The selection of a leading in-dustrialist as chairman of the newSudbury board of trustees Is inkeeping with the Foundation's in-creasing interest in the employedalcoholic," Dr. Dymond said.

Bill Joliiisoii lEadLoiigest Service

Just two months short of halfa century was the enviable Incoservice record established by BillJohnson. machine shop foremanat Coniston. whose retirement onpelision became effective thisiiionth.

Bill's career brings the Johnsonfaiiiily's total of Inco service to

144 years. Hisfather. FrankJohnson. wasa 28-year manwhen he re-

- tired on pen-sion in 1931.and his broth-ers Earl ofConiston an d

tGordon of Cop-per Cliff, withservice to dateof 37 and 30years respec-

Mrs. Johnson tively, make upthe balance.

The man whose 49 years and10 months at retirement was thelongest service of any Inco em-ployee in Canada was born intothe nickel industry on February 9,1900. at the Mond Nickel Com-pany's Victoria Mine townsite.

Frank Johnson. born in Sweden,was master mechanic at VictoriaMhie and later at Coniston, towhich the Mond smelting opera-tion was moved in 1913. He be-came an Inco man on the mergerof Mond with Inco in 1929. Hehad a family of 14. Prior to join-ing Mond he worked for a shorttime for the Canadian CopperCompany, Inco's corporate pie-decessor, at its Copper Cliff no. 1mine, just back of the town'spresent municipal building whichin those old days housed the Com-pany's offices.

Fif teen must have been BillJohnson's lucky number. He was15 years old and It was April 15,1915, when he started in the Conis-ton plant as plumber's helper. Hebecame mail boy in the office fora couple of months and then wentinto the machine shop to com-mence hLs apprenticeship. In 1948lie succeeded Bill Bray as foreman.

Almost as rare a sight in Thomp-son as it would be in Toronto de-spite the Manitoba nickel town'snorthern setting, is a team of full-blooded sleigh dogs. They're partof the way of life around settle-ments like Nelson House, where theIndians use them on their trap-lines, but that's a long way backin the bush.

So when Gib McEachern hitchesup hts lacing string of huskies andtakes off along Thompson Driveen route to the Burntwood Riverfor a workout, the citizens stop andenjoy this traditional touch of theNorth. The eight dogs with theirlong sleigh and white-clad driverniake a tine spectacle on a bright,snappy winter's day.

Gib's wife Barbara is a schoolteacher at Nelson House, so onhis day's off from the mine heharnesses the dogs, cracks hiswhip, and mushes off over thewinter trail on a 50mile jaunt topay her a visit.

He first worked at the smelterin 1929, the year he came overfrom Finland and joined a brotherhere. In 1930 Lauri quit but aftertrying several other jobs returnedto the smelter in 1932. He was apuncher on the converters formany years. That's a good placeto work now," he smiled. Muchbetter than 30 years ago."

Just before leaving the old land

in 1929 Lauri married Aino Maki,who joined him in Canada a fewyears later. They lived in CopperCliff and now have an apartmentin Sudbury.

4 20 years ago,has spent most

Mrs. Strong of his life inCopper Cliff.

He was born in London, Englandat the beginning of the centurybut in 1905 the family set sail forAustralia, via Canada. 'An agentfor the old Canadian Copper Com-pany was in Montreal looking formen," Torn recounted, "so my daddecided to have a look at thisCopper Cliff place." His fatherworked as craneman in the oldconverter building.

Reminiscing, Tom said that theoriginal Copper Cliff school waslocated on Balsam Street wherethe dairy now stands. 'From thereit went to Union Street where wefirst lived, then it was located onSchool Street"

Tom left school in 1915 to workas office boy for Bert Flynn. Laterhe worked in the laboratory forDick Coleman, then joined thefitters. Bill Scott \va,s forommianthen" Toni said, "and A. D. Mileswas the gemieral niamiager."

he made many lasting friendships•tmmd also net a charmmmimig zirl,

Ethel Munro, who became his wifein 1927 at St. Catharines.

A cracking good junior hockeyplayer, Tom played hockey atGrimsby a couple of years afterleaving a power project job atQueenston. "Remember the oldColumbia gramaphones?" Tomasked. "Well I worked for themin Grimsby."

He returned to Copper Cliff in1923 to play ball for Bert Flynnbut was laid off work the sameyear so went to Espanola. "LeoMcLaughlin came down to Creigh-ton when I went there," Tom re-called.

The following year he playedball at Port Colborne and workedat the nickel plant.

Next move was to St. Catharineswhere Tom spent three years a,schief toolmaker for the CanadianEngineering Company. He alsoplayed ball. The offer of a jobby Frank Eager at Levack and achance to play ball lured him backnorth in 1928. However after onequick look at Levack, which waspretty isolated at that time, ourhero walked briskly back to therailroad station and returned toCopper Cliff.

A few days later he met JackGarrow who sent him back towork with the fitters. Before goingto the mill in 1933 Tom worked fora time in the loco shop and themachine shop. He became amechanical general foreman in1948 and worked in a supervisorycapacity many years before that.

Said Tom, '1 liked it at the mill.It was challenging work - nevera dull moment. And I am proudto think that we produced somemighty good men."

Besides playing ball and hockeyThin has managed many teams inthese sports at Copper Cliff. Akeen sports fan still, he now limitshis active participation to bowling,which he has enjoyed for 40 years.

In Thompson as well as in the Nickel Belt and at Port Colborne the annualMinor Hockey Week in Canada turned the spotlight on the thriving organization that gives every boy a properly supervised chance to play the nationalgame with all the bigtime trimmings. Under the sponsorship of the ThompsonCommunity Club more than 250 boys from 6 to 18 kick up their heels in thetown's flourishing minor hockey league. About half of them are shown in theabove photo. There are 21 teams in the setup, all fully uniformed: threein the Tom Thumb division, four in the PeeWee, four in Bantam B, five in

Murray McKenzieBantam A, four in Midget, and one in Juvenile which plays in the town'ssenior league. Each team has two coaches and all games are handled bythe senior league referees. The 10 more advanced teams were all entered inthe Manitoba playdowns, quite a feat in itself considering the distances involved. President of the Thompson minor hockey organization is GeorgeRobinson, commissioner is Wally McEwen, and general factotum is that irrepressible sports enthusiast Red Sangster.

Joe CiisanteJoe Crisante was born in the

heart of Italy's grape and olivecountry and may revisit that landnow that he's on pension. He hasretired from Garson where heworked most of his years as track-man, went underground as a

trackman in1939 and spentthe last 10

. years as sur-face trackman.

Forty - twoyears ago helanded inMontreal, gota job withFraser - Braceand workedwith them un-til joining Inco.

In additionMrs. Crisante to such con-

struction jobs as paper mills andpower plants (Including High FallsIn 1927) Joe worked on the Froodrockhouse and great smelter con-struction. "I was track boss then,"Joe said, "and I laid all that trackat the Frood rockhouse and in thelower yard at Copper Cliff.' Hislast construction job before joiningInco in 1937 was helping with theaddition of two new furnaces atthe smelter.

Joe laughs when he remembersthe traIn ride from Montreal tohis first job at Great Falls, Mani-toba. "I couldn't speak Englishand didn't know the value of Cana-dian money," he grinned, "and Iwas always hungry. Everytime thetrain stopped I got off, went intothe restaurant, ordered pie bypointing to it and always paidwith a five dollar bill. When I gotto Winnipeg my pocket was so fullof change I was lopsided."

In 1928 Joe married AntoinetteDOstillio in Montreal. One sonDavid lives there now, another.Joe, is at the Soo and daughterDora Mrs, Della Vedova) in Sud-bury. They have nine grandchil-dren.

First In, Last OutOne of the first men to take up

residence in the camp when con-struction of the Thompson plantgot underway in February 1957was Lermie Palanychka, a Foun-dation Company employee. InMarch 1961 he transferred to Incoas plant messenger, a responsibility

he handles with efficiency aiid dis-patch.

Lennie stayed on at the campalthough the number of men liv-ing there dwindled to half a dozenas the old buildings were graduallytorn down and the single menmoved to smart new boardinghouses in town, Finally, with thelast meal in the plant cafeteriabilled for February 14, Lenniecapitulated. On February 13.exactly eight years to the day sincehis arrival, he bade a reluctantfarewell to his cherished H-huthideaway, packed his belongings,and became a town-dweller.
