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."

Minter retained the services of photographer David
Roels, designer John Weyburg, Illustrator George
McLachlan and Agency Press. 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.
