. toured paper mills similar to that
proposed by Orenda in Duluth and

Grand Rapids and found both mills ©

to be visually pleasing and quiet,
with none of the odour associated
with kraft mills.

He noted, however, that the tour
was not designed to provide any
technical knowledge. Instead, it
was designed to investigate the
visual, audio and aromatic percep-
tions of the two mills and to con-
sider their impact on their host
communities and surrounding
environment.

In Duluth, he explained, they
toured the downtown Lake
Superior Pulp and Paper Mill and
various members of the group then
visited the Lake Superior Sanitary
District, met with the Chamber of
Commerce and entered into casual
conversation with neighbouring
residents. In Grand Rapids their
schedule was similar, with a tour
of the Blandin Paper Company and
meetings with the Chamber of
Commerce, Independent Union of
Land and Paper Mill Workers, and
the mayor.

The best indicator of the safety
of the process, said Eastman, was
the location of the two mills. Both
were located in a mix of residen-
tial homes and retail outlets, and

In concluding his presentation,
Eastman said they left Terrace
with healthy scepticism but overall

Monteith says the exact cost of the
report is yet to be determined,

were Eastman, Talstra, Monteith

_ Max Muff of Terrace has another reason to be glad he decided
to install a clean, efficient Lennox natural gas heating system
in his home. In addition to the benefits of low cost operation
and environmental friendliness he enjoys with his Lennox
natural gas furnace, Max recently won a province-wide draw
for buyers of Lennox products. The prize of $1,000 was
presented by John Shumey, the B.C. area sales representative
for Lennox, and Allen Cameron Jr. of Terrace’s Northwest
Consolidated Supply.

Max qualified for the draw by purchasing a Lennox natural
