He said that there are always peo- ple on hard times, and those who receive the donations might be single mothers, people who have been laid off or on long-term disability. They may also be people receiving small pensions, who haven't had a job in a long time or are on welfare. "'We have them around,"' he said. Vanderkam noted that the sup- plies left over for Thunder Bay were picked up and transported there free of charge by Lakehead Freightways. He said the local schoolchildren really helped out. When they came to the fire hall, they were pulling their sleighs full of food and money. The communities should be prais- ed for their efforts to help those in need during this season and the whole year. Hopefully this season will see many smiling faces.

A 'clear the air' meeting, called by the Ministry of Northern Develop- ment and Mines, was held in Geraldton on Dec. 17 and was at- tended by Lavigne, representatives from several ministries, including Northern Development and Mines, Natural Resources and Labour, representatives of Indian Bands from the North and representatives from the Lumber and Sawmill Union. According to Lavigne, Lavallet said that 50 per cent of the survival plan is in place, and there is 50 per cent left to go. Lavigne then questioned Lavallet about what's left for Terrace Bay and he replied that the survival plan is finished for the mill in Terrace Bay and the remaining 50 per cent of the plan is for the Woodlands operation. Lavallet said that nothing more is going to happen in Terrace Bay- there will be no more layoffs, reported Lavigne. Approximately 40 people attend- ed the meeting.
