Hey- Look Us Over! A new booklet describing Cassitar, B.C. has just been published for general release to the people of Cassiar. Ed Hanley, Personnel Supervisor, said that the booklet was primarly produced to acquaint newcomers with Cassiar and the mine operations, "But I have the feeling that it will-be of general interest to anyone who lives here," he said. Titled simply "CASSIAR", the booklet contains over Sixty-five pictures of the community, the mine and the mill. ‘It covers the history of Cassiar, the community and the mining and milling operations. There is a sec- tion on the selling of asbestos, and the historical development of fibre as an aid to mankind. There is a comprehensive review of asbestos and health. Ed Hanley said that the idea of producing a new booklet about Cassiar was conceived during a general discussion about the first booklet which was produced many years ago and had become dated. “We asked Roy Minter what he thought about it and he agreed to take on the job of producing a new one. It was that fast. The whole project had the enthusiastic Support of Peter Steen, Jack Berry, and Bob Langford, and the project was off the ground." tik G ‘ artes PSS 1OSes 2 4 “ Z BEUCEECLELEEEEECECEECEEEEGEEEEZGELEEGE RAGELE BEECEECEEEEEEEZGELEL =~.

Within a matter of days Roels and Minter arrived in Cassiar to shoot the pictures. Minter said that producing the booklet was one of the most interesting Publications he had ever undertaken. "It was the people of Cassiar who made this booklet pos- Sible", he said. "I have never received more enthusias- tic help from a community of people in my life. And best of all it was fun to do. The guys and girls at the mine and in the mill were simply terrific. Bob Yorke and his union associates made a number of valuable suggestions on the section about health - and other Steelworkers went out of their way to help us along the way." Minter's only concern was that.there wasn't enough room to cover every aspect of Cassiar and the work that goes on here. "We had to be selective so we chose to interpret the main thrust of Cassiar operations and com-’ munity life. In fact I was given complete freedom to photograph and write what I liked and I have to thank the Company for that. I regard this kind of interpretive freedom a most enlightened corporate approach. They simply told me to do the book and then they left me alone." Hanley said that copies of the booklet can be picked up at his office. | Cassiar Lions § Festival assiar Lions Oummer Festiva Nant AP MADAADAADAADAAAAA 2d
