Although it is impossible to tell from this height, there just might be one or two golf balls previously lost in the bush down below. As most of us well know, things change. It might be fun on a lazy summer day to imagine how the town will change in the next 40 years, but you'll probably have more fun getting out to play ball.

The chimney has been out of commission since 1972 when the Ministry of Government services changed the heating system for Birchwood Terrace. The building was formerly owned by Kimberly-Clark and was used as a hotel before its present designation as a retirement home. Coal-fed furnaces within the building were the primary heating source for the Recreation Centre, Birchwood Terrace and some of the buildings in the business section. The chimney carried the smoke and gases up and away from the town. It was inspected by an employee of McLean Chimney of Toronto approximately two years ago, and 7 concern over structural strength and the possibility of a lightening strike was expressed. "It may be sad to see the landmark of Terrace" Bay go, but it's for the safety of the residents in the home and the> townspeople. That comes first," Joubert said. The News was unable to contact Tom Gash, the adminis- trator of Birchwood Terrace, to determine the cost of the project. - A. J. Gauthier Clerk-Treasurer Township of Schreiber P.O.
