TERRACE Bay News. Circulation Terrace Bay & Schreiber i ee VIEWPOINTS ON PAPER 'INDUSTRY "In Montreal recently, W.T.Bennett of the Canadian International Paper Company and outgoing Chairman of the technical secion of the Canadian Pulp & Paper Association, said that competition from the Scandinavian ccuntries and the United States will become moré severe during the next few years, "We must work more effectively to get our costs of manufacture down by close control of the comsumption of materials and the use of labor," he said. Russia was giving high priority to expan- ding all phases of its pulp and paper industry, Although demand in Russia exceeded the domestic supply, "it would be naive to assume that Russia would not enter world markets to satisfy her needs for either material or political advantage." He also said that Canada now is running into increas- ing competition from mills in the southern U.S, In Smooth Rock Falls near Kapuskasing, | Pulp and Sulphite workers of the Abitibi ; Power and Paper Company plant met last_Friday inight to decide whether to accept a pay cut to keep the plant operating, Opened in 1917, the Smooth Rock Falls mill employs about 400 men and manufactures bleached pulp sulphite, for which the demand | has been decreasing in recent years. + ? From Dryden comes word of an interview | with Philip Walker of the Albert &, Reed and | Company, Limited, whose head office is in | London, england. The Reed Company recently {purchased control of Anglo-Canadian Pulp {and Paper Company Limited, and its subsidia- | ries, of which Dryden Paper Company Limited, tis one, Mr. Walker said over-capacity exists in the indr.stry largely because it is necessary | to "lay down colossal units" whenever a new 'mill is constructed or existing mills exten- ded, Looking to the future, he seemed convinced the increased per capita consumption of paper and paper products throughout -the world would bring a marked improvement in the industry. He was cautious about making forecasts but seemed convinced non-woven fabrics would be {used in the future for certain items of | clothing. He indicated that increasing transporta- tion costs leave little hope that Canadian (Dryden) pulp would be shipped to England, a also observed that labor costs are placing | Canada at a disadvantage when compared to ; Scandinavian Countries, PLAYER OF THE DAY AWARDS .

She reported that, at the R.N,A,0, Dis- trict No,10 annual meeting held in the Lake- | head in November, the guest speaker was Mr. Paul Werk, Field Officer for Emergency Measures Branch, which is part of the office of the Prime Minister in Ottawa. Mr. Werk | brought out the fact that, up to the present time, disarmament talks have prevented cold wars from developing into hot wars--but pre- paration must not be left until war is declared. There is no plan at the moment for evacuation of problem areas, and radar warning would give a maximum of twenty itinutes| advance alarm, | He stated that a major responsibility rests' with the individual, and he must prepare a | shelter and provide it with emergency rations ,| or he and his family will not survive in the | event of atomic warfare. These preparations | are actually very simple, and well within the power of every individual with very little effort. For further information on this sub- ject please contact Mrs.F,.Cruickshank or Mrs, | C.Buck in Terrace Bay, and Mrs. W.H.Carmichael} in Schreiber. : He also emphasized the fact that large cities would be the main target, but smaller hospital areas would have to care for a great percentage of the casualties in the city. This means that only very seriously ill patients would be retained in our small hos- pitals, since all available space would be needed for emergency patients. Most of the patients would 'be 'sent home to the care of their relatives, and he felt that it was most important that at least one member of every family should have a knowledge of first aid and home nursing; The St.John's ambulance Home Nursing Course which was strongly recommended by Mr.Welk, will be given on Friday evenings, starting in March,. to any Terrace Bay residents who are interested, The course entails a series of twelve lectures, at a charge of $4.00, payable in advance, This fee covers the cost of equip ment necessary for teaching the course, and includes a very good Home Nursing Manual which the student will keep, and which she or he will find-valuable on many occasions in the future, Instructors will be Registered Nurses, and, if sufficient interest is (Cont'd Page 9) mein ne meen nnn en ee ea RESULTS LADIES CURLING TO TUESDAY NIGHT As the lady curlers take to. the ice at 9:00 A.M.
