PAPER MILLS DEVELOPMENT
A STATEMENT by the Whakatane Paper Mills representative at the sitting of the Armed Forces Appeal Board yesterday gives further indication of the remarkable development which has taken pla,ce in this new and important industry which has sprung up at our town's back door. The company has now, all but completed changing" over its source of pine-wood supplies from Matakana Island to its own substantial plantations at Matahina. The transfer should be completed in the near future, as the Matakana operations cease on June 19. The new scene of action throws open the immense new forests of young pines which march for miles along the hill country west of Galatea and which constitute the consumation of yet another achievement in the progress of a very carefully plan ned and important commercial venture. These things will be borne in mind when on Thursday, July Bth, a brief ceremony at the mills will see the unveiling of a monument to the memory of the man whose brain and foresight laid the foundations of the new company—the late Mr H. A. Horrocks.
