A new offer on job security was made to the Quebec strik- ers Wednesday by the govern- ment - controlled liquor board, and Premier Lesage warned that 'it is evident the provin- cial finance department will be consulted." Revenues from the board have a direct bearing on the provincial budget, he said. Two other provincial houses --Ontario and British Columbia --are in session. Plans for the Newfoundland pulp mills were announced in the Liberal government's throne speech at the opening Wednes- day of the new legislature ses- sion. WILL BE LARGEST Two mills will be built near Lake Melville, Labrador, with one of them to be the largest producer of semi-chemical pulp in the world. It will cost $50,- 000,000 'and production will be 1,000 tons a day, expected to start in 1966. The third mill will cost about $50,009 and will be built at Come-By-Chance, Nfld. It will produce 100,000 tons daily of bleached newsprint for export to the United States and 75,000 tons of bleached pulp for Eu-) rope.
