"More than 100 members of three Chambers of Commerce yesterday made an on-the-spot investiga~ tion of two mammoth development projects 140 miles east of the Lakehead, where millions of dollars are being poured into the construction of a sulphate mill, a model community and a Hydro-Electric Fiant," The above quotations from Lakehead papers, introduced news stories covering the "Goodwill Tour" of the Fort William, Port Arthur and Schreiber Chambers of Commerce to this district on July Loh ° At a luncheon tendered the guests at Terrace Bay, H.S.Craig, Manager of LongLac Pulp and Paper Co. Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Kimberly-Clark Corp.) briefly sketched the extent of the 300-ton sulphate pulp mill development. Mr. Craig also referred to ultimate plans for the community where, in addition to houses, a 50-room hotel, modern hospital and schools, civic com- mercial and recreation buildings would also be built. Speaking on behalf of the Fort William Chamber of Commerce, John Muric, President of the organization thenked the LongLac Company for their hospitality and referred to the "remarkable progress" which had been made since preliminary work parties had surveyed the sight two years ago. Another expression of thanks was offered by Robert Prettie, president. of the Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce. In the party from Port Arthur was W.G.Coventry of Winnipeg, United Kingdom Trade Commissioner to Canada, also introduced at the luncheon. Delegates from the Schreiber Chamber were headed by Dave Duncan, President. Following the luncheon, the party was divided into groups as arranged by R.M.Schneble who also acted as a guide along with Jim Isbester, Bert Flatt, Monty Paget and Walt Lemiski. The groups then toured the LongLac project. The second stage of the visit to this district was a tour of the huge Hydro project just west of the Aouasabon River where a 3450-foot tunnel, 18 feet in diameter, is being bored from Lake Superior to what will be Terrace Lake when a dam (which is also part of the Hydro development) is completed across the Aquasabon. The Hydro development will ultimately generate 53,000 horsepower. During the entire tour, many appreciative remarks were heard concerning the excellence of the arrangements for the tour and the sincere thanks of the business men of Schreiber, Port Arthur and Fort William are extended to all officials of Hydro and Longlac who made the visit possible. -o00- BEVERY BAY DISTRICT, FISH AND GAME AGSOCTATION 4 eres -- Fish and Game enthusiasts turned out despite a heavy downpour last Thursday evening (July 17th) to a meeting which resulted in the organization of a branch of the Thunder Bay District Fish and Game Association at Terrace Bay.
