Page 6 HERE AND THERE (cont'd) Last week Ruth Bangartt was feted at a party given in her honour on the occasion of her birthday. An album of Inkspot records was presented to her. A delicious lunch was served on a decorated table, centered by a lovely cake, (Thanks a million Kay J. the baked goodies and cake were superb). Many more happy birthdays, Ruth, ine AT THE LAKESHORE (by Associate Editor Jim Whyte) One of the major phases of the project here in Terrace Bay is the délivery of cool, clear water from Lake 'Superior to the townsite and mill. In its entirety this job calls for the installation of about 1600 feet of concrete pipe stretching out into Lake Superior for the intake, a pump-house on the lake shore and a steel pipe line running above ground from the pump-house to the mill, a rise of more than 300 fect in less than 2 miles, This line will be tapped by the townsite for their supply and will pass beneath the C.P.R. tracks just east of the station. The last piece of the intake pipe was placed beneath the lake surface on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 27th. Work is now scheduled to start on the passage of the line under the C.P.R. tracks. The installation of the steel pipe itself will not be started until next year. seid FROM THE RECORDS 18 Months Ago At Terrace Bay Only 2 temporary buildings had been erected in the entire Long Lac project.

In the great lakes there is an open season on lake trout all year round. Several sizable catches have been made at the mouth of the Aguasabon River and two partics fishing out from Rossport have really hauled in the big ones. Mrs. R.I. Clowes hooked a 17 pounder--Gordon Bird a 19 pounder and Doc Roberts caught a 20 lb. lake trout last Sunday for what is probably the record catch of the season for Terrace Bay folks, It's too bad the fishing contest ended on Sept. 15th Doc, ieee
