Wilson's farming efforts are spreading from the land to the sea. The company has an experimental fish farm in Puget Sound, where it is developing plate-sized salmon; the only salmon now on the market are 30-to 40-pound-ers that are caught in the wild with a great deal of labor. These projects are part of Wilson's drive to develop more consumer products, which require less capital investment than the industrial commodities that now bring 78% of Union Carbide's sales. "It won't happen in my lifetime," says Wilson, "but some...
Unique Advice. Boeing's problems grew increasingly acute over the past three years when virtually its only two customers, the U.S. Government and commercial airlines, cut back drastically on orders. As the company's employment in the Puget Sound area fell steadily from a high of 102,000 in 1968 to 47,838 a year ago, plunging Seattle into a depression, Boeing President T.A.

...Aerospace firms now employ just over one million Americans, down more than 25% from three years ago. The total is expected to shrink by year's end to 962,000, the lowest since 1958. Boeing, the contractor for the SST, expects to "bottom out" this year in the Puget Sound area at 29,500, down from 44,000 at present. Pink layoff slips will be sent to 7,000 at Boeing early this week...
...breaks and consequent ecological damage-Canada's pipeline would follow the relatively flat MacKenzie River valley along most of its 1,700-mile route. Moreover, the Canada pipe would obviously avoid the peril of foundering tankers spilling their cargoes off the Pacific coast or in the navigationally tricky Puget Sound area...
