Can Cel employees |
complete apprentiship

Ta Can Cel employees with
the Pohle Lumber Ope.ation in
Terrace made company late
last week when they recelyed
their certification as
millwrights the first two
employees to complete a four
year apprenticeship program at
the Lumber operation,

The two - Ed Schulmeister
and Ralph Braam, completed

their training on August Ist bet ©

delays in getting the certificales
postponed their actual cer-
tification until last Wednesday.
On that day they were
presented their certificales by
Pohle resident manager Bob
Davis in a short and informal
ceremony.

Both Schulmeister. and
Braam have been with Pohle
Lumber since it was acquired
by Can Cel (then Col Cel) in
November of 1969, At that time
bath were working with clean-
up crews. Braam started full
lime work at the mill in May of
1970, Schulmeister a month
later, They began their ap-
prenticeship training on 1 August

The apprenticeships last for
three years (both were given
One year’s credit for previous
work al the mill) and involved
lraining both on the job and ala
Vocational School in Burnaby.
During the _year iney spent

eleven months in the mill and
one at the school,

As well they were assigned
textbooks which were studied
throughout the year.

The task of ‘the imillwright
was described by PR man Bob
Black.as that ofan ‘operating
machinis?. Millwrights are in
charge of the installation,
maintenance and repair of all
industrial equipment in the mili
and, along with the electricians
keep the mill runing. Or as
Ralph Braam put it:

“If Bob Davis sees us running
then he knows he has trouble."*

To gel together to present the
certificates was very informal

’Kermodgei has long been the

symbol of Terrace and citizens ©

_who have deserved special
“recognition for services ‘ren-
‘dered ‘to: the communily, have
been. awarded Kermodei Bear
Bins.

“Mr. Did, Spalding of the Fish
and Wildlife Branch has noi
seen fil ta collaborate with the

Municipality in acquiring the
mounied specimen so the
Mayor has gone directly to the
Minister in an effort to acquire

this bear to be on permanent
display in the District of
Terrace.

In a letter ta Jack Radford,

‘Minister of Recreation and

Conservalion,, Mayor Rowland
states ‘‘There is a tramendous
interest locally ta have this bear
displayedin our community, As
pointed cut in letters from Mr,
Spalding the Kermodel has been
lurned over fo the Pravinelal

ting of the hide. Itis our desire,
‘afler lhe museum has studied
and done the necessary testing,
to pul the animal on display in
Terrace," - -

The Mayor continues by
saying “It has often been said
“we should be attracting people

to the northern area” and we: -

feel thal possession of the
Kermodei would -help to do
exactly thal."
