HOWE i ation, were shocked at the sudden passing of Clarence Decatur Howe, Although his entry into politics necessi- tated his living a great deal of the time in Eastern Canada, his business associations and many friendships in the Lakehead and dis- trict made Port Arthur always his "home," Canada has lost a great statesman with the death of C.D,Howe,. ; DEVELOPMENT ALONG TRANS-CANADA REVEALED i A tremendous impetus to the tourist indus- ; try and to hunting and fishing in northwest- ern Ontario is seen by Ontario Lands & * , Forests Minister, the Hon,J.W.Spooner as a . result of completion of the Trans-Canada ' Highway--the section from Montreal and Wawa Rivers to Marathon, on the. north shore of Lake Superior. His Department's plans for development of the extensive area now opened up were out- lined by the Minister at the 33rd annual meeting of the Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters, "For many years, people have dreamed of the day when they could drive along the east and north shore of Lake Superior on Highway : 17 from the Sault through country long accessible only by train and aircraft," Mr.Spooner remarked. "Now the gates are open for a flow of traffic through to the Lakehead and beyond..... Long before the recent highway opening ' ceremonies at Wawa, the Department of Lands and Forests had been busy planning to meet the needs of the general public hitherto unable to take advantage of the areas of Crown lands now opened up, especially in the White River area, We are trying to effect the most economi- cal form of overall administration along the section from the Sault.to the Lakehead by combining our chief ranger stations with _ provincial park entrance establishments, >, . thereby avoiding duplication of buildings and achieving operational economy, Establishment of commercial tourist sites _ along the highway is being done through _ co-operation with the Department of Highways ' in determining best locations with safe , entrances to the Highway for convenience, accident prevention and safe driving, Land for commercial establishments such as motels and restaurants along Highway 17 is being ; put up for tender and everything possible is being done to ensure successful operation of such services, We are planning location of appropriate ' and suitable public parks and campsites within easy-reach of motorists. Thus it will be an easy and attractive trip.... In addition, realizing the need for more readily accessible resort areas, we are mak- ing a study of the land along the Trans- wHighway from Port Arthur ee to epee eae pga el Vol.4, | Sanadians, regardless of politica] affili- ~-tapnitiges Ate ent ne eg etl », Post Office Department, Ottawa No.1 January 5, 1961 Lake Superior Provincial Park to determine its best possible disposition, Following the < study, subdivisions will be made next summer on portions of Crown lands along this highway, 'east of Port Arthur," The Minister also announced plans for re- location of some of the Department's ranger headquarters along Highway 17... The new setup will see the chief ranger headquarters at Pays Plat moved to Terrace Bay and the ranger station, at Marathon moved to Neys Park. It is expected that White Lake Provincial Park will be in operation in 1961... Later, another park is planned at Crocker Lake also Hammer Lake is the site of a proposed park and! potential ranger headquarters, "The temporary north entrance just inside Lake Superior Provincial Park is planned. to be in operation in 1961, This is the approxi- mate boundary between the White River and Sault Ste.Marie administrative districts of the Dept. of Lands and Forests; the park is in the Sault District. "At Red Rock Lake will be the Lake Superior Provincial Park headquarters, combined with the chief ranger headquarters. The headquar- ters now at Sand Lake.,.will be moved here, with temporary buildings to be in operation by 1961. "Baldhead River is a potential site for an auto service centre and restaurant. There are other promising sites which must be de- cided upon with the idea of providing the best, most convenient and most strategically located services for the public travelling through this vast and beautiful region..... "The outlook is most attractive when you consider the kind of parks we are providing, for example at Pancake Bay and Agawa Bay, north of the Sault, along the sandy beaches of Lake Superior, These are equipped with facilities and services to make a visit to this wonderland forever memorable." | RED ROCK ROYALS TAKE LEAGUE LEAD Last Thursday night at the Terrace Bay Arena the Red Rock Royals defeated the Super- iors in a hard fought battle by an eight to four score, thereby taking possesion of top spot in the League.
