Kalbfleisch has just announced the completion of plans for the operation of the F, C. Kalbfleisch Mill, in Zurich. A new company has been formed under the name of Zur- ich Wood Products Limited. This has been made possible as a result of the co-operation and interest of a few business men in Zurich who feel they would like to join in an effort to con- tribute to the economical and industrial growth of the village of Zurich, and at the same time share in what is generally con- ceeded to be an excellent op- portunity for investment. A complete and detailed .an- nouncement pertaining to the new company officers and di- rectors will be made at a later date. "I can say now, how- ever," Mr. Kalbfleisch said, "that I will remain with my new associates in •an advisory and consultant capacity." "It is fortunate." Mr. Kalb- fleisch said, "that these plans are being carried out' at a time when Zurich is in the midst of quite an expansion program. I am thinking particularly of the progress being made on the Blue Water Rest Home, the Huron Member AnnoR noes Plans For Fkth©r Work According to information re- ceived Wednesday afternoon from Robert E. McKinley, Hur- on MP, a contract will be signed this week for the re -construc- tion of the north pier at Bay- field. The work is to be com- pleted within nine months of the signing of the contract. Successful bidder for the job is the George Dillon Construc- tion Company, of Tecumseh, and the amount of the contract is $48,626. In his telephone conversation with the Citizens News, Mr. Mc- Kinley also told this newspaper that the federal share of grants to high schools in Huron Coun- ty for the purpose of vocational training, have been approved as follows: Wingham, $923,917; Exeter, $660,668; Go d e r i c h, $389,241; Clinton, $236,041. The grants represent the fed- eral share of the building pro - grain for the purpose of pro- viding vocational training facil- ities at these various high schools.

"The operation of the mill is bound to afford new opportun- ity for interesting employment. New people will be attracted to the village and the resultant in- creased purchasing power will surely make its benefits felt within the entire community," Mr. Kalbfleisch added. "These are healthy plans for Zurich — plans that will be welcomed by every resident of the area." The mill will in its initial operations include the setting up of a complete builder sup- ply division. Stocks will. even- tually be carried of every con- ceivable item required by the. building trade. Production plans call fora large-scale manufac- turing operation of "maple squares" which are constantly in demand by the furniture in- dustry in Canada and the Unit- ed States. "The company," said Mr. Kalbfleisch, "has already been assured of considerable business from responsible U.S. furniture manufacturers, and the mill is presently being ar- ranged for the production •of this important specialty." "In planning the operation of the mill, it is intended," said Mr. Kalbfleisch, "that the high- est possible diversified manu- facturing facilities w i t h i n a range of practical economy will St Boniface CWL Hears Reports The regular meeting of St. Boniface Catholic Women's League was held on October 12 in the Separate school. with 42 members and several visitors a t t e n d i n g.

This will eventually allow for- the orthe introduction into the mill's manufacturing operations, the production of all types of gen- eral mill work, domestic boxes, export boxes, crates, pallets, sash, windows and countless other products, along with pre- fabricated buildings," he went on to say. Mr. Kalbfleisch also said that while the initial financial re- quirement of the new company have been provided for, it is quite possible there will be an opportunity for investment in this promising enterprise. If and when the company prefer- red shares would be available they will be issued on a very limited basis, with the applica- tion date for same regulating the order in which shareholders would be accepted. The principals of the new company have already decided to establish an "employee prof- it sharing plan" in which every employee will participate. "This," said Mr. Kalbfleisch, "is only one of many employee benefits that will be offered by the new company." 0 BB Women Host Hensall Groups The Thanksgiving meeting of the Evangelical WSWS was held on Thursday, October 6, with the Hensall t.TCW as their guests.
