Lo Scarcely more than a dozen years have passed since men started clearing some of the jackpine flats north of the C.P.R. siding of Black, Ten years ago the last tests and adjustments were being made in preparation for starting up the new Kraft mill, The transition from construction camp to community was already well under way. Now we pause briefly to recall some of the events of those days. The staff of the Terrace Bay News are to be con- gratulated for their efforts in preparing _ this special commemorative issue. In the mill, ten years has seen steady progress made in all phases of the oper- ation, Ten years ago, most of our people were doing jobs in which they'd had little actual experience, Most of the operators were a job or two above the one they'd left at another mill, Many of the trades- men had been helpers elsewhere, Ten years . have changed all that. We now have a well trained work force. Instead of striving to catch up to the job they're doing, practically all are trained a job or two - ahead, if not already at the top of their line, Although our basic process has changed very little, we have learned many things which have boosted production and quality, Some are better ways of using the particular set of.equipment that we have, some are better ways of working with each other -- all "tricks of the trade." They, together with experience and training, have boosted mill production from a design capacity of 270 tons per day to something exceeding 350 tons per day. These production records have not been made at the expense of quality nor safety, Our pulp quality equals or exceeds the goals originally set in eyery category. Terrace Bay pulp continues to hold an envied position among all of the pulps produced within Kimberly-Clark Corporation. In safety, we have a regord which shows Continued on Pg, 2 TOWN DEVELOPMENT The Improvement District of Terrace Bay was incorporated in December, 1947 and the Board of Trustees have been as follows: December, 1947: H.C.

F, Strutt has been Secretary-Treasurer and has provided an invaluable service to the , community. : Now if we think back to Terrace Bay as it was ten years ago, we would find a small, - immature town with about 230 houses set in their natural surroundings of forest, all well serviced with essential sewer, water and electricity 'but with nothing around them but sand and brush, The roads were rough and ungraded. In the spring, snow melted into large pools, flooding roads and running into basements. About all there was for a "downtown was the Hudson Bay Store, Lumbers! Groceteria, the Public School, Terrace Bay Enterprises and Hotel Terrace. The highway still was not completed through the town. Residents in town still went to the "South Camp" for their rec- reation, medical attention, churches, mail & banking. Only shortly before this, even groceries had to be 'purchased from the store in the South Camp. The next two years,' 1949. aiid 1950, were relatively quiet years in the communi ty, but in 1951 activity was again very much in evidence, with the Improvement District, Kimberly-Clark Pulp and Paper Co., (then the LongLac Pulp and Paper Co.) and private enterprise all participating in new deve lopment Contined on Pg. 2
