AROUND THE TOWN - continued : Page Four Gardening is still the foremost past-time in the Townsite. It seems to be the thing to do and practically everybody is doing it. This turn-back to the soil, naturally brings forth many interesting stories. Here's one that was brought to our attention recently: The Pagets seemingly started off on all eight cylinders by digging a small plot in their front yard and enriching the sandy soil with fertilizer, lcam and vitamin pills, It was ready to grow any- thing. But did it? The small plot in the back yard which wasn't doctored up at all showed signs of life long before the enriched front plot. And so it goes, traela -, -o00- GTTENTION ST, JOHN'S AMBULANCE CERTIFICATE HOLDERS All holders of St.John's Ambulance Certificates, employed anywhere in the Terrace Bay Project are requested to forward their names tc Fred Soughton at the LongLac Personnel Office in the Lower Camp, -cOc- AT THE MOVIES Friday and Saturday, June 27th and 28th: What a Gal!

D.L.Emerson - Resident Engineer - Terrace Bay Projeet Genial bespectacled David Lewis Emerson first saw the light of day at a little known spot in the state of New York called Oxford, where his dad operated a hardware business, After schooling at Oxford and Clarkson Tech., Dave entered Northwestern University at Evanston, Tll., from which he graduated in 1940 as a Civil Engineer with the degree of B.S. Following graduation, Dave Emerson was hired by F.F."Finn" Martin (Kimberly-Clark Corp's Industrial Relations Department) who was out recruiting promising young graduates whose academic qualifications and scholastic records indicated top-flight ability. "Finn" Martin's judgment in selecting Dave Emerson was fully justified as evidenced by the rapid recognition of Dave's abilities in the Field Service Departmeht as he moved from Mill to Mill working on major shutdowns of equipment which lasted over periods of a week to three months. Further recognition came when Dave Emerson was appointed Resident Engineer at Kapuskasing, Ontario, where Kimberly-Clark built a modern air-conditioned mill for the manufacture of crepe wadding which is converted into Kleenex and Kotex. Dave Emerson first came to Terrace Bay in November '46 and he tcok over the helm as Resi- dent Engineer in January '47. In 1941, Dave married Gladys Merithew of Norwich, New York, The Emersons have two ehildren, Mary Lee and David, both born at Neenah, Wisconsin. Dave's hobbies include a well equipped home workshop and a newly acquired interest in phctography (he recently became the cwner of a movie camera). He is also an ardent gardener. Dave's personality, leadership ability, ability to get along well with people and tremen- dous capacity for detailed work, assure his success. In our first "who's who around the job", we pay tribute to DaveEmerson, our Resident Engineer at Terrace Bay -- a "gcod guy". -o0c-
