It is hoped to di·s courage the needless and unsound practice of ,cutting under-sized, immatrees for the sale of their products. Under-sized bolts or logs are 11ot economical to manufacture in aper mills and sawmills and the producer loses money by cutting small logs from ~hrifty young trees. It is worthwhile for timber lot owners or farmers with some of tteir land· producing trees to learn the tages of good forest management.

P. Hogarth in Red Pine stand ·planted in 1946 �PAGE 2 LOG BOOK STORY OF A TREE FARM sider trying to do something with trees. Her only information was that an uncle of hers, farming in Halton County, had secured trees from the Provincial Government for wind-breaks. My enquiries lead me to the Department of Lands and Forests, Toronto. From there I found that I could secure seedlings from their nursery at Midhurst. During the winter of 1938-39 I read what I could and askd for some red pine, hard maple, white and Norway spruce. I was a rank amateur and therefore did things the hard way. I selected a fairly open area in Parcel "C", well back from sight of passers-by and personally planted the red pine and the hard maple by digging out a piece of sod about 12 inches square and 4 inches deep and then slit spade planted the seedlings. Nearly all the pines caught and about 60% of the maples. Very few of the spruce caught. I watched the growth that first summer with real curiosity and a dream started to develop. I Had A Dream I am a native of this region and I can remember the stands of timber that were in existence around the turn of the century. I also realized that much of our area was fit for nothing but trees. As far as I could learn no one had ever tried to find out what could be done with reforestation . My dream was that I might experiment in a small way. If it was successful I might turn some of my own unproductive land into a long distance asset. Further, if I had any degree of success I might develop something which might convince the farmers of the district that it would be worth while to turn some of their unproductive land into real woodlots something that would enhance the value and in the' future would provide a regular income by timber farming. Parcel 11 C11 In the fall of 1939 I had the stumps removed from a secluded area of about 2 acres in Parcel "C" and had the land ploughed and dragged. In the spring of 1940 I had 1600 red pines planted in rows 6 feet apart, with the trees staggered in alternate rows. They were planted by the slit spade method and then left alone. About 50% of the red pine survived the winter. All of the maples and most of the spruce were winter killed. Animals were kept off the land and I had a fireguard 25 feet wide cleared, ploughed and dragged around this Parcel "C" with its 54 acres. Naturally I had to consider expense and labour costs and I still was trying to find out what could be done. In 1941 I brought in 5,000 white spruce and 500 Norway spruce and after the vegetables were planted I had the spruce seedlings planted by the slit spade method through the sod in scattered areas in the gaps between the natural growth of jack pine in Parcel "C". But this experiment was almost a total failure. It was a very dry season and the seedlings were late in being planted although they had been kept heeled in. I was rather surprised, seven years later, to note that many of these spruce seedlings were now 6 to 12 inches high. Why they could lie dormant so long and then start to grow is beyond my knowledge. Each year since, I find more evidence of young spruce until now there are several hundred ranging from 6 inches to 3 feet in height. Red Pine Planted in 1940 by Dr. Hogart i In December 1947 I used one of the tre in 1940 for a Christmas tree and found that cut off sor:ne of the trunk to get the tree int ing-room where the ceiling height" is 9 feet, Parcel "C" was doing all right.

If there are plenty of potatoes available then the price of potatoes goes down. If potatoes are · scarce then the price goes up. This business principle the law of supply and demand affects pulpwood, lumber, etc., in the same way as everything else. Since the war, prices for pulpwood, lumber, etc., have risen sharply and the demand has been great. However, last year due to a decrease in demand for pulp <the manufactured pulp) and w i th a record cut in 1951-52 largely due to almost perfect weather conditions, pulp and paper mills throughout Canada had large inventories of wood on hand. These inventories are being used up and this has resulted temporarily in a weaker market demand. In the case of lumber, the demand has lessened for similar reasons. When the demand decreases, the lowest cost production localities supply a greater share of this limited market, and the high-cost sources get less. So competition develops, not only between different parts of Canada but among woodlot farmers and others in each area. However, farmers and other private woodlot owners have one great advantage in situations of this kind. Tree crops mature gradually over several years. They do not, as in other farm crops, have to be sold at a set time annu(:)lly, regardless of market conditions. Instead, trees continue to grow for some years even after maturity, thus permitting a woodlot owner some choice as to when and how he wi 11 sel I. The long-term outlook for all forest products is very good here. Effort, started now to develop woodlots, is bound to pay off in future years. This is true for all commercial trees growing here, -including poplar and birch. FOREST MANAGEMENT DISCOVERED ON A PRIVATELY OWNED WOODLOT IN THE LAKEHEAD AREA There are some woodlot owners in the Lakehead area who are practising Forest culture and Forest Management on their woodlots. One example of this is Carl Sandberg. Carl lives on Lot 59, Concession B, Dawson Road, and owns the adjoining Lot 36, Concession I. He has owned the latter lot since 1938 and the former one since 1932. Both lots (approximately 150 acres) w e r e wel I timbered at the ti me he obtained them from the Crown. He has cut an average equivalent of 75 to l 00 cords per year from these lots and he asserts that there is more merchantable wood on them now than when he acquired them. A short trip through the property with Carl will quickly convince a critical observer that Carl is practising good forest management dn his woodlot. He cuts only the mature and over-mature trees and does not strip any area. He takes care to not damage the young growth. He has also done a considera_bel amount of pruning and thinning in the immature timber. He is aware that certain spots are more suitable for a different species than is now growing there and is trying to promote suitable stocking on such spots. Carl is convinced that Silviculture on an individual woodlot is good business; he is practising good Forest Management for his own benefit .. �LOG BOOK PAGE 4 HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT GETTING TREES ? The Forestry Act of 1952 and regulations made under this Act outline the steps to take in getting trees from the Department of Lands and Forests. Nursery stock may be secured for: (a) establishing a wood or shelter belt. (b) for enlarging a wood or shelter belt. (c) for replenishing a wood or shelter belt.

STORY OF A TREE FARM (Continued from Page 2) I do not know just how much influence my visit had, but in 1946 the Department of Lands and Forests purchased property across the Rosslyn Road from mine and established the Thunder Bay Nursery for Northwestern Ontar.io. Incidentally the co-operation extended by the Department is a wonderful help.

My Experience First, if anyone is starting a new plantati plenishing a woodlot he should get expert pra vice on what and how to plant. The method of planting is important. If has been cultivated, a single furrow and sl planting is satisfactory. If the land has bee cultivated the slit spade method alone is suffj sod, i' have found the best results are from and disGqrding about a square foot of sod and spade •p_lanting. On my particular soi I I have found tha grows well, the white spruce fairly well. Ja outgrow the spruce as proven by a few oft into my spruce plot on their own. Norway larch, black locust, Carolina poplar and have all been failures; a poor catch, then wi I have found this work, now 14 yea inception, to have been very fascinating as which has given me a great deal of healt recreation as I have planted many thousa seedlings myself. I am satisfied that with very little e and practically no expense in money that a farm can very quickly convert the p uctive portion of his property into a reve asset for the future. It can be done a planting is over and I have found that virgin soil and plant 50-60 seedlings in up to l 00 in prepared soil or ploughed cost of the seedlings is negligible. -Reprinted from "Forest - ·- - - 0 - - Smart young man seeing a very ol a tree.

Mr. D. A. Clark made the presentation on behalf of the group. Mr. George MacAdam, Forest Fire Specialist, Geraldton District, Deparatment of Lands and Forests, and Mr. H. Ken Campbell of the Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited were presented with certificates for their part in making the fi Im "Fighting Forest Fi res in Northwestern Ontario." The certificates were presented by Mr. J. F. Sharpe, Chief, Division of Timber Management, Department of Lands and Forests, Toronto, on behalf of the Hon. Welland S-. Gemmell, Minister of Lands and Forests, who was confined to hospital. Name of Association To Be Changed Effective January 1, 1954, the name of the Thunder Bay Timber Operators' Association is to be changed to the NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO TIMBER OPERATORS' ASSOCIATION. The original name was adopted during war time when Thunder Bay was a region of the War Labour Board. At the end of the war and since that time, many companies from other parts of Northwestern Ontario have joined the Association and today the Association represents operators in the area from the Algoma Central Railway west to the Manitoba boundary. Accordingly, the meeting went on record that the name be changed. Where Do Raw Products Go? Of the forest products produced in Northwestern Ontario, the majority are processed to some degree in Northwestern Ontario. The majority of poles go to Hydro or to the telephone companies and are generally treated in Northwestern Ontario. The mining timber produced goes to local mines, the ties to the railways and the logs for lumber are generally sawn in the vicinity where they are cut. In Northwestern Ontario, there are approximately 372 sawmills; 252 of less than 5,000 f. b. m. per day capacity; 89 from 5,000 to 30,000 f. b. m. per day capacity; and 31 over 30,000 f. b. m. per day capacity. There are in Northwestern Ontario 11 pulp and paper mills: one at Marathon, one at Terrace Bay, one at Nipigon, one at Red Rock, 2 in Fort William, 2 in Port Arthur, one at Dryden, one at Kenora and one at Fort Franees. These mills employ approximately. 5,000 employees. �PAGE 4 LOG BOOK Sprnee - Fir Wind Loss By G. K. Seed The spruce - fir forests are of major commercial importance as a source of raw material for the pulp and paper and the lumber industries. The principal species are white spruce, black spruce and balsam fir. A common silvical feature to each is a shallow rooting habit. Both spruce and fir are generally considered very susceptible to windthrow. In addition, balsam fir is susceptible to butt rot making it especially subject to windbreakage. Forest management (the operation of a biological resource at a profit) may be divided into three types-protective management, extensive m~nagement ~ !'1 d intensive management. The former 1s the prevailing practice in Canada today. The commercially desireable species are clear cut. The forest is ~rotected fr<:>m fire insects and disease as much as possible at a mtnimu'm expenditure. Extensive management goes somewhat further in that clear cutting is replaced by partial cutting. It is the in-between phase from protective management to intensive management. Intensive management probably will not be practi_ced until ~me f~II riotation has passed. At that time timber holdings will be reduced in size so that the area will supply only the needs of the mill concerned. Utilization of wood may be more for its chemical properties than for its physical. properties. The logging and th~ cu_tting system will vary with each forest stand and will give the maximum capitalized value for each area. At this time Canadian forest management is progressing into the extensive type .. Forn:is of partial cutting to insure natural regeneration will become more and more common. The opening up of stands will subject the residual trees more than ever _to the force of the wind. Man cannot control the wind but he can control the type of cutting on the various sites and the size and volume per acre of residual trees. Accordingly a study was conducted adjacent to t~e. ~ed Lak~ Highway to determine th~ ex\ent and v~na?il1ty of wind loss to residual spruce and fir and to indicate the characteristics of individual trees, stands or sites correlated with wind loss. Thirty six one-fifth acre plots were located in spruce-fir stands that had been cut over from one to seven years. From 13 to 77% of the original stand remained after cutting. Disregarding wind velocity and the characteristics of individual trees, the following factors may affect the amount of wind loss: the density of the original stand, rthe amount cut, the amount of spruce and fir in the residual stand, the uniformity of cutting in the surrounding area, the time since cutting, the topographic location and edaphic conditions. The relationship of wind loss to any one factor may be confounded by others and a great many plots would be necessary to take 'v arious combinations of factors i n to consideration. Nevertheless, the results expressed as an average with a measure of deviation or as a specific trend give some indication of what is happening to the residual spruce and fir. The study indicated that the amount of wind loss of residual spruce and fir increased with time but that the rate of loss declined markedly after more than two 's ummer seasons of exposure. Future studies should be carried out in stands with three or more seasons of exposure. The average wind loss was 20 per cent of the idual spruce and fir basal area with a standard d ion of 17 per cent. On the upland the average was 26 per cent and on the lowland l 8 per cent standard deviations of 24 and 12 per cent respect, The difference is not statistically significant. Approximately one-half of the fir and one-q of the spruce wind loss was due to breakage which erally occurred in trees weakened by rot. On the upland, w'indthrown trees usually h sided root systems caused by rock obstructing r velopment. On lowlands, the deeper, finer t soi Is appeared to offer poor mechanical stability ially when wet. The amount of wind loss of both was found to be related to the height of tre percentage of wind loss increased in trees fr about 45 feet, declined in trees from 45 to and thereafter increased rapidly. The relation loss to height contain~ both an age and a suppression relationship. The smaller sized t less than 40 years old and were free of rot. In they were protected by larger trees. Trees fr 45 feet tall were about 80 years old and were ed and intermediate trees. Many of these lfected with rot. Their root syshems were p oped. They were very susceptible to windt windbreakage. Trees from 45 to 55 feet were codominant and dominant trees. Their terns were well developed and the number fected trees was small. They were best su· sist windthrow and breakage. Trees great feet in height were mostly over 80 years of decrepit condition made them highly sus wind loss. The amount of wind loss in each di of residual spruce and fir varied. For tre ches and under the average loss was less cent compared to approximately 30 per ce trees. In conclusion it appears that residual fir cannot be completely relied upon t? f cuts. The relationship to height ind1c~t partial cutting system is introduced, cutti done from below and the windfirm c -'dominant trees left.

M. fisher You may have read that a forestry library has gotten underway in Port Arthur and wondered: how, why and where? The recognition of the need and the request for a library came from a group of foresters in the Thundei Bay area. They felt that long-term planning and a wellinformed woods industry must depend to a large extent on printed material. The nearest adequate forestry libraries are in Ottawa and Toronto - too far away to do this area much good. The foresters, headed by N. F. Lyon, Department of Lands and Forests; J . H. Godden, Great Lakes Paper Company Limited; Ken Hearnden, Abitibi; H. 0. Kantola, Newaygo; and G. R. Sonley, Marathon; sought and received the co-operation of the provincial government. The Research Council of Ontario, directed by J. 0. Wilhelm, entered the picture, much as it did in the Heron Bay project. Professor Wilhelm arranged for an annual grant of $5,000 from Research Counci I funds. This grant is to run for five years. The Department of Education offered the use of the library at their Lakehead Technical Institute with the understanding that the librarian appointed would also look after their collection . The Department of Lands and Forests, through R. N. Johnston, Head of Research, undertook to hire the librarian and to counsel the project. The Institute owns a small nucleus of half-a-hundred books on forestry and allied fields. This is used for the two-year technical course in forestry. On this base is being built a library which, simply stated, will have three objectives. It wi 11 be ( l) a general forestry library of interest and use to anyone in the forest field from camp cookee to company president, and to the general public; (2) a collection of books, reports, and magazines covering specialized fields of forestry in enough detail to enable foresters to follow up research methods and data on matters such as seeding, planting, increment and photographic surveys, sustained yield, etc.; (3) a collecting and central agency for the results of research carried out in Northwestern Ontario. It takes a long time to build up a library. By next spring we hope to have ready and in use several hundred recent books, about a thousand pamphlets and re-ports from government a n d association sources, a n d files of twenty-five or thirty magazines. A committee of four has been appointed to select material for the library. They are George Sonley, Marathon; John Campbell, forestry master at the Institute; Frank Lyon of the Depart~ent of Lands and Forests; and the Iibrarian . The toughest problem ahead is to see that library is widely used. How to make material avail to men in the bush ? How to let them know what have, First, we are prepared to mail to interested p of the area,books, pamphlets or magazines frorn stock for loan periods varying from two weeks t month.

The Ontario Pulp & Paper Makers' Safety Association, Northwestern Ontario Woods Branch held its Fall Field Meeting at the St. Lawrence Corporation headquarters in Beardmore, Ontario. A visit to the cutting operations at St. Lawrence Camp No. 93 to observe cutters in action and to discuss any unsafe practices seen during the visit was unfortunately rained out and the morning occupied by discussion on safety codes. The safety film that is being made by the Association "Safe Cutting and Piling" is nearing completion and the first run of this film was shown to those present. The first draft of the commentary was read and after some amendments, was accepted. Mr. Ken Campbell of the Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited spoke on "Visual Aids in Safety Training" and Mr. Bert Rushton, Visual Education Director, with the Lumbermen's Safety Association, outlined the Lumbermen's Safety Association's p I a n s for movies, posters and other visual training aids.

Sowers, Jr.; Research Forester; Wood Dept., West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company, Hancock, M.D. Thomas Thompson, Logging Foreman, Tomahawk Timber Company, Ely, Minnesota. There were over 12,000 registrations at this Congress which covers safety in every industrial line. Manufacturers' displays of the latest equipment were very interesting and the subject of safety received considerable "going over". • HOW Visual aids are tools - they cannot to do a job alone, they must be used in conj a specific program.

Needless to sa a man who is tired and uncomfortable is more likel to be more subject to an accident and we, therefore, recommend the above idea in the interest of acciden •prevention. VISUAL AIDS IN SAFETY TRAINING (Continued from Page l 0) HOW MUCH Visual aids, like most other tools and devices are less costly per unit when a number of units are produced. Posters, for example, require an artist to draw them whether a hundred or a thousand copies are required. Similarly, a motion picture has a set production cost no matter how many prints are finally made. To reduce the cost of visual aids, some measure of co-operation would enable several operations to use the same or duplicate units. Even commercial processors are inclined to give good rates when a volume of work is assured. SO WHAT Everyone uses visual aids to a greater or lesser degree. The best use of these important tools is handicapped to some extent by the lack of familiarity with their use. All employees are now conditioned to looking at pictures - we could use this conditioning to effectly help in selling safe working practices.

On ceilings the space should all sides for increased cooling effect. FIRE PROTECTION Any lumber camp is under a continual threat of fire because of the nature of the construction and surroundings. All fires are small in their beginning and can be controlled if dealt with soon enough with the appropriate equipment. For general fire extinguishing purposes water and chemical solutions in water are the most effective and most convenient. Special chemical extinguishants are necessary to deal with special hazards for which water is not suitable, such as fires involving live electrical equipment, grease and flammable liquids. In certain bush conditions a spade may be as effective as anything. Fire depends upon a combination of three things, - a burnable fuel, a supply of oxygen (air) and heat. Remove one of them and a fire cannot occur or continue. Fires may be extinguished in three ways: (a) by cooling the material below the ignition temperature, (b) by shutting off the amount of oxygen necessary to support combustion and (c) remove the fuel, or by a combination of these methods. Water and soda-acid solutions are effective chiefly because of their cooling properties, the heat being used up in transforming the water into steam and gases. Foam solutions act much like water on ordinary fires and on oil fires the foam floats, forming a mat over the burning surface and smothering the fire. Vaporizing liquids, such as carbon tetrachloride and chlorobromomethane, have some cooling effect but their principle value lies in the dense non-flammable vapors and gases which displace the surrounding air to a point where the fire is smothered for lack of oxygen. Carbon dioxide gas is non-combustible and smothers fire (Continued on Page 19) THE LAKEHEAD'S MOST COMPLETE WELDING SUPPLY STOCK e Represent the Two Leaders in ·the Welding Industry. . Electric Co.

Because of its geographical size, the necessity to either battle or use the weather and other factors, supervision is much more difficult than in other industries. This industry is directed by men who know their jobs: foresters, technicians, and men of experience. Here is a Directory of Key Personnel in the woods industry in Northwestern Ontario.

Young Foremen and strip bosses often wonder why definite logging chances are laid out, and why cutting has to be confined to the approved chances. There are a great many reasons, some due to Government regulations, and some due to Company policy. A few of the more important reasons will be discussed briefly. First, let us have a quick look at a few of the sections of The Crown Timber Act of the Province of Ontario. All operators in Ontario who cut on Crown Lands must abide by the rules laid down by the Act, or pay the penalties, or even have their cutting rights cancelled. Section 12 of the Crown Timber Act, 1952, reads as follows: "No licensee shall commence cutting oper• ations in any year until the Minister has approved ir. writing the area in which the cutting operations are to be carried on in that year". Section 23-(1) reads as follows: "Every licensee shall furnish to the Minister at least sixty days before cutting operations commence in each year, but not later than the 15th day of June, an annual plan for the cutting operations to be conducted by him during the twelve month period commencing on the first day of April in that year". Section 23 -(3) reads "Cutting operations in each year sha 11 be conducted in accordance with the approved annual plan". Section 46-(1) reads as follows: "Every person who commences cutting operations without the approval of the Minister under Section 12 or who carries on any cutting operations beyond the limits of the area approved by the Minister under Section 12 shall be Iiable to a penalty of not less than twice and not more than five times the amount of the Crown charges on the timber so cut". In accordance with the regulations, logging chances are laid out for each camp, estimates of the kind and quantity of timber on the ground are compiled, and the maps and other information is submitted to the Department of Lands and Forests. This data is examined by the staff of the Department, and the areas are approved, the necessary permits are made out and forwarded by the Department to the operator, who cannot start cutting until the permits are received, and he must cut only on the areas that have been examined and approved. Wood from one camp may be more expensive wood from another camp or wood from one part of area to be cut from a camp may be more exp than wood from another part of the same camp's ting area. It is poor business to cut all cheap Wood year and all expensive wood another year, so to the cost of wood going to the mill each year fairly form, it is usually Company policy to lay out the so that high cost wood from one camp is cut same time that cheaper wood is being cut from a camp. Most companies make more or less detaile mates as to what the wood is going to cost, befo ting starts. After the job is completed, actua are compared to the estimates. If a different a cut than was estimated, then comparisons of the end of the season will not be possible. A timber cruise is usually made to esti amount of standing timber. Occasionally th may be made several years before the wood is c ter the wood is cut, a comparison is made bet amount of timber estimated and the amount cut. If cutting was not confined to the loggin as it was laid out, accurate comparisons c . made, and errors in the cruise cannot be cor These a re a few of the reasons why defi ing chances have to be laid out, and why c to be confined to the approved logging chan One of a series of articles by mem Northwestern Ontario Section, Canadian Institute of Forestry. West Gate Packers Limit • NORTHWESTERN ONLY INDEPENDENTLY OPE MEAT From the Company angle, there are many reasons why definite logging chances are necessary. Most companies have spent considerable time and money drawing up detailed plans ' of operations, including the areas to be cut, for several years in advance. Such plans are necessary in order to develop the most efficient and economical plan for roads, river improvements and camp layouts. The amounts and species of wood to be delivered each year must also be considered. Sometimes a foreman or walking boss may not fully understand the plans, and may decide to make a change, that he thinks is an improvement. Sometimes he may be right, but more likely he will be wrong, as he may have overlooked some very important point, and if he changes the plan it may cost his Company a lot more money in the long run.

Observance of the following practices will almost eliminate the probability of outbreaks of fire: (a) Put pipe ashes, cigarette butts and bunrt matches in incombustible receptacles provided for the purpose. (b) Never discard a match, cigarette or cigar or empty a pipe where a coal or spark could possibly set a fire. (c) Set camp fires on mineral soil and be sure they are out before leaving · them unattended. (d) Do not leave grease unattended on a hot range or stove and keep suitable fire extinguishing equipment conveniently at hand. (e) Keep supplies of oil and other flammable liquids in a separate storage used for no other purpose and well removed from the other buildings. • (f) Do not smoke in bed or when there is any danger of falling asleep. (h) Remove ashes and coals from heating equipment to a safe pit made for the purpose. (g) When disposing of cigarette butts and other smoking materials, do not mix them with sweepings or other refuse. (i) Do not leave greasy or oily rags and waste lying around where they can heat spontaneously. Either spread them out to the air or keep them in a tightly closed metal container, unless they are burned or buried immediately after being used. (j) Re-fuel oil lamps outside and in daylight hours only. (k) Do not handle or transfer gasoline inside a building and avoid all possibility of its vapors coming in contact with the slightest flame or spark. Do not smoke in the presence of gasoline vapors or near where the liquid is being exposed to the atmosphere. Most fires start from failure on the part of someone to observe the precautions that are listed above. Other precautions will suggest themselves from day to day of those who make a practice of "thinking" safety. If everyone accepts his share of the general responsibility there will be little likelihood of being called ori to fight a fire, with all the risks that are involved. Seruices of the Community Programmes Branch It has been said:"What we do with our working hours determines what we have, What we do with our leisure time determines what we are." No matter what the work, it had to be learned. rrhis may have taken years and there may be much to learn yet but nevertheless we learned our job. We didn't inherit our skills, they weren't given to us, we learned them. This we easily recognize, but we not always recognize that we, too, have to learn how to use our spare time. The person who night after night finds himself with nothng to do; no place to go; who complains that the "place is dead" is probably one who has never learned how to use his spare time. Likewise, the person who has always something to do, is interested in a whole host of things, who is up and doing, who comlains that there is "too much going on" is one who has learned how to use his spare time.

We are again indebted to these companies for tending this privilege to us . _ By C. J. Campbell To start the 1953-54 session i n th e Lakehead Technical Institute Technical Forestry course seven students enrolled in first year and four in the second year. In addition to those enrolled in the Technical Forestry course there is one student taking University Forestry and one student taking Forest Engineering. It is interesting to note that of the seven students in first year Technical Forestry, just one man is from Northern Ontario. Six of the men have come to us from Southern and Central Ontario. Although it is encouraging to learn that our course has gained wide recognition it is not attracting enough local men. The field training for these men is following much the same pattern as in the past. During the last two w.eeks in September and the first week of October, the students were given field instruction in cruising, cutting wood, and improvement cutting on the LT. I. Forest Area. As the students take a great interest in this type of training and appear to benefit from it very much, we are anxious to develop faci Ii ties that wi II enable us to expand this phase of training. In the interval October 6 to October 23 inclusive • the four second year men attended the pulpwood and sawlog scaling course conducted by the Department of Lands and Forests. These men inform me that is was . an excellent course. They feel that it was entirely worthwhile and commented on the high quality of instruction. On behalf of the Technical Foresters I wish to thank those men with the Department of Lands and Forests for including us in the course. Next week Mr. J. W. Haggerty; Mr. D. M.

Wallace, Forest Insect Laboratory t present the spruce budworm outbreak in the Lookout, Kenora and Fort Frances districts is the ajor infestation of this insect in Ontario. Since e area affected has increased sharply. This rems up conditions as of the close of the 1953 ason. 195 l a number of separate infestations occurhe largest, the Lac Seul infestation, covered a mewhat rectangular area with Eagle Lake in the istrict, Cabin Lake, Sunlight Lake east of Macay on Lac Seul, and the north end of Little Lake defining the general boundaries. The f this infestation in the Kenora District repa significant southwestern extension. Patches m infestation occurred southeast of Dryden ted a southeastern extension of the Lac Seul of the northeastern corner of the Lac Seul a number of irregular heavy infestations d. These are referred to elsewhere in this WESTERN report as the Patricia Portion infestation. Also, several small intense infestations occurred around Sioux Lookout and Hudson. In the Kenora District the relatively new Lake of the Woods infestait ion increased in 195 l to the southwest, changing from a narrow band between Sioux Narrows and Kenora to a roughly rectangular area bounded by Kenora, Glass Township, Split Rock Island south of the Aulneau Peninscla, and Devonshire Township. In 195 l heavy mortality of host trees, particularly balsam fir, was mapped in the area between the English/ River and Lac Seul. In 1952, the Lac Seul, Patricia Portion, Sioux Lookout-Hudson, and Lake of the Woods infestations merged and spread southeastward. The total area of medium to heavy infestation was about triple that mapped in 1951. The area of tree mortality also increased about threefold and was extended as a narrow arm southeastward along the Sioux Lookout- Kenora boundary . The boundaries of budworm infestation changed but slightly in 1953, (Figure l ). Some southward extension occurred so that a very small portion of the infestation was in the Fort Frances District. The increase in area over 1952 was about fifteen hundred square miles (Table l). FOREST (Continued on the Following Page) REGION FOREST DISTRICTS 1. Sioux Lookout 2. kcnora 3.

LIMITED MACHINES -:- Ontario MECHANIZED ING SPECIALISTS PAGE 25 �PAGE 26 LOG BOOK NYLON -- THE TIRE OF THE FUTURE TUBELESS TRUCK TIRE FORECAST Material for this article was taken from a paper delivered by J . J. Robson, Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., at a meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers in Vancouver. Some ten years ago ti res were prone to a great number of premature failures heat breaks, separations, tread cracks, flex breaks and other failures. To- . day it is an unusual thing when a tire goes out of service because of any of these conditions which used to take such a heavy tol I. This improved tire has come in the last four or five years. Tire manufacturers do not claim thaat no trucker ever has ti re trouble these days and that al I the problems have been solved. An occasional failure still bccurs. The tire manufacturer is out to develop new and better materials. Some of these materials, or at least their prototypes, are already here. New carbon blacks represent one of the big interests in the materials field. It is carbon black which gives rubber its strength, toughness and wear resistance. The .role of carbon blacks has become even more prominent in the vast few years and a great amount of research, using new tools such as the electron microscope, has enabled manufacturers of this material to produce new blacks that give up to 15% greater wear. This research is continuing at an accelerated rate and already new extremely fine particle blacks, sometimes known as super-abrasion blacks, are coming into production with promise of another big lift in tread life. Nylon has many of the properties that it wi 11 be likely to find in the tire cord of the future. Nylon tires can be made stronger and still be thinner and cooler. Nylon has another plus-it is water resistant -where rayon is susceptible to water deterioration at a cut in the tire. Nylon presents two problems - it grows more in service, and the price of the basic cord is very high at present. Many truckers are trying Nylon to determine whether these tires justify the extra cost. At present, Nylon is a specialty cord for premium tires. Good experience on the part of truckers and a lower price for the basic cord would greatly improve its application and assure Nylon of a big place in the future ti re picture. New design and constructions offer some interesting possibilities for our tire of tomorrow. A tubeless truck tire is an example of one of the things which may materialize. Such a tire would have the advantages of lighter weight, elimination of tube and flap - frequent causes of trouble - a measure of puncture protection when the tire picks up a nail, and the abi Iity to mount and demount very easily. A number of tire manufacturers are working on tubeless truck tire applications and while the subject has not reached the point of standardization by the industry, it is probable the tubeless truck ti re wi II become a reality. One development in the tire industry has been the tremendously expanded use of what might be cal led the extra-large tire - the off-highway family. Prior to the war, these extra-large tires - size 16.00 and up - were confined to relatively slow moving earth hauling equipment-. All this is changed and the extra-large tire is now in transportation service where these big tires have revolutionized material movement by making possible bigger, faster units. A good example is a truck used on the Range in Minnesota. Before the war, 15-ton t with 14.00-25 tires were used. Today, 35-ton with size 16.00 and 18.00 tires are standard and 5 trucks have been produced in some quantity. At ations like Garrison Dam, a 40-ton unit with size -33 tires was successfully employed at speeds of 45 mph. Some pioneering along these lines has done here in B.C. on 16.00 tires on logging opera This all suggests that if we consult our ball we will find some very interesting uses for tire. A few examples already built substantiat prediction. One of these is the famous Bare, using 36 tires. Another is the special dozer where the largest tire, 48x68, is being tried.

PROJECT RC-17 This research program sponsored by the Ontario Paper Company and the Abitibi Power and Paper Company, the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, the Research Council of Ontario, Faculty of Forestry Uni• versity of Toronto, Forestry Branch of the Federal De• partment of Resources and Development and the Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada, has been wide• ly reported in the press and in the BUSH NEWS. The purpose of the immediate program part of a long range, long term plan - is to increase and create conditions which favour the natural reproduction of spruce on the mixed wood slopes of the Lakehead region. This project is taking place on the limits of the Ontario Paper Company at Heron Bay. SUCCESSFUL WOODS COMPANY PICNICS HELD The Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited held a very successful employees' picnic at Caramat and Stevens under the auspices of the Recreation Association. In August, the LongLac Pulp and Paper Company held their Second Annual Employees' Day, Dance and Picnic and both events were very successful. There were two interesting highlights at the LongLac picr:ic. The log sawing contest was followed by the crowd with interest with Roland Beaulieu emerging winner with the best average time for three cuts. The following statement should be carefully noted by all Supervisory Personnel interested in Forest Pro• tection - and this includes all supervisory personnel. "Spectators were kept on the move during fire hose laying contests in which crews from various camps went through the procedure of laying a defined length of fire hose and watering down the hose line area during the process and finally filling large barrels set up on the recreation field. The crew from Camp 47 were undisputed winners in this event." Editor's Note - One way to practice fire crews and arouse interest of all concerned. If a company picnic or other event is held, it is an excellent place for the boys that have to put the time in training to fight forest fires to show the r~sults of this training.

Humphreys The principle of the regeneration programme is that the cut-over land must be reforested to a new crop of desireable species. To attain this objective,, LongLac Pulp and Paper Company have, during the past 3 years, planted more than 9,000,000 spruce and pine seedlings, scattered cone-bearing jack-pine· branches over more than 2,000 acres of cut-over, conducted extensive research in artificiai and natural regeneration, laid out seed blocks, scuffled before logging and always emphasized the protection of advanced growth during logging operations. Last but not least, a course on Conservation has~ b e e n given to LongLac school children, to prepare the citizens of tomorrow. The future programme, will be considerably greater. Beginning in 1953, 1,000,000 seedlings will be planted annually and about 3,000 acres will be brushed, as well as .the continuation of the other methods. In 1955, the LongLac nursery will produce its first 2-2 spruce stock at the rate of 1,000,000 seedlings per year. Research will be continued and extended to improve upon the present artificial methods. N e w methods and tools for planting will be introduced, as well as new systems of organization. It becomes necessary to employ artificial means when nature fails to do the job for us. Nature fails because one or more of the following conditions are absent: ( 1) Suitable seed bed (2) Seed or source of seed (3) Desireable species. Suitable seed bed and seed must be present to produce a new timber crop. It is often the absence of these two conditions that causes failure. It is usually these two conditions which govern the artificial method to be employed. Site controls the species but seed and seed bed control method. Where seed is present and seed bed lacking, whether it be duff, moisture, heat, shade, plant competition or any other factor, it becomes a problem of producing a suitable seed bed. Conversely, if the seed bed is suitable and seed is lacking, it becomes a problem of establishing the seed. These simple facts can be verified by examining a cut-over and noting the increasing number of natural seedlings within seeding distance of the surrounding timber, where seed must obviously be present in a suitable seed bed. In drafting the regeneration programme for the years to come, it is essential to know how much and what species of natural stocking will be present in fivEL te.n, fifteen or more years after logging. A regenera•• tion cruise supplies this information, so that over a period of years a pattern can be found which will indicate the type and quantity of artificial aid that will be required for a given site and forest cover type. Most of the highland cut-overs on the LongLac limit, that result from past logging operations that have not stressed regeneration as it is stressed today, have not reproduced satisfactorily to desireable species. Natural regeneration of these areas is being supplemented by planting and brush scattering. Since this work will eventually be required on all future highland sites, why not do it as soon as possibfe after the logging .operation? In the practice of Forestry, artificial and natural regeneration becomes part of the logging plan artificial means will be known before logging. ation begins. For instance, w he re poplar is I from a site which would support spruce, a more able species, it is necessary to plant 2-2 spr soon as possible after the haul, in order to e spruce on that site.

This is part of the occupational therapy treatment for which the Centre is so famous. In the wake of Canada's industrial revolution, with its ever-increasing mechanization, production and labour force, a pool of injured and handicapped workmen is inevitably created despite improved safety and accident prevention measures. Approximately l O per cent of all medical aid and compensable cases representing all industries in Ontario reported to the Workmen's Compensation Board in 1952 were injured on the job in the woodland industries. In 1947, the Board established a Rehabilitation Centre at Malton, 15 miles west of Toronto. It has proved to be the Province's answer to the problem of how to lessen time lost and disability arising from injuries to workmen injured on the job. Of the 3,900 patients admitted to the Rehabilitation Centre in 1952, many were employees of woods operations. As a result, Northwestern Ontario names like: Heron Bay, Marathon, Ogaki Lake, Port Arthur, Longlac and Fort William; Fort Frances, Kenora and Dryden are familiar to the staff at this unique treatment centre. Before 1947, the centre was operated as an active treatment hospital by the Department of Veterans' Affairs. Prior to that it was an aircrew training station operated by the RCAF. Today, it has an international reputation as a model physical medicine treatment centre. This is borne out by the many groups who travel from all over the world each year to study its operation. Patients are referred to the centre by their attending physicians or surgeons for medical treatment. Ambulance service is maintained for patients from active hospitals in Toronto and neighboring towns. For those coming from outlying districts, rail transportation is arranged by the Board. Occasionally, when necessary, injured ~orkmen from remote parts of the Province have been flown by the Board to areas where the required treatment is available. During the necessary treatment time, patients live in. There is accommodation for 191 hospital patients and 327 ambulant clinic patients who do not further hospital nursing care. These 518 injur men receive their full treatment and maintenan the normal benefits to which they are entitled 'the Workmen's Compensat_ion Act, without c 0 them.

Held at the farm woodlot of G. Sonley on the Onion Lake Road, Gorham Township, the meeting attracted some 27 foresters and guests, including representatives of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, Department of Educc:-tion, Department of Lands and Forests, Ontario Hydro, and of local industries. Mr. Robert Young, Chairman of the Northwestern Ontario Section of the Canadian Institute of Forestry, was in charge of the programme, which • included an inspection of the property during the afternoon, and. in the evening a round-table discussion of problems relating to the management of a farm woodlot and the marketing of its products-. Mr. R. J. Prettie, of Northern Wood Preservers, led off the evening session with an informal talk on the markets available locally to the owner of a farm woodlot. He prefaced his remarks with the observation that a farm woodlot, carefully managed, can be a good investment for the future while supplying income for the present- somewhat akin to a bond from which a coupon can be clipped periodically. Markets, he pointed out, determine the products for which the woodlot can be managed. Each has definite specifications as to the species, size and other physical features which it will accept. These must be met if the market is to be entered. Prices paid for woodlot products are the result of two forces, he stated. Indirectly, they are dependent .on the prices prevailing for the finished product in its mqjor marketing area. More directly, they are dependent on competition from buyers at the local level. For some products, e.g., sawlogs, the competition is between buyers of the same class of material. For all prnducts there is the competition between different classes of material; for example, between poles and lumber or ties and pulpwood. Here at the Lakehead competition is generally strong and no one buyer has a fe·~'I monopoly. The aim of both the buyer of woodlot products and the woodlot owner must be to create a ready and steady market free of violent fluctuations in demand or supply, or in price. Only in this way can the. concept of the forest as a bond be maintained. Some of the problems faced by a woodlot owner were pointed by Mr. Sonley, both during the afternoon field trip and at the evening discussion. These included such varied problems as Christmas tree vandalism, whereby trees 6 - 7 inches in diameter and 30 - 50 feet tal I were cut down to get a 5-foot tree from the top; animal grazing, and choice of species to plant. The question of "what have you got?" raised the problem of a forest inventory to determine how much should be removed periodically to keep the forest growing at its fastest rate. · The nature of the soil determined the species of trees which should be favoured in the present stand or planted in any programme of reforestation. Where more than one species is suitable, the choice wi 11 rest on the type of market the owner wishes to enter. Some rapid growing species will yield more cellulose per acre per year, and hence would be favoured if pulpwood was the end product sought. Others will have high value as poles or piling, and still others have multiple uses. • Mr. Norman Harrison, Agricultural Representat- ive for this area, co·n sidered the interdependenc riculture and forestry. He noted an increasing on the part of farmers ' in the financial and ot efits from farm woodlots and shelterbelts an foresters to help farm organizations to answ lems related to farm woodlot management. some hints on steps to improve poor soils production. Increasing the em p has i s on conservat woodlot management in the schools was co Mr. Steele, Public School Inspector for the Por area, noted that this was a relatively new thin yet not too well defined. He pointed out t River and O'Connor school projects of the Institute of Forestry as possible indications of proceed.

The infestations east of the town of Nipigon in the Port Arthur District and north of Pays Plat in the Geraldton District merged to form a medium to heavy infestation from Rossport north to tne Gravel River and west to Nipigon. The current year's growth of both white spruce and balsam fir were defoliated. Light infestation of spruce budworm occurred from Sibley Peninsula in roughly a 10-mile band along Black Bay to the town of Nipigon and north into Ledger Township. In the Kapuskasing District, preliminary mapping of the infestation centered in Rogers and Studholme townships showed extension at least to the north and west of the boundaries mapped in 1952. The heaviest feeding was observed on white spruce. In the Cochrane District, the -spruce budworm infestation south of Smooth Rock Falls increased both in size and in intensity. Medium to heavy infestation persisted from Haggart Township south to Kirkland Township on surviving mature balsam-fir and on balsam-ti r reproduction. The light infestation in woodlots south of Pembroke in the Pembroke District and the small infestation in Charlotteville Township in the Lake Erie District reported in 1952 showed marked declines. ce Budwo,m (Choristoneura fumiferana) e"heral, spruce budworm infestations in Northrio in l 9 5 3 maintained a level of intensity or exceeding that of 1952, and showed varying f extension. approximate boundaries of the Kenora-Sioux nfestation now extend from west of Red Lake north of Trout Lake to Birch Lake, southeastturgeon and Sowden Lakes, thence west to Lake and Big Island in Lake of the Woods through Oneman Lake.

Port Arthur District, heavy infestation persam fir on Sibley and Black Bay peninsulas. Larch Sawfly (Pristiphora erichsonii) This sawfly continued to cause serious defoliation in the Western and Mid-western forest regions and in the Kapuskasing District in 1953. At this early date, almost complete defoliation of larch trees has been reported in some areas. Preliminary reports also reveal an increased abundance of larch sawfly in most other forest districts in Northern Ontario in 1953. Genuine FORD RTS ACCESSORIES • and in the Long Run!"

Fort Frances, on Tuesday, July 21st, 1953 for a meeting sponsored by the Lumbermen's Safety Association. The chairman was Mr. John Styffe of Oscar Styffe Limited, Port Arthur, and the meeting was attended by some 47 members. Dr. W. S. Barnhart of Ottawa, secretary-manager o f th e Lumbermen's Safety Association; Mr. D. C. George, Chief Field Representative of the L_umbermen's Safety Association; and Mr. G. R. Potts, Field Representative, Northwestern District, Lumbermen's Safety Association; addressed the meeting on Association business. Mr. F. B. Denison, District Representative, Workmen's Compensation Board, Fort Wi Iii am, and one of the speakers, dealt with the Workmen's Compensation Act and the great advance in benefits granted over the years since the Act's inception in 1915. Mr. John Styffe, chairman of the Northwestern District Accident Prevention Committee, gave a very interesting talk on an organizational plan suggested by the said committee for use by all operators. Mr. Paradis, Assistant General Manager, OntarioMinnesota Pulp & Paper Company Ltd. spoke. briefly on accident prevention work and Mr. J. A. Mathieu, President, J. A.

Mr. Ge;orge Potts, Woods Production Manager, Ontario-Minnesota Pulp & Paper Company Limited was the guest speaker of the evenoing. A copy of Mr. Potts' address is reprinted below. To round off the evening, motion pictures on the administering of first-aid to the injured and the conservation of wild life were shown. ADDRESS GIVEN BY MR. GEORGE POTTS ONTARl:O MINNESOTA PULP & PAPER CO. LTD. "Firstly, gentlemen, I would like to express my pleasure at again having an opportunity to meet with you and renew acquaintances, and discuss some of our common problems. I also appreciate being asked to speak to you today. I have had the opportunity on previous occasions to hear- others talk , and express their \..iewpoints, and I do want to assure you that I always come away from a meeting of this kind with a new and refreshed look on our everyday problems. We are, I think, all a little prone to assume all is well, and these meetings sometimes have a very jarring effect on our ideas. What I have to say is not new. I am not going 10 attempt to inject a new approach to bettering our present accident experience. I would much prefer to relate to you how I look at the problem and I think rnany of you will agree if we can come up with a good job _done here, we will have gone a long way in decreasing the number of injuries to our woods employees.

Department of Lands and Forests officials from nineteen northern districts spread from Kenora to the Ottawa River were in attendance and, in addition, all the major timber and pulp and paper in the Province were on hand. Northwestern Ontario companies were wel I represented at the course and, in addition, senior officials from companies located at the Head of the Lakes were present at the demonstratino showing the use of aircraft and helicopters in fighting fires . The following subjects were covered at the course: Fire Protection Planning -- Q. F. Hess. Forest Fire Laws M. Sauerbrei Public- Relations and Industry Responsibility - C. R. Mills T. S.

Ruxton was chairman of the meeting and Mr. T. E. Mackey, Chief of the Division of Forest Protection and his assistant Mr. J. C. Dillon attended the course. As can be seen from the above, those in attendance at the course were given a broad and instructive picture in preventing, detecting and suppressing fires. Special emphasis was placed on pre-suppression measures, the organization of crews and care of equipment. The demonstrations by the Department of Lands and Forests on the use of hand fire fighting tools; the mechanical fire fighting equipment; and water-bombing, cargo dropping; laying hose by helicopter; were outstanding features of the course. In particular the demonstration using aircraft and helicopter showed the many uses that may be made of both, either working in conjunction os by themselves and there was no doubt in the minds of any persons who saw the demonstration that the helicopter is going to revolutionize fire fighting. The ease with which it can get men and pumps, etc., to a fire will result in fires being tackled much more quickly than formerly and this should result in fire areas being smaller than in previous years. Mr. T. E. Mackey, Chief of the Division of Forest Protection s.t ated: "This is the newest and latest method of fighting fire by getting water on the fire quickly in a way that was not available to us before.

Such co-ordinated action is important and necessary. In the lifetime of any of us, in industry or in Lands and Forests Department, none of us individually can learn too much about preventing forest fires and fighting them when they do occur. Only by the collective efforts of al I of us - forest rangers and those engaged in forest industries - by the pooling of our combined knowledge and experience, can we hope to succeed in the protection of Ontario's forests. That is the fundemental value of gatherings like this. I am sure that it will be of benefit to all concerned." EDITOR'S NOTE: One of the items fully discussed at the Forest Protection Course, was "Back-firing". It was generally agreed that back-firing had a place in fighting fires, and in view of this the Editor requested Mr. J. C. Dillon, Supervisor of Forest Fire Control, Department of Lands and Forests, to write a short report on "Back-firing". This should be read with interest by all who are concerned in fire protection. The organization and training of fire crews was a subject of much discussion at the Fire Protection Course. It was agreed that the pump crews organized as shown above would produce most efficient results, and it was agreed that pump crews trained in the Province of Ontario would be organized as above. • Crews trained in this organization will be able to operate with fewer improvements if necessary, and produce good results. However, for training purppses it was agreed that those crews organized would be used. This crew organization is to be standard in the Province of Ontario, and it is hoped that all industry pump crews will be organized on this basis. (See Pump Crew Organization on Page 15) .BACKFIRING - THE MASTER TOUCH By J. C. Dillon Backfiring is a method of controlling fires, of that there is no doubt. There is a natural tendency on the part of any man in charge of a fire to hesitate about starting a back fire and well there might be, However, I do not know of one single instance where a backfire has failed to perform its function if the proper preliminaries were carried out. In short when a backfire fai Is it is a case of poor judgment and should be considered as such rather than a condemnation of the method. Backfiring might be analized in this manner supposing a fire was threatening a backwoods settlement and h2d cut off the ordinarv means of exit such as a road or waterway and the firebreak surrounding the community was definitely not large enough or cleared sufficiently to tops the advancing fire. There are women and children in the settlement. Under such circumstances, the wise fire fighter will attempt to en, large the fire break by backfiring, and no one could possibly consider that his attempt was wrong. This ha~ been done and no doubt we will be called upon to repeat the action as this Province develops frontiers. Now if under the foregoing conditior backfiring was considered essential to the preservation of life and property, it is equally sond thinking when applied to a {Continued on Page 16) �PAGE 14 LOG BOOK SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER J L_ Tractomotive TL-D Tracto-Loader FOR THE ALLIS-CHALMERS MODEL DMOTOR GRADE A new heavy duty Tracto-Loader made for the AllisChalmers Model D Motor Grader.

HRANE HARDWARE (PORT ARTHUR) LIMITED rth Cumberland Street, Port Arthur - Dial 5-7345 �PAGE 16 SEPTEMBER - LOG BOOK SPARK ARRESTORS A test to find out the most efficient spark arrestor was recently conducted by member companies using the Nylund Spark Arrestor and the ordinary screen type copy. The report is as folliws: "On the night of August 5, 1953, a thorough test was made on both the screen type and the Nylund type of spark arrestor. "The test was run after dark on the wash-room stove. With screen type arrestor in place a good fire was well stirred up. Many sparks were observed leaving the arrestor. The Nylund arrestor was then affixed the fire stirred harder than before and no single spark was to be seen. The draft on the stove was checked by the bull-cook both at night and in the morning. It was at least as good as and possibly better than it had been with the screen arrestor. "On the following morning a Nylund arrestor was placed on the cookery stove pipe and the cook was asked to pay particular attention to the draft and smoke situation throughout the morning. At noon she reported that the draft had improved and the stove smoked less than before. "On the afternoon of August 8, 1953 a Nylund arrestor was tested on the cookery at McKay Lake Lake Road camp. The cook reported an immediate improvement in draft and a reduction of smoke. In the above cases the arrestors were used outside the buildings. In the winter they might better be used inside as they are good heat savers. CONCLUSION: Screen type arrestors plug up badly and quickly (a few days) with carbon particles. Nylund arrestors can not plug as there is no screen. Screen type arrestors do not stop all sparks. Nylund arrestors do appear to stop all sparks. Nylund, reportedly will outlast the screen type arrestor by at least two times and possibly more. This would doubtless offset the difference in price which is $8.91 as against $4.35. ABITIBI SMOOTH ROCK FALLS DIVISION USE ANTI-FREEZE IN FIRE PUMPS FOR WINTER USE The use of anti-freeze in the Wajax pump gears was first used in this Division during the winter of 1951-52. ft:.s the pu~ps a~e _used as a means of camp defense during the winter 1t 1s essential that they start quickly and easily regardless of temperature. In some of the camps it is possible to operate the pump inside a warm building but this is not always the case. It was found that when a pump was taken from the warm storage quarters to the water supply several minutes elapsed before the hoses were connected. In this short interval the oil in the pump gears became so stiff that it was very difficult to crank the motor. Another hazard had been the possibility of a small amount of water remaining in the pump after drainina. This water, if exposed to the cold, changed to ice jamming the gears and sometimes causing serious dam~ age to certain parts of th epump. A good quality anti-freeze was used to protect the interior of the pump and proved quite satisfactory. Not only was it fairly easy to crank the pump but it did not matter if a little water remained in the pump. Furthermore as the anti-freeze was non-injurious to the linen hose, it was no longer neressary to flush out the pump before attarhing the outlet.

(Continued from Page 10) would hardly ask a cut~er to wear the safety items you would expect an electric welder to use, or vice-versa. \Ve should, though, consider each occupation on its own and after agreeing whether certain safety items are to be issued to help prevent injury to that particular job we should, if we believe in our safety program 1 insist on them being used. We have now outfitted the employee in what we think is safe apparel. He should be told its purpose and how best to use it, just as you explain to him the other functions of his work. This naturally heads to my next stop--education, or showing the employee how to do his job and do it in a safe manner. ~oo often this v~ry _important aspect is skipped over lightly. The man 1s hired - he is issued his tools to work with - shown where he wi 11 work given a few words of caution along with a few minutes of actual demonstration on how to do his job - and then left on his own. If he is a cutter, it is a safe bet that this same fellow will soon be nursing the effects of a misplaced or misguided blow from an axe that hand-tool that still causes so much damage. It is not enough to skip over this part lightly and leave the man to flounder on his own. He should be shown how to do his job he should be checked repeatedly - and told in no uncertain terms that that the v:1ay we wa~t hi~ to ~o his job - the safe way. There 1s no use in acting like an ostrich and sticking out h~ads out of sight. Hoping things will come out 0. K. If we are g<?i ng to accept safety as part and parcel of our operation we should be prepared to insist ~n our accepted po_l icies carried out. If an employee aoes not hold up his end of the production line steps are taken to jack him up or other changes are ~ade. He is either transferred to other work or replaced if he continues in this manner. Why then should not this same principle apply to safety? Who is responsible for safety? This question is asked repeatedly. We have many approaches to the question but the answer is always the same. We are all re s po n s i b I e for safety. Safety is Iike· any operation it requires the wi II of all to make it go. Naturally a plan should be evolved. Generally this policy is set :..ip by management after discussion with supervis: ::,,1 and others. It is though, the function of supervision to see that your is safety plan is followed. Each supervisor, from rna rnent down should accept the responsibility of s that the plan is enforced. The man on the line look to his foreman for guidance -- the foreman si supervisor, and so on up. Your Safety man 1 ·f ~a_v_e one, should not b~ shouldered with this r~ 1bil1ty -- he should assist in the formation of th icy and in its application and in general coun e ~he best of his ability .. It is the acceptelbelief industry where safety 1s programmed that the line is more advantageous. In short, you should sponsible for the safety of the men you supervi How you plan your campaign is of course a matter. It does not matter too much what you how much you do. To be effective you should that what you want to do is done. You can use films run contests or appl other features. They are all good - you sh though, overplay it. You can sicken of an ove your favourite food which may be highly sea too rich. It is, I think, much better to kee accepted and proven diet. It is a winner in run. We have with us today, a number of whose operations I know do not warrant due mies the same style of plans that larger ope accomodate. There is though, no reason why should not accept the same principles and a on a scale comparable to their size of ope many cases these smaller groups are in a c1nd parcel of our own operations, in, that the product they produce. We should the serious consideration to assisting in this fi have proved that a wel I planned safety pro us with our own problems we should then ourselves again, maybe in an indirect ma could offer our services to these groups. I tainly be worth trying.

PORT ARTHUR, ONTARIO �LOG BOOK PAGE 22 WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION REHABILITATION CENTRE AT MALTON (Continued from Page 7) The complete program is one physical reconditioning of the patient, to return him to the highest possible level of functional ability. Although emphasis is placed on physical reconditioning, it is not forgotten that treatment can fail if it is not accompanied by the patient's desire to get well. Finding a method to stimulate this desire is one of the problems of the team. In the final stages, to establish this confidence from a mental point of view, and to gain assurance of the stage he has reached, the patient is tested on the work he will have to do or on activities simulating his job. A lumberman will be required to use his axe, saw, pulp hook; a railroad worker to use rail-laying tools; a construction labourer to use the tools of his trade and to carry maximum weight. A labourer is tested on his ability to carry, dig, push and pull; a mechanic has to spend time kneeling and laying, meanwhile using his tools. After this test the man is reassured and the doctor is able to recommend his capabi Iities and restrictions for a better job placement. This is the ultimate goal of all treatment administered at the Workmen's Compensation Board Rehabilitation Centre.

Take advantage of natural regeneration; as this programme is only intended to supplement natural stocking, not replace it. Roots must be planted in mineral soil. Roots must be planted in moist soil. Roots must be spread out, not bundled. Tree must be planted to the depth of the root collar -this point cannot be over-emphasized. Compact the soil around the roots to avoid air spaces. Space the trees 8 feet by 6 feet. It is necessary to instruct each man personally and continue to instruct and check until every tree is planted as though he owned it. Each camp is responsible for its own regeneration program after the plantation area has been selected, and tools and trees delivered. The spring programme starting about the first week of May, is usually of tw~ weeks duration. It may overlap the sap peeling season, but will not wt deeply into it. 0 n I y unfavourabie weather prolonged the 1 9 5 3 Spring programme of 512,000 seedlings beyond two weeks. 2-2 and 2-0 stock can be planted, the 2-0 stock being assigned to the least competitive areas. The 2-0 stock is graded at the nursery, the smaller stock being sent to the transplant fields, and the larger stock sent out for planting. For this reason, it is improbable that 2-0 stock would be available for Fall planting. The Fall programme, starting about August 20th, can be extended for a month or more, and may, conveniently, employ labour. which will later move into winter camps. The planting tool is a short-handled round-mouth shovel with the blade cut down to six inches. It is efficient for scalping away the duff in preparation for the L-slit. The tree supply schedule calls for shipments at four or five day intervals. This ensures minimum time lapse between lifting and planting, and permits the transplant truck to haul full loads. For the four or five day interval, adequate storage can be found under shade trees, in root houses, refrigerators or well-ventilated buildings, or wherever shade, coolness and water are available. For storage of longer periods, hee·lingin beds are necesasry. From the supply cemre, the 2-2 trees are transferred to 2 or 3-gallon pails at 50 to 75 trees per pail, and the 2-0 trees to 105 oz. fruit cans at 200 trees per can. In each case, three to four inches of water in the pail ensures wet roots at all times. The optimum planting crew for average working conditions is twelve men under a foreman. Larger crews lose efficiency, in that too many men try to work in too small an area or become too wide spread. A smaller crew results in excessive overhead. In an 8 foot cut-over, three men work together, one man planting the strip road while the two outer men fill in on the sides and in amongst the brush piles. In a skidded area, the area is gridded, ignoring existing skid trails and skidways. Where the brush piles and underbrush are too heavy to permit gridding, several men plant the skidway, then fan out dowr, skid trail, filling in on the sides as they work t back of the cutting block. Production, on a general labour basis is 400 per man day of 2-2 stock and 500 trees per of 2-0 stock. On a piecework basis, produ~ creases to 800 trees per man day of 2-0 stock experimetnal piecework plantation of 60,000 2-0 ce appears successful after six weeks.

This wood was treated in the interests of prolonging the season in which pulpwood could be peeled. In reporting this operation to the LOG BOOK, Mr. Howard Hicks, Woods Superintendent, at the Northern Paper Mllls at Hansen, Ontario, stated: 11 To apply this chemical we use a form of girdling tool which we make up in our own shops. This is used to remove a ring of bark from the tree four inches in width. 'As the chemical has no effect on the tree below where it is applied it is necessary to girdle the tree close to the ground. To apply the chemical we use a special brush. A small pressure tank is carried on the back of the man who applies the chemical and a tube from this tank feeds the brush through the handle. A small spring valve half way up the tube stops the flow of liquid while the painter moves from one tree to another. 11 Last season we found that this wood did not peel much until after the first frost. We also found that it is a bit difficult to peel much wood in the fall as while there is frost in the. bark it cannot be removed very easily. However we did find that even while we had two feet of snow in the woods this spring that this timber peeled very well. In fact it peeled well enough that some of our cutters asked for a strip of this treated timber that they could continue with it rather than start sap peeling. 11 This chemical must be applied during the peeling season as it is carried up the tree by the upward flow of sap. When girdling it is very important to make sure that all bark has been taken off clean and that the wood itself is not cut. Trees will show signs of dying one week after the chemical has been applied. 11 Having cut some 200 cords of this treated wood last fall we found when hauling that it was quite heavy. This caused us some alarm but we now find that the treated wood which was cut this spring dries out about the same as sap peeled wood. 11 We have heard it mentioned quite often that this chemical is very dangerous for the employee to handle but we do not. feel that we can agree to these stories if the proper care is taken. It is quite true that the chemical is deadly poison and is injurious to the skin. However if one does happen to spill or splash any of the liquid on the flesh it can be washed off easily. Our men are instructed that while handling the chemical they m u s t wear rubber tr0us~rs, or waterproof cloth trousers, and rubber gloves. By taking these precautions we have had no trouble. This summer, approximately 1600 cords of wood were treated and plans are being discussed for still more timber to be treated next year. It was found that some trees did not receive quite sufficient ,_c;hemical in 1952 and for that reason slightly more chemical per tree has been applied this year. It is also reported that about t~e middle of August one of the foremen tried peeling two trees that were purposely left standing last Spring and he reports that these trees peeled much better than they did in the spring.
