Page 12, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 2, 1983 Blow, man, blow by MARY HUBELIT We've had a fight - a real knock - down - drag - 'em - out fight! We were knocked down by the fly, and still have to drag one foot after the other, but we're gonna make it! The other day I felt peppy enough to pick up a newspaper - really didn't care what was in it, but at least I picked it up. It happened to be the latest Terrace Bay - Schreiber News, Volume 28, No. 3. Like someone who has been lost for a long time, I seemed to take a whole new look at the paper, and the thought came: "This is a fine little newspaper!"' The idea of 'then and now' comparison was irresistible. I scrambled through my files and came up with "Terrace Bay News, Vol. 1, No. 16, Nov. 13, 1958 Anniversary Issue." Here is part of the Edi- tor's explanatory re- marks: "...Records indi- cate that a start on the first building in Terrace Bay was made in March 1946. However, it was ten years ago on Novem- ber 12th, 1948, that pulp was first produced at the Kimberly-Clark Mill here."' Section One. of that issue was the usual bul- letin of activities around town: "Eastern Star Hold Installation Ser- vice", "Boy Scouts Start Annual Christmas Toy Workshop"; wor- ship was taken care of by Rev. A. Lavender and Rev. E.A. Gallagher; prime time T.V. viewing from Thunder Bay fea- tured Leave it to Bea- ver, Perry Como Show, and of course hockey on Saturday night. The business ads are real mind-blowers: "When in Schreiber eat at the Travelers Home - meals 85 cents and up. Home baking to order. Open 24 hours daily." Chapples Ltd. (now the - Bay) advertised chenille dusters and _ house- coats at $5.29, boys' nylon and wool cardi- gans were $4.98. At the L&L Food Market (now CWL by MARYLYN TURCOTTE The regular monthly meeting of the CWL was held on Monday, Janu- ary 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the church hall. The meeting was opened with a prayer and a scripture read- ing. Marylyn Turcotte re- ported that the pro- ceeds from the Ceramic Christmas Tree Raf- fle along with a private anonymous donation amounted to $300.00. This money was sent to the Co-workers of Mother Teresa in Toronto who purchased with it 3,150 pounds of beans. The co-workers distribute food, cloth- ing, medicine, etc., to various needy countries. Presently, they are sending supplies to In- dia, Kenya, Haiti, and Tanzania. The co-work- ers work directly with Mother Teresa and the sisters and brothers of cher order. We have as yet no convenor for our annual fall bazaar but plans are already progressing very well. Linda Rochon will be the convenor for the Pancake Breakfast to be part of the Kinsmen Winter Carnival. Mary Dashkewytch will be looking into the matter of sending cloth- ing to needy families in Poland. Father Pottie gave his closing message and the meeting was closed with a prayer. Following a_ brief coffee break, Mr. Ted Hanley, our guest speaker, began a special presentation on self- awareness. It was very interesting, provoca- tive and stimulated a great deal of discussion. Unfortunately we had to stop half way through because of a power fail- ure caused by the storm. Hopefully we will be able to have Mr. Han- ley return to finish his presentation some time soon. On Monday, February 14 at 7:15 p.m. in St. Martin of Tours church hall the C.W.L. will be presenting the film "Mi- racle of Fatima." This is a wonderful story as well as a great reminder of our Blessed Lady's re- quest that we say the rosary for peace, and her warnings regard- ing salvation and the world situation. All are held on Saturday, Feb- welcome to attend.

By the way, does anyone remember what the Ontario Mini- mum Wage was in 1958? However - Section Two of this remarkable publication simply glows with optimism and en- thusiasm, backed up by sober statistics. Twenty-five years later this pioneer spirit has become a little tarnish- ed but still is intense enough that we can be very happy with our role in putting Northwest- ern Ontario firmly on the map. Mr. R.G. Shirriff, Mill Manager, led off the pep talk, from which the following are excerpts: '*... Ten years ago, most of our people were doing jobs in which they'd had little actual experience . they, together with experience and training, have boosted mill pro- duction from a design capacity of 270 tons a day to something exceeding 350 tons a day ... In the mill, we are just starting on the first major change to our pro- cess, the change to chlorine dioxide ... there is little doubt that in another ten years we will have even greater things to look back on."' Mr. C.E. Paget's in- terest was in develop- ment of the townsite, as these sample remarks will show: '"'In 1951 de- velopment of the Lake- view Subdivision was started, this being the area west of the hotel and south of the high- way. Since then sewer, water and electric ser- vices have been pro- vided, roads built, and well over a hundred houses have been con- structed in this area, many privately owned and built by people wanting to own their own home ... about this time (1956, 1957) other important additions were made to the com- munity, some of these being two beautiful new churches, the 22-bed modern hospital, post office, liquor store, bank, theatre, clothing store and railway sta- tion ... the Company recognized that some assistance was requir- ed by residents in im- proving the grounds around the houses ... a program was started to landscape all the front yards of these homes ... back yards were also fenced providing people with a defined area to be interested in, and to stop the general habit of taking shortcuts across back yards. Everyone responded to these mea- sures and the resultant interest taken by towns- people in their yards has made our town a very picturesque community and a source of pride to everyone."' The International Brotherhood of Electric- al Workers, Local 1861, submitted the following: '*...opportunity of con- gratulating Kimberly- clark on their magnifi- cent achievement in con- verting what was locally known as the 'Jack Pine Plains' into this north- ern nationally known and prosperous town of Terrace Bay ... another motto of the Company is production with safety and ... we are proud to say that we have not had one lost-time accident up to this date."' 5 Our high school grads tally the fortitude and determination of our families. Our ceme- teries attest the loyal- ty of those early citi-' zens. We have a great ~ history and a great fu- ture, ="All-- in "ai, wouldn't you say we're a darn fine community?
