PAGE 6 TERRACE BAY NEWS NOVEMBER 2, 1977 A HISTORY OF TERRACE BAY: CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 eee The first school was opened in a private house with Mr, Clarehce Smith as Principel and staff, I think he had about a degen pupils, We used what we called a recreation hell for Church, The Catholic Masses were at 8:00 and 9:00 and the United Service at II:00, This hall was also used for Saturday night movies. When I went to early Mass on a Sunday morning, the movie of the night before had been, the Mating of Willie and facing me on a large poster was a half naked female, Need -less to say, it didn't last long. If I had my energy and concentration powers I know I could relate meny amusing incidents, but which are really irrele- vant, Dr, Shaunessy, our first Dentist and I were the only first war veterans here at the time and used to take an awful rib- bing from our would be soldiers of the second war, at our annual banquet. Over the thirty years of operation we have never experienc- ed a serious stoppage of work which speaks volumes for the calibre of young Canadians the local unions elected and also the Company negotiators. It is interesting to note that of the early nurses, I ven- ture that over fifty per cemt found life long partners here and to lesser degrees teachers, office staff and the early girls of the Dominion Catering Co. When the Company owned all property in the Townsite, they were much concerned about the Environment and we could not destroy a tree without their consent and it is rather disturb- ing to note the number of our besyiirul birch trees disappear-- ing each year. Of our clubs the Kiwanis and Chamber of Commerce has been phased out for the lack of membership but the Mason, the Knights and Legion are still very much with us and the coming of the Kinsmen looks as though they will be a real asset to the Commmity, I must add that the ladies Auxiliaries have been, and still are a real must for every Mmioipality. In late I947 or early 48, the late Herman Roberts asked three or four men to meet at his home at which meeting the Boy Scouts Association became a reality. During this period Terrace Bay used to take an awful clob- bering from Schreiber and Marathon in hockey. In desperation the late Joe Adamo end I got ourselves elected to the hockey association. We set up a meeting with the Mill Manager and Comptroller of the Company, who were both Americans and tried to impress upon them the importance of the sport to Canadian Municipalities during our long winters, The Comptroller told ws in no uncertain terms that the Company was hiring pulp work- ers, not hockey players. The reason I mention this, is that the irony of the situation was that the Mill Manager's wife be- came a rebid hockey fan and in no time we had the best team in the North Shore league, They went all the way to the Canadian Intermediate finals in Looombe, Alberta. I must pay tribute here to the contribution of the late Joe Adamo to sports in general end hockey in particular.' In 947-48 when my family were all here we had a Cavanaugh bell team. We played a couple of games each year against the girl's team and although the stands were filled with ball fans the only support our team got was from my wife. We had a local softball league composed of three shift workers teams and an office staff, The wives and families of the players certainly produced plenty of rivalry. One of the most vivid highlights of my sports recollection is the night we officially opened the High School. After the ceremonies, and by virtue of my being a member of the Improve- ment District Board, Mr, Bill Kelleb a Vice President of the Company, cslled me aside and showed me a blue print of the proposed new million dollar Recreation Complex ~ with artifi- cial ice yet] He asked me not to devulge the plan, as an official announcement would be coming soon. The hardest seoret I ever had to withold. No record of Terrace Bey would be complete without the men- tion of the valuable contribution of Mrs. Ellen Hodgkiss to our cultural living over the years. She was at different times leader of both the ladies and men's choral groups and of the excellent band.
