But many of them are not "good places to live!' -,,.,,..., Fort Willia '\, __ , ..., ,_... What makes a lovely location a "good place to live?" ......., ' di Well, first of all it needs people-men and women of vision and energy. It needs people who are doing things, who like to get worthwhile things done. Such men and women are planners and builders. They make good neighbors and friends. Then it needs some constructive effort at which these men and women can direct their combined efforts. There must be some work to do and the facilities for doing it and doing it well. Given these elements, a lot of other things come along, the things that men and women of enterprise want and work for in the place they call home. That's what brings schools, churches, playground and recreational facilities, civic and fraternal organizations. In this booklet we reprint the story of what Terrace Bay, Ontario has become. This town was planned and built by the Kimberly-Clark Corporation of Neenah, Wisconsin, as the home for the people who operate the pulp mill of the Longlac Pulp and Paper Co., Ltd. Written originally for the Kimberly-Clark company magazine, "COOPERATION," this article should be of interest to those who would like to know more about this beautiful town, which is truly a "good place to live." VIEWS OF TYPICAL residentiol oreos in Terrace Bay. Most of the streets are oil-treated and a continual program of improvement is in progress to provide Terrace Bay residents with all the modern conveniences. Homes shown below are representative of the permanent-type homes constructed for Terrace Bay residents. Extensive landscaping and walk projects are in progress. Duluth~~ . ,I Super1or _,'I I ' ,,-J ' WISCONSIN MICHIGAN HOUSES AND TREES makes the difference. Two important objectives in laying out Terrace Bay were preserving the trees and providing houses that were attractive and varied. The first-time visitor will survey the result as a truly pleasant experience, regardless of the season. IGHT YEARS from blueprint to its present advanced development. That's the proud record of Terrace BayLongLac Pulp and Paper Company's townsite and mill where modern living meets the wilderness on the north shore of Lake Superior. Like few places the traveller can see, Terrace Bay is new-and modern. Its people have grown accustomed to talking about their town as "Northwest Ontario's newest community." They could add, without apology, "loveliest'' and "exceptionally well planned." New the community certainly is. Its homes, its gently curving streets, its carefully planned and located public buildings, and its modern and efficient mills will tell you that at a glance. But it is new in a beautiful. breathtaking way. It shows that pioneering has come a long way since it meant rough living and dangerous surroundings. It shows, too, that we have people in our company who can apply industrial know -how to the job of transforming bush country into a fine , modern place to live in an unbelievably short space of time. E �THE ATTRACTIVE SOUTHERN exposure of the Hotel Terrace. The 54-room hotel looks down upon Lake Superior. The center section houses the dining room on the ground floor while the lobby is on the second floor. Terrace Bay is really two stories. One is the mill-a complex of the most modern pulping equipment which annually produces more than 113,000 tons ($16 million worth) of pulp from what was only a few years ago no more than a home for wild game. The other is the growth of a complete community, which offers in a spectacular, natural setting most of the advantages of modern living. You sense the difference in the town immediately. If you enter by train ( the Canadian Pacific brings you in from Port Arthur 140 miles west in about three hours) your first glimpse is strictly limited. Beyond the neat, new railway station, you catch sight of parts of a few houses atop a rise of ground, pretty well hidden by the trees. And it takes a bit of exploration along the gently curving streets to convince you that there are really more than 3 00 such houses and more than 15 00 people living here. If your approach is by car on the blacktop of the Trans-Canada Highway (No. 1 7), you have a similar experiencea few colorful houses tucked among the trees-before you see the striking lines and the inviting appearance of Hotel Terrace, just off the highway and commanding a lovely view to the south of the terraced slope toward Lake Superior from which the location takes its name. From the hotel, you can see the town's business section, spotted almost casually among the trees and with no more attempt to squeeze it together than has been made with the houses. You can see, down the hill, the modern 22-bed community hospital, and here and there the tops of other homes. Past them goes the road which leads down to the lake front and the river mouth. The houses themselves contribute much to the impression the town creates on the visitor. Necessarily, they had to be somewhat standardized, but the casual observer isn't aware of the standardization. The plans were varied somewhat from house to house. Exteriors were finished differently and painted in a host of bright colors. Units are set into the terrain and among the trees in a casual and pleasing way. Generally the h<;mses are paired, so the wives can look across lots from a kitchen window and see the neighbor's kitchen window. But living rooms face away from each other for privacy. The housing program got under way right at the start- in 1946. More houses have been built annually, until now the demand is nearly filled. There will be a continuing program of building, but on a smaller scale than in the ANOTHER VIEW OF the modern exterior of the Hotel Terrace. This night photo shows clearly the lobby on the second floor w h i I e I h e ground floor dining room of the hotel's center section is also illuminated. ONE OF THE corner rooms of Hotel Terrace that overlooks Lake Superior as do many of the other rooms. The hotel was designed to capitalize upon the scenic beauty that surrounds the location, as this room would indicate. past. Houses are maintained by a special townsite crew, which does the repamng, remodelling, maintenance and landscaping. While the large majority of the town residents are living in houses, there are still dormitory quarters provided for the single men near the mill. Single girls live at the hotel, or with families in some of the private homes. Terrace Bay's Schools Schools have been in operation at Terrace Bay longer than the mill has been running. First classes were started even before the first public elementary school was ready. But that building opened its doors in 1948, and a lot of juvenile feet have scuffed along its corridors since. Schools have been of great importance, if for no other reason than the tremendous potential clientele. A recent school census counted exactly 5 71 youngsters in town-3 00 of them in the school age bracket and almost as many under 5 years of age. That's why the addition in 19 5 2 of a new Continuation School (High School) and a Separate School (for the Roman Catholic elementary grade pupils) was most welcome. Even with the new space, the following year there was a net gain of 5 7 new pupils in the public school elementary grades. For several years it was necessary for pupils of high school age to make a daily bus trip to the neighboring town of Schreiber, a distance of nine miles. This year, however, they have held classes in their own modern , well equipped building. A full course is offered on the high school level with the exception of vocational courses. The three teachers who comprise the faculty are a versatile group, handling a full course including science subjects. MODERN LABORATORY of the high school is shown in this view. With so many young families among Terrace Bay 's population unusual emphasis has been put on the school planning for the community. "'-:~ - -·r, 't--···- ~~ • 11t1 The Improvement District ... .. .. /..,A .. ~""'l~,'; J-, • ;!.., ~~ -· Terrace Bay's municipal affairs are administered by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Department of Municipal Affairs of the Ontario provincial government, which carries the responsibilities normally handled by elected representatives. Their duties are specified by statute, and they function as the townsite governing body under the provisions of the statute. In addition to providing the municipal services, they are in charge of all townsite facilities, including the schools and public utilities. The hospit-al is controlled by a private hospital board. The Mill The heart of all this amv1ty and growth, the pulp mill. will complete its sixth year of operation in 19 54. It does not impose itself on the attention of the visitor by dominating the town. As a matter of fact, located more than . a mile from the townsite, it can be spotted from the residential area only by its smokestack. It is quite the normal thing in a pulp mill town. that the pungent sulphate odor generally reminds visitors and residents of the industrial activity going on. But not so here. The distance from the town, the location of the mill, and the prevailing winds combine to keep the town almost always free of the mill's "long tom." The mill is approached along a road lined with jackpine. and its clean lines suggest the modern layout and up-tothe -minute machinery it houses. Its rated capacity is 300 tons daily of bleached sulphate pulp. though it has produced substantially more tonnage over extended periods. Wood arrives at the mill by water after an 80 -mile water journey from the woodlands operations at LongLac, Ontario. During the summer months, a steady stream of spruce. jackpine SEPARATE SCHOOL (above) for elementary pupils opened its doors for the 1952-53 school year with classroom facilities comparable to those of the public school, but with fewer pupils. Its faculty includes three. FINALE OF ANNUAL Christmas program is shown al left. The Public Elementary school has excellent modern facilities and a staff of seven teachers. MAIN ENTRANCE OF high school is shown here. Opened in the foll of 1952 , it hos a faculty of three and provides classrooms, laboratory and gymnasium. ( with some poplar ) logs in 8 and 16 foot lengths floats into the boom area on Hays Lake, the artificial body of water impounded by the Hydro dam. A special jackladder crew keeps the wood moving to the mill along a 3,300 -foot rubber belt conveyor said to be the longest such on the conti - �nent. At the mill, wood cut into 4foot lengths, barked, goes either to the chippers or out to the woodyard, to be stored in one of the six huge blockpiles. Serving the woodyard is another 2,950-foot endless rubber belt conveyor, which is unusual in that it not only carries wood to the yard but is built so it can return reclaimed wood to the mill when it is needed for operations. After barking, the wood headed for pulping is cut into small chips in a chipper, and these are temporarily stored in chip bins with a 300 cord ( 12 hours' supply) capacity before going into the digester building. The digesters are six unlined metal tanks 42 feet high and 11 feet in diameterking-sized pressure cookers designed to cook wood chips at 11 0 pounds of pressure for a three-hour period. The cooking liquor, primarily caustic soda, together with the heat provided by the addition of steam, dissolves the lignin which holds the wood fibers together, and at the end of the cooking period, the resulting "brown stock" is removed to a "blow tank. " After washing. screening and thickening, the stock moves on to the bleachery, where it passes through a continuous process of five stages. Its color is transformed from a dirty brown to snowy white, and it is ready for the final stage of processing- drying and packaging. The stock is pumped to the head boxes of two Kamyr wet machines, 13 6" wide, which form it into a continuous web of about 30% consistency. After passing through two heavily-grooved pressure rolls (which gives the pulp its grooved appearance) it travels through Flake dryers to remove the remaining moisture, and is then cut into sheets, assembled into 500-lb. bales, compressed under a 600 -ton hydraulic press, wrapped and loaded for shipment to other corporation mills. Some 7 cars of product leave the mill daily. and only a small amount of finished pulp is ever kept on hand at the mill. This is an abbreviated de.scription of the highly mechanized mill process, and makes no attempt to describe the necessary steps of making and renewing the cooking liquors, the chemical recovery system, the lime kiln, or the various service functions. It is perhaps significant that this mill, which was as modern as it could be made at start-up time in 1948, has already seen some extensive improvements. Recently the original bark presses were replaced by a more efficient type. (This equipment squeezes the water from bark preparatory to burning it as fuel in the mill boilers. ) Just in its final stages is work on converting the drum barkers from the conventional chain-suspended type to submerged barking, where the logs pass through the barking drum under CHURCHES OF THE TOWN conform to the modern, functional pottern. Below is SI. Martin's Catholic Church, which has a large, active congregation. water. This change makes for a cleaner job and less maintenance on the barking equipment. New equipment has been added to remove more bark from the sewer water, making for a cleaner discharge from the mill. The recovery system has been improved, too, with the addition of a new lime slaker and a larger hot lime bin. In the pulp mill, a turpentine recovery and storage system has been put in, which makes possible the reclaiming of turpentine and its sale as a by-product whenever the turpentine price level might make this financially attractive. Equipment to reclaim knots and flat screen rejects has been put into operation, getting from them both fiber and chemicals that are now wasted. In the bleachery, a new sewer system has been installed to eliminate a serious foaming problem. Equipment has also been put in to permit bleaching pulp to a higher brightness required by some of our outside buyers of pulp. Other changes made have been of a minor nature, but over-all they show that the mill is meant to stay in a condition of maximum efficiency and usefulness. Employment Figures Employment at the mill has grown steadily since the start-up, until last year the average stood at close to 650. There is some seasonal variation. During the winter months, after ice closes in on the jackladder and the wood is all in the yard for the cold weather THE COMMUNITY CHURCH was the most recently completed and serves the religious needs of the Protestant residents with a year-round and varied program. and the weather reduces townsite work to a minimum, the total drops under the 600 mark. At the high point, during summer months, it may touch 700. AH this employment, and the related expenditure of funds, is a sizable segment of the area economy. Payrolls during 19 54, for example, poured $2,609,000 into the region-and it found its way to merchants and businesses all the way from Toronto to Winnipeg. Even larger amounts, and a wider area, are involved in the procurement of materials for the mill operation. Wood, of course is a major item, and that is provided by the company from its operations centered at LongLac, Ontario. All of the more than 16,500 cords a month used at Terrace Bay is cut and moved by the company's woods organization, which, with its cutting crews, administrative and supervisory force, clerical help, and now the sawmill crews, runs at an average employment rate over 1,000. A wide area of Canada is involved in providing the other raw materials at the mill. Ten cars a month of lime is provided by quarries at Beechville, Ontario, and from north of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Salt cake-IO cars monthly -comes from three locations in Saskatchewan. Chlorine comes from Quebec at the rate of 14 cars monthly, and a similar amount of caustic is purchased from suppliers at Beauharnois. Quebec, and Windsor, Ontario. Wrappers come from Spruce Falls, at Kap- THE SHOPPING CENTER, located near the and uskasing at the rate of some four cars monthly. Coal is purchased at the rate of 60 cars monthly from a supplier at Fort William. Electric power is provided by the Ontario Hydroelectric Power Commission. Water, treated in the mill plant, comes from Lake Superior 650 million gallons a month. Terrace Bay's Neighbors The railroad through the town is the southern rail artery of the Dominion, and it has been there a long time-more than half a century. It is a busy link in Canada's growing economy, as can be seen from the traffic over its rails. Seven passenger trains daily go through the town, and a number of freight trains. The weekly freight bills on incoming and outgoing materials are close to $50,000. Until 19 5 3, the railroad was the only link to the east; but that summer. the steady progress on highway construction over the rugged and HEART OF THE COMMUNITY is the 300-ton pulp mill, located about a mile from the townsite with only the smokestack visible from the residential area.

The hospital is completely equipped and is controlled by a private hospital board. beautiful terrain, reached Marathon, Ontario 40 miles to the southeast on the lake shore. Schreiber, a railroad division point on the Canadian Pacific, is 9 miles west, but the nearest big shopping centers are the Lakehead cities of Port Arthur and Fort William, 140 miles west. In this territory, however, such distances are not imposing, and weekend shopping trips to these places are commonplace among Terrace Bay families. Busses to Lakehead are scheduled four days a week. There is an eagerness about the progress on the highway that indicates to the newcomer a strong desire to see wider horizons for the casual weekend trip. Leisure Time Activity The location of the town-its relative isolation and its need to be selfcontained with regard to spare-time activity-is reflected in an elaborate program of recreation. The program has aimed at being as nearly autonomous as possible, and this has been more or less generally achieved. Certainly there is no lack of things to do. Demands are heaviest on the coldweather sports, including bowling, hockey, badminton and curling. There are 3 7 bowling teams in six leagues. Curling keeps 90 men and 60 women occupied all during the winter months. Some 175 men and boys sign up every season for hockey, including the house league program, the North Shore Hockey League team and the youngsters. Badminton followers number 3 0. Volleyball and basketball have just g~tten underway. Summer recreation includes an active softball program put on by 8 men's and a woman's team. There's �team, a tennis program ( there are two clay courts) swimming, including instruction for the children, boating, rifle shooting, and perhaps others. Dances are popular in season, and there are two local orchestras to provide the music. Tourists and Visitors Despite the location of Terrace Bay at the end of the highway up until recently, and the otherwise limited access to it, there have been some tourist visitors. The town would welcome more. And you can get an enthusiastic appraisal of the area as a vacation spot from any of the people who have made the trip. They will speak with feeling of the scenery along the North Shore Drive from Duluth. Beauty is plentiful, and there is no more comfortable place for the refugee from heat or from allergy-inducing pollens than the north shore area. Outdoor lovers will find the spot one of rare delight. Terrace Bay natives caution that fishing, while good, is not the pursuit of the luke-warm sportsman. The man who would bring home fish from stream and lakes in the area must be willing to work a lot and suffer some. And he will need a guide. Lake Superior offers lake WOOD ARRIVES at the mill by water and arrives into the boom area on Hays Lake, the artificial lake impounded by the Hydro dam (picture 1, below). A 3,300-foot rubber belt conveyor, said to be the longest such on the continent, moves the wood toward the mill. Another 2,950-foot rubber belt serves the woodyard ( picture 2). Picture 3 shows one of the mill's digesters, a king-size pressure cooker designed to cook wood chips at 110 pounds of pressure for a three-hour period. Picture 4 was taken in the highly mechanized pulp storage building of the Terrace Bay mill. trout fishing as good as any in the world almost at Terrace Bay's doorstep. But this again is a field for experts. However, K-C people who want to try it will find they can make arrangements for an expedition that could produce some silvery beauties within sight of the town. There are some hunters among the Fish and Game Club there. Young Town-Young People Terrace Bay is a young town. Its people are young people-the average age is something like 3 2 among all the company employees. But among them is a strong feeling of pride in the place they have built or come to- the same kind of pride that must have stirred the ambitions of an earlier generation of pioneers. The enthusiasm they have for doing big things, and for boosting their town and company is an inspirational experience. LONGLAC, ONTARIO is another of northwest Ontario's newest communities. It is the headquarters of the woodlands organization that provides the wood for the Terrace Bay mill. This aerial view of the town, with a pulpwood boom in the background on Long Lake, is another example of how industrial know-how can be applied to the job of transforming bush country into a modern place to live. In the pulp and paper industry, part of today's job is planning for the future. When you build a mill and a town, you want to know that it will be there, running profitably, for a long, long time. Otherwise you can't afford to invest the necessary amounts of money. In Canada, the future of a paper mill is the future of the forests. When a mill is planned, it is planned around the supply of spruce and jackpine in the forest limits assigned to the operation, and the capacity of those limits to produce a crop year after year. And, because the trees that will be made into pulp 100 years from today may just this year be starting to grow, your vision has to be broad enough to see today's problems in the light of opportunities that will belong to your great grandchildren. For that reason, part of the Terrace Bay picture- and an important part -1s found many miles from Terrace Bay. At LongLac, Ontario, 100 miles north of the mill, is the nerve center of the woodlands organization that supplies the woodyard of the Terrace Bay mill. Around LongLac's recently completed headquarters building, the Terrace Bay story has been duplicated on a smaller scale. The main part of this community is a group of 5 6 new, neat, picturesque houses, plus a 40-guest staff house. Schools, churches, and other civic necessities have been provided for the town's 700 residents, a number of whom are directly engaged in the many jobs connected with getting out the wood for the Terrace Bay mill. With LongLac as the hub of operations, a web of roads and camps have opened up the surrounding territory and jobs for some 1,000 workers have been created in the harvesting, care and planting of forest lands as well as the operation of a sawmill at the townsite. LongLac, like Terrace Bay, was planned and built to be there for many generations. The town was planned and built to care for families, and to grow future citizens, as evidenced in the schools, the recreation and community activity and its civic pride. Similarly, the community is doing the work necessary to perpetuate its livelihood. At LongLac, they never lose sight of the next crop of trees. Even as they harvest one crop, they are taking the steps necessary to make sure that another one will spring up to replace it. And to provide them with the young trees that nature sometimes fails to start, LongLac has its own forest nursery, as well as nursery help from an affiliated company at Kapuskasing, Ontario. It's all part of a single big picture - a competent staff using the best of proven forestry techniques in a carefully cut and cared for forest. �• Terrace Bay is a busy town. Its people, in addition to doing an important job of producing high -grade pulp, apply their skill and energy to making theirs a well rounded life. To do this, they have fashioned a nicely-balanced variety of leisure time activity. this can be seen in the fact that two of the best known fishing derbies in the province are at Rossport and Jackfish, two North Shore neighbors of Terrace Bay in which commercial fishing plays an important part in the local economy. Nature has helped them in these efforts so that Terrace Bay offers a healthy variety of recreation. For those who like group activity and athletics, there is plenty to do. And those who prefer the outdoor, more individual type of recreation can find it in abundance . This is truly the "front door of Canada's beautiful outdoors." Terrace Bay's derby is open to visitors who will find the spectacular scenic beauty enough reward even without one of the many prizes offered for the luck of a fisherman. Typical of the latter kind of fun is the annual Terrace Bay Fishing Derby. This is perhaps one of the best-known of Terrace Bay's sporting events, with entrants listed from all along the North Shore area and even from the United States. It has been an annual affair since 19 51, sponsored by the Terrace Bay Fish and Game Association and run by their membership. The object of the derby is the silvery, deep-bodied, hard-fighting lake trout. No where in the world is there such fine lake trout water as Lake Superior, with its clean, deep, icy-cold water. A large part of the commercial lake trout catch comes from its waters. And the miles of rocky shoreline and deep water along the Canadian shore of the lake put this area among the best places for sport fishing for this species.

Photo by Kayden " i\ I JVanabijou The eyes of all who visit the Canadian Lakehead gaze in wonder at the outline of the "Sleeping Giant" across the bay. This unusual rock formation, a peninsula seven miles long and a thousand feet high, is known to the Ojibway Indians as Nanabijou. Many years ago Nanabijou, a mighty giant, walked with ease along the Great Lakes, guarding a treasure hoard worked by giants at Silver Islet, the mine under the water at Lake Superior. Only the Ojibways knew his secret but their tongues were stilled for Nanabijou had warned "If the paleface knows, all the tribes will die." (;;iant To the sharp ears of the Sioux scout came the rumble of the giant's voice, and he padded off swiftly to tell his tribe. On his way, he met two white men to whom he told the secret and they hastened toward the lovely isle near Thunder Bay. As they neared the isle the sky grew dark, the Thunder Bird screamed, the waters were churned to foam and a mighty upheaval took place as Nanabijou, the giant, true to his trust, lay down beside the secret he had guarded for centuries, arms folded in his last long sleep. Eve11 now the Sleeping Giant is heard to rumble when he dreams of his once secret hoard.

Here the roaring waters of the Kaministikwia River plunge 128 feet into the gorge. "Kakabeka" is an Indian word meaning "Thundering Waters". More enchanting than the falls itself is a story of an Indian Princess "Greenmantle". Greenmantle was the beautiful daughter of the Chief of the Ojibway Indians who occupied the Thunder Bay region. This territory was invaded by the Sioux and during a raid Greenmantle was captured. In what was planned as a final attack, the Sioux forced the young girl to guide them down the Kaministikwia River to the Ojibway camp. Pretending to betray her people, Greenmantle led the enemy in canoes toward the falls. At the last moment the brave girl leaped from the canoe and managed to swim ashore to warn her people. The Sioux in the lead, were lost over the falls, but the remaining forces by-passed the cataract to press the attack, which was repulsed by the alert Ojibwav. Today Greenmantle is commemorated by a beautiful stone building by the edge of the falls known as "Greenmantle's Tower". Here the traveller may refresh himself as he gazes at the mighty cataract. It is said that if you look hard enough, you will see the figure of Greenmantle rising from the mist. This beautiful 891 acre park provides facilities for picnicking with fireplaces, camping, trailer park, wading pool, and supervised swimming on a sandy bead, of the river. �*IMPORTERS* *DISTRIBUTORS* • Hudson's Bay Blankeh • Ke11wood Blankeh • Atkinson Blankets • Mohair Throws • John S.

In a little more than a decade it has grown from a few log cabins to become the thriving industrial town of Marathon, with over 600 modern buildings. Construction was started in 1944 by Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited, now Marathon Corporation of Canada Limited, in what was then classed as unorganized territory. Designed as the focal point of the Pie River Timber Concession, the project represents a capital investment of close to forty million dollars. Mount Peninsula Shields the Mill in Winter. The first known record of the area surrounding Marathon is on a map drawn in 1650 and which. is now in Paris, France. The site of the present town of Marathon was chosen by William Van Horne as his main supply base when constructing the C.P.R. in the early l 880's due to the harbour's depth and protection. In the contruction of 200 miles westward, 12,000 men, along with- 15,000 horses were used. These and their replacements all lived or passed through Peninsula, as the town was then named. During the Second Riel Rebellion in 1885, history was made by moving troops from Ottawa to Fort Qu' Appel le, Sask., in eleven days, using the partly finished railroad from Peninsula to Red Rock. Then began a period of steady decline in the fortunes of Peninsula, until it became a veritable ghost town. Formation of the Improvement District of Marathon, by provincial legislation, in 1948, brought to an end our status of "unorganized territory." How we got here Marathon is served by the Canadian Pacific Railway, by boat on Lake Superior, by planes equipped with wheel, ski, or pontoon, and by the TransCanada Highway. The section of the TransCanada Highway from Marathon West, is now rated one of the best sections of highway in the Province of Ontario and takes the traveller through some unexcelled scenery. Now blacktopped, it is a good answer to much of the criticism which has been levelled at highway construction in the province in recent years. The feat of building it through the ruggedi terrain, west of Marathon, is one of which any government may well be proud. ,..... ' j.,- r,\ _...::.. - "'"<.....:;.

To the east the TransCanada Highway is under construction. Bailey bridSle at Pie River detour east of Marathon. The TransCanada Highway outlet to the east is under construction with work being pushed by government agencies and contractors alike'. When opened, this will complete the motoring pleasure of the residents, who now operate over 500 private vehicles, one for every five persons in town, man, woman or child. Temporary bridges are in use at many points on the TransCanada, but work on the permanent structures is well under way, and the area will boast one of the highest and also one of the longest bridges of the highway, when work is done. Over the main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway an immense amount of freight and express moves to and from Marathon, along with a heavy passenger traffic. Close to 300 tons of freight and express are received daily, while about 400 tons are shipped out. The railroad maintains extensive yards and freight shed to accommodate the business, as well as a modern station building. Marathon Corporation maintain in conjunction with railroad shipments. its own switching engine for use A large fleet of trucks and heavy automotive equipment is also maintained and cared for in modern garage buildings. Wheel or ski equipped aircraft land on the two 3,500 foot runways at our airport, while pontoon equipped aircraft land in the sheltered waters of Marathon Harbour or of adjacent Hare Lake. The town boasts one of the few heliports in the country and it is quife often a busy place with many helicopters dropping in, on forestry, mining, or hydro business. Many aerial visitors drop down on the Heliport. The The C.P.R. Station. 6 7 �M/V Puckasaw. Lake Superior ploys a big part in the lives of everyone in Marathon. Over its broad waters comes most of the pulpwood and other row materials used in the mill. Oil boots and coal boots, bearing fuel for the stream plant and town 1 are frequently at the docks. Outward bound, Marathon's own fleet carries much of the product of the mill to Canadian and American ports. The M/V "D. C. Everest" and the S.S. "Norco" of the company fleet, are known in many Great Lakes ports, where they deliver shipments of our high grade bleached sulphate wood pulp sheets. The Tug· Polygon. To care for the many operations on the lake, which are necessary to keep the mill running, a large fleet of tugs is maintained, and the M/V "Puckasaw" also plies the waters of Superior on Company business. The M/V D. C. Everest. 8 The Tug Peninsula. 9 �What we work with: Down the Pie River comes most of the Pulpwood used at the mill. The primary raw material of the operation is, of course, pulpwood, most of Where we work: which is produced on our own Pie River Timber limits, and floated downstream to the mouth of the river, where it is taken in gigantic rafts to the mill. Nothing goes to waste in the operation. Railroad ties and much building lumber comes from suitable logs which are rafted to the mill and carefully sorted there. Sawmill operations are carried on right in the woodyard and even the bark, which cannot be 1.,1sed for pulp, finds its way into the huge bark press and thence to the bark-burning unit which supplies an appreciable amount of the steam needed for the operation of the mill. Cell room of the Chemical Plant. Construction of our mill was started in 1944. It now produces we l l over 125,000 tons of high grade bleached sulphate wood pulp sheets each year. The daily average is over 350 tons, while a record day's run in excess of 450 tons hos been established. Most of the products of our mi l l eventually reaches the consumer in the form of food packaging. Facts not fully appreciated by the general public are that we operate our own power plant, chemical ·--plant;' lake shipping facilities, and many town facilities and thus employ a large number of persons who ore not directly connected with the manufacturing process. While we do not make a completely finished product, it is such o refined product that it commands a much higher price than many other lines of paper, such as newsprint. Our product brings to Canada anywhere from $15 to $20 million in U.S. funds each year, depending on the market price. There are approximately 800 employees on the payroll, including mill and town, with our payroll running well over $3,000,000.00 per year. All br.onches of labor are organized into labor unions under the AF. of L., including office and hotel staffs.

Hotel and dormitory accommodation is provided for over 500 single employees. Two new sub-divisions have recently been created, w•th sewer, water and electric power being. laid in to 42 lots in one and l 00 lots in the other. About twenty-five per cent of the homes are now owned by the residents themselves, with many more planning to build in the near future. Boy Scouts and Girl Guides join in annual tree-planting project. Careful management of the harvest of the forests is the keynote of the Marathon operation. Long range planning calls for the cutting of the limits to be done in such a manner that crops will be guaranteed for perpetuity. Every possible step is taken to produce favorable conditions for natural reforestation of areas cut over. Areas which do not appear to lend themselves to natural regrowth are planted with young trees, to supply the pulpwood required' in later years. Each year our boy scouts and girl guides join with company employees in a great reforestation project. The Marathon boy scout forest is now roted one of the best in Canada. L"' A :[ ,_, ,. Dormitories provide accommodation for many of the single employees. The work of earlier years is now showing results in the Boy Scout forest. 12 A Birds-eye view of part of the town and mill. 13 �What our homes look like: Beautiful grounds are maintained by many residents. Ranch type homes in Northgate sub-division. Bungalows and one of the larger homes. Homes on Sund Avenue in new subdivision. The ,M anager's new Split-level home. The soft green of Signal Hill provides a backdrop for Croy Court homes. - McCullough Street Apartment homes. 14 15 �Our version of "The little Red School House" When the children of Marathon go out to gain a working knowledge of "the three R's," their accommodation is a far cry from the little red schoolhouse of yesteryear. Kindergarten, two public schools and a high school are conducted in modern well-lighted school buildings, containing 18 public s~hool rooms and 5 high school rooms. The Everest Hotel. Where our visitors are accommodated The Company operates a sixty-room hotel with all modern conveniences. The hotel operation includes dining room, 300-seat cafeteria, coffee shop, beverage room, barber shop, beauty parlor, laundry and dry cleaning establishments. The guest house looks out over the beautiful Marathon harbour and here each year many visitors make their headquarters.
