The same fate awaits the tug Lynda- .Hindman, which is in the harbor, and the barge 'Mitschfibre, which wag due in any time. The work is being done by A. J. Frank and Son Ltd., of Hamilton. which purchased the vessels from the Hindman Transportation Co. Ltd., ,of Owen Sound. Marvin Frank, an officer of the company, said it has been in the metal business in Ham- ilton for more. than 80 years and is one of the oldest metal dealers in Canada. The Sulphite -was built in 1919 by the United 'States government, but was immed- iately sold to Deteiit Sulphite Paper" Co., of Detroit. It was used to tow pulpwood barges from Port °Arthur and Mich- ipicoten on Lake Superior to Detroit. , It was purchased in 1954 by Hindrnah Transportation WINS KIT Susan Freeman, daughter of Mr. and' Mrs. Stan Freeman, R.R. 1, Goderich, has received a bieyole accessory kit which she pwo'n as a second prize in the Elmer the Safety Ele- phant contest which appeared in The Signal -Star. and has been inoperative most of the time since then.

The tug was purchased by Hindman Transportation in 1953 and was used in ice breaking for several years in Port Arthur and Fort Wil- liam as well --as'• lowing pulp- wood barges. Barge Mitschfibre was built in 1885 and 'was used to carry coal, iron ore and pulpwood from Michipicoten to Detroit. ch ievement Two .,of Dominion Road Ma- chinery Co. Ltd.'s unofficial (salesmen were in Goderich Monday. Ontario Minister of Eco- nomies and Development, Stanley J. Randall, arrived to present DB CO with an "A" for Achievement award - a scroll and a blue flag -with a,. large gold "A" which waa raised' over the company plant. Mr. Randall recalled days of selling road graders in Ghana and Nigeria with DRMCO president John K. Sully on government export missions. Mr. Randall` was accompan- ied by Minister . of Highways' Charles MacNaughton. He spoke of his travels in Ontario . and correspondence with Mr. Sully. Enterprise Shown "If I see a Champion .grader, I say, 'This is an en- terprising 'community, and I must do something to,,, help them out.' "If I don't see a Champion grader, I say: 'These people have a lot to learn'." Mr. MacNaughton suggested that in future he can alert. DRMCO to, those communities. that don'thave a Champion machine and are a sales pas- sibility. Mr. Randall explained -t-hat the achievement award is given to companies that have made an outstanding contri- bution ,,to the a c. o n o Jnr y through increased plait- cepa- , city, importreplacement, re- search development, and 'ex- it port sales. 'He said DRMCO has in- creased its plant size by 50,- �` • 400 square feet and spent $541,000 on new or replaced tool equipxnent—both 80 per cent—and increased Canadian content of products 75 per cent to a value of $272,000, in the past, three years. More Jobs He noted that employment since 1964 has risen 65 per cent from 217 to 359. "You have a research and development program with an investment of one per cent of your annual sales volume," Mr. Randall said. "Through this you have developed an internationally -renowned hy- drostatic -type transmission for road grader use, and you are now developing this transmis- sion !for other applications." DRMCO's total exports from 1961 to 1966 were about $8,- 400,000, Mr. Randall said. The company is currently export- ing 35 per cent of total pro- duction to 12 countries. • "Thisi proves that enter- prising companies such as yours, . operating in small municipalities such as Gode- rich, can compete success- fully in the international market of the world." Mr. Sully said- that in-, the past 21 years the company has struggled to build a "Canadian product." "We have had success; we still have a long way to go, but with the help of our :Champion builders we are go- ing to be hard to beat," Mr. Sully said. The audience consisted of local business and industrial men, DRMCO . employees and their families, who toured the plant during the afternoon.
