Chairman's Remarks
The year 1973 was a "mixed-bag" of challenges, difficulties and accomplishments for our School.
I
am pleased to have the opportunity to comment upon a number of matters which reflect the nature of
that "mixed-bag" and which may be of interest to the readers of this Year Book.
In general, the position of the School, as against that of one year ago, was marked by a
further improvement in staffing, space and facilities.
Looking back two years, to the time when the
Provincial government authorized the granting of the B.Sc.F. degree by Lakehead University, it is
clear that, in that period, the School has experienced a remarkable growth rate.
In 1971, a
full-time faculty of six, together with one technical assistant, provided forestry
courses to a student body of 180.
The School controlled laboratory and office space totalling
approximately 6,000 square feet.
During the current academic year, 14 full-time faculty members and 4 Sessional Lecturers are
assisted by nine Technical Assistants.
Our secretarial staff, too, has been increased to meet the
Office, laboratory and special purpose space assigned to the
growing requirements of our staff.
School was expanded to 17,500 square feet.
Enrolments in the Degree and Technology programs
totalled approximately 355 at the time of this writing.
The growth of the School, thus far, has been accomplished in a period of declining enrolments
elsewhere in the University, and of serious budgetary problems, the effects of which have been
experienced by all departments, including those which are enjoying rising enrolments.
Although we
have been able, thus far, to acquire and develop additional laboratories and offices without a
serious impact upon other departments, it is now clear that our total space requirement for 1974-75
of approximately 30,000 square feet will not be satisfied without the surrender of substantial areas
now controlled by other departments.
The alternative, of scheduling evening and Saturday sessions in
the laboratories currently available to us, would be regarded as unacceptable to both staff and
students,
I
have no 7 doubt.
Here, then, is a major problem with which we shall be struggling in the
J
next few months.
The recruitment of experienced, well qualified forestry instructors is another matter of concern
to us, and, indeed, to all of the professional
ability to provide
schools in Canada.
Although we have now the cap-
full range of basic courses for the degree and technology programs, we must
a
strive to expand our faculty to reduce the excessive course loads carried by the staff and to
develop new courses in such areas as forest hydrology, land use planning, and forest recreation.
Beyond these needs,
I
might mention that the initiation of
a
Masters program, as now planned for
11975, will depend upon our having additional staff to assist in this program.
During the spring, an Accreditation Committee of the Ontario Professional Foresters Asso-
ciation visited the University, and spent two days in discussions with us, and in an examination of
our facilities.
We were gratified to learn, ultimately, that the Association authorized the
accreditation of our Degree Program.
Late in the summer, representatives of the six professional schools in Canada met at Laval
University to form the Association of University Forestry Schools of Canada.
It is our hope that,
through the efforts of the Association, increased federal, provincial, and industrial support for
Canadian forestry education will be stimulated.

It is my hope and expectation that the opportunities for the practice of "modern forestry", as
defined here, will prove better than at any time heretofore.
Then our staff will have the
satisfaction of knowing that what is preached in the School will be practiced by all who go out from
our laboratories and lecture rooms to improve forestry practice in Canada.

RECOLLECTION OF AN OLD FORESTER
When a man has been working in forestry for over fifty years, it is time to look back and to
himself "What have you achieved?" After surviving the first World War, graduation "cum laude"
seven years of service in private forestry, I was appointed Senior Manager-Forest-master.
Like
other young forester I had more enthusiasm than experience, was very critical of anything old
was determined to change and improve everything.
That very week of my appointment, Mother Nature brought me adversity to challenge my
arrogance.
An unprecendented hurricane destroyed the timber equivalent of four allowable annual
cuts in our forest.
This event was the introduction and herald of my future stormy life.
Salvage of the devastated stands, sales of the rapidly deteriorating timber during the worst
of worldwide depressions and reforestation of the devastated areas was completed within three years.
What I learned from this disaster was invaluable.
I realized how little I knew about forests
and forestry and from then on, I never met anyone from whom I could not learn something.
In particular, this catastrophe convinced me that mixed, unevenaged stands were more resistant
to climatic and biotic incursions than were monocultures.
On my management unit 35%-40% of the
allowable cut had consisted of salvage fellings (e.g. dead trees, blowdowns or trees damaged by
insects or disease).
After the consistent, systematic improvement cuts of the first ten years,
salvage fellings never exceeded 5% of the annual cut.
At the same time I began the conversion of
spruce and pine monocultures to mixed stands, using strip, wedge or patch shelterwood systems.
Occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Nazis and the outbreak of the second World War made my work much
more difficult but my operations went on.
Although three times arrested by the Gestapo, I survived the war and in 1945 medals for
leadership in the antiNazi underground movement.
Promotion in the Czechoslovakian army followed.
My happiness did not last very long. After the Communist 'putsch' in 1948, I was accused of
collaboration with the Nazis and with a little bit of luck I was able to escape to the West.
The period since my arrival in Canada in January 1951 can be accurately and briefly described:
'from a 50<fr an hour labourer in a nursery to honorary professor of forestry'.
In concluding this brief dossier, I would like to tell my young colleagues - both students and
graduates - that the present situation of Canadian forestry is far from perfect but not quite
hopeless yet.
Don't blame others for this bad and sad situation.
You are young and you can change
it.
Good luck!

�EVOLUTION OF SILVICULTURE IN ONTARIO
by
J. F. Flowers
Regional Forester, M.N.R. (N.C. Region)
Silviculture is the key to a successful and well-managed forest.
Silviculture
has always been recognized by Ontario's forestry profession as the keystone to
sound management of the province's vast forest resource.
Unfortunately, it has
not always been possible for the profession to function as it would wish.
In this modern world, decisions are often largely controlled by economic rules
or rather economic considerations.
Initially, silviculture as such was given little
consideration in forest management; the main emphasis being placed on the economic
extraction of the specific species or products required to meet the public demand
of the times.
The forest was an obstacle to man in many cases and was "unlimited"
so it was not considered necessary to worry about regeneration.
are not made to criticize those who made these decisions.
These statements
They were appropriate to
the times and the higher priority of opening up and developing the country justifiably
took precedence.
This situation existed until after World War II although at the turn of the
century foresters were recognizing the need to reforest lands already cleared as
evidenced by the establishment of the first forest tree nursery in 1908.
The major
emphasis in the succeeding years was the planting of abandoned farm lands in Southern
Ontario.
Little consideration was given to the regeneration of areas harvested in
Northern Ontario.
In fact, many of the central Ontario forests which were "highgraded'
for specific species or products often regenerated satisfactorily due to the pseuedo
shelterwood system used.
of inferior quality
-
The species were, of course, the result of chance and often
at least in relation to the species demand of the time.
We are,
of course, now seeing demand reaching a level which tends to equalize the value
of the various species.
�Following World War II, a major change took place in the management of Ontario's
forests.
The first major forest inventory in the world based upon aerial photographs
was instituted and the province moved to establish forest management units through
out the province.
This move set the base for an expanded management program although
the initial emphasis was to develop allowable cuts and operating plans aimed primarily
at extraction.
At this time, it was legally the responsibility of the forest industry
to manage and regenerate those areas under license.
This approach did not prove to
be too successful and in 1962, the Crown Timber Act was revised and regeneration
became the responsibility of the Department of Lands and Forests.
From 1950 to the present has seen a gradual but ever increasing expansion in
the regeneration efforts of the now Ministry of Natural Resources.
During this period,
the ingenuity of Ontario Foresters and Technicians showed itself in the development
of numerous site preparation and regeneration techniques.
Many of the techniques and
equipment developments are now used in other Canadian provinces and in the United States.
As might be expected, the major emphasis during this period has been on artificial
regeneration, primarily planting with 1,020 million trees planted between 1951 and 1973.
In the late 1950' s, there was a move to the artificial seeding of jackpine from the air
and ground.
Generally, these efforts proved successful and started field foresters to
thinking how they could utilize the jackpine seed always present in the slash following
cutting.
trials.
The exposure of the mineral soil had been proven a necessity by the seeding
There were several fairly simultaneous field developments in different districts.
In Geraldton, they first tried scarification by pulling large poplar trees behind a
bulldozer; the next step was to pull large boulders and then oildrums filled with concrete
with pieces of railway track protruding from the sides.
It was a short move from this
to the finned barrels which have become a standard piece of equipment.
Other major
pieces of site preparation equipment which were developed by field foresters at that
time were the tractor pad and spiked anchor chain which is now the standard unit for
scarification of jackpine cut-over for natural regeneration.
�In the east and south, planting machines were an important part of the
artificial planting program with machine modification combined with a large V
blade which allowed very rough and brushy areas to be successfully treated in
this manner.
The need for mechanical regeneration techniques was seriously
recognized in 1970 with the establishment of an equipment development unit under
J.
Scott at Toronto.
Various pieces of equipment from all over the world have
been purchased for testing but the main effort has been to develop a tree planting
machine capable of planting under most field conditions.
Although still in the
prototype stage, the Mark II Ontario Planter will go operational in the 1974
summer season with three in Ontario and four in the U.S.A., purchased by Weyerhaeuser
for use on their vast holdings.
It is hoped that this machine will make it possible
to plant areas successfully without the heavy demand for labour required by
conventional hand planting.
Most parts of the province are experiencing increasing

difficulty in obtaining adequate labour to meet requirements.
preparation techniques are in use or being developed throughout the province and
with the expanding silviculture program required to adequately regenerate the vast
acreage which is being harvested and which will continue to expand in the future,
this trend must continue.
In 1973,
the Ministry developed a production policy
which the government has authorized implementation in part.
Approval has been
given for the development of a silviculture program which will ensure the availability
of a 9.1 million cunit allowable cut after the year 2020.
This will, in effect,
expand the present silviculture program to twice its present level by the year
1983.
Since the recent expansion of industry has been far in excess of
expectations in Northwestern Ontario, it has now become evident that a considerably
greater effort will be required in the northwest if we are going to, in effect,
maintain the predicted level of cutting into the next rotation.
Predictions are
that within five to ten years, we will approach the calculated allowable cut of
�all species in Northwestern Ontario.
A considerable effort will be required using all the silvicultural
techniques presently available as well as some which may yet be developed.
The
emphasis will have to be on forms of natural regeneration which do not require
a high labour content and on increasing mechanization of the regeneration techniques.
We must place our emphasis on the more inexpensive techniques such as seeding if we
are to use the funds that will be available to obtain the greatest result.
There
are several seeding systems and devices which are now available in the province,
some of which were designed and constructed in Thunder Bay.
The move to expand the planting program has made it necessary to extend the
normal planting season.
This has been accomplished by the development of field
cold storage units capable of holding stock lifted in the spring until planted in
late June.
An additional support to this approach has been the planting throughout
the spring, summer and fall.
This is possible by using the storage mentioned above
and then planting stock in the summer which is delivered daily from the nursery
and planted immediately.
One such year- long planting is conducted from the
Dog River Silviculture Camp which is equipped with a cold storage unit.
This camp
also carries out other silviculture treatments during a brief period in early
July when planting is not done.
This camp serves as a focal point for all
silviculture activities on a portion of the Great Lakes Paper Company license.
Other such camps will be required in the future if we are to meet our goal.
Trends in silviculture treatments are illustrated in the graph which
follows on the next page.

Symposium
On Saturday, February 2, 1974, L.U.F.A. held it's Sixth Annual Symposium.
This year's theme was, "The Effect of Logging on the Environment".
Speakers
Approximately 300 people attended the lectures in the afternoon.
included Mr. H. Timmerman, Regional Wildlife Biologist with the Ministry of
Natural Resources; Dr. J. A. Nicolson, Research Scientist with the
Canadian Forestry Service; Dr. G. F. Weetman an Associate Professor at the
University of New Brunswick; Mr. N. F. Lyon, a Research Forester with the
Ministry of Natural Resources; and Mr. M. Dixon, Woodlands Manager of Great
West Timber.
The speakers presented discussions on the beneficial and adverse effects
of present logging practices. One of the main ideas that developed from
the general discussion was that we are the experts in the field of Forestry
and must manage the Canadian forests for the needs of the Canadian people.
A dinner was served to roughly 400 people at the Ortona Legion.
Entertainment was provided by an orchestra.
Active student participation played an important role in the success of
the Symposium.

Weyerhaeuser Lecture Series
Weyerhaeuser Lecture Series
This year the Weyerhaeuser Lecture Series took place on March 4-7.
inclusive.
The Southern Hard Pine region of the United States produces 60% of
the volume required for pulp and paper production in the States and
experts feel that within 20 years the South Pinerys will replace the West
as the chief timber producing area.
The Committee thus felt that a Lecture
Series about the Southern Pines was both timely and pertenant. Hence our
topic was "The Southern Hard Pines of the United States:
Silviculture,
Production and Land Use Planning."
Three distinguished and knowledgable speakers presented papers for the
series.
Dr. Earl L. Stone Jr. presented a paper entitled, "Development and
Implementation of Southern Pine Silviculture" which was written for us by
Philip C. Wakeley, one of the most prominent figures in Southern forestry
between 1924 and 1964. Dr. Stone, Professor of Forest Soils at Cornell
University in New York, concented to deliver Mr. Wakeley' s paper on
extremely short notice and we greatly appreciated and enjoyed his enthusiasm
for the topic.
Mr. Thomas Terry, is a Research Forester intensely involved in Soils
and Regeneration Management with Weyerhaeuser Co., New Bern, North Carolina,
Tom delivered a most interesting slide show on intensive management practices
on the North Carolina coastal plains and how they effect growth of Loblolly
Pine.
He talked about drainage of wet lands for optimal growth, bedding for
wet land planting, fertilization, the seed orchard programme and amazed us
with slides of 5 year old Loblolly almost 20 feet tall.
Dr. Albert F. Ike gave us a Canadian Premiere of a movie made in the
mountain area of the south-eastern states showing the rapid influx of
real estate speculation.
Families which have owned farms for many generations
are being forced off their land through rezoning from pressures of speculators
This results in higher tax levels they are unable to pay.
He also talked
extensively about aesthetic effects of logging and illustrated new landscaped
methods of cutting which lessen the empact of forest operations.
We were very disappointed that such low turnouts were present for what
we felt was a most enjoyable and informative lecture series.
My special thanks to the committee members: Nancy Phillips, Wim Smits,
Dave Cadwell, Niel Ruttle and Willy Cheslock.

A TRIBUTE TO FORESTERS
Was an old Forester long ago
Climbed the last tree in Buffalo
Looked around him just to see
If he could find another tree
Every where he looked in vain
The U.S. was one sub -urban plain
Then he looked to Ca-na-da
And nearly died from what he saw
He climbed down from that last tall tree
Let a little cry of glee
Grabbed his saw £ made a line
Directly for our Canadian Pine.
The industrial plan it wasn't small
They were out to cut it all.
We'll make our buck § industry grow
And the stupid people will never know.
Now we come to the bitter bit
They cut every tree those big nit wits
Until at last our government cried
Enough, Enough you've cut your last pine.
'How do
you cock this thing?"
"GOTCHA"
"Now how's that go
THE FORESTRY TROPHY ROOM

"I

Canadians wanted to save the tree
So they sent out men § called it Forestry
The job was huge but they had a plan
"If we can't do it nobody can".
The object was to keep supplied
The industrialists, but to keep in mind
What the people wanted too
Forests again, green § new.
Their plan was simple and the forests grew
They cut down trees, but they planted too
And then they let the people know
Our forests again had started to grow.
Now we come to the joyful end
Our trees are standing once again
We must thank our forestry team
For saving us from the industrial dream.
Raise your glass and raise it high
Like a tree reaching for the sky
As a tribute to forestry
For because of them, the trees will always be.

A TRIBUTE
While sitting here behind a nostalgic glass
I think once more of my tech II class
The field trips, parties of the Saars
Leaving trails and many stars
No stars though for those who braved
The crowds at hockey games who couldn't wave
A flag for victory
But then again there was a win
At a place called the Inn
Tovivo would be so proud
If he could have seen the holiday crowd
Of animals
The girls, the parade of kazoos
Remind me of our skiing zoo
And inspirations developed of an Irwin
kept a van lost in a whirlwind
So, as my smile goes from ear lobe to ear lobe
Now join please
To toast a tribute for the men
Who gathered in the glorious den
Of Lakehead forestry.
The Wet-Head is dead
Gordon M. Mackenzie
I'll prove he has a forked tongue.

and peed in my bottle.

MID-WINTER'S NITE DREAM????
A bunch of the locals were whooping 'er up
at the pub on a Saturday night.
All tougher than hell, and pie-eyed ginned,
All cussin' and fit for a fight.'
The juke-box in the corner was bangin' right along
With "Okee from Muskokee" and "The Old Log Driver's Song."
When all of a sudden, I swear to you all, that every word is true.
and all eyes gazed at the man in the door in blue.
The noise it stopped!
He stood erect , his head held high
He glanced about the bar.
With eyes of steel, cold deep and blue,
And a look that went a-far.
He took himself a table in the center of the floor,
He ordered whiskey
He drank it down
And then he ordered more.
The silence it was deafening,
All eyes watched where he sat.
He chuckled as he gazed at the glass in his hand
And then, "by Gar" he swallowed back that.
He took his time, he finished up
And then rose to his feet.
And n'ere a man dared move or breathe,
N'or chance his glance to meet.
He slowly walked around the room.
To every table on the floor.
Not looking left, not looking right,
Till he had reached the door.
And there, he slowly turned around
For all that crowd to see.
The white and blue that spelled the words
of LAKEHEAD FORESTRY! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The story's told throughout the land,
I swear my friends it's true.
And if per-chance you doubt my word,
Ask one of the boys in blue.

�Chairman's Message
This edition of the Lakehead University Forestry Association's year book
must be regarded as one of potential historic value marking, as it does, the
graduation of our first class of foresters in 1973.
In 1948, our forest technology program was initiated under the direction
of the late C. John Campbell.
Few who were then associated with the develop-
ment, directly or indirectly, anticipated that it would become the progenitor,
25 years hence, of a full-fledged forestry degree program.
In the latter con-
text, it is appropriate that there be recorded, here, the name of John W.
Haggerty.
Professor Haggerty was intimately associated with the development of
the School of Forestry for more than 20 years until his death in August, 1971.
His unflagging aspirations and efforts towards the establishment of a forestry
degree program at Lakehead University were realized in 1971.
In April of that
year, the Ontario government authorized the University to provide such a program,
and to grant the degree, Bachelor of the Science of Forestry.
The reputation of any educational institution depends upon its graduates.
In the past quarter of a century, our School has been well-reputed through the
competence, zeal and ability of the graduates of our forest technology program.
The challenge before the forestry degree graduates of 1973, then, will be to
bring to professional practice an untiring determination to improve Canadian
forestry.
By endeavouring constantly to carry theory into practice, they will
reflect creditably upon themselves and upon the School of Forestry.
In behalf of the faculty and staff of the School,
I
am pleased to express
our best wishes to the Technology and Degree graduates of 1973 for challenging
and satisfying careers.
To the members generally of the Lakehead University Forestry Association,
I
must convey the appreciation of the faculty and staff for the patience, good-will
and co-operation which were manifested under the difficult conditions of the
1972-73 academic year.
We have been assured that substantial increases in faculty, staff and space
will be authorized for the School for 1973-74.
These benefits will enable further
improvements in our courses and programs to meet the growing challenges of forestry
in a post-industrial society.

���WHAT IS THE FORESTRY POLICY OF ONTARIO?
Amongst a majority of members of the forestry profession, doubtless, there
is a general assumption that a sustained yield policy has been adopted in the
province and, on the evidence of increasing silviculture activities and rising
expenditures in the past five years or more, that the policy is being effectively
implemented.
Since 1964, for example, outlays of public money on silviculture
have gone from $2,000,000 to more than $5,000,000 in 1971, and statistically,
at least, the annual reports of the Minister of Lands and Forests reveal in-
creases in acres treated, units planted and so on, commensurate with these outlays
.
If one should seek to find in the public record an unequivocal declaration
of the policy of Ontario in respect of forest lands, one which is known to and
supported by all political parties, and which has been defined in all its implications, both immediate and long term, for all of our citizens, he may have
some difficulty in finding any more substantial basis for the activities
mentioned above than the casual interest of the government of the most prosperous
of the ten provinces.
The Crown Timber Act
,
which is taken to be the legislative embodiment of
provincial philosophy and policy towards public forest lands makes no mention
of sustained yield.
Although a "management plan" may be required of a licencee
this, alone, is no assurance that such plan will be little more than an inter-
esting academic exercise, or, as has been too often the case, simply a long term
timber liquidation projection, in which unaided, beneficent natural processes
are offered as the basis for the establishment and growing of the next forest.
The Act provides that the "Minister may enter into" regeneration agreements
with licencees to promote and maintain the productivity of cut-over areas.
Here,
there has been a significant growth in activities and here, perhaps, can be seen
a confirmation of the dedication of the government to the principle of sustained
continued
�.
yield.
Beyond these provisions, however, the Crown Timber Act would seem to be
intended principally to ensure the orderly disposal of public timber, and for
the collection of dues, fees, charges, and penalties.
The support of our provincial government for sustained yield forest
management, whether assumed or implicit, appears to be most generous, perhaps
even embarrassing to some who are responsible for the expenditure of some part
of the public silvicultural largesse
,
but that support might well be examined
in the light of apparent provincial priorities
,
as revealed in the programs and
expenditures in other areas of the public realm, and in the extent to which the
full needs of an effective forest management program are being met.
Six years ago, the Forestry Study Unit estimated a need for the commitment
of $8.1 million to silvicultural programs by 1970, or approximately $3 million
more than were provided in 1971.
During the discussion on the estimates of his
Department in the Legislative Assembly, in 1971, the then Minister of Lands and
Forests acknowledged that current regeneration programs were inadequate and
confessed that he was unable to obtain a large share of funds from the public
purse for them.
It seems that other programs in the public domain were deemed
to be of greater importance.
These, doubtless, included the $25 million ex-
travaganza in Lake Ontario, "Ontario Place", and the recreation of various
provincial "heritage" sites at costs of some millions of dollars, such as old
Fort William, on the eroding banks of the Kaministiqua River.
Looking beyond the grosser aspects of public spending, at the silvicultural
program in particular, one is led to speculate as to the quality of regeneration
work being undertaken when he learns that, although the silvicultural budget has
increased by 2.5 times in the past seven years, no increase in the complement
of professional foresters in the employ of the Department of Lands and Forests
has been permitted since 1962.
Although a substantial portion of the increased
regeneration program was intended to fall .under the direction of cooperating
continued
�licencees, it is a fact that the initiative and responsibility for the planning,
design, and general supervision of projects remained with the Unit Foresters.
That the average Unit size, in the North, is approximately
1
million acres may
be sufficient indication of the extent of the responsibility assigned to these
people, and it may be inferred, of the intensity of management to be provided.
In considering this issue of forest policy in Ontario in the light of
actual experience across the past few years, one is inclined to speculate that
the policy is in reality one of expedience, perhaps best expressed as, "you
liquidate, we regenerate, where possible, and to the extent that funds may be
provided."
Indeed, in the past several years, there has occurred a shrinkage
in financial support for silviculture, and this has imposed stresses and dif-
ficulties at all levels.
Nearly 20 years ago, the Sixth British Commonwealth Forestry Conference adopted a resolution on Forest Policy, portions of which follow:
"1.
That the attention of all Commonwealth Governments be drawn to the
great need for a continuous and stable forest policy.
2.
That those Governments who have not yet formulated and published a
statement of their forest policy be urged to do so without delay, and
that all Commonwealth Governments be urged to take action to implement
their forest policies."
A forest policy, the Conference agreed, should aim at, "The protection,
conservation, and sustained yield management of sufficient areas of forest land
to ensure the maintenance and the improvement of the protection functions of the
forest, particularly in relation to soil and water supplies."
In discussing the necessary steps towards sustained yield, a Conference
committee stated that the attainment of adequate restocking of cut-over areas
by natural or artificial means should constitute "the first charge on the re-
continued.
�.
venue obtained from the harvesting of the crop."
Is it not time in Ontario, 106 years after Confederation, and after more
than 60 years of the presence and influence of professional forestry in the
province, that there should be on the public record a clear, comprehensive,
unequivocal statement of forest policy?
The existence of such a statement
would be a stronger basis for support for the needs of an effective sustained
yield forest management program, surely, than the present policy, if it exists,
which seems to be heavily shrouded in ambiguity and highly susceptible to the
vagaries of political climates.
Upon our profession, ultimately, rests the responsibility for the design
of a provincial forest policy which our legislators will recognize and adopt
as the indispensable foundation for the creation of a living heritage for future
generations

below zero as in some previous years, it was warm enough for pretzels and beer.
Nights were something else, with many people dropping in to say "hi" and
enlighten our spirits.
The night fire often flickered on into the early morning
as the "coffee" drinkers stayed on.
This year the campout went co-educational
with four girls deciding to try their camping skills overnight.
One of the
many highlights was the snowman, in typical forester stance, which received
much public attention.
On the last night the fire department was brought to
the ready when they noticed great flames on the horizon.
The fire chief came
by to check it out, and upon spying our merry group dancing and drinking decided
to leave us and the fire in peace.

Symposium
L.U.F.A.'s successful Fifth Annual Symposium presented contemporary views
on the Future Role of Forestry to a large audience of professional foresters
and students.
Five speakers representing different areas of Forestry in government
industrv and consulting services were originally engaged to speak but bad
weather closed airports in Northern and Southern Ontario keeping two of the
speakers from attending.
Given only twenty minutes notice, Mr. Lou Ringham,
Assistant Deputy Minister agreed to represent the Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources
Though they were unable to attend, Mr. W. W. Hall, a Consultant Forester

Industries Association; and Professor K. A. Armson, University of Toronto.
At the end of the lecture portion of the program, the Chairman of the 1973
Symposium Committee, Don Roy, adjourned the Symposium to the Ontario Legion
for an excellent dinner.

Thanks should go to all those who tried

There were two other

twice and lost to Physical Education twice.
Next year we'll keep up the
practices and maybe win another championship other than hockey.
One highlight of the season was an exhibition game plaved against Lakeview

SUMMARY
The biggest indication of how the sports program was enjoved this year,
was in the fact that Forestry again won the Participation Trophy.
Of all
trophies presented at the Awards Dinner Dance, this is the most prestigious
as it shows the Faculty with the largest participation in all sports throughout
the year.
Next year, along with this trophy, we should be able to come closer
to taking the Competition Trophy which is given to the Faculty with the most
wins in all sports.
The Dinner Dance put on by the S.C.A. is a galla affair
and all should partake of the celebrations, so next year
I
hope to see more
Foresters at the Banquet.
Thanks again to all participants, and referees for making 72-73 another
big year for Forestry in Sports.

provincial forest policy.

THE PRESIDENT'S REPORT
It is upon the close of this academic year that I became
reminiscent of my term as L. U. F. A. President. Though apathy seemed to
take an early foothold in the year, the unfounded accusation that Forestry
students as a whole had assumed an artsy attitude was quickly relinquished.
A remarkably successful orientation rite at Kangaroo Court and an October
Beef Bash was all that was needed.
Participatory wise, the Shine rama proved immensely that
lived up to its tradition of always coming out on top. The
bottle drive for United Appeal, even under the adverse conditions, surprisingly showed earnest drive.

The subsequent Social Nite and November Dance were also
undoubtedly enjoyed. The true wealth of belonging to the Forestry sect
continued into a Winter Carnival that would have fizzed without restoration
of carnival spirit (i.e. - the Tech I sculpture) by us.
Other involvements of the year such as the Annual Symposium,
a Germany field trip, and guest speakers added much to such a
short but eventful year.

Football 7-0 by scoring a single point and an unconverted
touchdown by Bob "Goose" Stoddart late in the game Saturday the
23rd. Phys. Ed. did have a good offensive attack but with some
tough breaks,
a few bad snaps and Forestry's ability to capitalize on
these mistakes, Forestry wound up on the long end of the score.
Forestry, you might say, is "numero uno". This Forestry 1 football
team has accumulated over 60 points in 4 games and allowed only
one point to be scored against them. This makes up for a little
revenge for the case of beer we lost in the volleyball game on
Thursday night which we lost by a point. The game played Saturday

WOODSMEN'S COMPETITION
The annual Woodsmen's Competition was held in the first
Saturday of Carnival Week. All contestants were in fine form from
the Forestry "Pisser" the night before. It is safe to say the event was
a success with five teams competing and ample spectators. Competing
were Degree II who came first, Geology who came in second, our
woodsmen's team who showed up third, and of course, the Jock Straps
and nurses who came in 4th and 5th respectively.
Even though the nurses came last, they were the best
cheered and most watched team competing. Good form was shown by

GERMANY FIELD TRIP
This was, by no stretch of the imagination, a success
story. A group of eight students and two professors attempted to set
up a field trip for the third year degree and the second year technician
students to commence on May 1st, 1972 and end on May 17th. In all,
46 people would have enjoyed an experience that few others in their
field have had the chance to.
The trip was to consist of viewing Management logging and research areas in European settings.
The major drawback was raising funds. The federal
government turned us down saying it was too specialized a trip, and
provincial government was willing to give us only a third of what we
asked for.

The Second Annual Symposium was entitled "Forest Policy in Ontario". Three aspects were
discussed, Timber Licencing System, Sustained Yield Policy and Regeneration Policy. Three of the speakers
were from Toronto. Mr. Leo Vidlak, a faculty member, was a speaker under the Regeneration Policy and
later became engaged in some lively discussion. Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, President of the University, spoke on

The Symposium this year discussed "Production Potential and Management of Under Utilized
Species". This evolved through time into primarily a discussion on Poplar. A detailed description of the
proceedings can be seen on the following pages. Many thanks for the excellent press coverage by Messrs.

Attendance has risen from 130 in 1969 to over 200 this year. The Symposium is gaining
recognition in Northern Ontario forestry circles as government and industry employees come from as far as
Cochrane and Blind River to the east, and Kenora and Red Lake to the west. Interest has grown in leaps
and bounds. All chairmen of the Symposium have received many favourable comments from those attending
and especially the speakers who are amazed at the fact that the students run and finance these large
symposiums. Lakehead Forestry is a new school without an established reputation. In the minds of those
who control the hiring of new graduates, student participation is important. Participation in the symposium
is an excellent way to show this interest.
In organizing the symposium, just one person puts out a lot of
his personal time as has been the case for the last two years. We need greater student participation beginning

Mr. Ennis suggested that separate contracts and a piecework

economically better than other
sources of chips. Mr. Ennis concluded his talk by stating that
presently 61% of the wood required in Minnesota is filled by

��THE MAKEUP YEAR
(To be sung
to the tune of
"Casey Jones Steamin and a Rollin")
Come all ye Foresters if you want to hear,
A short story on the makeup year,
From Forest Tech I we advanced with pride,
20 men did and 40 men died.
To theory and books we advanced with greed,
Only to better ourselves, take heed,
The schedule scrambled, the english was rough,
Cause a rose is "Rosa blanda" to a Forester tough.
The course that we took in the Calculus line,
Kept us a-working on overtime,
But with a pretty little Prof - ette explaining all the time,
We discovered the mathematics of a curved line.
Against the wishes of the A. M.S.
We cal-cul-ated the strain and stress,
Of snow for a sculpture that was to be the best,
But somehow it never beat the weather test.
Gone are the days of the field survey.
Looking back at those days they seem like play.
But growing in experience this I know,
That our education won't melt away with the snow.

FORESTRY DEGREE II BROOMBALL
The Forestry Degree II broomball team was plagued by a rather
weird misfortune of too many players showing up for the games.
This
handicap of continuous line shuffle was why we just missed the playoffs.
The final record was 3 wins, U losses and a tie with a determined
Phys. Ed. team who needed a win for a first place finish.
The most
promising line was the scooter line of Aho, Jewiss and MacGillivray.
Lots of relief was supplied by Woods, Lagdzin, Kaczanowski, Sedor,
Stott, Thompson, Thomson, Austin, and Riley.
by Campbell, Nichols, Maki and Mcllquham.
Strong defence was supplied
Holding the fort was Goba.
Most games which we won were after pre-game warmups at the Royalton.

Team II, a first year team, played good hockey all season and were
the only Forestry team to have a good shot at the championship.
The
team played very well as a unit and was assisted by some great defensive
work by Mike DesjalTdins.
The fellow from the east end, Allen Raman,
should be nominated for an academy award for his performance in their
last game of the season.

Forestry III cleared the bench in the last minute and still couldn't
score a goal on Gary "reflex" McKellar who took over for G. Cowman who
retired the pad's halfway through the season to take on an offensive
role on the team.
Leading scorer on Team II was Gord "sticky stick"
LeMaistre, and this season, Dave Ried and Bob Mitchell after four years
in intramural hockey finally got their first goals of their careers.
Team III had steady performances from the goaly, Paul "stingy"
Jewiss and the line of Aho, MacGuillivray and Olson.

Of the four teams presented above only Team I made the playoffs
this year.
After a season of 8 wins, (5 by default) and 1 loss, the
team not having played for seven weeks lost two in a row in the playoffs.
The offensive punch was maintained by the Two Terrible Thompson'
and Paul "the Jew" Jewiss.
Burt Kemp when called upon showed some
startling moves under the basket and some of the "Jocks" were left
standing there without any.
Team II led by Pete "the streak" Copi3, John "Dunker" Marchingtcn
and Dan "Baseline" Readman managed 3 wins and several near misses.
Better luck next year Tech.
Team III the sleeper team came through with several wins at the
start of the season but seemed to fade away towards the end.
This was
the first year team and it looks like they are in for better times
(maybe next year, or the year after, or the year after that... etc.)
Team IV was slapped together with some spirit and hope.
Half way
through the season they ran out of bottled spirits and their hope
disintegrated, so they dropped out of the league.
Despite this they
received steady performances from Ray "Hookshot" Rivard and waiter
"Fats" Palubiski.
Dave Ried had a little trouble dunking, but also
played a steady game.

Jim Flash Myers was the top scorer for Forestry with 15 goals and
15 assists for 30 points.
Jim ended up in third in the scoring race.
Good show guys and better luck next year.
SQUALLEYBALL
Bill Murphy, Roger Brown and G. Cowman were Forestry representatives
in the squalleyball tournament. Squalley ball is something like volleyball only you can play the ball off the walls of a squa3h court. It's
a good fast game, so fast in fact each team only played one game and
the season ended. Forestry won it's only game played so we can claim a
share in the squalleyball championship with three other teams.
SUMMARY
I would like to thank all those fellows sho participated in the
71-72 sports program.
We didn't win much in the way of championships,
but we had a lot of fun doing it.
We can, at least, take consolation
in the fact that we are second to none in spirit and second place
finishes
A special vote of thanks should go out to the coaches and managers
for getting their teams up for most of the games and also for those
ardent few who showed up to the games to cheer their teams on to...
well, cheer them on, anyway.
Next year with a full four year degree program and many stars
returning, the road to a championship for Forestry is nearly at an
end.

P-S. As an added note. At the S.A.S. Dinner dance on Friday March 24,
we were told that we had 47% of the fellows in Forestry out to play
one sport or another throughout the year. As a result we were pre-
sented with the Faculty participation Trophy,

Winter Carnival 1972
Winter Carnival this year as we all know was changed from the
traditional schedule of events.
The Carnival windup ball was dropped
as an end to the festivities and replaced by a bandarama which turned
out to be very popular.
The King Prince, Princess Contest, the Snow
Sculpture and the parade were also dropped as officially sanctioned
A. M.S. functions.
The Prince and Princess contest eventually was picked up and
sponsored by the Geology Club to whom we owe thanks for showing some
spirit.
