It is gra now that that our magazine is serving a useful purpose. We would like to repeat that if readers or members at any time have ideas or suggestions which they think would add to the betterment and improvement of the logging industry the management would be more than pleased to have them. As we enter the new year of 1949 there are signs that the timber industry is entering a new phase. The insatiable demand of the past 7 or 8 years seems to have reached and end. lt is hoped in the interest of all concerned that this will prove to be only a period of "leveling-off" and that the great volume of timber produced in this area will maintain a comparatively high level. In order to do our bit towards retaining a high level of production and demand we must all become )°st co,_nscious. We must place ourse•lves in a position ,o compete with any other wood producing area. For this year then the watchword shtJuld be 11 11 1 "economy • Our target' should be a continuance of the. present policy of increasing the general standards and conditions in the woods, of developig better and more efficient ,:neons of handling wood, of eliminating n·eedless waste and inefficiency, with the end result of producing wood or wood products at a price which can meet competition from any source. It wi II behoove us all from the apprentice on up to the man11 11 ager to keep economy in the forefront and there can be no doubt that we will then reach our target. 1 H. H.

The majority of the newcomers to Canada have mastered a knowledge of Basic English and have begun to know Canada and the responsibilities of citizenship. Most of the newcomers have taken at least one 1 "vacation tour ' for a preliminary look at Canada. Many plans are in the development stage. Capital acquired in the bush is being used for professional study by immigrant doctors, lawyers, engineers, and teachers. Farms are being purchased, homes constructed, businesses established. Our newcomers are quickly becoming Canadians-and are a credit to Canada. One significant discovery relative to the programme of studies in English and Citizenship has been the "uncovering" of teacher talent. Clerks and foremen have provided their help. "Why not continue classes ?n With some change in subject matter, classes could be set up for oldtimer ond newcomer alike. Books, film strips, and other aids are available for guided study. Wherever a group of at least l O men show interest and an instructor is available classes can operate. Any camp interested in setting up classes may apply to E. V.

Here are some tips.To avoid frost-bite do not use grease or cream on the skin as it actually aids freezing. This fortunah-;ly does not apply to women's cosmetics. Wear mitts with pile on the back, or woollen ·mitts, that can be held against the face when intense ,cold strikes. If your nose is frozen the best way to thaw it out is to hold the pile or wool mitt over the nose and mouth and breath into the mitt. As for other frost-bite treatment, do not use •snow, oil, or. grease, and do not rub or message the frozen part, even if tbese old-time cures come to mind. In case of severe frost-bite, get out of the cold immediately and heat up the rest of the body. Then elevate the frozen portion and thaw out very slowly Avoid pressure of any kind on the frozen portion. After that, it's up to a doctor to prescribe further treatment. Harry Hogeweide, Mel Bryan and Art Swanson have returned from an extensive tour of sawmi 11 ing industries in Finland and Sweden. They are full of admiration for the feeling of co-operation between management and labour in the countries visited, and have brought back reports of the many ways in whicfthis is shown-a workman's intense sense of respon-sibility for the machines he works with, his care of these same machines with resulting small loss of time, the scrupulous way in which each workman does his share to keep the plant and rest rooms as clean os possible and how careful each man is to make sure nothing is wasted, not , even the smallest piece of lumber.

C. Harrison. According to legend and woodsmen, the camp clerk must be a "Jack-of-all-trades". In addition to his regular duties of clerking he has always been considered the general go-between for the company and and the woods workers. Of necessity and perhaps unknowingly he is a personnel or labour relations man; he advises the woods worker financially; he must have knowledge of all the various supplies that a camp uses in a single year; he must know something about operating methods; it is his duty to keep close watch on inventories and to do many other jobs which are aln:-iost too numerous to list here. So all in all the camp clerk is a very busy man almost 24 hours per day. With this in mind and taking other things into consideration, Abitibi recentiy revised its Woods accounting system with a view t0wards reducing the daily and month-end routine work of the camp clerks. Now that this revision is almost a "fait accompli" the status of the camp clerk has been changed to the extent that he is presently classed as the Camp Bussiness Manager. The change-over of course was not abrupt. Careful planning was required especially insofar as the individual camp clerks were concerned, and in order that they would be properly prepared, it was felt that we could do no better than to develop a training program for them. Consequently, the camp clerks were g iven a course in J. I.T. (Job Instructor Training) based on the development of the Supervisory Training program of the company. As time goes on the clerks will be given other "J" courses with special emphasis being placed on J.R.T. (Job Relations Training). Training was also given in the application of the revised ac counting system. No training program can be consid-ered complete when the initial steps have been taken with the result that a follow-up program is being de·· veloped to suit the requirements of each division of the company The Camp Business Manager as the title implies has been allotted additional responsibilities now that there i5 iess time being spent on routine clerking, The co-operation that is required between the camp foreman, the camp business manager and the camp cook, the three most important key personnel in any camp organization, is of the utmost importance. With a manager tn charge of the busines affairs of the camp the remainder of the key personnel have more time to devote to the many supervisory duties that they require to perform. Mr. G. R. Sonley of the Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited and Mr. J. H. Godden of the Great Lakes Paper Company, Limited were appointed members of the Siliviculture Committee of the Wocdlands Section, Canadian Pulp & Paper Assocition to represent the Lakehead Region and to form a Lakehead Sub-Committee. A meeting of this Committee was held in Port Arthur in December and foresters of companies were present at the meeting. A questionnaire prepared by the Woodlands Section was answered and as a result of discussion the following recommendation was made "Si nee si lviculture is the application of the know· ledge of silvics in the treatment of a forest, and since very little factual knowledge of silvics of our Canadian species exi sts, it is recommended that research be instituted in this very important subject." Chief Instructor, School of Food Technology, The Ryerson Institute of Technology, Toronto, Visits Bush Camps It is believed that the only school in Canada training cooks at this time is the school of Food Technology, The Ryerson Institute of Technology, Toronto. This School is under the Department of Education of Ontario. In order to acquaint Mrs. G. A. Dobson, the chief instructor with the conditions, labour , wages and problems of feeding in the camps, it was arranged that Mrs. Dobson visit camps in North Western Ontario. Between November l l th and November 15th, Mrs. Dobson visited approximately 35 camps i(l the Thunder Bay area on the invitation of the Thunder Bay Timber Operators' Association. Camps were visited in the Black Sturgeon area. of the Abitibi Power & Paper Company, Limited~ The Great Lakes Paper Co. and the Great Lakes Lumber & Shipping Limited, also the Brampton Pulp & Paper Company, Limited, camps at Beardmore, Ont. and the Marathon Paper Mills of Canada, Limited, camps at Stevens and Caramant.

FORESTRY NEWS TWO DEFINITIONS OF FORESTRY "Forestry" is "The scientific management of forests for the continuous production ·. of goods and services." Continuous spells stability; goods means industry; services stands for employment. "Forestry is the art of -so managing a forest that ,t will produce the largest volume of wood of the most desirable species, of the best quality, in the shortest time, at lowest cost, continuously, forever." Each phase is siqnificant and essential. The aim is high production continuous employment, for all time. It is called sustained yield .The Northwestern Ontario section, the Canadian Society of Forest Engineers have agreed to supply ar" ticles on forestry for the 1949 issues of the Log Book. The first article will be published in the March issue and these issues should be of interest to us all. �PAGE 12 LOG BOOK Pulp &Paper Research Institute Officer Says: "Use Gravity-- Don't Fight It." Director of Woodlands Re£earch, ?ulp & Paper: Research Institute of Canaclc. Logging wood on steep hills is o~e of the toughest problems found to be in the bush. Our usual practice 1s to skid or haul wood with horses, in spite of rough ground and excessively steep grades. This is inefficient-costly, very hard on men and horses, often risky; and considerable wood is wasted on the stump as too ha rd to get. This common practice is dependent on a wrong principle. The gravity force, instead of being used, is fought. For each relatively small load the teamster and the horse; • have to make two trips-climb up and come down. Actuaily only one-way transportation is required, straight down the hill; and given a chance gravity will do the work, free of charge. A simple, logical way is to send wood down a strong wire, tightly stretched between a tree on the hi 11 and another one at the bottom. It took C. R. Si Iversides, Woodlands Research Associate, and me, over three years to work out, 'in co-operation with several paper companies,- a practical technique of bringing pulpwood bolts down steep slopes "by wire". Now this process is ready for effective commercial application and much credit for this advance is due to the recent JANUARY 1949 experiments on the operations of St. Anne Power Compony; Pat Clair of that company's Woods Department should be "patted on the shoulder". USE GRAVITY INSTEAD This ingenious method of logging very steep hillsides provides for sendng small loads of wood by gravity down over a steel wire and for automatic discharge of the loads at the bottom Including installation of the wire and its moving as needed, less than on hour is required to bring a cord of wood down a 60 percent, 500 foot slope. With experience, this output should increase. The work is Gravity equipment is comparatively light, easy to pack over-- hilly terrain. Skidding by wire is a practical method of b_rfoging pulpwood bolts down steep slopes, where ordinary hauling practice would prove costly and wasteful. Particultary important on hillsides, it will prevent land erosion and damage to the remaining young growth. Equipment is simple and cheap • • done by two men, or even by one. The essential equipment consists of a coil of strong steel wire, a very small hand winch for tensioning the wire and steel rings with chain slings for load attachment. It is very cheap and light. This is "mechanization" of logging where needed most, almost without machinery; with gravity in stead of oil. Not only is it an easy way, as compared to our usual practice, but it should permit use of wood now being wasted as "inaccessible". It is fully compatible with silvicultural considerations, particularly important on steep hillsides, to prevent land erosion and damage to the remaining growth. Let us hope that "skidding by wire" will be tried out and adapted widely by the people who do not necessarily wait for "George." This new method obviously is so simple and attractive that the question naturally comes up, "Why haven't we done it before?" As a matter of fact, in 1825, on Mount Vesuvius in Italy, this principle was used with success; and it has been used since, here and there, at times, mostly with good effect. As the force of gravity is available free, this: method op parently had no consistent promotion until the Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada undertook to do some research 7l �LOG BOOK JANUARY 1949 PAGE 13 MARATHON FILM "EVOLUTION IN LOGGING" MADE AVAILABLE TO OTHER COMPANIES Advertisers' News NESCO SLASHERS IMPROVED Mr. J.

For these reasons, and many more, I don't mind telling you gentlemen here today, that YOU and others like you, the world over, are the MOST IMPORTANT AND ESSENTIAL PEOPLE ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH. . . This is a bold statement . . . But I. make this statement knowing that you are concerned with the most important problem in the world today . . . and that is the problem of people. . . people at work . . . people in whom you place confidence, and upon whom you depend. . . people who are dynamic, working, restless, changing, sometimes a Ii ttle peculiar, and many who are little appreciated or really understood . . . If there is one thing that you and I have learned, out of our many years of experience, it is THAT THE ONE MOST IMPORTANT, SINGLE ELEtv'ENT IN THE WORLD IS "PEOPLE" . . . and, as leaders and management men, your mould is cast, and your lives are garnered for the betterment and improvement of YOUR PEOPLE AT WORK . . . You rank among From all that I hear, and have seen, you men under Jim Ryan's leadership are travelling a modern road of real progress in woods operation . . . Progress which did not start with you . . . neither will it end with you, for progress goes on and on, constantly. Only people stand still, and no one can stand in its path . . . You men, and others like you, across this great land, are A very important link in this great human chain of civiiization and ever moving progress .. You men are the LEADERS . . . who make this progress possible . . . The leaders who devise, organize, and put real red-blooder.l vibrating life into the master plan, designed by those above you, in this great "Mondo" organization. It's up to you men, and others like -you throughout this Company, to make "MANDO" mean to PAPER, what '"STERLING" means in SILVER. Without such leaders as are gathered here in this room, this industry could never have been started 1 and if started, could not have endured for long.

GROCERIES, FRUITS & YEGETABLES, TOBACCO, the highest in human service, and in the brotherhood of man . . . Without men like you, this would be an undeveloped land. All around us are evidences of the handiwork of your kind. . . I say it is nothing more than a simple case of "PEOPLE" and "LEADERSHIP". You men have been put into your management jobs to get things done. . .but one of the basic eiements of your task as management men is to bui Id and maintain a sound, sincere, sympathetic understanding among your people. . . JUST A GOOD UNDERSTANDI NG . . . an understanding that will make those you lead, want to follow, in confidence, reverence, and res• pect . . . An understanding that will not only make your job possible . . . but, will make your job easier. For it is through your people, that you get your work done Without them, you would be bogged down and helpless . . . you cant get along without them, "that you know'·. . . but, did you ever ask youself this question. . . "Can my employees get along without me?" .. yvith the answer to this question forever before you, lit should be clear, that it is "YOUR RESPONSIBILITY" to develop, and build a compiete understanding among your men, if your job is to be done, and done effectively. This is the job which management assigned to you 1 whether you are a foreman, supervisor, or superintendent. I might add that all down through the ages, since the beginning cf man, no greater stumbling block has confronted the human race, than the hurdle of "MISUNDERSTANDING''. . . Misunderstanding has set us back, and held us down, in all of our human endea~ours in times past. Men have been shot, men have tailed, men have floundered, industrial production has been lost, and wars have been waged, because of "MISUNDERSTANDING" . . . and, misunderstanding is one of the major problems STILL confronting industry today . . . In this problem, steaming from our silly inherent human weaknesses, "misunderstanding" creates a human engineering problem in our everyday human relations, one with· another, more colosal than the building of the pyramids, the great wall of China, and all the other great engineering feats of. the word put together. . . yet your job, as management supervisors, requires that you FIRST have "UNDERSTANDING,, among your men . . . '"JOB UNDERSTANDING". . . and "HUMAN UNDERSTANDING" . . . an understanding in the art of human relations, similar to that of the kindly old judge, who was questioning a young lady, who was applying for (_ ja divorce . . . The judge said: "Madam, do you mean ~ to stand there and tell me that during your twelve years of married life, your husband has spoken to you "ONLY FIVE TIMES?" . . . The lady replied, "THATS ETC. RIGHT, YOUR HONOR, ONLY-FIVE-TIMES . . . The judge granted the little lady her divorce. . . ALSO CUSTODY OF THE FIVE CHILDREN. The judge was certainly understanding in this touching court case of HUMAN RELATIONS, IAND LACK OF HUMAN UNDERSTANDING. I trust that you men, talk with your employees more frequently than this husband talked to his wife, else you may have some of your men divorcing themselves from the employ of this Company Speaking of Human Understanding, and what we see in other people. . . an old forema11 uncle of mine, had this to say to me at the time he retired from long and faithful service with the Alton Railroad . . . He said, "I didn't understand until I almost reached retirement age, that I had been "ALL WET" as a foreman." He said, "I had been taking the viewpoint that MY MEN were out there to solve MY PROBLEMS. I didn't realize that I was out there to help solve the problems of my men . . . to talk with them, and show a personal interest in their families, their hobbies, their illnesses and misfortunes, their community activities their little differences on the job, their ambitions_ . and their pride". . . He said, "Had I understood that side of my responsibility better, and had I paid a little more attention to the HANDLING OF MY MEN, and DEVELOPING OR TRAINING each one of them fully,, I would have contributed more to the building of a better rai I road organization." He went on to say, "Someone might today be holding down a better job; somebody's home migh, 1 have a piano; somebody's children might be able to go to college, and somebody might be able to buy the food, clothes, and medical care they need." .. He said, "I just didn't know I didn't know that part of foremanship, because I busied myself TOO MUCH with the equipment, tools, , and materialistic side of my job in getting my work done.". . . He said, "Had I given more attention to this other side of foremanship, and had planned with my men, and let them plan with me, we could have ALL developed a better understanding of each other . I might have been pushed up to SUPERINTENDENT, and one of the MEN PUT IN MY JOB . . . Then, too, look where the railroad would have been." ................ .. Uncle Fred had reached a point of understanding about his job, too late . . . It is noteworthv, however that he recognized the VALUE OF, and his RESPONSIBILITY FOR, the TRAINING and the DEVELOPMENT of his men . . . He saw the value and importance of TRAINED PEOPLE working together in complete harmony and .full understanding . . . He had come to recognize "THE IMPORTANCE OF PEOPLE".

It just doesn't exist . . . Take the "PEOPLE" out of this industry, and what have you got left? A pile of brick and mortar some tools and machinery, and a few dollars in the treasury . . . After all, what is it that makes up an institution, organization, cities, towns, and countries::> IT'S PEOPLE!. .. "PEOPLE" is the stuff out of which the whole world is made . . . A wheel never turns, a chimney never smokes, only for "PEOPLE" . . . and, everything man-made ends with' 'PEOPLE", but .. . people themselves never end . . . Like the wind, like Tennyson's Brook, and time itself, "PEOPLE" go on and on forever . . .

People who down through the years. have made up the great symphony (of MAN AT WORK", forging out great nations, great industries, and a standard of living undreamed of a few centuries ago . . . We might add here, that all of this progress is to be found, only where the system of free enterprise exists. . . Where there is free opportunity for one man to pit his ingenuity against that of another, and to enjoy his own meritorious award, there from. Let me give you an excerpt here, from "ELLIOT'S MANAGEMENT INFORMATION", which i!lustrates this point An American labor delegation visited the Skoda works in Czecho-Slovakia. The Americans asked: "To whom does this factory belong?:, "We, the people, own it sold the guide3. "Who owns the machinery?" asked the Americans "We, the people own it", the guides answered. "Who gets the profits??" the visitors demanded. "We, the peopie get them", was the reply. Then the Americans saw three large cars parked nearby and asked who owned them. He was told that, ''One is owned by the commissar for defense, the second belongs to the chairman of the workers' committee and the third to the representative from Moscow, wh~ is visiting here. 11 Then a Skoda labor delegation came to America to tour and see our industrial plants. An American labor leader showed them the Ford factory, and the same questions \Vere asked. · "Who owns this factory? the visitors asked "Mr. Ford does", said the American. "Who owns the machinery?" they demanded, and were told Mr. Ford owned it. "Who gets the profits?" the Skoda men continued 1 II 11 , 11 "Mr. Ford does", said the American. Then the visitors saw 30,000 cars parked in a nearby lot, and asked, "Who owns al I those cars?" The American grinned. Then he said: "We, the people, own those cars. Without the leadership of people like yourselves, none of this could happen. . . Without leaders, people tend to work against themselves, stumble around, get in their own way, and lack the necessary drive or enthusiasm FCUND ONLY AMONG FREE MEN, well organized, trained, and lead. . . Can't you see now, why I say that AS FOREMEN, and as SUPERVISORY MANAGEMENT MEN, "YOU" are the most important group of people on the face of the earth . . . NOT AS INDIVIDUALS, but as "LEADERS". . . LEADERS among men for the COMMON GOOD, and WELFARE ct ALL ''PEOPLE'· ,;LEADERSHIP" is an art . . . It is an art to be MORE UNDERSTOOD than learned . . . Some have it some don't . . . Some will learn it, others never. . . . Whatever its elements, we know that ORGANIZATION, DEVELOPMENT, PERSUASION AND PRACTICE, are some of its chief components. One of these elements cannot be employed without the other . . . You can give your people work orders, well planned and organized, together with full explicit explanation or "knowhow about the work or job at hand . . . but, without some kind of "PERSUASION" your job is only part done . . . "PERSUASION" is the HOW, the WHY, the TIMI NG, the SOUND OF YOUR VOICE, the TWINKLE IN YOUR EYE, or the MANNER OF YOUR ACTIONS: which MAKES PEOPLE VOLUNTARILY RESPOND, AND WANT TO BE LEAD. In addition to all these, it takes long persistent "PRACTICE", in working with each man as an individual, on an individual basis; day in and day out . . . to become a good leader . . . a good foreman. . . or a good superintendent. The rewards for good leadership are many . . . /J 11 nnrl nll rewords are earned. . . Leaderc:;hin rPwnrrh: never come by request, and seldom perchance . . . . Some "SO-CALLED leaders, fool themselves by the old "outmoded" trick of "brute force" and "fear". . . the method of "kicking them in the teeth and make them like it",. . or "fire twenty today and hire twenty tomorrow" . . . The methods of fear and trembling are out . . . But we are today reaping the awful harvest which that kind of leaders have sown. .

In addition to these entertainment shows, many camps now see the best of the educot1),:mal and documentary films,. In the cities, the demand for such fi I ms as are produced by the National Film Board is now well established. Film iibraries such as the Thunder Bay Film Library provide hundreds of films each month to clubs and community groups. This service has now been extended to many bush camps. Thus, in the bush camps just as in the cities, films about Canadian life and customs, about recreation, music and art, about international problems, health, and a hundred other topics, now reach out to interest and instruct people in every walk of iife. In the Thunder Bay area, company projectionists cooperate willingly to satisfy this demand. They secure their educational shorts at no cost from the Public. Librairies of Port Arthur and Fort William. In some cases a whole programme of educational and documentary films is provided. In others, a twenty-minute ,.. short subject is added to the regular entertainment programme. It has been both surprising and gratifying to note the interest, and even enthusiasm, created by these f i Ims. In camps where D.P.'s attend classes in Basic English and Citizenship, films about Canada, its people, resources and industry, help them to understand their adopted country _ ~ There are still many camps where s □ ch films are not yet available.

FLUORESCENT LAMPS-DISPOSAL OF DANGEROUS TOXICS WHEN BREAKING UP The Canadian Building Owners' and Managers' Association of Montreal warn that a great deal of caution must be exercised when disposing of old or handling new fluorescent bulbs. They advise that most of our present day fluoresent bulbs contain fro!':' one ( 1) to four (4) percent beryllium powder and that experience has shown that this powder is much more toxic than was first thought. If this powder comes in contact with open lesions of the skin, dangerous results may ensue. The glass of the lamp is very fine and penetrating and often flies with a great deal of force when a tube is broken. If any of this glass penetrates the skin, a physician should be contacted at once. It is suggested that extreme care be exercise ...i in the handling .and storage of these lamps. Disposal shoud be effected by sinking in a sfream or by burying in the ground in a .. disposal area, where there is • no danger of contacf·oy chridren.

The damage resulting from these serious outbreaks has not yet been finally established but it is known the final loss wi II reach stupendous figures in dollars and cents. Let us not be lulled into a false sense of security during periods of low hazard-it is up to each and everyone of us to be ever alert and to see to it that our systems ot Fire Prevention and Protection· are brought up to the highest possible standard The feature of this issue of the "Log Book" could well be the settlement of the Labor Agreement for 1948-49. It is to the credit of both the Operators and Union representatives that by "collective bargainjng" and peaceful negotiation a mutually satisfactor~· agreement for the coming year was reached The discussions prior to settlement took place over a long period of time and while it must be admitted that there are still imperfections from the standpoint of either side, both parties have gone a long way towards an ultimately model agreement. It must be remembered however that any such agreement must jlways have foremost the best interests of the men compatible with the best interests of the industry as a whole. We have either reached or passed the high point of the ability of the Industry to absorb the high cost of raw materials. It would be wise therefore to bear in mind that it will be much better to attempt to keep the entire industry on an "even keel' for a long term rather than to push costs to the point where the industry could be priced out of business. Full production on the part of everyone is the answer to high earnings and profits for all. So with the commencement of a new logging season the "Log Book" wishes you every success for the 1948-49 operating year H. H. "Bert" STYFFE This booklet is published as a medium of exchanging information and of recording events of interest in the woods industry in Northern Ontario. :opies are mailed to al I key personnel and to all camps of member-companies as well as to other interested persons. We would appreciate receiving historical inform-· ation interesting news items or humorous incidents at any time. This is your "Log Book" put out for the benefit of the members of this association. Your comments and suggestions for further improvement are invited. PAGE 3 ! To the Port Arthur office of the Department cf Lands and Forests for the excellent display and entertainment provided at the local exhibition in the interests ot conservation both to the forests and wild life The Port Arthur office has staged an active forest ire prevention campaign in the local press and over the local radio, and local officers ore to be congratulated on this work. Results of money spent on advertising are intangible but it is felt that the present program of the deportment in this connection could be considerably enlarged for next year. Education of the public at large, prevention of forest fires and conservation are still vital necessities and while a start has been made in a small way, further efforts are needed. Under the present budget system of the Department of Lands and Forests .it is a difficult task to forecast what will be done in. this connection next year. Funds for next year's activities will not be assured until after the next budget comes down in 1949. From a business view point, this is a serious handicap in planning a campaign of this sort and it is too bod that funds cannot be appropriated now for 1949 activities. The whole forest fire picture from prevention, suppression and education to a review of actual experiences of the '48 season should be thoroughly gone into early this winter and plans made as soon as possible to plan the bottle for next year. Support Your Community Chest Each year in the different localities a c0mmunity chest or other charitable drives are held. In the post years these drives have been supported very generously by the men in the camps and it is hoped that drives in the coming season will be likewise supported. The Port Arthur Community Chest Incorporated and the Fort Wi 11 iam Community Chest Incorporated will be making an appeal for funds to cover operating deficits of affiliated agencies doing social and welfare work in the cities and surrounding communities. Many of the agencies supported give services to outlyng districts and this is especially true of the Children's Aid Society, The Canadian Institute for The Blind and in Port Arthur the Old Folk's Home. The Chest is supervised by a board who give their services absolutely free. Specialsts in finance, business relations, labour and many other fields give voluntary service. Organized labour is fully behind the chest movement and the Lumber and Sawmill Worker's Union have supported and will support this campaign to their utmost. • The budgets for the Chest are very carefully made up. The absolute minimum required in Port Arthur is $41,000.00 and in Fort William $33,500.00 The 1948 campaign opens on October 18th and runs for a period of three weeks. To be successful the full co-operation and wholehearted support of every member of the communities in North Western Ontario is necessar'y As last year the timber comps will be canvassed and literature forms, etc., will be sent out to the camps and volunteer workers will collect donations. The· support of each and every person is solicited. l n other communities as wel I as the Lokehead, your financial support in such worthy campaigns is requested. �LOG SOOK PAGE 4 Timber Inventories From Aerial Photographs By John M. Robinson Chief Forester, Photographic Survey Co. Ltd. During the 1948 summer season, Photographic Survey Company Limited of Toronto: 1has complete_d three significant contracts with North-Western Ontario timber operators which should go a long way toward establishing the fact that successful forest inventories can be carried out quickly, accurately and economically through the proper use of air photographs, supplemented by field checking. The largest of these jobs was done for the J. A. Mathieu Lumber Company at Quetico Park and involved photographing 1000 square miles of limits, the preparation of base maps, and the taking of _a cor:r,plete type and volume inventory of the standing t1mb~r. Photography, both vertical and tri-camera, was done in the spring, and a field party carried out ground_ ~hecks in July. The making of maps arid th_e compilin~ of inventory data was done in Photographic Survey Company1s laboratories The other two contracts were carried out using aerial photos which Photographic Survey had al ready taken in the course of its five-year survey of 125,000 square miles of Northerri Ontario for the provincial Department of Lands and Forests. A det?i led inventory of 81 square miles in Alderson Township near Oba was prepared for the Newaygo Timber Company of Port Arthur and 135 square miles near Cochrane were done for the Driftwood Lands and Timber Company of Sault Ste. Marie. On both of these jobs, ground checking parties from Photographic Survey Company did the necessary ground checking to assure the accuracy o-f information taken from the photographs. Other work done this summer which is of interest to Ontario timber operators includes special photo coverage of 5000 square miles of the territory in the burned-over area around Missisagi for the Department of Lands and Forests, for the purpose of assessing the damage and planning whatever salvage is possi?le. 1948 also marks the third year of progress on the fiveyear task of photographing and mapping 125,000 square mi ies of wooded areas for the same government department At the present time, Photographic Survey Company is unique in offering a complete reco_nn?1ssan_ce service to Canadian timber operators. This includes flying and photography (in cases w_here suita~le coverage does not already exist,) expert interpretation of the photos by a specially trained staff of foresters., the OCTOBER, 1 948 preparation of base maps, the transference of inventory information to the maps, the preparation of contoured maps (or even topographical models) which aid greatly in planning cutting operations, camp locations etc. The School Comes To The Bush - by E. V. ROSS During the past year the Timber operators of North-West Ontario have done much to make the newcomers from Europe feel at home in Canada. In fact it has been suggested that the name "Displaced Person" be changed to "Placed Person." In almost all cases the new-comers have adapted themselves well. A large number have completed their ten month contracts and proceeded "on holidays" with confidence. Many plan to return to the bush this winter. It is of interest to note that the instructing of these men has been carried on by clerks, cooks, timekeepers and other busy staff members of the various camps. Much credit for the "Placing" of new-comers is due these volunteer instructors. It is hoped that in this coming season more camp personnel will realize the importance of the citizenship work and lend assistance. Books and supervision of studies were supplied Community Programmes, a branch of the Ontario De partment of Education Community Programmes is at present making plans for further courses this year. Instruction will be given whenever the request is made, providing instructors can be tound. Courses in English, Citizenship, ana other desired subjects will be given. These courses will be supplemented with films supplied through co-operation with the National Film Board and the Thunder Bay Film Library. Any company or camp desiring information help in setting up courses should contact. E. V. Ross, District Supervisor. Community Programmes, 400 Catherine Street.

Ltd. Nipigon OCTOBER, 1948 Poplar Sinkage Experiment Conducted By Long Lac Pulp &Paper Company Ltd., at. Camp No. 21 By DR. STEVENS By G. L. PUTTOCK This summer the Brompton Pulp & Paper Co. Ltd., Nipigon, has taken advantage of the offer of co-operation from the Dominion Forest Service in establishing permanent plots for growth study purposes. About 150 plots have been established, mostly in the younger stands, and it is planned to continue this work next year. Plots are to be remeasured in five years and possibly again in l O years. Mr. Bedell, of the Dominion Forest Service, visited us the first part of July, looking over our stands ano checking on the actual technique of laying and measuring the plots. The work was carried out by forestry students under the. direct supervision of Dan Pickard, our Chief of Surveys. The tally forms were supplied by the D. F. S. The Service will also help in the compilation of the data and the development of stand density yield curves . Mr. Bedell suggested that the various companies in this disfrict who are doing growth study work could perhaps pool their information and so reduce the number of plots required by each company , The D. F. S. would probably then be quite willing to draw up yield curves for each basic type in each of the forest areas (according to Halliday's Forest Classification) found in this district. This has been suggested to several companies and it is hoped to have a meeting shortly to discuss the matter. A regeneration swvey was also carried out on a small scale on our limits. The results will be tied in to the findings of similiar surveys conducted by the Department of Lands and Forests in Northwestern Ont. With the increasing demand for poplar as a ra product for pulp and paper mills the Woodlands Div sions are confronted with the problem of delivering this species most economically. As driving pulpwood direct-· ly to the mill, wherever possible, is the cheapest known method to date, the question then arises whether or not the financial loss through sinkage outweighs the cost of alternate methods ·of deliver, Available information, from sinkage experiments, and experience, indicates that such loss of winter cut poplar makes it impracticable and uneconomical to drive this species. However poplar is becoming such on important phase of our operation that it was deemed advisable to conduct a sinkage experiment that would simulate the actual operating conditions encountered, were this wood being delivered to the mill Quantities of rough poplar were cut during December 1947, January, February, .and March, 1948. After each cutting period the -wood was placed on an ice landing and encircled with a boom. Each piecfnwas numberecfby means of a metal tag and a complet~record mode at the ·end of each month to determine the si nkage loss. • The results to July 31st, 1948 ore recorded on the following ·page and are by no means complete. Similar sinkage experiments ore underway with 16' winter cut poplar and 8' and 16' leng~hs of green jackpine results of which will be available at an early date TIMBER PRODUCERS EQUIPMENT PULP, LOGGING, SAWMILL AND WOODWORKING MACHINERY 4131 PHONE LAKESIDE 1929 REGENT ST.

It is a highly organized community of plants and animals living in close association and in varying degrees of interdependence. The law of life in the forest is survival ot the fittest, and the competition tor existence is keen. The forest itself is beautful and useful and has played a vital part in the development of the h~man race - HOW A TREE LIVES Trees are woody plants, growing from the ground usually with a single stem. They are the largest members of the plant world, ranging in height from 20 to 300 feet or more, according to species and conditions of growth. Trees may be said to consist of three parts: t 1) The roots, which hold the tree in place and take up from the soil, water and certain mineral substances needed in the tree's growth; (2) the trunk or stem, which supports the crown and supplies it with water and food trom the roots; and (3) the crown, which has much to do with the life of a tree, for in this port take place the most important processes in the digestion of its food and the reproduction of the tree. (Illustration on next page.) The materials upon which a tree feeds are derived from the soil and from the air. Those from the soil are collected by the roots which extend down into the ground. At the ends of the roots and rootlets are countless root hairs reaching out between particles of soil for water and the various substances which it holds in solution. The water and food materials thus collected move upward through numerous channels in the roots, trunk, and branches to the leaves The leaves serve as factories where the foods necessary for the tree's growth are manufactured. This toad making takes place in numberless tiny ceiis of the le~f where by aid of chlorophyll bodies and the action of sunlight, the carbonic acid gas taken from the air is broken up into its elements, oxygen and carbon. While the oxygen is returned to the air, the carbon, still through the action of sunlight and chlorophyll, is combined with the oxygen and hydrogen of the water with the roots, forming new chemical compounds . in which nitrogen and various earthy substances from the water are present. Thus the row food materials which reach the tree through the roots and the leaves are digested in the leaves somewhat as food is digested in the human body. They are then sent to all living parts of the roots, stem, and crown, where they are either used at once in growth or stored away for later use Maize Like all other plants and like animals, trees breathe. This breathing is done through the leaves and through tiny openings in the bark called lenticels. The amount of water taken up by the roots 1s usually very much larger than is required in the chemical processes which go in the leaves. There is thus a surplus of water which cannot be held in the leaves 1 bu must make way for fresh supplies carrying the mineral constituents necessary to the tree's growth. The tree rids itself ot this unused water by a process known as transpiration, which is the evaporation of water from all parts of the tree above ground, but principally from the leaves. In this way trees give off great quantities of water vapor, which tends to keep the air in the forests humid and favorable to growth HOW A TREE GROWS Most trees grow in height and spread of branches by sending out shoots formed by the development of new wood cells. The growth in height each year is made at the terminal bud of the main stem or stems. The "candles'' cf the pines are showy evidences of this new growth A tree grows in thickness or girth through the addition each year of a coat of new wood cells. The layer of wood thus developed is known as an annua -, ring, which, after it is once formed, does not change in size or place during the life of the tree. The annual rings as a rule may be clearly seen on a cross section of the tree trunk. In the center is the pith. Around the pith is the ring formed the first year; around the first year's growth is the ring formed the the second year, and so on. The wood nearest the bark is often lighter than that in the center. This lighter wood is known as the sapwood, because it is the living wood through which the water taken up by the roots passes on its way to the crown. After it has served for a number of years carrying on these life processes, the sapwood graduol ly changes to heartwood. Through infiltration of chemical substance and certain changes in the character of the cell walls, the wood be- · comes darker in color and wholly lifeless. The one function of the ~e?rtwood is mechanical; it serves onl , to support the I1vmg parts of the tree. This is whv hollow trees may still flourish and bear fruit. • The cells between the last layer of sapwood and the bark make up what is known as the cambium layer. It is here that new growth tokes place. The inner side of the cambium layer forms new wood and the outer side bark. In addition to the true cambium which forms both wood and bark, there is another ca~~ bium w~ich makes the outer corky bark and nothing else. Like the true cambium, this cork cambium may encase the whole tree, or it may form little sporate films eochtane ol/a11,Jw.a'U!, 'l,fou11, olleaJF,de11,4 l,M . ..

The maples, and the American elm, are among those that belong in this class. The lighter seeds, like those of the elm, may be borne long distances. The seeds of the maples, liowever, are comparatively heavy for fliers and consequently do not get very far from the parent tree. Heavier seeds, such as the nuts and acorns, may be carried away from the parent tree by birds and smal 1 animals which feed upon them. or ,•· "4 s t. Root ho;,s tok, op ~ o t e r containing small quantity of miner~ls in solution. ,.,. r Trees, like many other plants. bear flowers ord reproduce by means of seed. When the tree enters on its long winter rest, it has its next year's buds already formed. With the coming of spring, these bud·; expand and grow until they finally open into flowers or leaves. Some trees, as the elm and red maple, blossom and set fruit before the leaves open. The ousy willow and alder catkins burst forth before the frost is fairiy out of the ground. Other trees wait until thei: leaves are partly grown before producing their blossoms, while still others, such os the chestnut and basswood, do not flower . until early summer. Some trees mature their seeds rapidly and scatter them in the growing season. This gives the seedlings a long summer for their first season's growth. Others, such as the nut trees, slowly prepare their seeds for fall sowing. The members of the red -oak group and many of the cone-b~aring trees take 2 yeo:-s to matu: e their seed crops. Cambium (fayer of cells where growth in diameter occurs) builds tissues-wood inside and bark outside. - - - - -Dll . in the bark. In either case it dies from time to time,. and is re-formed nearer the wood. Most of the cone-bee: ing trees, such as the pines, spruces, and firs, also _blossom in the early spring. The staminate (male) and pistillate (female} tlowers are usually found on the same tree, and their color varies in the different sr,ecies from yellow and orange to shades of pink, rose, or purple. The pines, especially, produce large quantities of pollen which is scattered by the wind. · Geologically, the conifers are very old, being contemporary with the plant growth from which the coal deposits of today were formed. They still retain the simplicity of floral structure which marked the vegitation of those early times. CROWN 10n The buds, root tips, and cambium layer ore the growing ports. The tree tal:es in oxygen over its entire surface through breathing pares on leaves, twigs, branches, trunk,ond roots. Most trees provide great quantities of seed. but when the seeds have fallen from the trees their fate becomes a matter of chance, and out of thousands perhaps only one will take root where it can grow to be a tree and in its turn bear seed.

The negotiations were the most protracted ever held, every clause, especially the working agreement was thoroughly discussed. The result is that the new agreement represents a distinct improvement over lost year, especially the clause defining griEvance procedure. It remains now for us TO 3ee to it that this machinery 1s used for the general benefit. The first thing of course is for eoch ,.md -2very one ot us to acquaint ourselves with the grievance procedure. Every question that arises con be regularly token up and dealt with, so our uninon on its oart will insist on our members and responsible peoule in the camps that the cigreement signed by us will be strictly adhered to. This will not only benefit us as individuals but increase tht' prestige of our organiza ti on. JACK QUINN Pres. L. & SM. W. U: Local 2785 �OCTOBER 1948 LOG BOOK PAGE 12 the old adage "Haste makes woste." The skilled man takes time to cut all limbs and brush within reach of his axe swing. Let's Not Be"HALF-SAFE". • • No. 3. Pulling wood from pile with hand hook, to carry to truck or sleigh; hook pulls out, or glances off knot or frozen surface of wood, and pierces knee of thigh. The skilled man knows how to use his hand hook so it will do what he wants it to, but this fellow takes neither the time nor trouble to learn the slig skill which safety demands. A~cident Figures Show That Mondo Woods Workers Haye Twice as Many Accidents as Plant Workers By Courtesy 11 THE MANDONIAN,, Thirty years ago any paper mill which had operated a year without a dea'th would feel that it had done something special in the field of safety . The present downward trend of occupational injuries ha5 been accomplished, first, by removal of physical hazard; and better ~ousekeeping, and second, by persistent education. Attitudes have changed. Instead of the fatalistic "Oh well, these hazards are part of the job, we must expect some accidents to happen," on the pa,t of b_o th management and men, the view now is "Accidents can be controlled; unsafe conditions can be removed; and employe~s can be made safety conscious by education." What hos been accomplished in industry in general, and in our Mondo mills in particular, can be done in our logging operations. No improvement in safety was ever made through any other attitude than that "Accidents can be control led, and its everyone's job to do it.' There were 233 lost time injuries in Mondo logging camps in 1947, against 101 in the mills. Disregarding the frequency rate, this is a ratio of two to one. Let's look at the record and see what we may learn from these 233 accidents. The were 1 84 of these accidents that happend to men with less than six months service with the Company. In 102 of the cases there was no tool or equipment whatever involved. More than half of the mJuries were caused by the men being struck by objects, or striking themselves with tools, like axes and hand picks. About 80% of thern were due to unsafe practices :..ind poor working methods, including ignorance of the hazards connected with the job. Depicted below ore some of the more common of the needless accidents which put woods workers in the hospital, or at least caused loss of time and earnings. These reflect the general type of cases that could have been prevented by a little intelligent planning, common sense and ordinary care. Let us review them. No. 1. Carrying wood from the strip to pile along road; slips on icy spot or stumbles on root and falls, spraining back; chest or shoulders. Being on piecework, the more he hurries, the the more he makes, he thinks. Too much haste costs him money. No. 2. Undercutting tree, axe is deflected by a limb and cuts knee, foot or shin. A sure sign of a tenderfoot; he proves No. 4. In falling, the tree hits a stump or rock and bounces sidewise or backward, striking the man who had cut it. Often en error of judgment in putting in the undercut. Worker should observe anything which the tree might strike, and place his cut so as to avoid it No. 5. Rolling wood from end of pile with hand hook, to food load onto truck or sleigh, dislodges another stick, which falls on foot. A careful man will stand in the clear, and observe the lay of the sticks on the pile. One day should be sufficient to learn to do this job safely. No. 6. Swamping of limbing tree for cutting ir.t'? short lengths, and standing on same side of trunk with limb. Axe swing carries through and cuts foot, shin or knee. Too muct1 haste to convert the tree into wages. The wise cutter stands on the opposite side and keeps the trunk between his body and the axe swing. If this is impossible, a little practice shows how .-o swing the a;xe away from the body instead of towards it. ( No. 7. Bucking sticks or logs with Swede saw and holdin the operating hand on the frame at the fastening of the blade. Blade strikes ant hole or sliver and binds, hand being forced forward along the teeth. A bad practice. Ordinary horse sens':l dictates that the hand be placed above the sow blade. No. 8. A neglected cut or abrasion; treated it himself ar:d failed to get first aid; infection followed. With the facilities available in all camps, there con be f'IO excuse for such neglect. Always report all cuts and lacerations at once to the nurse, first aid man or foremar,, and have them properly cared for. These and similar coses indicate the causes of 80 per cent of the disabling injuries to Mondo woods workers. The remedies are just as clearly indicated. They ore forethought, common sen$e and avoidance of unnecessary haste, ar.d they con and must he learned by the worker5 There is no good reason why our woods operations cannot as free of accidents as those in our mills HALF-SAFE IS NOT ENOUGH. \- - - @ �OCTOBER, l 94~ LOG BOOK PAGE 13 ADVERTISERS' NEWS NESCO NEWS MORE POWER The need for more power to handle current applications more efficiently have resulted in the expanded line ot products in the future production picture of he "Caterpillar Tractor Company" according to an . nnouncement by the Powell Equipment Company Ltd. The announcement heralded the near future manufacture of ten new "CATERPILLAR'' products geared to completion of the current expansion of manufacturing of the Company's Peoria Plant. Of special interest to loggers are the four new 11 "CATERPILLAR Diesel Engines, each of which will be available as industrial power units, electric sets and marine engines. All emphasize the "CATERPILLAR" 11 theme of a complete power packagen providing the the advantages of a single source of manufactur<=, parts and service responsibi I ity. Horsepower rating and models of the NEW ENGINES are as follows :D364 D375 267 H.P. 334 H.P. D386 D397 400 H .P. 500 H.P. Another new "CATERPILLAR" Product is the 1 ' 1DW 20 ' a four wheel tractor with a rating of 225 H.P. at full load and speed ranges up to 26 M .P.H . 1 Since the end of World War 11, "CATERP I LLAR ' has expended its line to include, ·beside the brand new items, improved and more powerful D8, D6, D4, and D2 track type tractors; the Diesel DW l O wheel type tractor straight type and angling type, hydraulic controlled bulldozers for all fine track type tractors. The production of pulp wood, due to its rapidly rising costs has been the critical concern of the pulp and paper manufacturer for some time past. A number of ideas have been put forward to increase production, several of which have been tried out. Notably among these is the Nesco slasher and loader which is no longer an experimental machine. It has fully justified the foresight of those who were instrumental in its design; capable of producting and loading over l 00 cords in an eight hour day, with not more than six personnel. This machine has eliminated the backbreaking labour with which this work was previously done. The trees are felled and the limbs trimmed off. They are then brought to the slasher with sulkies which carry a number of tree length logs at each trip according to their capacity. These logs are placed in para I lel to the powered horizontal conveyor which is an integral part of the slasher and are pulled onto the conveyor with a cross haul. The sawyer depresses a lever which puts the conveyor into motion bringing the log forward to a solidly 1 constructed stop. The 44 ' saw which is attached to a radial arm is then brought down and cuts off the the required length which is automatically elevated and loaded; the loading apron being raised and lowered hydraulically to suit . The Northern Engineering & Suppiy Company, Limited have now added hydraulic action to the saw radial arm and the tree length horizontal powered conveyor. Manual or hydraulic control is optional.

A lumber-jack sawing and chopping contest will be staged. It is planned in this connection, as a feature of the carnival. The plan is to have each company that wishes to enter a contestant hold contests in their camps and declare camp champions and by process of elimination declare a company champior. These company champions will then compet~ at the winter carnival in February. 1n this connection a committee will be appointed by the Operators' Association to draw up rules and regulations for the contest and it is planned to have a representative of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers' Un~on, Local 2786 as one of the judges. The following is an extract from an article by M. R. Wilson of the Canadian International Paper Company on "The Value Of Sawing Contests In Labor Relations.'· "Ordinarily there is little in average camp life to interest the worker except the daily routine of work. This, after a period tends to produce boredom and discontent, with the resultant bad effects which come from such conditions. It is a fact that the results of professional hockey games and prize fights are followed with great interest in most camps. However, in the average camp it is not possible to provide sports such as baseball, football, or hockey, and it is doubt- ful if the majority of woods workers, due to their background, could participate in such sports For these reasons other diversions must be found to satisfy the need for competitive sport, and sawing competitions are a natural. We believe that they are filling a part of that need very nicely. We have found that looking at a group of men who have w depot championships is not unlike looking at a grou of young athletes who could be candidates for a football or hockey team. They are generally young, cleancut and good living.. Such groups would be a credit to any industry Sawing contests are doing something to stimulate interests in care of tools and sawing technique. Great interest is shown in the winners' style and in the type of saw he has and how it's filed. Already as a result of our experiment we have men carrying their favourite saw blades to competitions in leather cases and they are guarded more carefully than a champ golfer would guard his favourite clubs. This care of tools and interest in technique is what we want to create, and cannot help but produce beneficial results for the industry An esprit de corps is obvious. Jobbers have been quite keen about their champions and have shown interest to the point of backing them with mone)t( Inspectors and instructors who have travelled from cam~ to camp while the contests were in progress, inform us that sawing contests and speculation as to winners was the chief topic of talk in the camps. This interest in the sawing competitions brings a possible sport right to the forest workers' back door and it is a sport in which 100 % of the employees may participate.

I tr ·st each member and recipient will continue to benefit from the useful information contained therein The theme of the last issue of the "Log LBook" was "Fire Prevention." From the experiences of the past few weeks the theme was obviously well chosen. The fire hazard throughout the province has created an explosive situation with a number of serious outbursts close to home. In other parts of the province the fire losses in green timber have been nothing short of catastrophic. Only through the hard work and efforts of the var'1ous Forestry DepartmJ:?nts in cooperation with the timber companies has the situation been brought under control •• It becomes obvions, however, that the situation may again break out more seriously this year. It behooves every single agency and citezen to become more conscious than ever of the terrible danaer which confronts the No. l industry of the Province~ It occurs to me that the Tmber Operators' Assaciation as an agency can be of greater assistance than in the past in meeting the problems of prevention of serious forest fire outbreaks and their suppression. I am not prepared to say what direction such assistance should take but I would like to suggest here that every member come to the next general meeting with as many constructive ideas as possible as to how we, as an association, can -help to bring about total "Fire Prevention'· / CONGRATULATIONSTo the Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited, on the publication ot the Booklet "Mechanical Logg:ng for Pulpwood" Mr. H.

N orthwestern 0 ntario district is now, more than ever, the nucleus of the forest industry and all indicat1ons suggest that the area will enjoy top place in the industry for many decades. This great advance has been achieved under the guidance of a few trained and professional men who have toiled diligently with a minimum of assistance from technicians. These men -long ago realized the necessity for technical aid if the pulpwood and saw logs were to be won economicallq from our forests. They urged the establishment of a training school from which they could obtain rangers, cruisers, junior forest engineers and similar subprofessional assistants. The faculties of forestry in our universities could not meet the demand for trained personnel. The graduates from these institutions could not adequately fill the myriad of jobs with the result that unskilled employees had to be trained as well as possible under difficult conditions. A brief concerning the type of training desired for forestry technicians was presented to the departments of education and lands and forests with the result that the present coure is being offered. The brief was based on the urgent need for trained personnel to fill the gap between the professional man and the rank and file of labour. It also stated the type of men required to fill the gap and what these men must have and be able to do. The various suggestions were made bearing in mind that the students would be principaliy men from Northwestern Ontario and would, upon graduation, put their training to use in the Lake Superior region. The Department of Education, who are sponsoring the Lakehead Technical Institute, requested that a selected committee form industry in our area, be appointed to make certain that the type of training i5 adequate and desirable. This committee wi II have an active part in recommending the curriculum and choosing instructors. It has been decided that the prime object of the course is to train men in the practical phase of fores!" work and forest management, so that they wll be capable of doing supervisory work in the woods and keepi ng our forest lands productive. The student wi 11 be thoroughly educated in the theory of forestry and the practical appiication of this theory. It is the intention and onus of the Institute to provide the operating companiest with desirable employees and to provide the ambitious forest workmen ar,d desirable students with a source of training which will allow them to advance to positions of responsibility in forestry. Applications to attend this course should be submitted to the principal, Lakehead Technica Institute, Port Arthur, Ontario.

Graham In the Valora District of the Great Lakes Paper Company, approximately 25,000 cords of pulpwood are hauled to railhead every winter.. On this haul, sleighs were drawn by three ton trucks. During the 1945-46 season, one semi-trailer was built and a few trips made with approximately 6 cords per load. The results were very satisfactory. Twelve semi-trailers were built in the company workshop during the summer of 1946 in order to change over the Valora haul from sleighs to all semitai ler~ The past two winters, the winter rail wood has been delivered from bush jammer at the strip road to railway cars, Valora, by semi-trailerrs. A very substantial saving has been realized as compared to hauling sleighs with the same type and number of trucks. The saving has been realized from reduced ice road maintenance, sleigh maintenance, truck chains, tires and general truck maintenance. The semi-trailers were used on two summer hauls during 1947. One, a ten mile haul from Dog River, Savanne District, while the other was a four mi le haul at Martin, Gull Lake Limit. The trailers proved very satisfactory as to operating cost and reduced the number of vehicles on the road thus reducing the accident hazard The semi-trailers were built in the Company workshop to the following specifications: Deck. 24 feet divided into four pockets.

Both buyers and sellers have been equally guilty of this pratice Times are1 changing, however, and scaling now is regarded as a profession. Is taught by competent instructors 1n established Forestry and Wood in Ranger schools. The big theme stressed by scaling w 1 instructors is fairness. Wherever a timber scaler's ser- P ices are required, whether it be for arbitration between compan·1es and cutters or for revenue between compan- 1 P ies and the Crown, the competent scaler records his tc measurements accuratelq, speedily and without fear ti or favour. In addition, he organizes his work so that ~ the movement of timber from the stump to its ultimate destination is not impeded c C Finally; a scaler is a referee between the buyers ; and sellers of rough cut wood products whose main duty is to reduce the difference of opinon as to quanl tity and quality which ·might exist between the aforementioned buyers and sellers to a minimum ................... A By Courtesy of the Timber Cullers Assn. The origin of scaling or measuring timber ic; probably as ancient as logging. When that timberoperator King Solomon logged the Forest of Lebanon, he no doubt used scalers to keep him informed periodically as to the quantity and quality of timber cut. No records exist as to the units of measurements used in those tar-off days, but one can presume that King Solomon, with all his wisdom, had no knowledge of the Doyle rule or the cord system of wood measurement. These were a 19th century creation of the fogging industry on the North American Continent. The Doyle rule has been adequately explained in the Scalers' Manual issued by the Department of Lands and Forests, Province of Ontario. In common with other log rules, a scaler take's no less than two measurements and records same . They are the length ond diameter of the log. The cord system of measurment 1s another story. Its origin is obscure but the following explanation is probably the truth. After the early settlers landed on this continent, in the course of time they were called on to produce fuelwood for the town dwellers. They used one-horse sleds for transportation. A load was piled on a rack with stakes eight feet apart and tour feet high. The wood was cut tour feet long. In a short time the purchasers and sellers of this fuel-wood referred to a load as a· cord Eventually this unit of measurement was adopted by large scale buyers of rough cut wood products, P.articularly pulp and paper mi I ls, largely because (a) the cutters of wood knew from experience what a cord meant, (b) it was a quick, simple method of measuring. The efficiency of th1s method ot wood measurement is proven by the fact that most of the pulpwood produced 1s sold on a cord basis. However, it has its drawbacks. The solid wood content of measured stacked wood varies. This variation is caused by loose piling, poor trimming of limbs etc. This often produced a difference of opinion as to quantity between the buyers and sellers of rough cut wood products. Disagreements became so common it was found necessary to hire men whose sole j'Jb in the woods was to measure the wood produced.· An interesting sidelight to the above is that scalers have occasionally been referred to as rogues with rules in AN EASY JOB As nearly everyone knows, an executive has practically nothing to do. That is, except to decide what is to be done, to tell somebody to do it, to listen to reasons why it should be done by somebody else, or why it should be done in a different way; to prepare arguments in rebuttal that shall be convincing and conciusive; to follow up to see 1f the thing has been done; To discover that it hasn't; To inquire why; To listen to excuses from the person who should have dooe it; To follow up a second time to see if the thing has been done, only to discoverThat it has been done incorrectly; to point out how it should have been done; to conclude that as long as it has been done it may as well be left as it is; to wonder if it is not time to get rid of a person who cannot do a thing right; to reflect that the person at fault has a wife and seven kids, and that certainly-- I I No other executive would put up with him for another moment, and that in al.I probability any successor would be just as bad and maybe worse; To consider how much simpler and better the thing would hav~ been done had he done it himself in the first place; To reflect sadly that if he had done it himself he would have been able to do it right in twenty minutes, but that as things turned out he himself spent two days trying to find out why it was that it had taken somebody else three weeks to do it wrong, and then realized that such an idea would strike at the very roots ot the belief of all employees that "An executive has nothing to do!'

"If you want to be a mechanic, you will easily find plenty of good books which will tell you what you need TO know. You will also find plenty of instructors and training shops." What about the young man who wants to make his living by logging? For him there is no good source of information to which he can turn. The books and courses on logging are for the logging engineers-not tor the fellow who uses the axe and crosscut. Why shouldn't there be a simple illustrated hand book which will tell the young woodsman (or the green woodsman) what he needs to know about the care and use of his tools and the best of the old and the new techniques of, and devices for logging? He needs to know the "tricks of the trade'' as much as anyone. We hope that these pages, together with other short papers like it, will finally be put together in a printed Northeastern Loggers' Handbook. We ore putting it out in this form first because there seems to be an urgent need for this sort of information; and because we need the help and advice of persons who know about logging in our region before printing. We want the the experienced logger to tell us what important things we have missed and where our advice is not good. We want the young man going into the woods for the first time to tell us what parts of it he finds hard to understand, to suggest how it can be made more useful to him.

These tests are under the supervision of Mr. L. Murphy, Chief Scaler and for the information of all companies here is Ci brief report from Mr. Murphy. It is emphasized that these Tests are far trom complete but is hoped that the information published herewith may lead to other companies making tests or, 1f tests have been made, to pass this valuable information to others through the medium of this booklet. PURPOSE. The purpose of these sinkage tests was from an operational viewpoint only. Soil conditions, wood densities, age classifications, etc. were not taken into consideration and the logs used were selected only as ta species Dog River, dropped several feet during the river drive so that it was impossoble to complete the test. How ever, at Valora, the monthly tests will be made through out the summer of 1948 to show the effects when this pulpwood 1s left in the water for two seasons. It is planned to make further tests in the various areas where delivery of pulpwood and logs is made b water transportation. CONCLUSIONS Sufficient tests have not as yet been made upon r which to base definite conclusions. However, it is conceivable that much of the annual sinkage loss on balsam pulpwood could be eliminated by early cutting. It is assumed that baisam cut during the winter season would suffer the same sinkage loss as green balsam cur in the summer and watered immediately. Note: Statistics to date are on page 9 (oppos·1te page) METHOD: Each log was numbered by means of a small metal tag before being placed in the water. Notes were recorded showing ( 1) the species, (2) whether the log was butt, centre or top, (3) the date cut, (4) the average diameter and (5) any apparent defect. The logs were securely boomed in a sheltered bay and each month thereafter a test for sinkage loss was carefully made. "We must beware of trying to build a society in which nobody counts for anything except the politicians and the officials, a society where enterprise gains no reward and thrift no privilege."

I fed the worms oat meal every day and they grew large and became very fat. One day I was hauling sawdust for the icehouse. The wagon-box had some holes in it through which the sawdust trickled out along the road. The worms were out playing in the yard and started to eat the sawdust.. I was very busy and forgot to put the worms in their box that night. The next morning the worms were all gone. I located them down by the sawdust pile at the mill. They had eaten so much sawdust during the night, they were all dead. ! borrowed an extra team of horses from our neighbour and we skidded the worms up to the yard where we sawed them up for firewood . The sawdust filled worms produced enough fire~ wood to keep our three box-stoves going all winter and we sold eleven cords to our neighbours.

A heavy wind rolling the booms: a broken boom, rounding-up a raft or a loading operationtion-any one, or a combination of these, may cause sticks of pulpwood or logs to get loose, drift away and become salvage wood. Each stick of pulpwood and each log is supposed to be stamped with the ownership mark of the company which cut' the wood. On actual practice, all sticks are not stamped). Under the laws of Canada and the United States, the ownership right to this wood is retained by the company whose stamp is on the stick and it is against the law and punishable under the criminal code for any unauthorized person or persons to take this wood without authority from the owner. To look after this salvage wood and to simplify and co-ordinate the distribution of salvage wood which is picked up, the Pulpwood Salvage Association was formed in 1938 as a non-profit organization by companies who had towing or rafting operations on Lake Superior and Lake Nipigon This year the shore-line from the Inter-national Boundry the Pigion River to Sault Ste. Marie is divided into nineteen areas and the shore-line of Lake Nipigon has been divided into six areas. Contracts are made between contractors (known as wood-pickers) and the Association, alloting the contractor a certain area and stating the terms and conditions of picking the shore-line and delivering the wood. There is very litttle towing and rafting on the south (United States) shore of Lake Superior now but some pulpwood is still towed across the lake. A check is kept on the south shore and when there is sufficie~t salvage wood accumulated in an area, a contract 1s let by the Pulpwood Salvage Association to cover the the salvage of the wood. When a wood-picker has filled his booms, the Pulpwood Salvage Association is notified and an officer of the association proceeds to the salvage storage and and checks the wood tor ownership. After this check arrangements ore made for the nearest compo~y _to take over the wood, or, if one company hos a mo1ontv ot wood ·i n the raft, they have first opportunity to take deliver) The company which takes delivery of the raft is. charged with the wood and pays the wood-pic~er. Companies who have wood in the raft are credited with their wood and at the end of each season on accounting takes place. Companies which have received the wood pay up for the perce~tage of it belongi_n~ t~ other companies and payment 1s made to the ongma1 owners of the wood. This arrangement works out very well and the salvaging of merchantible wood is controlled. Last year approximately 25,000 cords of pulpwood and log5 were salvaged.

All charges have been dropped against the persons arrested for trespassing at the residence of Lakehead University President w. G. Tamblyn on May 1. The Crown A ttor.ney was forced to withdraw the charges because Tamblyn, the cooplainant, failed to show up 1.n court Nov. 10th to testify-- even thoueh he had been subpoenaed by the Crown. In the New Canada September Special Supplement on Lakehead U., we reported that Tamblyn was afraid to come to court, and we were right. TAMBLYN SNUBB:i:m HIS NOSE AT THE COURTSt The Crown Attorney was called the ni ~ht before and told that Tamblyn couldn't come to the trial because he was in Ottawa. This is an outrageous snub at the courts, and OLM Chairman Gary Perly, who was representing most of the defendants, demanded that Tamblyn be punished for contempt of court. Provincial Oau~t Judge Duthie asreed tha~ it was serious that TaI!lblyn ignored a subpoena (which is like a court order to appear and give testimony) but said that he did not have the jurisdiction to prosecute Tamblyn and pointed out that ~he Crown Attorney could take action asai.n st Tamblyn. TAMBLYN LIED! The si tuatio.n became much more serious when it was discovered after the trial that Tamblyn wasn't in Ottawa at all, but was right here in Thunder Bay. THE CROWN ATTORHEY IS NOW CONSIDERING L.:..YING CRIMIN.AL CH..:iRGES AG.UNST W. G. TAMBLYN. Tamblyn thought he could use the courts for his own vindictive political purposes: - he was the complainant who caused the charees to be laid; -- then, as the boss of two of the defendants, Brian Leekley and Margie Wally, he fired them using their being arrested as justification before public opinion; -- he forced the 11 defendants, the Judge, the Crown Attorney, the police, and the witnesses to come to court 4 ti~es and to spend a great deal of time, money, and energy preparing a case; -- then, at the very last moment, 193 days after the event, Tamblyn didn't show up and caused the charges to be dropped. We demand that Tamblyn iJ111:1ediately rehire all those he fired and pay the losses of all those harmed by his actions.
