WHILE MANY CITIES in Canada
suffered an economic setback in 1971,
Thunder Bay stepped right ahead to
set new goals and achievements for
growth in that year. And in 1972,
according to the Development Bureau,
things are looking even better. Planned
expansion of existing plants so far
calls for the expenditure of over eight
million dollars. These additions will
create jobs for 413 more people.
During 1971 there were records set
in most of the city's major industries.
Building permits totalled $32,000,000,
a record high. The Port of Thunder
Bay handled a total of 22,164,928
tons, the biggest yet. There were more
tourist visitors than ever before, more
travellers through Thunder Bay Airport, and the population grew to
111,492.
We must confess that these healthy
growth figures are of more than casual
interest to us at Motorways. It turns
out that we are at present the carriers
of a good proportion of the food
marketed in the city. Meat from the
midwest, fruit from the Okanagan and
the Niagara Peninsula, canned goods
from a variety of sources, all come to
Thunder Bay via Motorways. Literally
everything "from soup to nuts" rolls
in under our yellow and black fleet
colours.
We've made this happy state of
affairs the subject of one of our major
stories this issue. This represents a bit
of a change from our policy in the
past which has been to focus entirely
on industries and businesses, and to
breathe not a word about our own
services to these firms.
In the case of the fo.Jd business in
Thunder Bay, Motorways' function is
a significant and interesting part of
the overall story, and provides a
unifying theme. You may rest assured

that this does not mean we've lost any
of that gracious modesty which, up
to now, we have of course been too
modest to mention.
Almost every business has a specialized set of names and · phrases that
describe equipment and processes that
are unique to it. In some trades this
specialized lingo almost amounts to a
separate languag«=;,
"Let's bleed this cut into the gutter"
sounds pretty gory. But my friend
the printer is merely suggesting that a
photo (cut) be extended (bled) to the
bound edge of a printed page inside
the book (the gutter).
The highway transport business is
no exception when it comes to original
phrases. Over the years we have developed a terminology that makes it
easy for one trucking man to understand another, but might thoroughly
confuse an outsider. Some of these
words have been borrowed from other
trades and professions, others are
strictly our own.
In the interests of better communication, and because people in the
transportation business have a great
deal of contact with the public, we're
beginning a series of short columns
featuring terms common to the trucking business. Some of them may be
already familiar, some may be
familiar but carry meanings different
from the ones you're familiar with,
and others might be completely new.
We'd like to thank the good people
of Thunder Bay for their helpful
hospitality, very particularly Port
Manager Ken Mccuaig and his staff.
Their assistance in the compiling of
this issue was most helpful and was
greatly appreciated.

�The
good life
■

1n

Thunder Bay
A QUESTION THAT WE frequently
ask people during the compiling of
the "Motorways Miler" is: "What do
you like about the life in your city?"
We of course get a variety of
answers. From Gerry McFadden of
Thunder Bay we got the simple
response: "The good life."
Gerry ought to know, since he is
the Director of the Development
Bureau for the City of Thunder Bay.
His requirements for the good life
include the opportunity to earn a
good salary, which Thunder Bay
certainly offers. There is everything
for recreation close at hand - Gerry's
lakeside cottage is only a 40-minute
drive from town. No one in the city
is further away from his office or shop
than a 20-minute drive. Ten to 15
minutes is the average, and this is a
great boon to happy refugees from
bigger places where the daily routine
can begin with an hour-long run to
work.
Cultural
and educational
opportunities are similar to those of
much larger centres.
In other words, Thunder Bay is big
enough to offer most of the advantages
of city life, but small enough to
escape most of the problems. If there
are any drawbacks, it is perhaps a
feeling of isolation from the rest of
Canada.
Motorways, I am pleased to note,
does its bit to help alleviate that
feeling of remoteness for people in
Thunder Bay and for many other
centres much further of the beaten
track. As Transportation Manager I
have the opportunity of a continuing
"bird's-eye view" of the total part
Motorways plays in carrying goods

and raw materials to and from most
centres in the West.
On an average working day, for
example, our Central Dispatch office
will handle from 200 to 250 highway
trips between terminals. In total our
vehicles cover an average of 60,000 to
70,000 miles per day of highway
driving. From bananas in January to
popsicles and ice cream in July, we
haul every possible commodity (and a
few impossible ones) to every corner
of Western Canada.
The task of keeping all of these
vehicles headed in the right directior.,
with the right loads, and on time,
falls on Chief Dispatcher Don
McManus, assisted by the Dispatchers
in each Terminal. As key man in the
Transportation Manager's department,
Don's job is challenging enough when
everything runs smoothly. But when
incidents like ice storms in Ontario,
snow slides in the rockies, highway
accidents, and other uncontrollable
complications arise, his job gets to be
very, very interesting in deed.
Thunder Bay is the eastern centre
of Sao-Security Motorways' transportation network. In this issue it is
our pleasure to deal in some detail
with the company's services to the
food industry there. Although the
city is serviced by water, air and rail
facilities, it is the high way transportation business which, with some
pride of accomplishment, provides the
bulk of the consumer goods that the
Thunder Bay market demands.

Ed. Metzler
Manager
Thunder Bay Terminal

ED METZLER
first joined
Motorways as a part-time staffer
in the spring of 1958. In October of the same year he went
full time in the sales department
in Thunder Bay and in 1966
took over the Managership of
the Terminal.
The background he brought
to his job with Motorways included eight years in various
positions with the CN R freight
department.
A native born and raised in
Thunder Bay, Ed takes an active
part in community life, particularly in young people's organizations.
He has a daughter,
Jo-Anne who is 19, and two
sons, Ward, 16 and Pat, 12. Not
surprising Ed's interests include
scouting and Little League baseball. He is a Scout Leader and is
on the North West Ontario Executive. For the Little League he
contributes his talents as a coach
and umpire. When not engaged
in either of these activities, he
likes to devote a little attention
to his garden.
His wife Joan is a Registered
Nurse and is presently on the
teaching staff at a local hospital.
Motorways Thunder Bay Terminal employes 43 people on
part-time and full-time, and there
are 16 Lease Operators working
out of it.

REMEMBER
_MCKIRDY'S,.
OR E~EI

IF YOU ASK A NATIVE of Thunder
Bay to tell you of a famous local
product called "Repal-fly", he might
have to think awhile. If you give him a
hint that it has something to do with
keeping black flies and mosquitoes
away, he'll likely brighten and say "Oh,
you mean McKirdy's!"
Fishermen are reminded by their
wives not to forget the McKirdy's.
People back from a berry-picking
excursion will tell you the flies were
awful, "but we smeared on lots of
McKirdy's".
Until fairly recently Jack McKirdy's
fly dope was mainly a local institution
around the Lakehead. Fishermen from
the U.S. picked up an occasional bottle
to try it out, became immediate
converts, but couldn't get it Stateside.
Jack gets a letter on the average of
once a day throughout the year from
Americans, but he can't fill orders
directly, and the red tape involved in
getting U.S. clearance to export to
distributors there is more trouble than
it's worth.
Then a couple of years ago Jack
and his time-honoured home-made
preparation were featured in a national
magazine. That really got things going.
In 197 0 he bottled 30,000 jars. In
'71, 40,000. And so far this year
production is already around the
50,000 mark.
"People tell me I should get
automatic machinery in and go for
mass production" he laughs. "But that
would put my part-time people out of
work, and aren't we supposed to be
trying to cure unemployment?"
McKirdy's fly dope has a long
history, going back to 1882, when his

4

Jack McKirdy always applies the labels to his jars of Repal-fly by hand,
but not always with an on-looker peering over his shoulder. Motorways Terminal
Manager Ed Metzler is the kibbitzer, and this is the first time he's seen Mr.
McKirdy's basement workshop, even though Motorways brings in all the drums
of Oil of Citronella which constitutes the effective ingredient in the famous
repellent.

father, William McKirdy, opened a
general store and trading post at
Nipigon. In those days the town was
known as a place where Indians traded
furs, and tourists came for the finest
speckled trout fishing in the world.
Jack recalls the time when his father

outfitted Teddy Roosevelt for a fishing
trip on the Nipigon River. Later the
McKirdys arranged a fishing trip for
the Duke of Windsor, then Prince of
Wales, during a visit to Canada in
1919.
Black flies were a problem then, as

�now, and most of the druggists and
traders in the area made up some kind
of fly dope to help their customers
survive in fly season~ McKirdy Senior
was no exception. "He'd have barrels
of liquid tar and all sorts of stuff,"
McKirdy recalls. "Big black buckets
of paste and oils.
"And then suddenly one day he
came up with this stuff. He started to
make it in 1906 and by 1911 sales
were so good he patented the formula."
Jack McKirdy soon took over and
has been making it ever since in his
spare time, during a lifetime of fishing
and prospecting in Ontario's north
country.
He was a commercial fisherman on
Onaman Lake near Geraldton for nearly 50 years, and managed to make the
fly dope in northern cabins under the
most primitive conditions.
In 1967 he retired to Thunder Bay,
where he sti 11 manufactures the preparation as a part-time one-man operation, except during the busy season.
Oil of citronella, imported from
Ceylon, is one of the basic ingredients
of the repellent. But other components
are a wel I-kept McKirdy secret, especially the soothing preparation that helps
to repair the damage already done.
"My father passed the recipe on
to me, and I 'II pass it on to my
children," McKirdy says. He has a son
and daughter, both married with
families, and is confident "some of
them will carry on."
There have been some changes in
the formula over the years. And
McKirdy says he checks with federal
laboratories periodically to get the
latest
information
on
effective
ingredients for beating the bug

problem.
One thing that makes his repellent
different from all the other preparations in cans, squeeze tubes and
bottles, is the claim that it will actually relieve irritation caused by insect
bites. If you've been foolish enough
to forget the repellent before being
attacked, you car. still use it to
alleviate the discomfort.
"But some cases of fly bites are so
serious a person would be better to see
a doctor," McKirdy points out.
His production line for manufacturing the repellent starts with a pot in
which enough of the mixture for a
200-jar batch is made. Then he uses an
old graniteware coffee pot to fill jars
with the liquid. The mixture solidifies
in about half an hour into a smooth
greaseless paste.
McKirdy does his own labelling,
packaging and shipping. He sells
through distributors, most of whom
also handle fishing tackle and equipment.
One reason that Jack McKirdy has
become such a well-respected Th under
Bay institution is his own personality.
He's a warm and friendly man, with a
quiet sense of humour and plenty of
good stories about his colourful life
in the bush. Clear-eyed, steady-handed
and built solid from decades of hauling nets, McKirdy is devious on only
one point, his age. "My wife", he
points out quietly, "says I shouldn't
tell people how old I am".
That's a minor point in any case.
His Repal-fly has now become known
throughout Canada, and in the past
couple of years he's shipped orders
to every province except Newfoundland.

�THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO the
fur traders in their frail birch bark
canoes inaugurated shipping at the
Canadian Lakehead.
Today, grain ships from the seven
seas of the world and the industrial
hinterland of the Great Lakes trade
at the port. Here you will see modern
vessels from Europe or the United
Kingdom bringing in cargoes of
general merchandise destined for the
West, and returning with golden grain.
Huge lake freighters take on fantastically large cargoes of grain - up
to a million bushels - in a few hours.
Sturdy ore carriers take on iron ore
for shipment to hungry blast furnaces.
An average of 1,500 vessels come to
Thunder Bay, during each 8-month
shipping season. ,
Guarded by the Sleeping Giant,
Thunder Bay enjoys a natural landlocked harbour. Here in this protected
shelter has grown the third largest
port in Canada, shipping nearly 20
million tons of grain, iron ore, pulpwood, newsprint and
eral package
cargo a year.

�trading days known as Fort William
and Prince Arthur's Landing. Following Confederation in 1867 the ports
of Fort William and Port Arthur
operated as separate public harbours.
In the year 1958 a Federal Act was
passed to incorporate the Lakehead
Harbour Commission. It provided for
the combining of the harbours of
Fort William and Port Arthur into
one unit to be known as Lakehead
Harbour.
Lakehead Harbour is dominated on
the east by seven-mile-long Point
Sibley, much better known as the
Sleeping Giant. The 1100-foot high
granite ridge, in silhouette, resembles
a man on his back. To the south is
1600-foot Mt. McKay, which not only
provides a pleasing backdrop to the
city, but is the location of some of
the best ski slopes in central Canada.
Excellent views of Thunder Bay
and the harbour are from Hillcrest
Park and the first ledge of Mount
McKay. However, the best impression
of the massive size of the giant grain
elevators, marching around the shore,
must be from the water side of the
harbour.
Thunder Bay stretches 35 miles
from north to south. Through the
bay opening can be seen Isle Royale,

Mich., a United States Federal Park,
38 miles from the harbour shore,
protects the docks stretching across
the harbour front.
The Thunder Bay Harbour, supervised by a five-man Harbour Commission, covers 27 miles of shore
installations. In front of Port Arthur
Ward, various industries and elevators
are martialed around the shore. In
Fort William Ward, the three river
openings offer secure dockage for
elevators, a modern iron ore storage
and shipping plant, bulk oil depots
etc. The main channel of the Kaministoquia River extends six miles upstream to a turning basin. The depth
of water in the harbour varies from 20
to 27 feet with major installations
running to Seaway depth. A shipyard
at the northern· end of the harbour
is equipped to handle the largest seaway ships in dry dock.
Grain elevators, extending into deep
water, permit ..ships to glide right to
dockside to take on their loads. The
record grain loading in one ship is in
excess of 1,000,000 bushels. The
heaviest shipping year saw 500,000,000
bushels arriving from the west, being
cleaned, processed, certified by government inspectors and shipped overseas.
Altogether there are 24 grain

elevators situated along the shores of
the Lakehead Harbour. These modern
terminals have a total storage capacity
of 105,376,400 bushels. Over 15
million tons of grain was handled
through the Lakehead Harbour in
1971 in the eight-month shipping
season.
To speed up the movement of
general
cargo, Keefer Lakehead
Terminal was opened in 1962. Ocean
freighters and fast lake boats can
simultaneously be loaded and unloaded. The terminal is classed as one of
the most modern in the world with an
investment in facilities exceeding
$15,000,000. In 1969 a $3,500,000
expansion of cargo sheds and dockage
area was completed. It is also one of
the fastest transit terminals, with
highly mobile equipment handling
material - unloading around the clock.
Over 700,000 tons of general cargo,
steel, vehicles etc. are transferred to
and from Canadian and overseas vessels.
In all, four pulp and paper mills
operate on the shore of Thunder Bay
Harbour. In addition, a flour mill,
malt plant, wheat starch plant,
petroleum products plant, tar-processing plant, chemical plants, etc. all
operate near the deep water of the
harbour.

Iron ore (pellets), potash and coal,
loaded in many cases directly into
vessels are shipped in large tonnages.
A modern mechanized belting system
on the Mission River operates all year
to stockpile iron ore pellets for transfer
in the shipping season. Coal from the
Western Provinces is transferred from
unit rail trains to ships for transfer
to steel mills and hydro plants in the
East.
As the Lakehead Harbour spends
four months out of the year completely
engulfed by ice, a quick spring breakup is of utmost importance to the
shipping season. To speed up the
shipping season, the Norman McLeod
Rogers, one of the largest icebreakers
on the Great Lakes System, and the
Alexander Henry, both operated by
the Department of Transport of Canada
break out the harbour at an early
date each shipping season.
It is interesting to note in 1958,
the year prior to the opening of the
St. Lawrence Seaway, the Lake head
Harbour handled 11,211,177 tons of
cargo. In 1971 this figure had doubled

The equipment required to ship grain by both
rail car and lake vessel is also shown on this sketch.

and harbour management is very
optimistic that there will be everincreasing tonnages in the future .

THE TECHNIQUES OF
GRAIN HANDLING
To the layman, the massive bulk
of the grain terminals are impressive,
but what goes on in them is largely a
matter .of mystery. Obviously, the
terminals must provide a great deal
of storage space. But they must also
provide the facilities for cleaning, drying and inspecting vast quantities of
grain. These latter functions are becoming increasingly important as
foreign grain buyers grow more and
more particular about the grade and
characteristics· of the product they
want.
Grain in Canada is handled in bulk.
The normal procedure is to preserve
the identity of every car of grain only
until its grade and weight has been
established under government supervision at the Lakehead. Subsequent

to this procedure the general practice,
for convenient handling purposes, is to
bulk together carlots of grain of the
same type and grade.
Cars are hauled into the track shed
section by means of a motor driven
car puller cable and spotted directly
over a receiving pit. The grain is then
unloaded using hand operated shovel
equipment or the automatic boxcar
unloader. The complete contents of
each car is dumped into a track
receiving hopper. The grain then passes
along a conveyor belt to an elevator
leg which, in order to take advantage
of the gravity flowing quality of grain
in bulk, lifts the grain to the top floor
of the elevator workhouse. This
elevator leg is equipped with a vertical
rubber belt carrying small steel buckets.
These legs vary in carrying capacity
depending on the width of belt and
the size and spacing of the buckets.
The normal elevator receiving and
shipping legs are equipped with an 84inch head pulley and operate at a belt
speed of 688 feet per minute.
Conveyor belts in general operate

�at a speed of 850 feet per minute with
capacities depending on the width of
belting.
Each carlot of grain is discharged
into and accumulated in the garner bin
located on the garner floor directly
below the top floor of the workhouse.
It is then dropped by gravity into a
hopper scale on the scale floor immediately below where it is weighed under
government supervision.
From this point on, the grain may
be dropped by gravity directly into a
small workhouse bin for further cleaning, processing or separation. It may
also proceed directly to the large
storage annex bins via a belt conveyor
located on the bin floor.
The procedure in shipping grain out
from the Elevator via vessel is more
direct than the receiving process. Grain
in storage is drawn from the storage
bins and carried on a basement
conveyor belt back into the workhouse section. Here it is elevated to
the top floor on a shipping elevator
leg. It passes through the shipping
garner and scale units and finally
discharges into a small upper shipping
bin. From here it reaches the waiting
vessel via a boat loading spout operated
from the dock level.
Some 21 of the Lakehead Harbour's
24 Terminals are equipped with grain
drying equipment. There are 35 drier
units with a combined drying capacity
of 30,700 bushels per hour. Units vary
from 300 to 1000 bushels per hour
capacity with an average of 748
bushels per hour.
Grain drying is accomplished by
passing dry heated air through the
grain. Drier units are provided with
intermittent discharge mechanisms and
may be arranged for both continuous
flow or batch drying.
The purpose of reducing the
moisture content in grain is to enable
the elevator operator to store it in
a bin without the hazard of deterioration by heating, etc. Grain with a
moisture content in accordance with
the percentage limitations established
by the Canada Grain Act is considered
to be in warehousing condition and
may be stored indefinitely without
resulting damage.
The heating unit in the d r i e r
installation may be fired with coal, oil
or gas.
Other machinery is involved in removing impurities and damaged or
immature grains from the product.
Electromagnets over each receiving
conveyor belt remove nails, wire, bolts
or other metal particles that could
damage the cleaning equipment.
Separators employ coarse screens to
sort out coarse refuse such as strings,
sticks and stones, combined with a
blast of air to whisk away dust, chaff
and other light impurities.

�THE VOYAGEUR TRADITION

A
I

s1101~1 Clll

If the northeast border of Lake
Superior, leading as it did to the
great inland waterways of central
Canada, was the hub of the Montreal
fur trade, then the fur tra_de ws for
several centuries the mainstay of the
Canadian economY,. And this faot
shaped Canadian ftistofy in pattern
very distinct fr
t of the Unite

HUNDEl.R BAY was
once thought to be part of a short cut
t China. Early explorers, preoccupied
wi'th discover"ng an easy route to the
riches of the 'fl.r East, regarded tne
North American continent as an obstacle to be overcome, not as a poter'ltial
source of wealth in its If. ..How clisappointed they must have 6een to
find ou th , on reaching the western
end of Lake Superior, they were less
than half way to the Pacif c, anp that
.the toughest part of the t ip lay,
ahead.
P,rior to t e spreading French exploration through the Great Lakes
Basin from New France, the Ojibway
Indians inhabited the shores of
Thunder Bay and the inland lakes.
Today, descendants of the Ojibway
tribes live on reservations at the foot
of Mount McKay and Squaw Bay.
Thunder Bay is steeped in Indian
tradition. "Kaministiquia", the present
name of the river flowing through
Thunder Bay, is Indian and has been
interpreted in two ways - 'the long
winding river' and 'the river with three
mouths.'
The famous French explorers,
Radisson and Groseilliers, are credited
with the early explorations of the
north shore of Lake Superior, around
1659.
Missionaries and traders followed
them westward, and the first recorded
trading post established on the site of
the present city was built in 1679.
Daniel Greysolon Sieur du Lhut
(founder of Duluth, Minnesota) built
a trading post and fort on the south
bank of the river near its mouth and
called it "Fort Caministigoyan". It
flourished for a number of years.

La Verendrye wintered in the Eort
in 1731. His explorations for a western
route led him away from the established Kaministiquia River, Dog Lake
route, to the unknown Grand PortagePigeon River canoe routes. A station
and post were established at the mouth
of the Pigeon River in the area now
a part of the State of Minnesota. It
attained considerable importance.
In 1798 Roderick McKenzie, of the
North West Company, moved northward from Grand Portage and
examined and reported the ruins of
old Fort Kaministiquia. Its location is
now marked by a granite monument
at the foot of McTavish Street.
In the summer of 1807 at the annual
meeting of the Partners and by a
resolution of the Wintering Associates,
the name of the Fort was changed to
"Fort William", after William McGillivray, Governor of the North West
Company, who was als a mernber of

The next day's work would see
him cover 60 or more miles if there
were no portages and the wind was
fair. On the portages he was expected
to carry at least two bales of fur or
the equivalent weight - 180 lbs and to do o at a hurried shuffling
half walk-h I run. The fragile canoe
couldn't be rammed up on shore the
way modern craft are.
It was
loaded and unloaded afloat, and this,
depending on the sfi oreline, might mean
plunging into chest-deep icy water to
steady the craft while cargo was transferred.
Small wonder that a great moment
in the life of the Montreal Voyageur
was rounding the cape that forms the
feet of Thunder Bay's Sleeping Giant,
and seeing the hard-won destination.
Here there would be the chance to
break the deadly monotony of the
dried pea porridge and pork fat diet,
to rest weary muscles, to take on a
,

ski hful of trade rum and to see if the
wild tales about thE\ native girls were
in fact true.
The port at the mouth of the
Kaministiquia was then, as now, a
great interchange point for freight.
West-bound trade goods - kettles, axes,
steel traps, blankets, cloth, knives,
tobacco, etc. - traded places with
east-bound furs.
The great Canadian tradition of the
Voyageur of old centres to a considerable degree in Thunder Bay. For
several centuries the life-blood of
Canadian commerce was the fur trade,
nd for some of this time the t orts of
the North West Company and the
Hudson's Bay company were vital
depots in this continent-wide flow of
goods.
The struggle for control of the fur
teade on the North American continent is the most intriguing and
fascinating part of our history. Between
1816 and 1821 the two fur companies
carried on war-like activities against
each other with the Fort being
occupied by each at various times.
Finally, the two companies united in
1821. The Hudson's Bay Post at Point
de Meuron, a few miles up river, was
abandoned soon after 18 72.
Meantime, three to four miles to
the north, a small settlement was
growing which in 1857 became known
as "THE STATION". This military
staging area later was to become the
City of Port Arthur. It was from this
point in 1870 that the first Red River
Expedition ventured to Western
Canada.
On July 10, 1868, a small party of
prospectors, headed by Thomas MacFarlane, Montreal mining engineer,

working out of "The Station" discovered the area's silver mines, Silver
Islet Mines.
By the autumn of 1869, a 25-mile
military road was under construction
west of the "Station". In the following
year Colonel Sir Garnet Wolseley (later
Lord Wolseley), leading troops from
eastern Canada, disembarked from the
scenic anchorage. Enchanted wi h the
natural beauty of "The Station",
Wolseley renamed the post "Prince
Arthur's Landing" in honour of Prince
Arthur, son of Queen Victoria. In
1884, the villagers changed the name
to "Port Arthur" and had the town
incorporated.
It was about this time that the
infant Canadian Government, formed
in 1867, started to think of expanding
the country westward. A young civil
engineer, Simon J. Dawson was appointed to make a survey of a possible
wagon and water route to the Red
River Colony - now Winnipeg, still
under the paternalistic rule of the
Hudson's Bay Co. Dawson finall y recommendea a wagon road to L ke
Shebandowan, then over the o1d canoe
water route to the west shore of th.e
Lake of the Woods and onward over a
wagon road to the Red River Settlement.
Today the road is commemorated
with the name "The Dawson Trail"
starting at the harbour in Port Arthur
Fort William was also growing into
a large community and great impetus
to growth was supplied when the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company
was started in 1875, and commenced
building a railroad westwardly. Fort
William became an incorporated town
in 1892.

Artist's concept of Fort William, circa 1816, upon which the reconstruction will be based.

WHEN LORD SELKIRK invaded Fort
Wi 11 iam in 1816, he sketched the
palisade and buildings and took inventory of everything on the 110-acre
site on the Kaministiquia River.
Now, a century-and-a-half later, the
old fort is being reconstructed at
Pointe de Meuron and the jottings of
such early adventurers are contributing to the project's authenticity. That,
along with the painstaking work by
researchers, planners and workers with
hardhats bearing the crest of the old
North West Company, topped by the
motto "perseverance."
On Jan. 20, 1971, the former prime
minister of Ontario, John Robarts,
announced the rebuilding of Old Fort
William. On June 20, 1971, the Honorable Bill Davis turned the first sod and
by the middle of September, 1971,
construction was under way.
Since that time the site has been
cleared, a road built, a watermain
installed and timbers and other equipment purchased.
Carpenters have been practising
using the old tools such as broadaxes,
pit saws and draw knives.
When completed in the fall of
1974, Old Fort William Historic Park
will be one of the largest historical
reconstructions of its type in North
America. It will attract thousands of
visitors and millions of dollars to the
area.
Within a palisade 15 feet high and

12

two football fields square, 40 structures
will be created. These will include a
Great Hall, quarters buildings, pack
houses, a canoe yard, blacksmith and
carpenter shops, a stone store house
and a jail for refractory voyageurs.
A minor palisade will enclose a shipbuilding yard. Two buildings plus the
skeleton of a partially completed
vessel will be housed in this area.
There will also be a substantial farm
area outside the palisade, which will
contain seven buildings. The Visitors'
Information Center will contain a
movie theatre, museum, souvenir outlets, administration offices and a fine
restaurant.
A waterway running across the
width of the site and separating the
historical section from the modern
section will also be constructed. At the
present time 50 campsites have been
planned and these will be serviced by
both water and electricity. The camping area may be expanded at some
later date.
THE REAL THING

"There are many problems in
building an apartment block. So you
can imagine the problems in trying to
restore something from 1816," says
John Naprawa, director of operations
in the city for National Heritage
Limited, project managers for the $10
million, province-sponsored reconstruction.

Some furnishings from the period
have already been donated and as
much original furniture as possible is
being sought - but with 50 buildings
to furnish, the task is a difficult one.
Some furniture from the Great
Hall, for example, has been traced to
Spain and efforts will be made to
acquire it.
"What we're trying to do," said
Mr. Naprawa, "is create a total effect
in the historical area of the site. We
don't want people to see modern
things."
And he added: "We're going to get
away from the cheap souvenirs that
unfortunately you sometimes see at
historical reconstructions - where
people spend millions of dollars and
in the souvenir shop you have a plastic
Mountie on a felt horse."
Instead, the old fort will be a
"living reconstruction" where staff
dressed in costumes of the day, will
be doing the things old fort residents
once did.
"We'll bake bread in the old ovens
and we'll have that for sale. We'll
make tallow candles. The carpenter
will make furniture using original tools
and this furniture will be for sale.
We'll make birchbark canoes and they
will be for sale," said Mr. Naprawa.
And how does one find a birchbark-canoe maker in this day?
"With a great deal of difficulty,"
replied Mr. Naprawa.

�MOTORWAYS IS PROUD
to be
playing a significant part in the food
business in Thunder Bay. A good
share of the food brought into the
Lakehead every week over the nation's
highways is carried in Motorways
trailers.
A city of over 111,000 people,
enjoying a good standard of living and
blessed with a solid payroll economy,
boosted in the summer months by the
tourist business, consumes an impressive volume of food. Thunder Bay
Terminal Manager Ed Metzler states
that in an average week Motorways
brings in 25 to 30 truckloads.
That's a lot of good eating, for the
total weight accounted for by Motorways alone comes to 1,250,000 pounds
per week.
The goods roll in, literally, from
the four corners of the country.
Thunder Bay does suffer somewhat

from its isolation from major food
producing and processing areas, located
as it is in a decidedly non-agricultural
part of the country. The hinterland
is great for hunting and fishing, produces millions of trees for the paper
industry and yields impressive tonnages
of rich mineral ore, but the solid rocks
of the Shield don't shape up too well
in the beef and bread department.
This means that almost all of the
food in Thunder Bay's wholesale warehouses and on its retail shelves comes
from a considerable distance. It can
include frozen poultry from Montreal,
1100 miles to the east, and processed
fish from Vancouver, 2,000 miles to
the west. Joe Hocevar, Manager of
the Bay City Mall store for A &amp; P put
it colourfully when he joked "We'r~
1,000 miles from our warehouse!~'
The greatest percentage of A &amp; P
goods come from Toronto, with a small

percentage - meats and baked goods coming from Winnipeg.
The key to servicing the food business lies in timing and in local scheduling. Perishable goods - ice cream,
fresh meat and fruit, produce, etc. can't wait in transit if they're going
to go on display with their youthful
appeal still intact. In Thunder Bay
alone there are six Safeway, four A &amp;
P, three Loblaws and two Dominion
stores, plus two major wholesale distributors. The 25 to 30 truckloads of
goods that arrive each week must not
only reach Thunder Bay without delay,
but must be distributed quickly on
arrival. Perishables come in on a daily
basis and, where they are delivered
directly to the retail outlet, must be
there at a precisely specified time for
unloading.

Modestly in the background, but nevertheless proud of the new
building stretching away into the distance, is Macdonald's Consolidated Limited Branch Manager D.H. Owston. On the right is Motorways Terminal Manager Ed Metzler.
The two men had just completed a guided tour of the brand new warehouse building which covers some 46,500 square
feet of ultra-modern warehousing space. The facilities include four inside bays for loading and unloading trailers. The bays
will accomodate both tractor and trailer, making all-weather goods transfers a comfortable and more convenient operation.
Macdonald's Consolidated first came to their present location in 1959, and underwent some expansion in 1960. The centre
services six Safeway stores in Thunder Bay as well as numerous independent merchants, and institutions. The market territory
includes all of Northwest Ontario.

W,ay stores in his Northwest Ontario district, is a busy man. In
Thunder Bay's six stores the firm employs from 250 to 280 full and part-time
people. And one of these stores, the Lakehead Shopping Centre store, is 32,000
square feet in area, second-largest in Canada only to a store in Vancouver.
In addition to the Thunder Bay operation, there are stores in Sault Ste. Marie,
Dryden, Kenora and Fort Frances.

Mr. Joe Hocevar is the Manager of the Bay City Mall A &amp; P in
Thunder Bay. The Bay City store is one of four in the city, two
being located in suburban shopping centres, two downtown.
The four A &amp; P stores in Thunder Bay employ approximately 225 people, . including part-time, full-time and management. There are 91 currently working in
Mr. Hocevar's store.
Except for locally-purchased goods, Motorways hauls the greatest percentage
of the merchandise sold by A &amp; P in Thunder Bay. They require an average of two
trailers per day, six days per week, most of these from Toronto. Meats and baked
goods, accounting for around 10% of the volume carried by Motorways, come from
Winnipeg.
In the photo, Mr. Hocevar demonstrates that his 20 years with A &amp; P haven't
dulled his sense of personal service to his customers. With a helping hand from
Terminal Manager Ed Metzler, he helps a pleased shopper load up her station wagon.

The Thunder Bay
V veS m
rocerS branch of Western
Grocers Division of Westfair Foods operates a 65,000
square-foot warehouse under the management of Elmer
Shulz. The staff includes over 30 full-time and, on the
average, 10 part-time.
The two major retail affiliates of Western Grocers are
Lucky Dollar and Tom Boy stores. In Thunder Bay there
are six Lucky Dollar and two Tom Boy locations. The
company also services Econo-Mart in Thunder Bay and two
out-of-town Shop-Easy stores, one in Marathon and one in
A tikokan. But the largest percentage of volume is with
independent stores, both in Thunder Bay and in the marketing area which stretches from Dryden to Manitouwadge,
and from the U.S. border to Hudson's Bay.
Mr. Shulz is pleased to mention to visitors that the company also does a lively business out of a smaller cash-andcarry wholesale outlet next to the main warehouse.
An interesting sidelight pointed out by Mr. Shulz is the
brisk business the cash-and-carry depot does in supplying
U.S. retailers with our Canadian jams. "And," he says,
"some of the retailers along the border do a land-office
business selling jam to American tourists."
And what would the favourite be? Strawberry is by far
the biggest seller.
In the accompanying photo are Mr. Shulz, Dennis
Caporale, Motorways Sales Rep, and Mr. Donn Bunk,
Produce Manager for Westfair Foods in Thunder Bay.

�West Coast Wire Works
You could say quite accurately that
West Coast Wire Works is in the weaving
business, although fabric of the traditional sort has never been a product
of the Thunder Bay plant. West Coast
weaves wire into cloth, and while this
may not equal the accomplishment of
the legendary pioneer lady who took
a box full of steel wool and knitted
herself a stove, it is nevertheless a
unique and interesting process.
The product turned out in the
Thunder Bay plant of West Coast Wire
Works is Fourdrinier Wire which is
used in the manufacture of paper.
Nearly all paper commonly used,
except high grade writing paper, is
made from wood pulp'. The pulp is
prepared either by grinding the wood
or by boiling it with chemicals under
pressure to reduce the wood to fibres
of nearly pure cellulose. The fibres
are mixed with clay, sizing material
such as rosin, colouring matter and
water to form a pulp which has the
consistency of thin soup. This pulp
is fed onto a belt of wire cloth called
a Fourdrinier Wire.
As the pulp
passes over rolls and suction boxes
on the Fourdrinier wire, the water
drains away and a wet sheet is produced which is lifted off the wire
cloth and fed between rollers where
still more water is squeezed out. The
sheet then passes onto large steam
heated rollers where it is finally dried
and wound in rolls.
Wires are woven in various widths
up to about 32 feet and various
lengths up to 190 feet or more; the

size depending on the size of the paper
machine for which the wire is manufactured. The ends of the wire are
joined together, or, "seamed", and the
wire is thus completed in the form
of a wide endless belt. The wire is
then stretched to the required length
and trimmed to the desired width on a
stretch frame. The finished wire is
rolled up carefully on three poles,
packed in a strong wooden box, and
dispatched to the Paper Mill.
At the Paper Mill the Fourdrinier
Wire is fitted onto the Paper Machine
where it rotates in very much the
same manner as it is rotated on the
stretch frame.
In the manufacture of wire cloth
for paper making, it is important that
the mesh of the cloth be uniform and
of a specified count so that the water
drains through evenly and at the right
speed.
It is most important that the surface of the wire is perfectly level and
smooth, because irregularities would
cause faults in the paper and also result
in the wire wearing out very rapidly
where these irregularities occur.
The Thunder Bay plant was built
in 1964, and is a branch operation
with head offices in Vancouver, B.C.
The Plant Superintendent is Peter
Slaney. Including hourly wage and
salary staff, the plant employs an
average of 30 people.
The raw material comes to the
plant from Montreal in the form of
rolls of brass and bronze wire which
is drawn to the working diameters of

West Coast Wire's Plant Superintendent Peter Slaney, left, wfth
Motorways Sales Rep Dennis Caporale.
Behind them is the stretching frame
where finished wires are stretched to
the exact size required by the paper
manufacturer.

.0095 to .0134 inches, depending on
the coarseness of the wire on order.
The weaving is done on a huge loom
using processes very similar to those
used in weaving cloth. Extreme care,
however, must be taken throughout
to ensure that the product is absolutely
flawless.
Some idea of the care required is
indicated by the fact that the wire is
joined end to end to form a continuous
belt by the simple but extremely delicate process of hand soldering it together, strand by strand, with gold or
silver solder. Considering that there
might be 64 strands to the inch, and a
wire regularly comes in 30-foot widths,
this is an exacting exercise in precision
workmanship.
West Coast Wire's market area is
mainly local and eastern, with shipments as far east as Newfoundland.

Abitibi
ITS ALMOST A SURE THING that
sometime or another, every Canadian
picks up something made out of Abitibi
paper. Time Magazine, Maclean's, the

George Valiquette, left, Traffic
Supervisor for the Abitibi Provincial
Paper Division, casts a professional
eye on an item of printing proffered
by Motorways Terminal Manager Ed
Metzler.

Reader's Digest and those all-time
popular classics, Eaton's and Simpson's
mail order catalogues are all printed on
paper turned out by Abitibi.
In Thunder Bay the company is a
major employer in its two newsprint
and one fine paper mill. All together,
with the mill and woodlands operations, the company provides a payroll
of $17,500,000 annually to the economy of the Lakehead.
One of the latest and most interesting products is "stripable" wallpaper
that is printed in layers that hold together while the paper is on the wall,
but are so constructed that the top
layers will peel off the bottom adhesive
layer, and a new covering can then be
applied.
Motorways is a willing associate in
the wide distribution of Abitibi's
Thunder Bay production. Both rolls
and sheet paper are hauled to
Vancouver on the west and to the
east coast.
