ATKEY, Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1946 A NORTHERN ONTARIO'S FUTURE poo,000,000 pulp mill program is setting the future industrial pattern for a large section of the Ontario northland. Chief interest centres in two communities east of Port Arthur on the north Shore of Lake Superior. One of these—named Marathon after the company—has already been bulk and its pulp mill NMI go into production shortly. Prelikkary work has been •started on the other, at Terrace. To the north of these mills lie huge forest areas, a rich source of their raw supply. These limits may supply wood for the aifetime of the new mills under modern for- estry and timber -cropping methodS. Both new towns—they will have populations of up- wards of 3,000 persons—are in an area where there has been little industrial development. Much of the wood from the Lake Superior watershed has been taken to other Canadian mills and even to he United States for process- ing into pulp. To many lumbermen, their construction represents the start of a new cycle of industry based on forests. They recall the way sawmills sprang up with towns clustered about them late in the last century and early in the present. However, those mushroom growths came quickly and with little -cost cormpared to the present. For instance the Marathon development cost something !like $10,000,000. Terrace is to cost even more. Other features of the ever -all Ontario pulp program lie in the rehabilitation of the ghost town of Espanola near Sudbury and a projected joint pulp -sawmill operation at the town af Blind River, midway between Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury. Espanola for years was one of the busiest tow -ns the north. But in 1930'its source of life disappeared when the Abitibi Power and Paper Company dosed its outdated rain. An American concern, the Kalamazoo Vegetable Parchment Company, now has taken over the old mill and the town is humming once again. At Blind River the pulp -sawmill operation is planned by the Huron Forest Products, Limited, which has taken over the McFadden Lumber Company sawmill and plans to erect a pulp xnill which may cost $10,000,000. It will be the first such joint operation on a major scale in Ontario. Its loggers will cut over the forests and the wood which is unsuitable for lumber will be converted into sulphate pulp, used in making coarse paper. These and other developments have a much wider significance than their inimediate value to the communities concerned. They will increase the north's demand for food and manufactured goods from other parts of Canada. And they represent an important forward step for a great in- dustry based on one of the nation's most important natural resources. tiv' .'" 0 0 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Today -- The shadows of today will disappear in tomorrow's =netlike. O 0 0 Isn't it true? A golfer feels personally responsible when he 1r1a)res a nele-in-one, but blames fate for every other accUent. O 0 0 Starvation stalks hi many lands. If we, itt Canada, buy and eat less, the Dominion Government can ship abroad grealer quantities of vkal foods to (the hungry. O 0 0 A fann scene shown on the 14 -cent denomination of the new series of ‘Canadian Postage stamps being issued next month, has a plow turning over the furrow on the left side instead of the customary right. Enough to make any good Ontario farmer turn over in his grave! O 0 0 Huron County Council is marching right along with the new Court House project, a special meeting having given first and second readings to a by-la.w authorizing the sale of $250,000 debentures to cover its cost. The by- law is now before the Ontario Municipal Board for approval before being given third reading and finally passed. O 0 0 Canada is staging a hard—and we hope not losing -- fight to avoid excessive inflation. A sharp one-month illereaSe of 1.5 points in the official cost -of -living index, from 123.6 to 125.1 (1935-39 average equals 100), is re- ported by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. This brings the increaee to five points in the past four months, a total gain of 24.1 per cent since August 1939. O 0 0 St. Marys Chamber of Commerce has enabarked on an interesting inquiry in the appointment of a committee to iirrestigate the feeling of the townspeople regarding pay f • the •town coturcillors. If the committee finds that public opinion favors such a move, then the Chamber will write to tee Town Council suggesting the plan.

One of the , letters received is as follows:' 5' Oostersingd, 'Ass -en, Holland, July 17, 1946 • MY DEAR MRS. ELLIOTT: It is with a .feeling of great joy and satisfaction that I am finally acknowledge receipt of four of the packages. It is a great load off my mind for I was beginning to think that everything had been stolen. A small Dackage mailed by husband in Amsterdam which had ' been brought by plane front New York never reach- ed us and a package we were to receive from a friend mailed April 23 has not turned up yet. I should have found it terrible for you and also for us Who were looking forward to the packages • And 'did they ,m.wpass our most sanguine hopes and ekpectations! We hadn't been expecting anything of the 'sort. Even -thing so beautifully Peeked with so much love and care and not the smallest item overlooked, You haye no idea what such little things as needles, pins buttons and thread mean to us after all these years of privation! , Not wetting to be accused of hav- ing played favorites et not having been fair, I delivered all the packages at once to the Sister's Circle, some- thing like a Lathed Aid Society of the church. I thought they could deliberate carefully and 1thought, fully to whom the things should go and who ivas most needy. They were simply in eestaey over the contents and were very generous in their Praise. The first to be helped was a woman present who had been bombed in Rotterdam and erho had lost everything. She had a little girl of seven who got the blue shoes, a blue cotton frock, apron and several other things. All these refugees we've always had to help and clothe and that's why we are all so badly in need of everything. There was a lovely little blue shirt -Which was go- ing to be turned on the other side which was just like new. The people do that here. When the clothes are worn threadbare on one side, even men's snits are taken apart and made up again on the wrong side. One of my boys is wearing a coat of his father's which has been turned inside out end looks very well. Your little blue coat was a beauty —bow well you C1111 sewl Everyone wanted it for someone else. But it was finally decided to give it to the six-year-old daughter -of the dominee with matching mittens, socks and cap. They have •four children all born during the war for whom they haven't been able to buy a thing. They have been absolutely depend.1 ent on the generosity of others for , "hand-me-downs." We thought if we I gave it, to them they -would really appreciate it and it would do for all I four children in turn, boys and girls ; alike. Well, the dominee and his wife couldn't believe their eyes and good fortune when they heard it. They hadn't been expecting any such stroke of luck and they were beside themselves. Four children in six such . years has been a trial not only from the standpoint of clothes but also of food for the mother. get anything like this when I came."

I applied for one foe the girl in question, It turned out that there were only 8 packages. They were divided between 16 mothers and 150 were disappointed.

The man was delighted and came home with me to get the shoes. I showed him the box containing your coat and other things and he wanted to take everything along with him then and there. They handle mostly used clothing and he had never seen anything like all your things. "We have so many antis daily," he said. "you have no idea, we could use it so eieely." But I said, "Na, the ladies of the ehmoh haven't been able to do anything in so many years, want to give them a chance now."

Urge Beverage Bottles Be Returned at Once 'Shortage of newsupplies of glass, breakage and the accumulation of stocks of empty bottles in the hands of consumers, have created a critical situation in the distribution of bottled beverages, Failure on the part of consumers to return "empties„ . for re- use has literally created, a "bottle- neck" in the distributien process. A .special appeal is mirrently be- ing made to purchasers of lighter beverages to clear the "empties" from SUITIMOr cottages and cellars and get them back to th. line. Frozen assets in the form of empty -hottlee in consumers' Ilan& only gather dust—but when they are returned to t'he manufacturer they enable a breeder distribution of the 'product. Cartons should also, be re- turned in as good condition as pos- sible as. the quantity which can be obtained is restricted.
