Brigade is Farewelled Governor-General In Impressive Review At Fort Lewis FORT LEWIS, Washington W Amid stirring scenes, the Governor-General said goodbye to the 25th Brigade yesterday and bade its soldiers a good fight against Communists both on and off the battlefield. Probably 15,000 watched Lord Alexander, famous British field marshal, review 5,000 to 6.000 troops, all bronzed, fit and keen for Korean action. It was a sight to arouse the pride of any Canadian. Brilliant sunshine caught the bayonets of the men as lines of khaki marched past the reviewing stand for a solid 40 mijlutes. The Governor-General, in uniform himself, saluted as they passed two battalions of infantry, a regiment of artillery a squadron of tank men, engineers, signallers and all other ranks that will soon sail for the Far East. Over his head fluttered the I Company Man Saved but Gillnetter Missing in Hecate Straits The sharp eyes of a Canadian Pacific Airlines crew helped to avoid what might have ber-n serious trouble in Hecate Straits for the Department of Transport radio operator at Sandspit. Operator Rupert GUlett left the Seal Cove dock Thursday evening in his private gillnetter, "Danny Boy," returning to his station at Sandspit after a visit to the city. Developing engine trouble about 12 miles off Lawn Point, the Danny Boy and crew of one were left adrift on the heavy sea late Friday morning. Soon after the trouble, captain of the CP A. Canso, Robert Mclnnes, on the airlines regular flight between Prince Rupert and Sandspit, spotted the drifting Danny Boy. Mclnnes phoned to airlines radio operator A. E. (Al.)

The first producer of chemical fibres to construct its own pulp plant, Cclanese Corporation or America will utilize output of this mill in connection with recently announced plans for expansion of textile, plastics and chemical operations in the United States, Canada and other countries.

Designed to bring government and industry together in conserving forest areas of the province, the forest management license provides that forest areas will be developed In such a way that utilization will balance natural growth. The effects of the Columbia Cellulose Company Limited development ultimately will be far-reaching for Canada, since It is planned that eventually much of the cellulose produced will undergo further manufacture in the Dominion instead of being exported as cellulose pulp. In this connection it was recently announced that cellulose from the new Prince Rupert mill will be shipped to a plant which is to be built at Edmonton, Alberta, by Canadian Chemical Company, Ltd., another Canadian affiliate of Celanese Corporation of America.
