      One of great Canadian Oil Sands Ltd.'s longterm shareholders, Howard Bertram holds bronze alloy medallion given him and other shareholders as token of thanks by tar sands development firm. The company had a difficult first decade operating its tar sands plant and investors also have taken their lumps. No dividends have been paid on common stock and shareholders watched stock hit alltime high of $17, then fell to current price of $5.

      The stock market has been anything but kind to investors in th past year. Two Metro men, Peter Cossete, left, and Stuart Shoemaker, right, might be described as typical individual investors. Shoemaker is disillusioned by recent drop in stock prices, while Cossette still sees the market a comeback in the next year or so, Cossette calls market an irrational creature.'

      Mortimer Doyle, president of the International Snowmobile Industry Association, poses with large snowmobile outside the Inn of the Park yesterday. Despite temperatures around 26 Celsius, the association is holding its annual congress and discussing such unseasonal topics as Snow Country - Winter Fun for Everyone. Snowmobile sales are expected to reach 250,000 in 1978, figures that should keep manufacturers warm in the long winter nights.

      W. H. Thornburn, chairman of the Toronto Stock Exchange board of governors, sees a small revival of confidence by Canadian investors, but much less than I had expected by this time. He forecasts continued sluggishness in trading until corporate earnings improve. Thornburn thinks there could be new speculation in oil and gas stocks when results of winter drilling become available. Cost-cutting and other controls have prepared brokers for any new storms, he says.
