The new housing units will be rented to Kim-| berly-Clark employees, with a later option to purchase. Additional units will be built in 1976 and "1977. The meeting, held in the gymnasium of the R.R. Steele Community School in Nakina, was in- itiated by Kimberly-Clark to review plans for its development project.
