INAUGURAL LOAD BY TRIMAC

On Thursday Sept. 2nd, a quiet
ceremony took place at the Cassiar
Fibre loading dock at the mill when
A. Marques, forklift operator load-
ed the first pallet of fibre on to
a “Trimac" truck driven by Doug Lee.
(Doug is a former employee of
Cassiar.)

The occasion marked the arrival
of the P.G.E. Railway at Fort Nelson
and the establishment of facilities
to handle our fibre going South on
the Alaska Highway. Trimac will
handle the trucking on this run.

During the ceremony Mr. Caron,
General Superintendent of Cassiar
Asbestos Corp. Ltd., congratulated
P.G.E. officials on a job well done
by having the rail lines into Fort
Nelson on schedule. He said that
this, along with the extension into
Dease Lake was a large milestone
towards the further development of
a vast area in Northern, B.C. He
further stated that he had little
doubt that Trimac (one of the large-
st trucking companies in Canada)
would have little difficulty in
dealing efficiently with our prod-
ucts, and hoped our association with
them ai? the P.G.E. would be a long
and appy one, to the benefit of
all concerned,
