A good many of us will have found most of 1971 a most difficult and trying year, occasionned by the nwnerous problems encountered in the "rmmning-tin" of our new mill. I wish to thank everyone for their co-operation and for the gigantic effort put forth towards the solutton of our problems. I also wish to extend my most sincere thank you to the ladies in appreciation for their patience while thetr men worked long and tiring hours. As the year draws to a close we can rejoice as we can now start to apprectate the result of our combined efforts. We look with anticipation towards better achievements and greater sat- tsfactton for everyone during the coming year. On behalf of the Directors and Officers of Cassiar Asbestos * Corporation Limited, I extend our most stncere wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Very Sincere] Yours, le, . C.
