TERRACE GROCETERIA OPED SEPTEMBER 18TH Promptly at 9: a.m. on September 18th, Terrace oe ee ee TL TT SE TS TN Bay's second store opened for business. Operating in temporary quarters next to the Lower Camp Commissary, Terrace Groceteria, will ultimately be located in the shopping centre now under construction in the Townsite. On the morning of the official opening the first three customers were Mrs. John Jeanneret, Mrs. L. Wilson, and Mrs. Helen Cook (Upper Camp). Terrace Groceteria, operated by Mr. G.M. Lumbers, formerly of Toronto, carries a complete line of groceries, fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh and cooked meats. Store hcurs are as follows:- Daily 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m, Open evenings Monday, Wednesday and Friday---6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Closed Thursday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. NO_PROSPECTS OF IMMEDIATE SETTLEMENT OF MEAT STRIKE Canada continues to face the worst meat shortage in her history as the strike of 12,000 packinghouse workers enters its second week, The dispute has closed every one of Canadas 21 major meat packing houses - cutting off 75 per cent of the normal meat supply and the amount of meat available to Canadian con- sumers continues to dwindle, As we noted in lest week's issue of Terrace Bay News, Dominion Catering Company has done everything possible to assure an adequate supply of meat as long as it is available. As the shortage grows more acute, every effort will be made to plan menus that will be as satisfactory as possible under the circumstances. We trust that everyone will continue to cooperate with the Catering organization as they de their best in a difficult situation. LiL in SOCIAL CLUB DANCE OCTOBER 3RD Plans are well under way for a "Fall Frolic" at the Recreation Hall on Friday, October 3rd.

The "FALL FROLIC" is sponsored by the Terrace Bay Social Club, su Cutie GOOD HOUSEKEEPING AROUND THE JOB. This week, we had our first snow flurries at Terrace Bey, Just when the first heavy snowfall will come is anyones guess. It may be soon - it may be a couple of months away. Because of the uncertainty, it's not too soon to think of the housecleaning around the job which should be done before the snow falls. We are thinking of tools, equipment and supplies which should be moved inside or winterized. . It's surprising how difficult it is to locate things after they are buried under a foot or so of snow. Even more important is the need for the type of housecleaning that will eliminate hazards which might result in serious accidents. Protruding nails are a decided hazard at any time - much more so when covered by snow. Building material improperly piled or placed are doubly hazardous when winter comes.
