It has been said that the
growth of Corner Brook on the
west coast of Newfoundland has
all :the aspects of a fairy tale.
In forty years it grew from a
village of 300 souls to the home
of an industrial giant which
puffs and throbs, chewing mil-
lions of logs into fibre for the
manufacture of paper, while
supplying most of the earned
dollars for families which rep-
resent the city's latest popula-
tion figures of some 26,000.
The town itself in the early
part of this century was: chief-
ly known to Newfoundland rail-
roaders as it was merely a
Whistle stop on the old Over-
land Route. A 'small settlement
near the mouth of the Humber
River, it got its name from this
twisting river which dropped
into the waters of Humber
Arm. Its only industry was a
sawmill that stood at the Mouth
of the "corner brook" owned
and operated by a substantial
citizen by the name of Chris-
topher Fisher.
In 1922 an agreement was
signed which established the
huge newsprint industry and
construction of the mill (re-
putedly one of the largest pap-
er mills in the world) in the
same area was undertaken by
an English firm. Since then it
has been owned by the Inter-
, national Pulp and Paper Com-
pany and in 1938, the Bowater
Organization bought the opera-
tion.
After years of struggle,
through the depression and a
world-wide war, Corner Brook
has emerged with a history of
remarkable progress to its cre-
dit. It became a city in 1956,
has an energetic Chamber of
Commerce and from Where I
stood on the Golf Club's hilltop
watching the mill belch its
white smoke plumes skyward,
it is one of the most beautiful
cities, for its size, of any I
have visited in my travels from
one coast of Canada to the
other.
Every fairy tale must have
a genie or Fairy Godmother.
Bowater can play both parts in
the tale of Corner Brook's
metamorphosis without chang-
ing character. It is true that
since the war other industries
have contributed to the devel-
opment of Corner Brook but it
is to this organization, with its
world-wide distribution of pap-
er 'products, that the town owes
so much. Today 60 percent of
the city's emPloyables are on
the payroll of Bowater's New-
foundland Pulp and Paper Mills
Limited.
The island owes much to this
company for, though it controls
11,000 square miles of timber,
it also employs only planned
cutting ensuring that felled
trees are always replaced by
natural seeding. It takes sev-
enty years for a spruce or bal-
sam fir to mature. Not only
does this firm practise cutting
of the pulpwood trees, it also
keeps a constant watch against
the forest's greatest twin men-
ace, fire and pests.
Dollars Count
Bowater's annual payroll is
$22,000,000. Besides this an ad-
ditional $2,500,000 in purchases
and other costs contributes to
Western Newfoundland. The
company has also played a
large part in community af-
fairs. Arniong its endeavours
have been the construction of a
delightful inn. It has contri-
buted to the establishment of
the Golf Club and a huge rec-
reation park with swimming
facilities.
Playing its own part in Cor-
ner Brook's • spectacular pro-
gress is the Canadian National
Railways. This city has the
added asset of the CN's term-
inal to offer prospective inves-
tors or industries.
