Local Scene

The modernization program for the Mill is beginning to move, and a Contractor's Crew is due in town mid-July to start building a new Bunkhouse to house some 160 Contractors, while the plans for the townsite remain a deep dark secret.

The company will have to declare itself very soon in regard to what degree of participation they are prepared to enter into in connection with the building of a new hospital.

The company have indicated that they will tackle the noise problem in the local Beer Parlour. Indications are that acoustic tiling will be installed and ventilation and lighting will be improved.

The company have also announced improvements to the Cafeteria. The three Industrial Catering outfits have completed their survey. Changes include serving cold items first and hot items last and elimination of the Steam Table System. Improved ventilation, lighting and remedies for the noise level will follow.
