Os ON NEWS FROM LONGLAC, CNTARLO Long a¢ 1s the headquarters for more than 1400 persons connected with the Woodlands Department of the LongLac Pulp and Paper Co. Ltd. The responsib- ility of supplying pulpwood for the 300 ton mill now under construction at Terrace Bay rests with the Woodlands Department. It is fitting, therefore, that we at Terrace Bay should become more fully acquainted with Woodlands Department activities and operations, and that their personnel should become more familiar with Terrace Ba; developments since we are all part of the himberly~-Clark family. (\Jith the above in mind we would like to extend con- gratulations to the residents of LongLae village who recently held their First Bonspiel at the new Curling Rink. President of the Longlac Curling Ciub is Alex G. Galloway, Office Manager of Woodlands Department. The fol- lowing news report was written at Longlac,Ontario for the "Terrace Bay News". - Editor-in-Chief). Galloway 'ins Long™ic Bonspiel New Year's Day marked the unofficial opening of the newly-formed Longtlac Curling Club. Following weeks of enthusiastic effort on the part of supporters of this voluntarily constructed e-sheet rink, it was possible to hold a Sccial Bonspiel on January lst. Sixteen rinks were made up and played a win or knock-out event which reached its conclusion on Sunday when Gallo- way's rink nosed out Walter Mills in a point-for-point game, ending in a score of 9 - 5. This bonspiel was the reward %< the residents of Longiac, Ont. for nearly two months - of after-work construction. The idea of having a curling rink in Longlac has been in the minds of residents for over a year but no action was taken until October when a meeting was held of all enthusiasts. It was decided to erect voluntarily a e-sheet rink that might possibly be converted to other use during summer months. Construction began slowly but, once walls of the 180! x 32! building were erected, pressure exerted on novice (and reluctant) curlers brought a good-sized gang out over a weekend and progress speeded up. Now Longiac people can boast of their first conmunity building - one they erected vol- untarily. There are two good sheets of ice and a competent ice-maker - Archie Thompson - a westerner. Overlooking the ice there is a 30! x 32! lounge furnished with chrome fur- niture. The walls are gyp-rock lined and are decorated with pictures donated by some anonymous person. The House Committee selected suitable drapes and furnishings, and Glen Munro outdid himself when he dropped from his position of electrician to "floor-monitor". Jack Brown, Walter Mills and Ken Ure are the law-makers on the ice and are doing a good job of organizing play. Enthusiasm during the bonspiel was high and there was always a gallery of "club house skips" present for each game. Bonspiel enthusiasm was not restricted to the grown-ups either ~ now there are sufficient enthusiasts among the younger people that a Junior Sec- tion of the Club is going to be organized. Cfficially the rink is scheduled to open on January 17th and plans are under way to make this a gala occasion. There is a good-sized surface for a moccasin dance and a com- fortable lounge for those who would rather not dance. oO a Ol vg A note from Fire Chief George Maitland The Terrace Bay Fire Department takes this opportunity to extend thanks to all men and women in the North and South Camps and to all other residents of this community for helping to prevant fires during the Christmas and New Year season,
