ne Now our mill is completing is sixth year of operation, Made as modem as it could be at start-up time in 1948, the mill already has seen extensive improvement to make it a better place for you to work, a more efficient, safer operation. In doing all of this, the operation of our mill also has meant a great deal economically: #25,361,800 paid out in mill and woodlands wages and salaries, $28,555,240 for raw mat- erials and supplies and $9,212,700 for taxes, crown dues, ground rent and fire taxes, etc., a total of $66,129,740. The town has undergone improvements, too. You know of the new high school, édaitional housing, new areas readied for residential lots. A new mill office building is about completed. Growth and improvement has been steady. Your mill is young. So is your town, and so are you, for your average age is something like 33, The location of your town and its need to be self-contained, is reflected in what has been done here in the last eight years. To culminate the effort of eight years of continuous construction and organizatio:. toward creating a model living and working community, we gather here this week to dedicata a recreation centre building, It is only right that this be recognized as a culminating effort. First things come first for any pioneers, A mill, the homes; churches and schools; storesand service establishments; sewers and utilities, streets and sidewalks, these all have priority, Now we turn to a centre for our off-the-job activities, It was and is the human relationship, the people of Terrace Bay who made their community and their mill a success, It will always be that way, To the furtherance of those human relationships we dedicate this centre" John 2, Kimberly, President, Kimberly-Clark Corporation,
