Ocean Falls Report by Peter Marshall

Most people will, by now, have heard that Brother Bob McCormick is leaving OF. Bob will take his departure on May 19th. At the April meeting of Local 312 a suitably inscribed watch was presented to Bob in recognition of his services to the Local over the past few years. We wish Bob, his wife Barbara and son Bradley the best fortune where ever they decide to settle down.

After repeated attempts to settle our problems with Nelsons Laundry we are just getting nowhere, commitments are made by Nelsons and then are not kept.

As a result of Brother McCormick's impending departure, Brother Jim Reed moves from Treasurer over to Financial Secretary. Bro. Len Reitlo moves from Standing Committee to Treasurer and Bro. Peter Freund moves into the Standing Committee.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the Local's able secretary Br. Eric Day, presently having minor surgery in Shaughnessy Hospital.

Bro. Bill Smalley will be taking over as Associate Editor of the Western Pulp & Paper Worker for a spell.

... Ocean Falls faces a possible cut back in operations this summer due to water shortage, due to low snow storage on the mountains.
