Di rectors of 1965 set themselves a target
of five years. Their initiative and vision
cannot be criticized, but the significant
P.R. COOK
fact is that nothing would have been possible if it were not designed for the greatest common good.
To me, therefore, our greatest single asset could be our acceptance
by the greatest number in the many-faceted community we serve. To
speak with a voice compounded of reasoned common sense and a sense
of justice for the majority, accepted seriously by the news media and
listened to with respect by the many must be our most jealously guarded
possession.

This past year, the Fort William-Port Arthur and District Labour
Council and the Chamber initiated a joint liaison committee. We believe
this to be a first in the field of labour-management relations and we are
encouraged and pleased by the discussions to date and the accomplishment in municipal relations with our joint meetings with the local
councils.
I think, too, we can be proud of our relationship with the senior
Chamber bodies. Our purposes were admirably met in our attendances
at the Annual Meetings of both the Ontario and Canadian Chambers and
with the Northwestern Associated Chambers of Commerce at the annual
presentation to the Ontario Cabinet. The Lakehead prospers as Northwestern Ontario prospers, without the one the other cannot exist. Our
continued attention and participation in the activities of the various
Chambers and the parent association of the northwest is most justified
and recommended as an increased endeavour.
We continued to move ahead with vigour in all our activities and I
would be wrong if I did not recognize the efforts and honest good work
of each of our committee chairmen and executive officers. I am well
aware that in more than one instance, the task assigned was anything
but pleasant and I admire the patience and fortitude exhibited in each
case. Such action makes the Chamber.
I am satisfied that our committee reorganization was good. I am
sure it has taught us some lessons and no doubt the next Executive will

�ANNUAL AND GENERAL MEETINGS

President's Report Continued

•

A powerful message on the respon­
sibility of the business community
to the country was delivered by
William M. Anderson, president of
the Canadian Chamber of Commerce
at the third annual meeting of the
Lakehead Chamber of Commerce at
the Lakehead University early in the
year. The meeting featured the in­
duction of the new president, P. R.
Cook.

•

Thought-provoking topics such as
highways, mining and tourism were
animated discussions at the "What's
Your Beef" Night at the Spring in­
terim meeting at the Royal Edward
Hotel. President Cook gave a brief
synopsis of the work of this com­
mittee to date.

find ways to improve again and to adjust for the demands of the next
year.
The cost-revenue squeeze continues to be our greatest problem and
the one most demanding of early solution. The time has come when we
must recognize that we cannot continue to provide the level of service
we do; especially in the field of tourism, without a substantial increase
in income and, yet, any decrease in service would reduce it below an
acceptable level. Not only must the municipal structure take a greater
part, but ways must be found to encourage greater participation among
retailers and those closely connected to the tourist industry, the groups
who are the weakest supporters of the Chamber and, at the same time,
enjoy the greatest part of the budget.
I close in expressing my sincere thanks to a competent staff, the
Lakehead news media, and all those who have added something to the
betterment of the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce.

DR. W. G. TAMBLYN
Chairman, 1st Vice-President

DAVID S. CHEADLE

•

Reports of the scheduling of the completion of Lakehead Expressway beyond the original 1970 completion date, brought a strong
protest to the Highways Department from the Chamber resulting
in adherence to the original calendar.

•

Some steps were taken by Canadian National Railways to improve
the level crossing in the Lakehead Cities at key traffic areas after
Chamber of Commerce representation.
The Chamber of Commerce, with other public spirited bodies, made
strenuous efforts to induce the federal minister of Public Works to
dredge the Mission River in the vicinity of the Valley Camp Coal
Company site to facilitate trans-shipment of iron ore pellets. Subsequently the government reviewed its earlier decision and has
now undertaken to dredge and deepen the river without user
participation.
Lack of solution to the vexing problem posed by the James Street
Bridge across the Kam River continues to be a community anxiety.
No appreciable progress has been made with the C.N.R. which
maintains present facilities are adequate for its purposes. The
Chamber will continue to act with municipal authorities to study
this navigational hazard.
John Andrews is delegate and your chairman an alternate delegate
on an ad hoc committee of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce sup•
porting the existing policy of the Ontario Chamber of a toll -free
Welland Ship Canal and no further increases in the tolls on the
St. Lawrence Canals.
The committee is watching with concern the advent of containerization and unit train introduction and the attendant pressure this type
of competition might impose upon development of the full potential
of the St. Lawrence Seaway. These developments emphasize holding Seaway costs to realistic levels to ensure this mode of transportation will be competitive with others.

received from the Chamber of Commerce a copy of the Chamber pamphlet, Economic Facts and You.

•

After receiving the booklets, committee members spoke to all high
school classes on the importance of
the free enterprise system.

•

The Northwestern Ontario Regional
Science Fair, an annual feature of
the Lakehead, was again supported
by the Chamber of Commerce with
a cash prize won by one of the contestants, Keith Laderoute.

•

To impress upon the commercial
and industrial concerns of the comARTHUR J. BLACK
munity, the Chamber urged the
Chairman
provision of summer jobs for high
school, college and university students.

•
•

•

Two courses in Human Relations were sponsored by the Chamber
of Commerce at Lakehead University in the Fall in conjunction with
the Ontario Department of Education. Course lecturers were Fred
Soughton and Donald MacCormac. Earlier in the year two other
courses, Business Law with D. S. Cheadle heading it, and Management Accounting with Stan Wylynko and Gary E. Garner as leaders,
were well attended.

•

The problems of the youth in the community were explained to the
Committee by representatives of Youth Incorporated, dedicated to

�RESOLUTIONS

•

•

Basically the actions of the Chamber
of Commerce by resolution are directed primarily to governments on
the local, provincial and federal
level. Your Chamber, through affiliation with the Northwestern Ontario Associated Chambers of Commerce, the Ontario Chamber of Comm-erce and the Canadian Chamber
of Commerce, makes these approaches.
Four motions received the unanimous approval of the Northwest
Chambers at Dryden:
1)

DR. C. M. JOHNSTON
Chairman

8

Universal metal tags be implemented so claim stakers may
buy tags at nearest district mining recording office for use
anywhere in Ontario.

2)

Claims stakers be authorized to stake any number of claims
provided no more than 90 claims are registered on a license
at any one time.

3)

Properly compensate businessmen for enormous work incurred
for collecting taxes and form filling.

4)

Repeal Succession duties in Ontario.

•

The Ontario Chamber of Commerce at Sarnia annual meeting
sanctioned two Lakehead resolutions:
1)

Will ask Ontario to initiate far greater mining and geological
research to stimulate mining activity leading to industrial
promotion.

2)

Request province to make it mandatory for all communities to
adopt daylight saving time with commencement and termination
dates occurring at same time.

•

Also at Sarnia, John Andrews, was delegated as Lakehead representative on ad hoc committee to maintain present O.C.C. policy of
Welland Ship Canal toll free and no increases of tolls on St.
Lawrence Canals.

•

Lakehead withdrew its recommended policy statement on Logging
Tax amendment because of Ontario Chamber's overall proposals
regarding the Report of the Ontario Committee on Taxation.

•

Eight delegates from the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce attended
the Calgary annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
Despite a valiant attempt on the part of H. A. L. Tibbetts of Fort
Frances, the meeting would not accept our recommendations on the
control of foreign-based operators of chartered aircraft.

•

Although unsuccessful in electing a director to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Lakehead is represented on the Ontario
Chamber of Commerce by three members as directors: E. E. Clow,
C. E. Mapledoram and Brien O'Brien.

•

�MERCHANTS CO-ORDINATING

•

Night shopping and Christmas store
hours were principal topics of time
occupation of committee members
representative of retail merchants
of both cities.

•

After being informed by the Port
Arthur City Council Legislation Committee early in February that it was
considering amending the store
hours bylaw to include one night
shopping, merchants of both cities,
in a mailed ballot, voted 76 per cent
in maintaining existing store hours.
A ballot return of 77 per cent was
recorded.

•

The City Legislation Committee
communicated again with the reROBERT HAMILTON
tailers May 13 announcing that the
Chairman
stores bylaw would be amended authorizing Thursday evening openings. The Merchants Co-ordinating
Committee countered with the suggestion that this revision be held
off until adequate parking was provided in all market areas.

LIAISON

•

•

•

•

•

The Chamber of Commerce recommended that if store hours were
to be altered that they should be done so in co-ordination with the
City of Fort William . Both cities subsequently amended the bylaws
to include night shopping Thursdays until 9 p.m.

DR. H. K. N·ANCEKIVELL
Chairman

A unique departure in Chamber
action was the invitation to the
Fort William-Port Arthur and District
Labour Council to form a common
bond of discussion on projects for
the benefit of the community at
large.
Labour acceptance to the idea saw
the committee co-operating on overtures to both City Councils to deliberate on how labour and management could assist the municipal
bodies.
A successful luncheon involving
mayors and aldermen was held at
the Lakehead Labour Centre on the
mutual assistance offer.
·

A sincere effort will be made in
1969 to continue the theme of this
committee and possibly expand its terms of reference.

•

•

Furthering its efforts to understand better labour relations problems, the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce was successful in having
as its guest speaker at the fourth annual meeting Mr. William Dodge,
secretary-treasurer of the Canadian Labour Congress.

��TREASURER'S REPORT

AUDITOR'S REPORT

•

•

A. MILLS PATON
Treasurer

•

Many complex situations have confronted us this past year. However.
I do feel that we have accomplished
a great deal. The new dues structure
certainly allowed us to maintain
stability and reflected a surplus. If
we are to continue to show progress
other changes will be necessary.
Because of the ever increasing demands for providing accurate, informative and factual information,
administrative and operating costs
continue to soar. It is quite obvious
that we must solicit increased financial support from the membership and from the cities. I can assure you that all expenses are carefully considered and that all concerned continue to work diligently
on your behalf.

My thanks and appreciation to the permanent staff under Harvey
Johnson and Bob Middleton and also to the Contact Club members
who through their initiative assisted our current year's finances
greatly. May next year allow us to continue fulfilling our obligations.

20th January, 1969.
To the President and Members,
Lakehead Chamber of Commerce of the
Cities of Port Arthur and Fort William,
Port Arthur and Fort William, Ontario.
We have examined the balance sheet of the Lakehead Chamber of Commerce of the Cities of Port Arthur and Fort William as at 31st December,
1968 and the statements of accumulated surplus, revenue and expenditure and source and application of funds for the year then ended. Our
examination included a general review of the accounting procedures
and such tesets of accounting records and other supporting evidence
as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion these financial statements present fairly the financial
position of the Chamber as at 31st December, 1968 and the results
of its operations and the source and application of its funds for the year
then ended, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

This Port, with 25 Terminal
Grain Elevators having a storage
capacity of 106,000,000 bushels,
is recognized as one of the world's
greatest concentrations of bulk
grain storage.
The potential receiving and
shipping capacity of its Terminals
has never been taxed to the limit.
The Harbour plays a most strategic and important role in forwarding Western Canada grain to
the markets of the world.

and the size and spacing of the buckets. The normal eleva•
tor receiving and shipping legs in our Terminals are
equipped with an 84 inch head pulley and operate at a belt
spread of 688 feet per minute.

Our Terminal Elevators are world renowned for their
grain storage capacity, rating among the greatest for
world ports. Only limited information is now available, however, as to the combined potential of the receiving, cleaning, drying and shipping capacities of the equipment installed in the 25 Terminal Elevator plants. These basic operations are primarily responsible for the part our Harbour
plays in moving Canada's exportable grain to world markets.

Conveyor belts in general operate at a speed of 850
feet per minute with capacities depending on the width of
belting.
Each carlot of grain is discharged into and accumulated in the garner bin located on the garner floor directly below the top floor of the workhouse. It is then dropped
by gravity into a hopper scale on the scale floor immediately below where it is weighed under government supervision.

In the year 1964 our Terminal grain Elevators moved
445,319,081 bushels of Western Canada grain and were
responsible for 68.4 % of the total tonnage handled by
the Lakehead Harbour (12.8 million tons out of a total of
18. 7 million tons). Forecast figures for the 1965 Western
Canada grain crop indicate that in excess of seven hundred million bushels of wheat will be harvested, near an
all-time record. Canada's export commitments already
assure a maximum movement through Ihe Lakehead
Harbour during the 1965-66 crop year.

From this point on, the grain may be dropped by
gravity directly into a small workhouse bin to enable its
further cleaning, processing or seperation. It may also
proceed directly to the large storage annex bins via a belt
conveyor located on the bin floor.
Likewise, the procedure in shipping grain out from
the Elevator via vessel or rail car is more direct than the
receiving process. Grain in storage is drawn from the
storage bins and carried on a basement conveyor belt back
into the workhouse section. Here it is elevated to the top
floor on a shipping elevator leg. It passes through the
shipping garner and scale units and finally reaches the raII
car via a special car loading spout, or it discharges into
a small upper shipping bin and from here it reaches the
waiting vessel via a boat loading spout operated from the
dock level.

During the past two years the Harbour Commission
has cooperated closely with the Canadian Wheat Board
and the Board of Grain Commissioners in providing harbour tours for Trade Commissions from numerous countries overseas. Thousands of tourists from Canada and the
U.S.A. have also visited our harbour. Many ques.tions have
been asked regarding the Terminal grain handling facil ities and the Lakehead Harbour Commission feels that a
brochure in this regard would be most informative.

IIJI l

Early in 1965 the management of all Grain Companies
having Terminals at the Lakehead were unanimous in
their approval that such a brochure would be beneficial.
Complete information was provided by the elevator operators regarding their respective plants based on questionnaires distributed to all Elevators. These were later reviewed by a personal visit of representatives of the Harbour
Commission to all Terminals.

Pertinent facts covering the combined potential of
all Terminals for receiving, cleaning, drying and shipping
to vessels and to railway boxcars for each Terminal Elevator are included in this brochure as an appendix listed as
TABLE No. 1.

The following totals cover the combined potential of
all Terminal Elevators:

Grain in Canada is handled in bulk. The normal procedure is to preserve the identity of every car of grain only
until its grade and weight has been established under
government supervision at the Lakehead. Subsequent to
this procedure the general practice, for convenient handling purposes, is to bulk together carlots of grain of the
same type and grade.

(1) There are 25 Terminal Elevators located on the Lakehead Harbour, 14 located on the open roadstead and
11 on the River systems.
(2) The combined storage capacities for all 25 plants are
as follows:
Workhouse Capacity-8,621 ,900 bushels- 8.12%
Storage Capacity- 97,543,000 bushels-91.88%

Cars are hauled into the track shed section by means
of a motor driven car puller cable and spotted directly
over a receiving pit. The grain is then unloaded using hand
operated shovel equipment or the more modern automatic
boxcar unloader. The complete contents of each car is
dumped into a track receiving hopper. The grain then
passes along a conveyor belt to an elevator leg which, in
order to take advantage of the gravity flowing quality of
grain in bulk, lifts the grain to the top floor of the elevator workhouse. This elevator leg is equipped with a vertical rubber belt carrying small steel buckets. These legs
vary in carrying capacity depending on the width of belt

�operated by the various Grain Companies at the Lakehead.
The effective working capacity of the Terminal Elevators
is said to be approximately 95 million bushels.

(10) Grain Drying Equipment
Some 22 of the Lakehead Harbour's 25 Terminals
are equipped with grain drying equipment. There are
30 drier units with a combined drying capacity of
22,700 bushels per hour. Units vary from 300 to
1000 bushels per hour capacity with an average of
748 bushels per hour.

(3) Twelve plants are switched by both C.P.R. and C.N.R.
Nine plants are switched by C.P.R. only.
Five plants are switched by C.N.R. only.

Grai.n drying is accomplished by passing dry heated air through the grain. Drier units are provided
with intermittent discharge mechanisms and may be
arranged for both continuous flow or batch drying.

(4) Railway trackage on elevator sites will accommodate
1675 loaded grain cars.
(5) Railway trackage is also available at the sites for 1633
cars from which grain has been unloaded.

Driers are rated on their ability to reduce the moisture content of grain. For instance a 1000 bushel unit
would be required to reduce the moisture in the grain
by 5 % when operating at 180 "F and with humidity
not over 80% at a rate of 1000 bushels per hour
without damage to the quality of the grain.

at 8 plants.
Hand operated shovel pits -179 units located at
all 25 plants.
Combined unloading capacity-180 cars per hour or
approximately
360,000 bushels per

The purpose of reducing the moisture content in
grain is to enable the elevator operator to store it
in a bin without the hazard of deterioration by heat·
ing, etc. Grain with a moisture content in accordance
with the percentage limitations established by the
Canada Grain Act is considered to be in warehousing
condition and may be stored indefinitely without resulting damage.

potential for this operation, based on records already established where automatic car dumpers and where manual
unloading shovel equipment are in use, would indicate that
in some instances, under the most favourable overall operating conditions, the unloading figures for cars unloaded
in an 8 hour day were 50 % greater than the average
given.

December 7, 1961, the total grain loaded on vessels
eastbound from the Lakehead was 20,608,000 bushels
or an average of 3,443,666 bushels per day. based on
a 5 day work week. It will be apparent therefore that based
on the survey just completed end taking into consideration the added handling facilities made available since
1961 our Lakehead Harbour grain Terminals have not as
yet been taxed to their full potential.

freighters we would point out that during the week of

LAKE SHIPPERS' CLEARANCE ASSOCIATION
The contribution made by this o~ganization in expediting the movement of grain is outstanding. Organized
in 1909 by the grain shippers themselves it operates as
a clearing house for grain documents, combining same
from various shippers, whereby the maximum dispatch
is rendered to vessels taking on cargo. In the same manner it augments movement by rail by arranging the most
advantageous distribution of cars to terminals for loading
with a minimum of switching operations.

RICHARDSON TERMINALS LIMITED

year requiring approximately 254,000 boxcars annually
during the five year period 1957-8 to 1961-2 according
to Board of Grain Commissioners for Canada statistics.
The impact of the 1965 Russian grain purchase
in amount some 215 million bushels in itself will require
approximately 114,000 boxcars and 500 ocean going
shiploads according to transportation authorities. The
delivery period for the Russian order terminates in July
1966 and the eastbound rail movement to the Lakehead for transshipping will average approximately 350
cars per day, Sundays included, to meet this schedule.
Superimposed on the normal movement under the current boom economy in Canada the task confronting our
railroads today will require a major effort on their part.

Warehouse receipts issued by any Elevators are tenderable in satisfaction of any purchase of grain made in the
grain markets. Without a clearing house for handling
such documents a vessel would be required to take on
grain at every Elevator against which the shipper held a
warehouse receipt causing serious loss of time due to
vessel movement in the Harbour. By combining warehouse
receipts and permitting maximum loading at any one
Elevator, the movement of grain is expedited and the cost
of marketing same Is kept at a minimum.

However the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian National Railway have demonstrated that they can
jointly delivered to their Lakehead marshalling yards over
1000 cars daily with existing rolling stock. Marshalling
yard space at the Lakehead includes 126.1 miles of C.P.R.
trackage and 93.08 miles operated by the C.N.R. It is a
matter of record that during the crop year 1963-4, August 1st, 1963 to July 31st, 1964, grain deliveries to Lakehead Terminals by the C.P.R. and C.N.R. were as follows:

The Association, handling as it does all outward
shipments, and having on call at the Terminal Elevators
large quantities of grain at all times, is in a position to
place boats at Elevators that are full and would otherwise
have to close down for want of storage space. By this
action the Association keeps all Elevtors unloading cars
to the maximum degree possible and the overall unloading
capacity of the Port is maintained at its maximum at all
times.

The operators of the Lake Shippers' Clearance Association have proven that it is rendering to the grain trade,
the Terminals and the transportation companies a most
valuable and indispensable service. It is admitted by all
interests that the business of shipping and transporting
grain could not be economically or successfully carried on
without its activities.

The maximum calendar monthly delivery in November
1963 was as follows:

The chain of transportation facilities required to move
our Western Canada grain from the farm to the several
export outlets viz: westward to the Pacific Coast, north to
Hudson Bay, east to the Lakehead and on to the AtfanHc
Ocean, includes some very important links. Our two great
transcontinental railways, a number of Canadian shipping
companies operating vessels on the St. Lawrence Seaway,
together with ships from overseas under foreign registry,
cooperate to provide this service.

It will be of interest
to note that with existing
diesel engine power solid

million bushels per day. This quantity could be loaded out
by its 25 Elevators. This figure is contingent on proper
grades being available to meet export commitments, on
vessel space being available here at all Elevators and depends on the ability of elevator facilities at Eastern Canada Terminals to unload the lake freighters and reload
the grain to ocean bottoms with equal dispatch. Any delays at the St. Lawrence River Terminals or at lower Lake
Ports due to lack of ocean cargo space would curtail the
movement and our Lakehead output would Qf necessity
slow down with reducing Port handling.

(3) Monitor Screening Separators of the Huntley Co.
Design

These machines have also been in service for many
years for reclaiming usable grain and seeds from the
screenings removed by the receiving separators. As
many as nine sets of screens provide numerous separations and machines are equipped with two air
separations. Local installations number 20 units.
(Style "A")
(4) Monitor Flaxseed Separators of Huntley Design

Separators of this type are also used to clean
flaxseed in many Terminals. Both screen and air separation are provided in this operation with remarkable
efficiency. Local units installed number 24 style
No. 8A .

It would seem apparent, however, that the present
urgency of demand of Canadian wheat particularly on the
Continent of Europe and in other world ports would require adequate ocean vessel space being made available
at our export outlets during the 1965-66 crop year.

&lt; w.l
:z:~
-c
al:

These separators provide an initial air separation
which removes immature grains, light impurities,
chaff, dust, etc. The grain drops onto a roughing
screen where stones, sticks, strings and coarse refuse are taken off. Additional screening operations
take place which remove other cereal grains and a
further air suction is applied to remove impurities
not caught in the initial air suction. The cleaned grain
discharges to conveyors thence to an elevator leg. This
equipment has been in use for many years. Local installations include 178 Style No. 11 B, 27 Style No.
108 and 41 Style No. 98, a total of 246 units.

&lt;I')

I-

&gt;::,

Huntley Design

The survey shows that with favourable operating conditions including appropriate weather in Western Canada
and vessel space being available at the Lakehead the 19634 average handling record can be greatly exceeded.

(2) Receiving Separators, Style "B", Monitor Type,

During the rush season before the close of navigation on the St. Lawrence Seaway, grain cars numbering
1,400 could arrive daily via our two railroads, be unloaded at our Terminals, and returned to Western Canada's
country elevators for further grain shipments.

With great lake bulk carriers operated by Canadian
Companies and their affiliates, as per TABLE No. 4, carrying single cargoes up to 1,000,000 bushels approximately
plus the ocean cargo vessels loading in the Port for direct
shipment overseas, our water movement potential is, in
our opinion, adequate. Cargoes as great as 1,000,000
bushels have been loaded out at a single Lakehead Terminal in ten hours. With their numerous hatches and
wide unobstructed holds, lake vessels can be loaded much
faster than ocean vessels .

(5) Cylinder Type Separators of Superior Separator
Co. Design

Equipment of this design is installed in many
plants. These cleaners provide two air separations
and up to five selective cylinder separations for
handling various types of grain. Screenings are handled by similar equipment in a number of plants and
some Terminals are equipped with Superior Width
Graders for wheat and oat separation.

LU

a:,

All in all 353 units of Superior Separator Design are
in use at the Lakehead.

As in the case of all modes of transportation it is
essential that industrial harmony prevails and that labour
unrest does not interrupt this phase of the transportation system.

Of several designs are used for removing pebbles.
nineteen units are installed.

During the calendar year 1964 some 963 lake
freighters and 80 ocean vessels loaded grain at the Lakehead Harbour with a crop movement of 447,453,212 bushels. In addition to the above grain 151,497 tons of grain
screenings including the pelletized product were loaded
out on lake vessels. Our shipping potential to vessels
greatly exceeds the 1964 crop movement.

(7) Threshers

( 1) Electro-Magnets

(8) Cylinder Machines, Uniflow

For breaking up wheat heads.
Eight are in use.

Type by Hart-Emmerson Co.

Over each receiving conveyor belt an electro-magnet is located to remove from the incoming grain all
metal particles such as nails, wire, bolts, and screws,
etc., which would damage equipment used later in
the cleaning process.

These machines are used
in some plants. Styles No. 44
and No. 45. total of 56 units
are in service.

(9) Carter Disc Machines of Strong Scott Design

( 10) Eureka Receiving Separators of S. Howe Co. Design

Carter Disc Machines for wheat and oat separation
have been in use for many years in several plants.
sixteen units are in service.

Machines of this design are in use in several Terminals. Twelve machines are in service.

FORECAST OF COMBINED POTENTIAL OF
BASIC OPERATIONS AT OUR 25 TERMINAL ELEVATORS
SASKATCHEWAN WHEAT POOL No. 6

navigation based on existing survey figures could
proceed at a rate of 100 cars per hour or 800 cars
per 8 hour day, approximately 190,000 bushels per
hour, if market conditions required same and railway
equipment was available. Under the most favourable
operating conditions with 84 car loading spouts some
elevator authorities point out that the above figures
can be greatly increased .

Under entirely favourable operating conditions including weather, adequate rail movement to the Lakehead,
availability of vessel space, etc., a fair estimate of what
might be handled in a normal work day during the fall rush
by our 25 Terminals would be as follows:
(1) Railroad Trackage available at our Terminals and Car

SASKATCHEWAN WHEAT POOL No. 7

Unloading Potential
Loaded cars spotted at Elevators (100% track
full)-1675 cars all of which could be unloaded in
a normal day's operation. Based on 2,000 bushels
per car, 3,350,000 bushels per 8 hour day could
readily be taken into the Terminals. On a conservative
basic figuring three cars per hour for automatic car
dumpers and one car per hour for hand operated
shovel equipment the output would be 200 cars per
hour for the 25 Terminals or approximately 1600 cars
per 8 hour day. With five automatic car dumpers one
of our largest Terminals has unloaded 283 cars in ten
hours or 5.6 cars per hour per dumper.

(5) Potential for Drying Grain

Adverse weather conditions in Western Canada
such as prevailed during the fall of 1965 stress the
importance of having adequate facilities for drying
grain. Our survey indicates that the Lakehead has
available some 30 standard grain drier units with a
combined capacity of 22,700 bushels per hour. This
indicates a potential for drier use of ten cars per hour
or 240 cars per 24 hour day, should wet and damp
grain require treatment to reduce the moisture content of same and insure it was in warehousing condition .

(2) Cleaning Potential

SASKATCHEWAN WHEAT POOL No. 8

SASKATCHEWAN WHEAT POOL NO. 12

Drier units in general are rated at from 500 to 1000
bushels per hour, based on an average of 5 % moisture extraction.

Based on normal cleaning capacity of 287,000 bushels per hour the 3,350,000 bushels unloading from
cars as above could be cleaned in 11 hours approximately. Cleaning operations, however, in grain Elevators can proceed on a 16 or 24 hour basis depending
on the export requirements and the convenient availability of vessel space for shipment to Eastern Canada. On a 24 hour basis our Terminals' cleaning potential therefore is upwards of 6 million bushels with
average grades and dockage content according to the
survey data.

(6) Dust Collecting Systems

To eliminate the hazard of dust explosions and provide the best possible atmospheric working conditions for elevator employees, our Lakehead Elevators
are equipped with the most modern systems of dust
control. The movement of grain through the Elevator
creates objectionable dust and to collect same whereever possible air suction is provided to collect dust
particles and discharge same to dust collectors us ually located on the exterior walls of the Elevator. The
dust collectors separate out and retain the heavy
particles of dust and the exhaust air discharges to
atmosphere.

(3) Shipping to Vessels Potential

SASKATCHEWAN WHEAT POOL No. 5

With vessel loading restricted to the normal
eight 'hour day for the period April 15 to December
15, and not considering vessel movement delays,
the combined shipping potential to vessels for the
25 Terminals based on 50% only of maximum capacity would be approximately 5.5 million bushels per
eight hour day. This is about twice the 3,443,666
bushels per day record established in 1961. It was
significant to note in passing that one single Elevator
in one of our largest Elevator groups loaded onto a
Great Lakes Bulk Carrier vessel 1,000,000 bushels in
ten hours. It also demonstrated its ability to load 180,
000 bushels to the same Great Lakes Bulk Carrier in
a single hour and 550,000 bushels over a 4½ hour
period averaging 122,000 bushels per hour on this
occasion. Other Terminals have demonstrated their
ability to load vessels at a comparable rate.

To illustrate the modern dust control system installed in a typical Lakehead Terminal Grain Elevator,
your attention is drawn to sketch No. 2. This sketch
clearly indicates the many locations of dust collecting
equipment and the number of exhaust fans which provide the required air suction to operate the control
system.
We would strongly recommend for those interested in the crop movement in Canada that
they obtain a copy of
the Canadian Wheat
Board Bulletin No.
2 issued in

�September, 1963, dealing with the storage, transportation
and grading of grain in Canada. This informative bulletin
gives capacity statistics for Elevators in the interior and
at all ports in Canada and explains in detail the control
exercised by the Board of Grain Commissioners in the operation of our Elevators under the Canada Grain Act. It describes also the grain movement from the farm to the ultimate consumer. It outlines the facilities provided to handle
grain shipments in the country, at our Lake Ports and on
the seacoast. It explains the official inspection system used

to establish the grade of grain under consideration so as
to maintain the high standard enjoyed by Canadian grain
in the markets of the world.
The duties of the Canadian Wheat Board set up by the
Canadian Government are explained. (This Board controls
the sale of all grains entering commercial facilities. It regulates the delivery of all prairie grown wheat, oats and
barley from the farm to country Elevators using the quota
systems to obtain the orderly marketing of the exportable
crop.)

AUTOMATIC GRAIN SAMPLERS
MANITOBA POOL ELEVATORS No. 2

SASKATCHEWAN WHEAT POOL No. 10

all modern grain Terminals in Canada and the U.S.A. Small
metal buckets on moving chains pick up samples from
the stream of grain on the belt conveyor. Every receiving
conveyor belt is equipped with this device.

The identity of every car of grain unloaded at ou·
terminals is usually preserved until the weight and gradt
of same has been established by representatives of the
Board of Grain Commissioners for Canada. When this information has been obtained the Elevator operator is permitted to route the grain to a storage bin containing grain
of the equivalent type and grade.

Shipments out of Terminal Elevators are sampled
continuously by similar automatic samplers or by an official
of the Board of Grain Commissioners of Canada to insure
that the shipment meets the grade specifications in every
respect.

To insure an official representative sample of the grain
being obtained automatic sampling machines are in use in

SUMMARY
bour, more grain from Western Canada of the type required to meet the demand of world markets must be delivered to our Terminals. By maintaining a constant flow of cars
to our Terminal Elevators their combined unloading capacity will be greatly increased.

The survey, in addition to tabulating the facilities
available at all Lakehead Elevators for receiving, cleaning,
drying, and shipping grain in transit to Ports •in Eastern
Canada and for direct shipping overseas, clearly indicates
that the maximum potential for these operations, based
on records already established, has never been fully realized.

It is equally important that adequate vessel space be
made available to enable shipping operations to proceed
at a speed in keeping with car deliveries over rail transportation.

It would seem apparent therefore that to insure an
increased movement of grain through the Lakehead Har-

A farm yield of 51.000 acres is required to
produce a vessel cargo of 1,000,000 bushels.
It would take approximately five trains totalling
566 boxcars to transport this grain from the
prairie country elevators to the terminal elevators at the Lakehead in order to fill the
holds of ONE of these giant lake freighters.
These million-bushel bulk carriers are approximately 730' long and 75' wide and draw 25 ½
feet of water.
