Serving Terrace Bay, Schreiber and Rossport Terrace Ba Schreiber Publie an TERRACE ae POT ayo 4 Onn, 7 Foy, y 35° EP EEE Community faces another blow as Kimberly-Clark's stud mill closes doors The Stud Mill in Terrace Bay has closed as of Nov. 24, and the result to the community will be the loss of 70 jobs. Kimberly-Clark President and General Manager, Jack L. Lavallet, announced that even if the tariff was dropped in return for an increase in Canadian lumber exports, it would still affect the operation the same way. > The stud mill is "a marginal business", he said, and now it is operating at a "definite loss". Lavallet explained that in October when the 15 per cent went into effect, the increase was added to the con- sumer, and "we didn't sell" and the wood was "'piling up". The future is "'totally speculative" he said, but considers the.situation.a '"*permanent shutdown". He continued that the parent com- pany left Terrace Bay to "live and die" on its own and now they're "cutting off the bleeding arm to save the body". Terrace Bay Reeve Ollie Chapman -- said that the layoff is "no surprise"' and that it 'twas in the works for some time", but it is a shock "when it does finally happen'. Her main concern is the people that are affected by the layoff, she said. She wonders why a corporation the size of Kimberly-Clark, with its high profits overall, could let one portion of the company suffer the way Ter- race Bay is suffering. She continued that at one time, Terrace Bay was told that it was part of a 'family', but now. it seems to Chapman that Terrace Bay is the black sheep of that family. down the line, 'It's bad management somewhere *' she said, "but I'm not putting my finger on anyone."' Lavallet also announced at the Monday morning conference that the survival plan "is going extremely well" and that "October was a good month". ' All months are not like that he said. '*Some months (we would) make a little, some months (we would) lose a little." The stud mill is now "a definite loser," he said. Out of the total number of persons being laid off, 13 will bump employees at the pulp mill, and the rest are laid off, with no rights. Arrangements are underway to help those laid off find alternate employment.

In a news release received Nov. 19, it also announced that this is an increase totalling $1.3 million more than last year in total provincial sup- port to public libraries. This money includes direct transfer payments of $26 million to public libraries. The remaining $7.4 million provides funding for the Ontario Library Service and other special library programs. '*This increase in funding reflects the government's commitment to public libraries as focal points for all communities," Dr. Munro said. "This announcement will also assist libraries in planning their budgets because it coincides with the announcement of municipal transfer payments."' Each Ontario public library board will receive an increase of at least four per cent more than their total grant amount of last year. It will be calculated on a per household basis, using statistics prepared by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, stated the release. The grant for county libraries and libraries in Northern Ontario will in- crease from $6.77 to $7.04 per household. County libraries will con- tinue to receive a basic $25,000 grant.
