The Halifax Ukulele Band on Tour. Ukulele band to play A musical group lele ensemble of the of musical ability must known across the coun- try will be playing in Terrace Bay next week. The Halifax Ukulele Band will be performing at the Terrace Bay Pub- lic School on Wednes- day, March 9 at 8:00 in the evening. The "A" Band is the senior performing uku- Halifax Schools music program. There are some 1700 ukulele players in the school system and this is the band in which all of them eventually hope to play. The standards for being part of the group are very high and an individual player's level be exceptional. Most of the students play at least one other instru- ment and also sing in the choir. When at home off the road in Halifax the group meets once a week for a two-hour re- hearsal. The ensemble per- forms frequently in the City of Halifax in the schools and for community and govern- ment functions. It has travelled extensively within the province, Canada and the United States. The group has performed on some 25 television programs and has recorded five al- bums. Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, March 2, 1983, page 5 Letter to the editor Stokes on the Marathon Mill February 16, 1983 Dear Editor: Today in the Legisla- ture I introduced the following motion: That pursuant to Standing Order 34(a), the normal business of the House be set aside to debate a matter of urgent public import- ance, namely: (1) the announced clo- sure of the American Can mill at Marathon and the consequent loss of over 800 jobs in the mill and in woodlands that will result in severe hardship and a loss of a valuable resource. (2) the reluctance of the government to consi- der all alternatives, in- cluding finding a Cana- dian purchaser, or tak- ing over the mill them- selves, or allowing the workers to participate in the Buy Back pro- gramme. The Speaker ruled that it was of immediate, % urgent public import- ance and asked the House if it wished to proceed with the debate. The Conservatives with their majority voted against this motion. The Minister of Natu- ral Resources, Mr. Pope stated that the govern- ment was actively nego- tiating with two poten- tial. purchasers and it wasn't necessary to take the time of the House to discuss the issue. The Canadian pur- chaser is willing and anxious to finalize an agreement if an ade- quate supply of wood fibre is assured. They would require suffi- cient time to effect capi- tal improvements which would make the Mara- thon Mill more efficient and competitive and meet environmental control orders. To add to the confu- sion I am advised that the federal Employment and Manpower depart- ment in Ottawa has con- vened a meeting to ex- plore the possibility of relocating the Marathon work force. We needed this de- bate so that we could bring our concerns into focus and to elicit from the Treasurer, the: Minister of Industry and Trade and the Minister of Natural Resources an iron-clad assurance that the Marathon mill will continue to operate and to prosper. It is most unfortunate that we were denied this oppor- tunity. Jack Stokes, MPP Lake Nipigon [Editor's note: It was announced Friday that a tentative memorandum of agreement has been signed between Ameri- can Can and the James River Corp. for the sale of the Marathon Mill. Buchannan Forest Pro- ducts will hold 20% of the operation. ] JUST ARRIVED!! "As of February 16 Dd BRAND NAME DESIGNER JEANS E % Andre Michel, Big Blue, Silver % G.P. WwW L T Pts. G.F.
