APRIL 1964 PAGE 11 OCEAN FALLS REPORT by Peter Marshall

Our regular correspondent Gordie Griffin has quit the Falls, so I am stepping in.

The whole community was shocked by the suddenness of the illness that struck with such severity at on of our local doctors, Bernard McDdaniel. We wish him speedy recovery.

Modifications to number 2 paper machine have been completed with minimum of grief. The men were required to work 12 hours at a stretch for the 10 day period to complete the work.

Congratulations to Mike Potyrala and his staff in the Hotel kitchen for the tremendous job they are doing supplying extra meals both to the men on the 2 pm job and the many contractor's personnel on town.

The March meeting was put back until March 31st. Item one on the agenda is a dues increase from the present $3.50.

Many thanks to MLA Tony Gargrave for his support in our efforts to have the Martin Valley Road improved.

Why is it that Ocean Falls appears to be the only port where visitors are not permitted to go freely aboard the Northland Steamship vessel Northland Prince?
