At present there are about 30 classes with 500 persons enrolled in camps in Northwestern Ontario and some 15,000 new Canadians in camps, minee, cities and towns in the province are taking advantage of the opportunity of learning English. The purpose of the classes is to give a working knowledge of the language to immigrants, without which they are handicapped in Canadian society and prevented from becoming a citizen. The success of the "Bunkhouse Classes" has been largely due to the efforts of clerks, scalers and other persons who have gone out of their way to lend a helping hand. Their efforts along with the co-operation of the companies have been appreciated . There are undoubtedly other camps in which a class could be arranged.

Harkness We have a lot of new and rather peculiar animals roaming around our woods these days. In outward appearance they resemble human beings to some extent. Like the moose, their range varies from time to time. Occasionaily they are to be found in the spruce and cedar swamps. Not infrequently, they are seen on the birch ridges. More often they run on the Jackpine flats, but the majority of them seem to prefer an atmosphere of desks, drafting tables, maps and similar paraphernalia. These animals are commonly known as "Arm-Chair Loggers." In this province, these animals are protected by law. There is no open season. Being usually lean and lanky, they have very little food value, and their pelts are considered worthless (except by the original owners), although a number of old time Loggers have occasionally contemplated skinning the few of them found in· the vicinity of camps. . There are several distinct species of Arm-Chair Loggers. The most common species found in the bush are Foresters and Logging Engineers. The less numerous species, the Civil Engineers and Mechanical Engineers, are more inclined to haunt the wide open spaces and better footing of the drafting office. The Crown lands of the Province of Ontario, induding woodland areas, are, strictly speaking, the property ot the residents of this province, and benefit derived from the ownership of Crown lands should benefit the people as a whole, either directly or indirectly. As being a resident infers that one is a taxpayer, and all of us appear to pay an appalling amount of tax with uncomfortable regularity, it is quite apparent that it is in everyone's interest to manage these Crown lands in the best and most business-like manner. Crown lands throughout the province include more than 130,000 square miles of productive forest land. This is, therefore, a big and serious business, and requires the full attention of a staff of specialists trained in the growing, protecting, and managing of forest resources. It also requires specialists in the fields of entomology, pathology, agronomy, hydrology, and a host of other intricate and interrelated ffelds. Last, but by no means least, the conservation of forest inhabitants fish, birds, game, fur-bearing animals, and lumberjacks must be carefully studied and taken into account in the final province wide forestry program. Who are these specialits? Many of them are Arm-Chair Loggers. Within a Company organization a great deal of planning and preparation is necessary before the axes and bucksaws are handed around. Each operating Company is responsible to the government of this province for the management, development, and protection of Crown lands allotted to them for the production of forest products. These products may be logs, posts, poles, pulpwood, or any or all of a number of commodities necessary for the maintenance and improvement of the present standard of living of the people of the Province of Ontario. Unlike farm crops, tree crops require from 80 to 150 years to reach maturity, depending on tree species, site and climatic conditions. This means, of course, that present actions wi 11 not only affect this year's operations, but will also affect woodland harvests a generation from now. The application of an unsound forest policy today may mean a scarcity materials, paper products, heating materials ical products in years to come. This, agai tremely serious matter and requires all t knowledge, skills, and tools of the Arm-C if we are to keep our forests and available in good productive condition.

Forest Depletion from Trunk Rots The greatest loss from disease in mature and overmature forests is brought about by the destruction of the heartwood of living trees by wood-destroying fungi. In most species this defect is largely a hidden defect and pathological studies have shown that decay losses for any one species may vary considerably according to age, site, locality, etc. There are also great variations in susceptibility between different species. In the past, gross errors in estimating the am ::iunt of decay have been responsible for the rejection of large areas of valuable timber; and, in other cases, operators have become bankrupt because insuffici.e nt • allowances were made for decay. It is apparent that the usual method of allowing for decay in cruising timber, the application of a percentage figure to cover these losses, will not be satisfactory unless the figure is representative of the area under consideration. Allowances based on other areas or regions will not usually be applicable to new unsampled areas . Yet the basic requ irement in the utilization of mature and overmature timbe r is the fundamental knowledge of what losses will be encountered in stands of different ages on different sites; what net volumes may be realized under present standards of ut ilization; and what losses may be anticipated if stands are left for future cutting . There is a relationship between the amount of decay and the age of the tree . The spread of decay-causing JUST LIKE MONEY fungi is brought about mainly by wind-born which reach branch stubs or other wounds tha into the heartwood of living trees.

S. Richardson • Mechanical pulp or groundwood was first manufactured on a commercial scale in Central Europe during the middle of the nineteenth century. In North America, Charles Fenerty of Halfiax produced small amounts of paper from groundwood . pulp in 184,4, but it was not until 1867 that- any quantity 9f _groundwood pulp w~s sold. The records show that two . ~~ lls, .. one at Valleyfield, Quebec, and one at . Curtisvifle, Mass., made the first sales almost simultaneously. _At t~at t'ime 'the pulp contained very little long papermaking fibres and was used only as a filler, and since it was cheaper ,rapidly replaced the more expensive chemical wood and rag pulps. Very little attention WqS paid to the quality of the filler as long as it was cheaper and the cost ·duing this period was $160.00 a ton as compared to $100.00 a ton in the present market. At first poplar wood was the chief raw material but as soon as the process developed and new woods tried, the spruce and balsam soon proved their superiority both from the aspect of quality of pulp and the ease with which they could be floated to the mi II in contrast with poplar which will float only a short time. The present methods of manufacture are basicly the same as in 1864 except for increased s(ze and capacity. The improvement in quality in' the past three decades is due to refinement in stones, in means and methods of preparing the stone surface, and to the improved control on operating variables. These changes have improved the pulp from a weak flour-like pulp to one containing long papermaking fibres. The grinding process involves a gritty grindstone mounted on a heavy steel shaft and revolved by a source of power, usually an electric motor. The wood to be pulped is placed on the surface of the stone with its length parallel to the width of the stone, and pressed upon the surface of the grindstone by means of a pressure ram. In this way mechanical abrasion causes a separation of the small wood fibres that make up the wood structure. In the pit beneath the grinder, water is sprayed upon the face of the stone. The heat generated by the friction between the wood and the stone is absorbed from the stone surface, the fibres are washed from the stone and the pulp diluted. Because the grinding process results in a pulp containing large slivers and knots, the pulp from the pit is screened through ,sucsessi"'.'ely_ finer\· screens w~ich remove the imperfect m·aterial and produce a uniform papermaking fibre. Mechanical pulp is used in the cheaper grades of paper and board which are used for a short period ?f time , then destroyeq. Deterioration takes place in .these papers on exposure to light and air because of chemical changes resulting in loss of strength, color and finish or smoothness of the sheet. It is usually mixed with -small amounts of chemical pulps to make newsprint, wallpaper, book paper, cheap tissues, wrapping, gag and building papers. Boxboar9 and ~al_lboard contain large amounts of groundwood and 1t 1s ~- · also used to absorb explosives in the manufacture of dynamite. In a modern grinder room such as at the Great Lakes Paper Company, Limited, the practice is to mount two stones of 67" diameter and 54" wide on one shaft connected to a 5,50Q h.p. motor. This motor cpsrates at a shaft speed of 257 r.p.m. res stone face speed of 4,600 f.p.m. Two grin are mounted, one on each side of a stone, adjustable and move closer to the stone as wears.

"Well," he mused, "Jim ain.' t one to talk just to hear the music of his own voice; he probably figures as long as yo1i got brains enough to be straw push, you will use them to deliver the goods. What's the orders " "Huh," grunted the other, kicking at a root, "Jim knows, and we all know that we're having too many accidents around here. Almost all of them come from guys slashing themselves with an axe, or falling over a stump, or lifting the wrong way, or drol?ping a pulpwood stick on their toe5, or getting crowned by a w1dowmaker, or oh, don't know; it seems, if there's a way to get hurt he'll find it sooner or later.

'I'm on the wrong side now, and if that crow bait there turned the corner up ahead I might get caught unless I stepped over the log. No, I never got it that way, but I've seen it done, and it's no good. But while we're talking about safety, how about you carrying that axe on your shoulder?" The straw boss reddened_ up, but had to laugh. "You got it on me there . Mike," he admitt~d. "It's the wrong way; I should carry it in my hand, close to the axe head. You know, habits of 25 years are hard to break. Next time you catch me doing that, you win yourself a roll of snuff." As he walked away he muttered to himself, "just goes to show -- if you're going to talk safety you got to practice what you preach .

But a man isn't getting out much wood while he's in the hospital from an accidetn, so it's up to us to keep them safe and healthy - then we'll all benefit." - ThP Mandonian m," hailed the boss, "pretty catty you are on your ng; that was c1 good tast move you made, getting that log.

CANADIAN BUCKSAW CHAMPION WORKING AT ONTARIO PAPER COMPANY AGAIN During the Fort William Carnival in Championship Bucksawing Contest was hel William. At that time, woods companies in ern Ontario staged camp competitions and champions to this banner event. There is not event such as the Winter Carnival in No Ontario so it is not always possible to tie in contest. However, the bucksaw contest pr interesting and there were many entries fr the camps. It is suggested that consideratio to holding a bucksaw contest on a camp though it is not possible to declare compa and send the winners to Montreal. Such contests are well worthwhile in th low men in the woods to take part in compe and at the same time demonstrate their abili saw. Ludovic Cyr, who won the Canadian Bucksaw Championship at the Canadian Pulp & Paper Association, Woodlands Section Meetina in March 1951 is again working at camp No. 44 of the Ontario P;per Company at Hem lo, Ontario. While the Editor has not been able to contact Ludovic to ascertain his intentions for the coming C.P.P.A. Woodlands Section 1952 ~han:pion~hip, it is almost certain that Cyr will be fighting hrs way through the Ontario Paper Company camp competitions and it is quite possible that he will once again represent that Company at Montreal next March. . T~e dates for the Canadian Bucksaw Cham(>ionsh1p Finals have been set for the evenings of March 26th and 27th, 1952, at the Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, P.Q.

Kantola _ That stupid, good-for-nothing young upstart! What does hP. know about logging? I've been logging for 25 years and no one ever told me to do things that way! _ What is the matter, Ben? - Look, for 25 years who has been rated a topnotch logger- in his district? Who has gone into the woods and ,:ome out with real good costs and never left a stick behind? Clean as a whistle, and now that - -college guy is trying to tell me that I can't do things that way any more! _ r)id he get tough? - No. Well, maybe he has something. Certainly we have to be good loggers, but do you remember the time those ~ame college Joes told us that we would have to smarten up our logging technique if we were to stay on the wagon and we didn't like it too much, and that wasn't too long ago. We don't go pushing them around too much now because they have some pretty good stuff to c.ell. Well, we are getting beyond the "just cut" stage now. The mills are demanding more and more wood because people like the stuff and we are here to see that they get it. But we can't go on "just cutting" forever; the country isn't big enough, and that is why he ic. asking you to make a few changes again. - What do you mean by "just cutting"? - Well, take yourself - you just said that you had been rated as a top-notch logger for 25 years •how much thought have you ever given to the fact that maybe a "clean as a whistle" cut wasn't just the thing to do if yott were going to bring back another crop as good or better than the one you just cut? And after all, we are very lucky to be working with trees which can grow again rind give us a double jump on the miner for instance who can only take out ore. We can take out wood and leave something growing for the next man, so we can have> double satisfaction of good logging and a new crop chasing us right behind the cut. Cutting is good; it is rightful that we should use what nature gave us, but let us do it with an "educated" axe. Nature does not always do things the. easy way and, therefore, it needs men who have done a lot of studying of her queer ways to make some rhyme and reason out of the situation so that it might give us a few hints as to how we can best help ourselves. That is just what that young f~llow is doing. He looks at the same things as you do, but with another slant - that is all. That 2lder swamp or moose maple ridge you send monthly men into to brush out the strips could get it cut not only means more logging him but is also a terrific problem in the next bringing back to a productive stage the land just been cut over. There are two ways o.f bringing back then one, by having nature do the work with her o inery, or then by you and I taking seed from f which we have to collect first in tHe form of d then extract and store them, then prepare a just as you would your garden plant the 1hen hope that the mice and birds and other don't steal all your seed before it has a chanc or, after it starts, that the weather won't be too cold or that it isn't too wet or too dry; grow these trees in a nursery, which costs pl move therP into the woods and finally plan man hand planting spruce in our cut-over aJ'i very well to average 400 trees a day, which equivalent of l /3 of an acre if you are goin area up completely. And when you think of of acres you cut over each year, it means a work in a v€ry short time. But in whatever about reaching the same goal, you still hav more energy and ingenuity to come up wi answer. The ground on which the trees grow place to '1old the tree up or sometl-aing t building anrl skidding easy or tough.

OPERATORS OF NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO" WHOLESALE GROCERIES, FRUITS & VEGETABLES, TOBACCO, ETC, The Stadia Method For Block Pile Surveys By W. M. Kosny It is essential that quantities of storage wood at pulp and paper mills be known at all times in order that woods operations and wood deliveries can be intelligently planned, and als0 to serve as a check on the amount of wood being processed in the mill. To determine the quantity of wood on hand in these storage piles - commonly known as block pile3 - it is necessary to measure the volume in cubic feet and then to convert into standard units of volume, such as cords, cunits, etc., by using a suitable conversion factor. A standard and widely used method for carrying out the measurements of a blockpile is a survey using .an engineer's stadia rod and an engineer's transit equipped with stadia crosshairs. Before building up a blockpile it is necessary to make a thorough ground survey by traverse and elevations to establish each of the followinq steps. Reference Points These points are located by running a closed traverse arouqd the outer limit of the area to be occupied by the blockpile; the points should be so located that they can be used for the lifetime of the pile without fear of loss or distortion by movements. Very frequently mill piling areas are permanent locations; if they arr:?, much surveying time can be saved bv setting permanent monuments such as concrete bases, steel rods, or pins, wooden posts, etc., to below frost levels, with a mark (usually a chiselled cross or centre punch hole) for locating the exact point. Elevations of these points should be determined and marked thereon. A wooden -stake painted a brilliant color and driven into the ground nearby but away from the sightlines, with about 5 feet projecting, is of great assistance in locating the monuments in winter. It is also a help to have the station number and elevation thereof stenci Iled on the stakes. Four such monuments, or stations, located at each of the corners occupied by the block.pi le rectangle are necessary. Any intervening stations can be located wherever it is advantageous to have them - they can be so placed as to make maximum stadia distances around 300 fr,et. All horizontal angles between the monuments should be taken with the transit, and distances between them accurately chained. Ground Levels In most cases much preparatory work such as clearing, filling and levelling is done on an area chosen to receive the blockpile. Before piling operations are begun, however, it is necessary to establish the average level if the area is reasonably flat. If the a with many noticeable hollows or knolls, a will be needed. A quick and reasonably ac od for taking ground levels is to stake ou of squares having 25 ft. to 75 ft. sides (I wi 11 govern accuracy) and determine the these intersections bv sighting on a stadia transit set level, or a levelling instrumen ions so take11 should be with reference t corner stqtions or monuments.

Elevatcalculated for all points that were sighted, with to the corner stations. After a contour plan has been prepared the area of each of the cuts or slices is easily measured by using a planimeter. The volume of each of these slices is then calculated by taking an average of the bottom area and the top area and multiplying by its thickness, or height. In formula V o Iume equa Is ((Area base plus area top)) x height. 2 It is mentioned here that the above method of calculating ic; different than the longer and more accurate formula for obtaining the volume of a frustrum of a cone, but the error introduced due to the difference is almost n~gligible for any blockpiles that are 50 ft. high or over. The final result, which is the total volume of the blockpile, is obtained by addition of the volumes of each of the cuts or slices. Determination of the volume of a blockpile is a straightforward engineering problem carried out with standard surveying and plotting methods to whatever degree of accuracy is required and, as mentioned previously, is qoverned by the experience and preference of the personnel involved in this work.

September 19th, 1952. As an iritroduction, Professor J. 0. Wilhelm, at the request of the Chairman N. F. Lyon, _reviewed. the history and formation of the N.W. ~ntario Com,:n1ttee on Co-ordinated Research. He reviewed the history, tee on Forestry of the Research Counci I of Ontario, starting with the 1949 meeting of the Advisory Committhrough subsequent meetings in 1950 an? 19_52 and terminating with May 8 - 9, 1952, meeting in Port Arthur at which the local committee was formed. - The purpose of this committee was t? make an attempt at co-ordinating all forest research 1n the area and also to ensure that all interested parties are made aware of the research that is going forward. Among the subjects discussed was the financing of projects, library services and requirement~ in Nor_thwestern Ontario, distribution of research information and a brief outline of the Black Sturgeon Management Project. The next meeting will be held during the coming winter and an attempt wi 11 be made at that ti me to establish a general program of work following the ri:?commendations of the May 1952 meeting. ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING FOR THE BLACK STURGEON MANAGEMENT PROJECT HELD A meeting of the Work Committee formed at the July meeting of the Advisory Committee on Forest Biology was held in Port Arthur in August 1952. The purpose of the meeting as outlined by Chairman P. Addison was to design a specific co-ordinated project to be undertaken as a joint effort in a spruce budworm attacked area whereby information could be obtained which would be of value in the future management of similarly disturbed area. In addition, the study areas were to be established in such a manner that the co-operating agencies could utilize the same areas for other specific purposes relating to their own work (silvicultural, entomological, pathological, woods operating, 'etc.) thus avoiding the unnecessary duplication of work and expenditure. The project is a long term study of the stand changes (deterioration or development) occurring in budworm attacked areas. To accomplish this, it was decided then, that reserve areas where on cutting disturbance would take place, should be establised in the predominant "budworm host" cover types on the predominant sites of the budworm attacked areas of the Black Sturgeon Concession of the Great Lakes Paper Company. Site condition, type of a study area, necessary variables such as age, site, degrees of infestation and damage, cover types, treatments etc., were all discussed. It was decided by the meeting that the Division of Timber Management would be the central controlling body and that the other agencies would be subsidiary to that agency during the period of establishment. It was agreed that the Division of Forest Biology, Division of Research and Division of Timber Management would contribute the necessary personnel and vehicles to start the project. The co-operating agencies are the Divi Forest Biology of the Dominion Department of ure, the Divisions of Research and Timber Man of the Ontario Department of Lands and Fore the Great Lakes Paper Co. CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF TREES DISCUSS At a oanel discussion on Chemical Debar by the LakP.

The periods of training at the Ranger School consist of about three-quarters field work and one-quarter classroom work and lectures. Field studies are carried out in the University Forest which contains many of both hardwood and coniferous trees, a representative population of birds, including game birds; small animals as well as game and fur-b,e aring animals; and waters in which fish abound. A complete course at the Ranger School requires three terms of eleven weeks each. The first term is designed to provide basic training and is a probationary period. _During the first and second terms, instruction is programmed to provide training in all operations and activities met with in the field by Lands and Forests and forest industries personnel. Thi rd term courses are more specialized in nature. Students who have completed the first two terms successfully are obliged to enroll in one of the major divisions of third term work. Term examinations are held at the discretion of the instructors or- by order of the School Advisory Councii. Students who comply with all the requirements of the courses are granted a certificate.

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.

In the mc311aged development of the area a period of up to ten years is allowed for recovery" of the cut stand under an area allotment system of regulation. In the normal course many relatively pure, evenaged jackpine stands are harvested. Early there was indication that adequate recovery of these stands could be viewed with pessimism, particularly on the dry flats common to the area. Unless economic modifications in operating techniques and/or supplementary practices could be brought to bear successfully on this condition, the long-term management of the area would be seriously upset. Attention has been focussed on the problem. In 1948 a comprehenisve research study was undertaken in co-operation with the Federal Forestry Branch and the Pulp and Paper Research Institute. The project has been carried to a conclusion. A report describing the study will be published soon. The findings, though not providing a panacea, are being acted upon through extended studies over the three administrative districts the Company maintains in the development of the Concession. Oversimplified and in common with many of our species, the conditions which give rise to jackpine regeneration are: mineral soil plus seed-in direct combination. The rub comes in dealing with the first and third criteria mentioned. Due to jackpine's norma! habit of storing its seed on the tree the second is usually primarily favourable. Studies in the Lake States show that there may be in the neighbourhood of two million seeds for potential distribution on an acre. The initial research project tested a range of practicable operating methods, with and without supplementary treatment in the clear cutting of a pure jackpine stand. From this study and observations throughout the operations, it became evident that the degree of success in creating a desirable seedbed varied directly with the CONCENTRATION of effort in advancing the wood to the main road. The old-time strip with hand-loaded sleighs and winter haul yielded virtually no preparation. The modern bundle or tree-length yarding and mechanical skidding yields relatively intensive preparation on up to 20 per cent of the area -with distribution being a resultant problem . In ali cases the presence of seed on these receptive micro areas is left to chance without further heedful treatment. Three major stimulii to the advancement of the program have taken place. First was the devoting of one district in 1951 to specialized mechanical logging, with emphasis on experimentation and analysis. From this, adaptable techniques which are viewed optimistically are introduced elsewhere on the Concession. Secondly, in 1950 a Demonstration Management Plan was undertaken for a major watershed in co-operation with the Federal Forestry Branch, by which advisory and assessment services are provided by the Branch, and most significant, it is Company policy that all operational plans must provide for inclusion of steps required to establish an adequate second crop. Where non-merchantable potential is indicated a vital area (either cutover, or naturally so) effort been made to study under a system of applied ex ment, variations on the theme "mineral soil plus s in direct combination." In chronological sequence fr 1949 the studies under way which are pointed to problem, are as fol lows: * ( 1) Orchard-type second growth jackpine, burn on a dry site.

Since World War 11, the volume of seasonal unemployment has been increasing year by year, as the pressures on our manpower resources for abnormally high production levels eased off after the war's end. At the same time, the distance from peak to trough in employment has widened as the number of workers employed by the seasonal industries increased. Seasonal unemployment is costly. In addition to a tremendous loss in productivity, it has been estimated that as much as 150 million dollars are lost each year in wages and purchasing power, while more than 93 million dollars were paid out in unemployment insurance benefits from December 1952, to April 1953, mostly to people seaonally unemployed. The National Advisory Council on Manpower in 1952 asked the National Employment Committee (advisory body to the National Employment Service) to institute a foll investigation. As a first step, the committee drew up a questionnaire which was sent to more than one thousand employers in nine-just for the pleasure of getting a job teen seasonal industries.

Last week, at the C.C.l.'s annual convention in Toronto, labor's elder statesman showed why he has also earned the respect of Canadians outside the ' labor movement for his common-sense grasp of the economic facts of life. "We must face certain realities." Mosher told the 950 union delegates. "The need for aggressiveness and courage is apparent to every thoughtful member of the labor movement, but blind and reckless adventure cannot properly be placed in either of the:;e categories . . . We must anticipate that in some instances situations will occur where competition for markets will result in workers being faced with the unhappy choice of either foregoing further wage increases . . . or having their industry go out of business . . . In an economy where private profits are the dominating factor in industtry, we have no alternative but to ensure sufficient profit to keep industry in motion, or be faced with unemployment.'' . Such words of caution, coming from a top labor leader, emphasized the troubles some of Canada's industries face. The textile industry is hard-pressed by foreign competition. Overproduction plagues the farm-implement industry. Increased use of oil and natural gas threatens the coal industry. Indiscriminate wage increases in such fields would be disastrous. Mosher's listeners were impressed. They included in their statement of economic policy a sentence recognizing that wages in depressed industry need not always be increased. They also re-elected Mosher president of ~he C.C.L for another year. (Excerpts from the Monthly Letter of The Royal Bank of Canada) STANDARDIZATION - The great value of standardization is that it relegates to the field of routine the problems that have al. ready been solved, thus leaving our faculties free for problems that are still unsolved. SIMPLIFICATION When we use our talent, resources, skill and time in the best possible way, then we may say that our task has been simplified. To simplify is to organize common sense to find better and easier ways of doing a job without waste of time, energy and materials. . .. However, to make all wcrk, people and jobs standard would rob life of its diversity, make it uninteresting, and infringe upon its freedom. DELEGATION OF RESPONSIBILITY - • Delegation of responsibility is an important function. It shouid be done in such a way that the duty and authority of every subordinate is clearly understood by him and those who work with him. EFFICIENCY Efficiency is the expenditure of a given amount of energy so wisely directed that a task is completed in the lea5t possible space and after the least possible lapse of time. There are many who have found their whole day made easier by tackling their most unpleasant or most difficult task first, and disposing of it. Others have learned to change direction frequently, moving from one area of their responsibility to another. Still others have no p.:1rticular order but do mal-:.~ it a rule to work steadily and relax period• ically.

It is estimated that the volume of these ,oon. es wi II total about 1,800 cords. Two types of stand were treated. The first was pop!ar of 65-70 years of age on which the bark was atively thin and smooth. Treating crew in this type stand consisted of five girdlers, two applying chemI and one foreman, for a total of eight. Production raged 20 cords per man day in this type .of stand. mical consumption was one gallon of sodium arsenfor each 50 cords. a tour of In the second area the poplar was about 120 years age. The trees were large and_the bark was up to -half inch thickness. Ordinary girdling tools were nd ineffective in this heavy-barked stand. Best res were obtained by blazing off a piece of the bark ake an opening and then breaking the bark around an ordinary peeling spud . It was necessary in this to increase the number of girdlers from five to n. Production was about 22 cords per man day in stand, and chemical consumption one gallon for ords. Men were equipped with rubber gauntlets and fly nets to avoid irritating fly bites, with gauntarrying chemical solution. While there was some tion of fly bites, apparently caused by the chemthere did not appear to be any particular hazard the material if reasonable precautions were Project RC 17 •Inspected Project RC-17 which started in May 1953 with an announcement by the Premier of Ontario was inspected by the Forestry Sub..!Committee of the Ontario Research Council recently. The purpose of RC-17 is to increase and to create conditions favouring the natural reproduction of spruce for pulpwood on the mixed wood slopes in the Lakehead region where, in some instances, the valuable softwoods have failed to re-establish themselves. This project is on the limits of the Ontario Paper Company near Heron Bay, Ontario, and taking part in the experiment are the following organizations: The Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, Research Counci I of Ontario, University of Toronto, Federal Department of Northern Affairs and Resources, Pulp and Paper Research Institute, Abitibi Power and Paper Company Limited, Ontario Paper.Company Limited.

Representatives of the Mechanical Department H. Langtry and J. McLaughlin also spoke. The annual Foremen's Meetings of the Ont Minnesota Pulp & Paper Company Limited are I forward to by the foremen and there were many ments that this year's meeting was the best yet would appear that the attitude the supervisors are ing towards these meetings is that they are an 0 unity for an exchange of ideas and methods.

More years of experience are behind the track parts that churn their way through sticky, soupy material. Caterpillar track-type Tractor parts are built for extreme conditions like this. That's why you should always replace original parts with genuine Caterpillar parts to be sure your job keeps going at top efficiency. You get more work hours in rock from tracks built to take a pounding like that shown below. As your Caterpillar Dealer, we can tell you the story of "Hi-Electro" hardening that builds extra resistance against wear and shock in Caterpillarbuilt track shoes, track links, pins and bushings. Whether your job is abrasive sand or granite rock, there's a bonus benefit in the proved performance of your Caterpillar track-type Tractor. LONG LIFE .HERE �Caterpillar track-type Tractors have ticked away millions upon millions of working hours. With this background we've been able to compare Caterpillar performance with all others. We've compared performance of Caterpillar parts with substitutes. Based on these comparisons and our experience in the field, improvements are constantly being madeimprovements that help you get your jobs done on time-at a profit! Let us tell you what goes on in the factory ... in research, engineering, manufacturing and inspection. Track design first begins with research. Track rails, rollers, shoes and grousers are constantly under study. Special machines in Caterpillar laboratories put track parts and assemblies through grueling tests, such as would never be encountered in the field. Manufacturing is equally as exact and precise. Final inspection makes certain that parts go into assemblies that are certain to give you the long life built into every individual part. As your Caterpillar Dealer, we will stand behind that performance ... we will assure you more continuous hours of work . . . and we can show you that your best buy is a genuine Caterpillar part for your Caterpillar Diesel Tractor. EGINS HERE I THE CATERPILLAR RESEARCH LABORATORY, on the machine shown at the right, track rails are given "torture treatment" far exceeding any job condition. For example, with grouser shoes supported only at the ends, tremendous pressure is applied to the shoe, constantly rolling back and forth on the rail surface. Stresses many times greater than any job are developed to determine the endurance qualities of this important track part. Is it any wonder Caterpillar owners insist upon Caterpillar-built parts?

UNREEL THEM CORRECTLY RIGHT WAY TIPS . . . unload reels carefully- don't "dump" them . . . keep the rope taut and do not allow the ends to rotate . . . do not disturb the seizings on the ends of the rope. Here's why Wrights' ropes are better. Heavy duty, long - lasting lubricants between the strands make them last longer. Preforming of the wire strands allows them to lie naturally giving a stronger rcpe. The best grade of high strength English steel provides integral strength and lasting qualities. Call the Wrights' representative listed below. Kenna nk on this awhile try another tack: a rnan a smileII likely get one back ! Once a k:nk has been made in a wire rope the damage is permanent. Nothing will take it out. The main thing to remember in avoiding kinks is to prevent small loops from forming. The wire rope reel should be set up on an axle, as shown, and the rope pulled off by hand or power. Care taken in unreeling will lengthen the life of your ropes many times.

In some industries, seasonal unemployment is caused by the direct effect of the . climate. Farming is an obvious example, as are inland shipping, logging and the construction of roads and bridges. In other industries, the ups and downs of employment are caused largely by custom and the habits of the consumer associated with the changing seasons. The weather cannot be changed, but habits can, and it is in this second group of industries where the most fruitful field for further efforts is to be found. The report entitled "Seasonal Unemployment in Canada" is now available from the Department of Labour. If you wish to get a copy of this report, request same from your nearest National Employment Service Office. Editor's Note: There are many factors affecting seaosnal unemployment in the woods industry. Operators spend a great deal of time studying this problem and steps have been taken to partially overcome the seasonal unemployment problem. This subject is receiving constant study from the industry as a whole and there certainly has been a levelling off of the peaks and valleys of unemployment in the last few years. -•- Sawn lumber production (nation-wide) fell 19% in the first six months of this year. BC output fell 4%. The half-year's output of sawn lumber and ties in BC totalled 1,899,327,000 f.b.m. as compared with 1953's l, 986,227 ,$00.

In June of this year, Mr. Joseph Synak, a pulpwood cutter at 0-M Camp P-206 in the Patricia limits, was carrying on his routine duties of cuttrng pulpwood . He had felled a large spruce tree and when the tree dropped, it struck a birch tree causing it to sway. Mr. Synak watched .all this and it did not appear to him that the top of the birch tree had been broken off He, therefore, went about his duties and as he moved in to start limbing and bucking the spruce tree, the broken top of the birch tree fell and struck him on the head. The top was ·about 12 feet long and about 5 to 6 inches in diameter at the large end. prepared a report on the "USE OF RECORDS PERSONNEL PURPOSES IN WOODS OPERATION This report formed the basis of a panel discu at the Industrial Relations Section Fall . meeting Montreal in October.

S. Hyslop While the present fire season is still fresh in our minds, thi.s might be a very opportune time to sit back and look at it rather critically for a few minutes. The Lakehead area in general had a more fortunate fire season than some other areas this past summer. We did have a few more fires than ordinarily, but the acreiage burned was considerably under the average for the period of the l 940's. Regardless of statistics, we did have too many fires and too much valuable fore~t land burned over. Protection of our forests from fires is elementary to any sound poli.cy of timber management. Without adequate protection✓ no timber management program is worth the paper it's written on. Al I woods operations produce as a by-product a great deal of slash, which, whenever green species are cut, dries out and becomes very inflammable for several years following. Some small attempts have been made to dispose of this debris by lopping or burning, and some of it has been hogged. All of these methods are labour consuming and extremely costly. Experiments have been conducted to use certain slash, such as for the distillation of essential oils, but again the operation is marginal financially. It is doubtful if a large proportion of the total slash produced will be used for any purpose in the forseeable future. This slash remains a constant fire hazard in the forests of the Lakehead and elsewhere. The title of this article is "Fire Proofing Woods Operations." What can we do to reduce the, fire hazard where trees are cut in the forests? Cutting opererations require a great deal of man power, and these men have to be housed in camps in the forested area. Unfortunately, man is a major cause of fire as he is inclined to be a bit careless at times. So we have a constant educational program through various means such as posters, movies, forest fire prevention talks, and personal contact, to stress protection. This instructional program is continually being expanded and improved. It reaches practically all woods workers, and undoubtedly, has done a great deal of good . The educational program cannot be allowed to slacken. Both the owners of the timber and the operators who cut it must continue to co-operate and strengthen this effort. Fi res have been known to start from camp areas and from the camps themselves. There are regulations covering the clearings around camps, etc., which are carried out. There are a few other points that are worthy of being kept in mind when any new camp is set up. For instance, if possible, the camp could be located on a point in a lake or along the lakeshore with a creek or wet swamp at the rear so that fires are less likely to spread from the camp area to the surrounding bush. If possible, the camp might be located on the west side of a lake instead of on the east side so that prevailing wi nds would take any sparks from the camp chimneys into the lake. Chimneys built of permanent fire resistant materials should be placed on all camps which have a life expectancy of several years. Suitable spark arrestors should be in place. Since tar paper is extremely inflammable, its use should be discouraged and rockfaced roofing used instead. Better materials cut down camp maintenance and, therefore, may be less costly in the long run. The trend today in many on a semi-permanent basis. system is gradually extend 1 and from the cutting areas by truck or bus for considerable distances. For this type of operation, long term fire protec,tion planning should be a must. A strip of green bush may be left along the main access road unti I the final year of cut. This strip not only prevents drifting snow in winter, but more important, the standing trees shade the forest floor and so slow down the drying out of the fuels underneath. If the camp is planned for say a l 0-year cut, it should be . possible for the operator to lay out his cut for the first 5 or 6 years so that no areas of slash are joined, but are separated by stands of green timber. When the time comes to cut the intervening green timber, the adjacent slash will have partly disappeared In the interval, due to the increased seed supply, regeneration of the, older cut-over may be improved. A study of actual fire behavior in recently cutover la nds reveals some facts that any operator might well consider. Ma,in haul roads are generally built down to mineral soil. Forest products may be skidded to these roads on a skidding trail which breaks up the fuels on the forest floor to some extent. Strip roads may run back from the main road and the wood piled by hand along the strip. Here the heavy slash is piled between the strips. Each haul road or strip road makes a break in the fuel pattern. There was one example this summer of a slash fire spreadi'ng very rapidly along £trips lying approxima1£·ely parallel to the prevailing wind direction, but the fire slowed down so that it could be readily fought when it ran into an area where the strips lay at right angles to the wind direction . We have no control over the direction of the wind for any given fire, but the whole slash area would be less inflammable if the direction of strips could be a,ltered as frequenitly as possible. Remember, every strip road no matter how poorly cleared, is a deterent to the spread of fire. Particularly on the flatter areas, the direction of strips may be optional. Therefore, use them to breiak up the fuel pattern. ( When we look at type maps or aerial photographs of our forest areas, patches of hardwoods show up quite prominenitly. These hardwood stands are proven fire . deterents except possibly wheire old white birch is en· countered. Take advantage of these types whenever possible. Evergreen slash in the lee of a hardwood stand, with respect to the prevailing wind, will not burn as rapidly as slash on the windward side. If possible, strips should be laid out at right angles to hardwood stands. Any slash fire might burn rapidly along :the strip~ of slash, but should be relatively easy to control at the edge of the hardwoods. Slope also has a definite effect on the spread of fire, so where convenient, locate the haul road along the slope parallel to the contour instead of in an up and down direction. We should always keep in mind in planning a logging operation that any break in the fuel pattern is cl de,terent to the spread of fire. We have mentioned all cla~ses of roads, green belts, and types of timber. Lakes, swamps, streams, rocky ridges, etc., must als be taken into account by the astute planner intereste in reducing the inflammability of slash areas in North western Ontario. Careful planning can contribute im mensely toward reducing the fire hazard on any oper a'.ing area at no extra cost. 1 One of a series of articles by members of Northwestern Ontario Section, C. I. F. �NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 1f 55 ~ LOG BOOK PAG~ 5 IMPROVING YOUR SUPERVISORY SKILLS The supervisor and the employee are continually dealing with each other. Of the two, the supervisor has the greater power to influence the relationship. How can he make himself a more skillful supervisor? 1. Change from the 'I' to the 'We' approach. The supervisor who is person-centered produces the most~ Understanding employees is the mark of a good supervisor. But wanting to understand people-wanting to help them do their jobs bette·r - is the first quality of a good supervisor. This desire isn't easy to attain unless one has learned how to live co-operatively in this competitive world. But, for real success as a supervisor, it must be accomplished. 2. Supervisors have got to WORK. They must train themselves to have courage in the tough fpots. Setting the example of enthusiasm and aggressiveness is a dominant characteristic of the best supervisors. Grappling vigorously and courageously with a tough problem not only gets the job done. Also, it encourages employees to co-operate. Some supervis-· ors feel that ju5t "keeping even" with things is all that is required. Actually, the supervisor should be out in front all the time. 3. Remember what you already know about human dealings. Don't let new-fangled ideas get the best of your own better judgment. Very little new has been found about the technique of dealing with people. But there is a great deal of useful knowledge within our own experience. If properly used, improved supervisory practices are inevitable. 4. Study your sensitive spots. These are the main barriers to good supervisory practices. We fail to understand ourselves. We quite naturally shy away from our sensitive, weak, embarrassing traits. We tend to cover up wherever we am "touchy." Understanding our own weak spots is the first step in developing and improving our own abilities.. 5. When successful in dealing with people, learn what you did. When unsuccessful, know where your mis~ takes were made. What approach succeeded with one person but failed with another? How do I know when I've been successful? These are questions we must ask ourselves. Learning to analyze situations in which we are involved is a most difficult, but necessary task. Learn· ing from successes must take place as we go along, in order for the next action to be successful, as well. ConcJ usion: The first step in better supervision is for the supervisor to improve his own supervisory abilities. This requires enthusiasm, judgment, and the desire to learn. But, interestingly, as the supervisor improves his own skills, almost automatically the group he supervises improves, as well. Inevitably, employees follow suit when the supervisor's skills improve - or slip. . +-11- I I I D I 1- ,. cl - _,.,_,..,.._.. - •-n.-o,...•c.,_.. _ a _ a _ n ~ . . . . _ . ~ , . . . . . -u-n-.(• * JOB SATISFACTION Job satisfaction for each of us depends updn our relations with all the people with whom we work.

Merrill, Woods Manager, Anglo-Canadian Pulp & Paper Company Limited at the Canadian ?ulp and Paper Association, Woodlands Section, Convention in Montreal., There is a growing need today for a better defination of our type of work, and for a more direct and candid approach to the public whose forests we harvest. While we belong to an industry, Canada's most valua~e I understand, we are basically farmers. We are tenant farmers. We are privileged in having Mother Nature prepare our seedbeds and look after our planting. All we have to do is gather the crop and reap the rewards. True, we pay for the privilege, and the more conscious we grow of this fact, the better it will be for all of us. Like most privileges, it implies responsibilities, and those responsibilities are many and varied. Among the scores of duties which they include, the first and foremost is obviously the perpetuation of the forest. A generation ago, this duty came last. Today, I am happy to say, it comes first in the minds and in the deeds of managers in almost all sectors of the indus-try. '' Best and • (Continued on Page 20) FORD 0 ACCESSORIES . in the Long Run!"

He may eventually take steps to give us a reasonable assurance that we can occupy the premises for as long as is necessary to reap the rewards of ou Some of the things which ,the man in the street PARTS •~ • It is only by doing our duty towards the landlord, and by reminding him that we are good tenants and .J showing him the proof, that we can, in turn, secure his co-op~ra1tion in what we want him to do. It is easier to convert a heretic when he knows that you are a true and practising believer. If the layman is aware that we are really caring for the forest, he will be much more inclined ,to care for it himself in co-opration with us. Let us say to the hunter, the fisherman, the woodsworker, the tourist: "This is yours, brother. We are your trustees and custodians. We are not slashing the bush. We are harvesting a crop to make way for future crops, and making sure that the future crops will be ample. So while you're visiting your 1tenant, please don't set fire to your own property, to your own job, and to your own prosperity !' But there is another duty, or should I say necessity, which I am afraid we have failed to ·grasp, an omission which, in my esitimation, we should correct. That duty involves reporting occasionally to our landlord the people of Canada, as to what we are doing in the woods. if individually, and collectively, we keep our candle under a bushel, then we cannot blame the public for entertaining all sorts of misconceptions about us, and believing everything that the vociferous alarmists will tell them. I '... . holds to be true about us would startle you. He sees ' \ us, from afar, as a kind of giant gqat rampant in the verdant forest chewing· up everything in sight, the fish, the birds, and the game included. The public has it, on the authority of many pessimists, that there will not be a 1tree left in Canada by the end of this century, save the elms in Dominion Square. Personally, I think that this is as silly as saying there will be no wheat next year, because the farmers out west are going to harvest it in August. The future of Canada's forest$ has never been more secure than it is today, and iits long range future, if we continue devoting our love and time to its care, looks bright to me, barring an act of God or some devasting man-made catastrophe. • • • Genuine ·~ ·~ c, ' • NOVEMBE.R - DECEMBER 1955· BOOK ~ Fo~r~d!__DealP" - Thunder Bay District FORT WILLI 1 �NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 1955 LOG PAGE 7 BOOK Yarder It's a HIGH PRO It's MOBI It's a Tl ------ ND Crawler equipped for maximum floatation and manouverability, moving cycle reduced to 10 min. or less. l I I l I \ Skids and loads 110150 cords per day from distance up to 650' handling bundles from 1 to 1 ½ cords each.

COLLINS SAFETY SHOES LIMITED ---0---- ANNOUNCEMENT The Logging Sa/ety Campaign Some companies have a very active and well organized Safety Campaign on their logging operations and are gradually getting results. On other operations there appears to be a tendency to feel that if a good first-aid and follow up system for accident cases is provided there is very little else which can be done to improve :tihe accide'n t record. First-aid work is very necessary but it is not accident prevention. If, through education, the elimination of hazards, good supervision, the use of safety equipment and clothing, the number of accidents requiring first-aid are materially reduced, then the company can say they are really making progress. It is perhaps human nature to take a chance and when one gets hurt blame it on bad luck. But accidents don't just happen, there is always a reason why they occur and if men are trained to look for and eliminate the cause of an accident, there is no doubt :that the number and severity of injuries occurring on the logging operation can be greatly reduced. This cannot be accomplished by adopting a negative attitude. There has ;to be a very active, well-organized safety campaign in force and everyone in authority must take an active part. Too often one finds that a well :thought out campaign is not achieving its purpose due to the fact that certain supervisors feel that accident prevention work is the responsibility of the safety depar:ment and fail to give it the necesary sup- Our Lakehead Safety Shoe warehouse will be open for business Friday (all day) and Saturday 'til 1 p.m. In the early part of the week our Mobile Units are serving industry throughout Northwestern Ontario.

The modification is intended to relieve employers of some paper work in claims involving Medical Aid only. The old Form 94 (white) was given in duplicate to the injured workman with instructions to hand both copies to the first attending physician after which the "envelope folder" copy was to be forwarded to the Board. The new Form 94 (yellow) will replace the old form, and, if the claim is non-compensable (not more than 4 calendar days lost time) then no Form 7 (Employer's Report of Accident) will be required, provided, of course, that the Form 94 is completely and accurately answered. Two copies of the new Form 94 are given to the injured workman by the employer after completion of Section 1, with instructions to hand both copies to the first attending physician or hospital. The doctor or hospital" completes Section 2 and one of the forms is then forwarded to the Board, the second retained by PAGE 9 BOOK the doctor or hospital for record purposes.

Sioux Lookout district suffered l 07 fires, with 2, 117 acres being burned over for an average of 20 acres per fire. Port Arthur district suffered 123 fires, with 2, 117 acres being burned over for an average of 111 acres per fire. There were 2,230 forest fires in Ontario this year, up to October 14, just 34 below the 1936 total which was the highest since official records began in 1917. Trained staffs, assistance from industry, latest fire fighlting methods and public co-operation, however, kept acreage burned over down to less than one-third of the 1936 loss-37 4,421 as against 1,264,433. Next highest acreage loss was in 1948 when 2,036 fires swept 1,017,389 acres, the great Mis.sissagi-Chapleau fire des~roying more than a million. As the 1955 fire season nears its close, October 31, the Hon. Clare E. Mapledoram, Minister of Lands and Forests, commented that reduction in the acreage burned th :s year, in face of one of the severest seas- ens on record could be credited to a number of factors. These included improved detection and suppression methods, use of helicopters, newer types of pumps, greater fire site accessibility provided by the department's fleet of some 40 Beaver aircraft, and increased mobility of fire forces across the province. The minister said that special credit must be given this year to the division of forest protection and its chief, T. E. Mackey, to all fire control and air service personnel and to the educational programme which had inspired public co-operation. Lightning is blamed as the greatest single fire cause but human agencies, as usual, were responsible for m'os,t fires. The season was exceptionally dry, with "dry lightning" storms bringing little rain. Fires were continuous from early spring and on July 13, 152 were reported. -o--- MY CREED . . . .

Nearly al I of the bright yellow Beaver aircraft which have patrolled most of the Province from dawn to dark for the past seven months, have come into Sault Ste. Ma.rie from far-flung posts, to be hangared and overhauled during the winter here at the headquarters of the Division of Air Service of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. During the past summer, the planes have helped spJt 2nd fight 2,230 fires, the second largest number of forest fires since records began back in 1917. The extreme mobility which they afforded fire crews was one of the contributing factors in keeping the burnedover acreage down to 374,421, less than a third of the record year 1936 when fire swept 1,264, 433 acres. Aircraft were first used in forest fire work in Ontario in 1922, then survey work was added. Since then, the modern Beavers have performed a multitude of tasks, from game census to mercy flights. Until the ice of northern lakes is thick enough to support a plane, there wi 11 be no flying out of such far bases as Oba and Tukanee Lake in the White River District, "ice box of Ontario." It is in such areas as these that aircraft play an important part in fire detection and suppression because a very small part of the forested lands is accessible by road or railway. White River District Forester R. H. Hambly reported, for example, that "60 % of our. fires this summer were detected by aircraft. Because of the extraordinarily severe fire season, pilots' flying hours were above normal. They flew long hours under trying conditions and, with other agencies, merit fullest thanks." nevv 1 I 175 h.p. Cummins Turbodiesel Turbocharging gives more power with less weight.

Skiers, skaters, outdoor workers, children playing, and even people walking home from the office can all suffer from frost-bite -especially if there's a strong wind. Hands, feet, ears, nose and face are the parts of the body most likely to be affected. The symptoms of frostbite are well-known. The affected parts get numb and waxy and white in appearance. If you're going to be out in the cold a lot this winter with other people, it's a good i'dea to watch each other's faces for the tell-tale change of color - a white patch on a red face or an ear that has turned white. If your hands or feet get numb, that's a warning too. Tell your children how to spot frostbite too and they'll be less likely to come home with their ears or nose frozen. Whi1 8 most people know the symptoms of frostbite, few know how to treat it. The popular remedy, rubbing the affected part with snow is actually all wrong - and can be dangerous. What should be done? Fast action is important. Prolonged freezing will do ,i•rreparable damage. But this does not mean that your frozen toes should be placed against a hot radiator. Rapid thawing by the aapplication of external heat is dangerous. Gradual warming by body heat is the safest way to relieve frostbite and it is not wise even to come indoors until the thawing is completed. If your face or ear is aifected, cover the frozen patch with a gloved hand until normal color and feeling return. In the case of frozen fingers or toes, remove tight gloves or boots; a good way to thaw your hand is to place it under your clothing in your armpit; feet may be wrapped in a blanket or snuggled under a companion's jacket. St. John Ambulance, recognized authority on First Aid, sums up the facts to remember in treating frostbite: Thaw the frozen part gradually with body heat. Do not rub - especially with snow or ice. Frozen tissues are easily bruised and gangrene can result. Do not apply external heat in any form such as heat from a stove or radiator. Do not take into a warm room until thawing is complete. And if the case of frostbite is a severe one, resulting from prolonged exposure to the cold, be sure to have a doctor see it i•mmediately. Neglect can have serious consequences. BUDWORM BATTLE TO CONTINUE New Brunswick will continue its fight against the budworm, although the size and location of next year's program await the result of entomological surveys now under way. The provincial government was assured continued financial support of the Federal Government. LOG PAGE 19 BOOK WEED TREES BECOME USEFUL .TIPS TO TRACTOR OPERATORS Rapid advances in timber technology, road-building, transportation and utilization is having an important effect on the fore's t inventory in British Columbia and though the cut is increasing annually, we find that, decade by decade, the volume of accessible merchantable timber grows at an even gr-eater pace. "Our situation today," says Dr. George S. Allen, dean of Forestry, University of B.C., "is not unlike that recorded in the history of other countries. Nearly every authentic case of timber famine has been related dfrectly to inadequate transportation and lack of forest access. Because logging has become more mechanized and increasingly flexible and because prices are higher, it has become economically possible to reach higher and farther for smaller and lower quality timber, so that today there is little of the Coast region that cannot be regarded as accessible." British Columbia, as a whole, possesses enormous areas of mature forest, and while much of this timber is not yet accessible and a further part not merchantable by present standards, conditions a r e constantly changing. Only 10 years ago, a much larger part of the forest cover was classed as unmerchantable or inaccessible. "Thus, Dr. Allen points out, "we have the anomaly that there is apparently more virgin f\imber today than there was l O years ago. In fact, of course, the supply has decreased, but we are able now to count in a large volume of what was termed 'scrub' not many years ago. On the West Coast, Jarge areas of high quality hemlock that were written off in the past as scrub are today among our most valuable reserves. Lodgepole pine and balsam also may well change rapidly in status in the years ahead. Even the lowly alder of the Coast is coming into its own as a source of pulp." Heavy equipment. is designed with the thought that operation will occur under conditions far from the ideal, and those conditions most commonly occur in cold weather. Therefore, with a little forethought and planning, machinery can operate satisfactorily regardless of the intensity of the weather. Leaking radiators, hoses, water pumps or gaskets are an invitation to trouble when the temperature drops. In addition there is the fan belt which is so often neglected-it's very important in winter if it drives a water pump. Stretched and frayed from the summer's heat it may turn its last on a zero day. If your machine is going to vacation this winter keep the engine rust free with a cup of cra'nkcase oil poured into each cylinder once a month. Crank the engine a few turns with the compression off at least once a week to restore the oil film on the cylinder walls. The same treatment goes for the starting engine, a couple of tablespoonsful of oil is sufficient. Water in diesel fuel creates no end of trouble in any weather and as -t he tempera ture drops it causes freezing of the lines and filters. Properly stored fuel contains practically no water but when refueling machines in snow or rain, some water can enter the fuel tank. Fill the fuel tanks at the end of the day's operation to drive out the moisture laden air and drain off a quart or so before starting the next morning. The accumulated water- if it isn't frozen can be eliminated. The gasoline starting engine can be a very dependable starter in any temperature if it is kept in condition. Valve and , cylinder equipment must be good, otherwise hard starting or insufficient cranking power result. Avoid overchoking and fast idling speeds to promote longer life during low temperature operation. If the starting engine has a two-speed transmission, make full use of the lower speed gears when cranking a cold engine. RETORT UNEXPECTED For many years a mining company out west employed a Chinese cook, and one evening after an exceptionally good dinner, the superintendent decided to raise his wages. The next payday, the Chinaman noted the extra money in his envelope. "Why you pay me more?" he asked the superintendent. "Because you have been such a good cook all these years." replied his boss. The Chinaman thought this over, then said, "You been cheatin' me long time now, eh?" Replace any missing drain plugs and gaskets rn steering clutch enclosures and dry flywheel clutch compartments. When operating in mud or water, these compartments can accumulate debris and mud which may freeze and cause serious damage to the work.. ing parts. '1~·~-:;,;:;;;;-•-o--:1• I Ii ! I I i !

Tracks, track rollers and carrier rollers require some additional attention also in colder weather. Snow frequently packs between the rails of the tracks, causi'ng excessively tight tracks. The best solution here is the installation of special snow track grousers. These plates have holes in their center which eliminate packing. Track hardware is subjected to tremendous stresses if a tractor becomes frozen in mud. Never park a machine where there is danger of freezing the tracks to the ground. A simple log berth for the machine will prevent freezing of tracks and will relieve the operator of a lot of work when the machine is to be moved. Frozen mud around the rollers and carrier rollers lock them tight. If a machine is run any distance with frozen rollers, the track rails rub over the rollers, wearing flat spots on them, rendering the roller practically useless. Cleaning the track assemblies prior to parki'ng the tractor will lower repair costs. This is a dirty task, but it's much easier than freeing a frozen roller. �PAGE 20 LOG Woods Labour Agreements Signed The woods labour contract between the Lumber and Sawmill Workers' Union (AFL) and a number of Ontario companies representing pulp and paper producers, pulpwood exporters and independent operators, has, in the case of most of the companies, been signed. On November 14th, Abitibi Power & Paper Company Limited, for its four divisions, reached an agreement with the Union, after almost two weeks of negotiations. The agreement calls for a 7% increase for al I Abitibi woods employees on the payroll, retroactive to September 1st. Changes in · overtime rates, vacations with pay, seniority, and pay for statutory hot idays as wel I as some other points were made. Subsequent to the Abitibi settlement, agreements were made between the Union and Ontario Paper Company Limited and K.V.P.

He may realize that there is nothing annual about our crop, that we can only harvest once or twice in a whole century. He will understand, I am sure, that if we are going to nurse the next generation of trees for the next generation of men, without reward perhaps in our own lifetime, that surely the blood, sweat and tears with which our industry, through us, waters the forests of tomorrow, should bring compensation to those who have cared for the crop. Roads and bridges, camps and dams, horses and men cost money, a lot of money. The landlord_should know this. If he is well informed, he will appreciate the fact that no farmer in the world takes a longer range gamble than we do in the woods.

Mr. G. R. Potts, DiSitrict Field representative, Lumbermen's Safety Association was in attendance at all three meetinas. A com,.;;on theme at two of the meet'i ngs was the merit rating scheme, which presently is under study by the Workmen's Compensation Board.

The slewing mechanism is hydraulically operated as are the drums for elevating the boom and for the guy line. The whole unit is mounted on skids to provide flotation, for working in muskeg country. This yarder is used in skidding bundles of 8' pulpwood from the stump to the road from which point they will be hauled out during the winter. Each bundle contains approximately l cord and is skidded from a distance of 400 feet. The advantage of the swinging arrangement is that 2 pulpwood strips on each side of t he road, making a total of 4 strips, are yarded without moving the yarder. HUSKY OIL & REFINERY LTD.

The ability to tilt as much as 40 degrees at the ground Iine offers the following advantages: Pictured below is a Caterpillar # 6 Traxcavator which has been adapted for pulpwood load£ng. More than 10 of these pulpwood loaders on Caterputar tractors are now at work in the pulpwood industry in the Lakehead area. The Cat 955 Traxcavator can also be readilv adapted for pulpwood loading. -Lower cycle time in loading since bucket or log loading forks can be driven into pile, tilted back, and a full load obtained in one pass without declutching. -Horizontal tractor push a n d upward hydraulic thrust can be accomplished simultaneously for better breakout action. -Stability is improved since the centre of gravity of the load·ed bucket or logging forks move back toward the tractor as it is tilted back. The ability to carry the load in a low position keeps the centre of gravity closer to the tractor and also provides safe operation when backing up grades by skidding the bucket or logging forks along the ground. The No. 955 Traxcavator is equipped with an oil-type flywheel clutch which has an extremely long life and decreases flywheel clutch pul I. Two reverse speeds up to 264 feet per minute and four forward speeds up to 607 FPM are available.

MOS ON\l \ (;c)t'\ o\ THE ~ •ASSOCI Once again before you and it is hoped you will obtain valuable and interesting information from its contents. The last issue featured "Fire Prevention". Since that time the devastating fires of early summer have been brought under control and extinguished. 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.

It is already apparent to us all that the war-time and post war scra·mble for wood in its various forms has ended. In other words, the honeymoon is over and we must now become domesticated as quickly as we can in order to ensure as much bliss as can be expected from normal times. The cost of wood must be somehow maintained at a level which will ensure this part of the Province a great sha~e of the market. This year will not be as productive in volume as the last few. However, this can be considered only a period of readjustment with next year possibly bringing a normal steady demand for forest products. We will regain and maintain a steady market if we can meet the competition which is creeping in from other parts of Canada, Europe, -and the United States. To do so we must be ever conscious of economy and efficiency in our operations to the end that our unit cost can meet the ability of the market to pay. Recently negotiations were concluded between the Lumber and Sawmill Worker's Union and the Timber Operators. It is significant that both sides appreciated the needs of the other. As a result, a sound agreement with no major changes has been signed for another year. Both sides are to be congratulated· on a realistic approach to the problems which face the industry.

PAGE 3 Community Chest-- October 2nd-29th, 1949 Each fall the Community Chest drive is held across Canada. In each locality the chest committee of volunteer workers collect for organizations and welfare agencies which are eligible to be a part of the Chest. Money collected is distributed to these organizations according to the budget approved before the campaign starts. In Northwestern Ontario, the woods industry and its employees have supported the Community Chest campaigns in the various centres and this year will again be asked to support the campaign. Volunteer workers will again canvass the camps. While the majority of people who contribute-whether woods workers or city workers-wi II not benefit, those in need will and in this regard the woods employees have in the past been very generous. Last year the Ontario Paper Company employees topped the woods ogranfza ➔ tions in the Port Arthur area and the Great Lakes Paper Company Limited employees were ahead in the Fort William area. Please give this worthy campaign your support. Stamp That Wood The Pulpwood Salvage Association reports thaf tests made this y~ar still show a high percentage of unstamped wood being salvaged. If orders are that wood is to be stamped, all supervisory personnel should check on this important operation and ensure that the orders are carried out one hundred per cent. Paint marks have been registered by some companies with the Commissioner of Patents, Ottawa, and, in some cases, are being used instead of the familiar stamping hammer. Services of Community Programmes Again Available In Camps During the past three years the Community Programmes Branch of the Ontario Department of Education has been carrying on classes in Basic English and Citizenship in the camps of this area. This service was begun to enable newcomers from foreign countries to learn of the language and customs of this country. This year again the same service is available to either newcomers or those who are Canadian citizens and wish to improve their English. Due to decreased woods operations and fewer. camps in operation it will be possible to give a greater degree of help than formerly.

BARRON (The fourth of a series of articles by members of the Northwestern Ont. Section-Canadian Society of Forest Engineers) In a previous article of this series it was pointed out that where natural regeneration is a failure, the most logical answer is to resort to artificial regeneration. In this article then it is proposed to deal with some of the aspects of reforestation by man. A popular belief that has been widely held is that the way to replace the depletion of forests is to plant a tree for every one cut down. While looking at its face value this theory sounds appealing there are other fac -f tors involved which cannot be overlooked. One of the most important of these is cost. When forests are planted by man there is always the qµestion of whether the amount of money spent will prove profitable. Aside from the initial cost of planting there must be considered the accumulated interest on this initial cost through the years until this timber is ready to be cut. As an example, if the interest rate were taken at 3 per cent the initial investment would be doubled in about twenty-five years. It is true that some of this accumulated cost may be offset by making thinning cuttings during the life of the stand but the sale value of these thinnings would not materially reduce the total cost. It is largely the value of the mature stand which must offset the cost and provide a profit where a planting project is considered on a dollars and cents basis only-and the timber industry like any other must operate on this basis. Contrary to this popular idea that forestry consists of planting trees and that the way to replace a stand that has been cut down is to automatically plant another, the proper approach lies in the treatment of the existing forests. Where forests now exist they should as a rule be so harvested that a new crop a-rises naturally as a result of the method of cutting. Whereas nature wi 11 establish a new crop for nothing if treated wisely, man's methods cost money. The question arises then as to when and where man should resort to artificial regeneration. Although natural regeneration must be depended upon to largely reproduce our future forests there are many instances where man can and must help out. Forest fires hav(; burned over, sometimes repeatedly, large areas of cut over land. Natural seedlings and advance growth which were present on the area are wiped out by the fire, and with no natural source of seed supply avai Iable the area becomes wasteland as far as commercial tree species are concerned. If these areas are • be reforested the work can best be done as soon after the fire as possibie while the ground is clear and before complet.ng brush and vegetation can become established. There is also ample opportunity for reforestation on idle lands in agricultural areas. This is as true in the Lakehead area as anywhere else. Lands which at one PREVIOUS ARTICLES: March lssue-"The Commercial Tree Species of Northwestern Ontario," by H. H. Styffe. May lss~e-"Forest Regeneration," by J. H. Godden. July lssue-"The Forest •Community," by D. R. Stevens time were well forested have been cleared in an attempt at farming and have since become abandoned due to unsuitable soi I conditions. Although not suited to agriculture, the fact that they once bore forests is proof that they could do it again. These areas have tbe further advantage of generally being readily accessible to a mar..: ket and hence providing cheap wood. As has been pointed out the~e have always been cases where natural regeneration has completely or partially failed to restock an area after logging operations. These blank spaces must be filled in artificially if complete stocking is to result. There is increasing thought being given to this on the part of several timber companies as evidenced by experiments along this line and at least one large company in Northern Ontario is adopt-· ing it as part of their forest management policy. There are two methods of establishing artificial regeneration: l. by direct seeding; 2. by planting trees. Generally speaking planting is considered to be the quickest and safest method. It is true that an area can be seeded more cheaply than it can be planted but the chances of failure are very much greater in the former. In the long run where results are compared as against costs, the planting method is usually found to be the more economical. However a recent development of, coating seeds with a protective covering may give this method more favourable results. These pelleted· seeds as ~hey are called, are enclosed in a covering which greatly increases the chances of seed survival. The properties of coating provide several advantages: n u t r i en ts are present in it for the seed; it absorbs moisture readily; chemicals are present which discourage rodents from eating_ the seed. Direct seeding probably has its best application on a recent cut-over and burned over area whero no ground cover remains. The Ontario Department of Lands and Forests carried out such a project last year following the Missasaugi fire when pelleted seed was sown from aircraft. The results of this will bear watching. In any reforestation program the logical place to start is on those lands which are readily accessible to markets and where site conditions are favourable to rapid growth. Since the areas are accessible the planting costs will be cheaper. In addition the planted forests when mature may be harvested with a minimum of logging costs. It goes without saying that planted forests must have the best in protection from fire, insects and disease. This protection is better afforded where ready supervision can always be available. An important decision that must be made where an area is to be reforested is the choice of tree species to be used. This is important because of the expensa involved in planting and because of the relatively long time which must elapse before mistakes may show up. Thus it is best to make sure that the species of tree selected is well adapted for the area to be reforested. The safest general guide in this respect is to follow the lead of Mother Nature and choose those species which once grew wel I naturally on the area. Another factor of course (Continued on Page 13) �SEPTEMBER 1949 LOG BOOK LOOK FOR THE GREEN CORE LONGER LASTING ARCH LINES WITH GREENHEART WIRE ROPE Fewer shutdowns for rope replacement mean higher, more profitable log production.

Marathon Papaer Mills of Canada, Ltd. Marathon's management plan is based on the as-sumption that the operation will be permanent. We have deviated from the conventional in two respects; one of them is that the operation is mechanized and the other is that each logging compartment or camp is !aid out with the idea of harvesting the annual growth from the same camp indefinitely. On the mechanical operation, careful planning and layout are essential. The area to be cut over is carefully studied on aerial photographs, summary of estimates, stand tables, and ON THE GROUND. Every stand, every set-up, every strip is carefully coF1sidered before the operation begins. The over-all plan is carried out by what might be called a "Planning Committee." It is made up of the Chief Forester, General Superintendent, Operating Manager, and the Vice-president in charge of woods opera -' tions. They make the long term plans and decide on the area to be cut over each year. The area is then carefully, studied by the District Forester, the District Superintendent, and the foreman who will be in charge of the oper.1 ation. External boundaries are decided upon, and blazed if necessary. The width of each operation must be carefully considered before being decided upon. This wil.t Genuine PARTS '' Best • and be determined by topography, the skidding system to be used and the equipment available to do it, as well as the season of the year. Set-ups are chosen to which the wood will be skidded and left in cold deck. These set-ups are deter..! mined primarily bv topography and desirability of the site for setting up yarders, slashers and for manoeuvring trucks. On the average, a set-up will log approximately 20 acres. This means that if the stand averages 25 cords; there will be piled in cold deck at the set-up 500 cords of pulpwood in tree lengths. Strips must be laid out for the fallers, but these, strips differ from those on a manual operation. Instead of being parallel, they radiate from the centre of each set-up, that is, in shape they are like the slice of a pie. The angle of layout will vary with ground conditions and with the rapidity with which it is desired to get the\ stand felled. As each set-up yards a sector of about 200 degrees, there may be as many as 10 strips at each setup or there I nay be as few as four or five. In addition to marking the centre of each set-up, its external boundaries are also blazed or picketed.

The final location is only decided upon after all trees on the set-up have been felled. Thirty or 40 set-ups are located before the operation begins and a minimum of say 25 is maintained aheac' of the operation unti I near the end of the season, when finally al I have been located. When a large enough number of set-ups have been laid out, falling may begin if the season permits. This can be any time that snow conditions will allow after the middle of April. Fallers are assigned strips just as they are on the manual operation. The numbering of set-ups is standard on all operation. • It is essential that the falling pattern be uniform, that all trees be felled in a direction away from the setup. In the few cases where this cannot be done fallers are instructed to fall towards the set-up, thus m aintaining the parallel pattern. It does not greatly matter for skidding purposes which end of the tree comes first but it is important at the slasher that the butt be prese nted to the saw first. This is the reason for the falling pattern. Fallers of course must begin their strip at the outer ?oundary and work towards the set-up. Early in the fall ing season the camp should be filled with fallers. Many of these will be yarder and slasher crews, truck drivers and other specialists who will later return to their regula~ jobs. Scaling of tree lengths must be done daily. The butt scaler measures the butt of each tree where it lies He records the diameter of the butt and the species. N~ other measurements are made here. The fallers are paid for each tree on a butt or stump basis. They are not concerned with volume, though we do have a volume table based on stump diameter which is used to keep record of 1 1 production up to and including the cold deck. Yarding may begin any time that the fallers have enough wood on the ground to assure a constant supply without delays for the yarders. This may be from 2-4 weeks after the beginning of falling operations. !t is important that yarders begin as early as possible and that all yarders to- be used be put into operation as quickly as possible. At this time any yarding crews who are occupied in the falling operation will take up their regular jobs. If the camps have been kept full, they will not be replaced. As the yarders move into position, the road building tractors also move in. The tractors will be used, in addition to road-building, .for moving the yarders from one set-up to the other. Tree lengths will be skidded in either by the ground skidding system or by a sky-line system, depending on conditions. The tree lengths will be piled in the cold deck up to a height of about 15 feet. Usually only one yarder wi 11 work at a set-up unti I it is completed. It wi Ii then move on to the next set-up, leaving the first one ready for the slasher. The yarder crew usually comprises a hook tender, who is the straw boss in charge, 2-3 chokermen . a chaser at the foot of the yarder, and a yarder op~rator. These men work as a unit and while they are paid on a daily basis they also receive a production bonus for all prc-1 duction over and above their quota. Th~ quota and rates will vary with conditions, but a~e. pre-~etermine_d. Depending on forest cond1t1ons, 1:e., dens1t_y, species, terrain, size of timber, an operation of this kind will require from 2--3 yarders for each slasher. The pr?duction which may be expected from each yarder w1 B (Continued on Page 8) THE NORTHERN ENGINEERING & SUPPLY COMPANY LIMITED ONTARIO FORT WILLIAM Pulp, Logging & Sawmill Machinery NESCO GRAPPLERS FOR HANDLING LOGS, RAILROAD TIES, PULP AND · OTHER TIMBER PRODUCTS Nesco Equipment Ensures Economical Speedy Continuous Operation CANADA �PAGE 8 LOG BOOK vary greatly. It may be as little as 25 cords per day or as much as 55 cords. When the yarders have built up a sufficient supply of tree lengths in cold deck, the slashers are ready tc move in. Here again this may be from 2-4 weeks after the start of yarding operations. Again many of the crew 1 will come from among the fallers, for now we require not only the slasher crews, but truck drivers as well. Thi, completes the drain on fallers, and those who continue falling for the balance of the season are less permanent men, though many of them do become specialists of cne kind or another as opening present themselves. Slashers move in to the cold decks, cut the wood into 8-foot length and load it 9n trucks. Species are segregated on this operation; that is, poplar is slashed separately and sent to dry landings where it will remain until the following spring. Softwood species during the summer months are dumped into the driving stream. Hand·ling Poplar It might be well here to describe briefly our metho<.1 of handling poplar. In the past we believed it necessary to peel poplar, or at least to strip it, in order to make it float. We have also tried chemical treatment. Experimentation has now shown us that none of these are necessary if poplar is felled during the growing season; that is, between full leaf and the time leaves start to turn yellow, and let it lie in 8-foot lengths for a mini, mum of six weeks. It will be seen that our method meets these requirements. Experimentation is continuing, how . ever, to determine whether the same results would be obtained by falling poplar from late summer or early fall onward through late fall and possibly even through the winter. We know that there are both silvicultural and operational advantages to be gained if this can be done. The crew of a slasher consists of a sawyer, a top loader, a winch operator, two hookers, and one unhooker. One of these men is straw boss in charge of the operation. He may be any one of the six and always will be one with more experience and abi Iity to handle men. Production at the slasher will vary with conditions but the extreme will be less pronounced than on yarding operations. Each slasher should average from 70-90 cords per day or mare. Under favourable conditions they may do much more than this. A record of 116 cords has been set. The slasher crew is paid on a daily basis, but like the yarder crew they receive a production bonus for all production over their basic quota of 70 cords. The slasher loads 8-foot bolts on dump trucks, which deliver either to the dry landing or to the water, depending on species. Somewhere enroute at a central SEPTEMBER 194S' point here is a short stopover for the scaling of each load, which is by government scalers and usually at the same point for painting one end of each log with a yellow paint smear (Marathon's registered log mark). Unloading at landing or in the water is done by hydraulic dump. While yarding and slashing operations are going on, final road locations are decided upon by the production unit foreman and they are built by the tractor which is also used to move both yarders and slashers. On a twoside operation usually two tractors are required. These will build all roads, landings, and move the two slashers and the 4-6 yarders. Five general road classifications are recognized. Each of these has detailed specifications, but briefly they are as follows: . CLASS 1: Might be called a super highway. It would be for very heavy traffic. We have no roads of this class now. CLASS 2: Main highways. Their purpose is strategic. They serve the limit for transportation of all kinds. CLASS 3: These are main logging roads. They are more or less permanent. CLASS 4: Temporary logging roads for summer use which will be a.bandoned after one or two years. CLASS 5: Winter logging roads which disappear with melting snows. The above outline is mechanical logging as Mara. thon practises it on any one operation. It has alre~dy been stated that each camp or compartment operates on a sustained annual yield basis. The Pie Limit has been divided into 8 compartments. Six of them are planned for 2-side operations and two of them for 1-side operation. In d~ciding on policy, two courses. were open as to how a safety factor should be applied. It would not be good business to expect from the Pie Limit its total annual yield indefinitely.

These meetings have resulted in a better all-round understanding of the problem of both the Department of Lands and Forests and the operators. This year, after the regional meetings were held, operators' committees were appointed to .represent operators at meetings deemed necessary by the Regional Forester concerned.

This meeting will be held early in November. The official fire season closes October 3 i st, 1949 (unless extended due to hazardous conditions). It is felt that the followi~g actions would pay dividends next year. ( 1) Each company review the 1949 forest fire experiences on its own limits and, based on these experiences, prepare preliminary plans for the 1950 forest fire season. (2) Each Regional Forester call a general meeting to discuss the over-all 1949 forest fire experiences number of fires, causes, means of detection, co-operation in fighting fires - and, based on these experiences, discuss plans for the 1950 season. • One of the main topics that should be discussed is a plan whereby key man on company staffs may be trained in fire-fighting tactics.

For example if the objective in mind was to produce timber suitable for poles the species selected would be red pine or jack pine provided of course that the area in question was favourable for the growth of these species. Just as it is important that a species be suitable for a particular local site, so also is it important that the seed of that species come from the same general region. For example seed colected and grown in Northwestern Ontario is much more suitable for this region than if shipped from Southern Ontario where climatic and soil conditions are much different. This was a major consideration in the Ontario Government's decision to estab1ish a forest tree nursery at the Lakehead for the needs of Northwestern Ontario. While artificial regeneration is more expensive it does have certain advantages over natural regeneration in other aspects. Whereas it may take an area up to ten or twenty years to seed in naturally, the same area can be restocked immediately by man. Natural reproduction ma', result in an inferior species taking over the area wherea~ in artificial regeneration the best species can be chosen ["_he correct spacing of trees can be used to produGe tha c:lesired results. In natural regeneration this spacing may be too sparse or too dense. The yield per acre in quantity and quality is usually higher in artificial regeneration. It is unfortunate that experimental tree plantations were not made many years ago throughout the province under a variety of different site conditions. If such had been the case the results would have provided us today with a storehouse of information on reforestation . In · any event while reforestation is not the sole answer to our future supplies to timber as some may think, there is no doubt that it constitutes an important chapter in the management of our forest lands if we are to realize t~eir full potential value.

Opportunities for advancement have been offered to him, ability and progressiveness are recognized by-monetary reward and job security, so that today a good camp clerk has a brighter future than at any time in the past. Management no longer hi~es a clerk because _h~ knows the rudiments of bookkeeping and has a hankering to work in the bush and save money. They look for essential qualities which will make him a valuable man in their organization. Briefly these qualities are:(1) Personality (Is he aggressive, tactful, neat, sober, honest and industrious?) (2) Experience (Schooling, knowledge of th~ timber industry, labor relations, first aid, fire protection, accounting) .. (3) Ambition (Is he looking for oppor.tumt1es, security or for only a "fi II-in" job?) ' (4) Beliefs (Is he a good Canadi~n?) . . An aggressive man will not confine _his interests to clerical work. He will endeavour to_ learn about_ t~e company, its organization, products, ~sl_ls, and pol1c1es. Forest management is one of the main issues of the day. He should talk to company foresters and learn what is being done in this field. Government policy is important, he will follow the news reports and trends. and b~ able !0 talk intelligently to men higher up. Such actions will mark him as aggressive. Today, as never before, labor relations require the study and- understanding of management. A tactful, helpful camp clerk does much to promote harmonious relations in the personnel field. He is, in effect, a personnel man. He is usually the first person a new employee meets at the camp, and the last person to talk to him when he leaves. During the period of employment the clerk is in direct contact with the employee each day. These contacts should be continually building a bond between them that will promote harmony and good labour relations throughout the camp. A neat, clean person, and a neat, orderly camp office, is another mark of a good clerk. If he leads in set- ting an example, the rest of the camp will follow. An industrious clerk should be on the job when the crew goes out in the morning. He should follow each phase of the operation closely, and be well informed on the -progress being made. Possibly the greatest asset ha could have would be a reputation as an A-1 scaler. Through his industry and knowledge may come his opportunity for bigger things. Honesty in a camp clerk is essential. The slightest deviation will make him a marked man. He ordinarily handles a large amount of cash each month, has a large value in van and other supplies under his control and is the paymaster for all camp employees. His integrit~ must be above reproach. He must see that the employees are paid all that is due them, but not a cent more. A well educated man, with some knowledge of the timber industry, is preferred for a camp clerk, but is not essential by any means. A man willing to learn can go q long way with the proper instruction. This instruction is usually available through the district clerk or camp auditor. ·Every clerk should be cost conscious and understand the cost report. If he is able to quote cost figures to the operating men, his efforts will be appreciated. Quite often the cost department wi 11 request figures or distributions, the reasons for which might seem obscure. The clerk should make it his business to find out· the "whys" and "wherefores." In between seasons the clerk should be given some schooling in cost work, at Main Office. There are a variety of costs for which the clerk is primarily responsible. Supply inventories should be kept up so that telegrams are not necessary in order..! ing replenishments. Meal costs are of vital importance. Clerks can help control this cost through watching waste and seeing that there is no overstocking of perishable goods. He can report on poor quality supplies, check and see that goods are received as billed. Care in taking monthly inventories is important, so that meal costs will reflect the ability of the cook and allow correction at once if necessary. A clerk is expected to be a qualified first aid man and act as safety director. Some companies insist on their clerks having first aid certificates, and all clerks should endeavour to pass the tests and receive their certificate. The prevention and suppression of fires is a vitat (Continued on Page 15) "SERVING THE TIMBER OPERATORS OF NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO" 1)/4 LUMBERMEN'S CLOTHING, BEDDING AND FOOTWEAR.

He should be conversant with forest fire laws and see that they are obeyed. He should ba checking continually to see that dangerous conditions do not exist in any camp bui Iding or in the forest. A man who hopes to get ahead in the timber industry must expect to spend an indefinite period in the bush. He cannot look for consideration when his only thoughts are to use a camp clerk's job as a fill-in, until he finds something back in the city or until he builds up a bank account. He should be looking for opportunities and security, and to get them must look forward to his stint in the camps. Last, but not least, is he a good Canadian? Timber camps prese~t a fertile field for subversive agents. There must be no question of the clerk's feelings about Communism or other isms. He must be a true believer in our democratic form of government. For all these attributes, what may the camp •clerk expect in return? He can look forward to higher pay than for comparable work in town. He has opportunity for advancement in Canada's biggest industry. He has, in most companies, security in the form of steady employment, pensions, sick benefits and so forth. He receives greater benefits than the city worker in vacations, cheaper living, healthful work. Visiting Minister-"Well, well, I can see you're a bright little man. And how high can you count?"

Management and employees don't always agree on who is the good boss. Sometimes management may be right and sometimes employeesi But who are in a better position to judge than the mer\ who wqrk _ev_ery day directly under a supervisor or a foreman? Just what employees regards as essential in a good boss has been found out by conducting polls in different industries. Here are fourteen points compiled from a number of these pol ls. The good boss1. Knows his own job thoroughly, is a good workman, and understands all the jobs he supervises. 2. Has leadership ability rather than "drivership." Explains not only how but also · why things should be done. 3. Gives orders clearly and in a friendly fashion. Makes sure his instructions are understood, but does not shout. 4. Possesses the foresight to plan and delegate work in advance. Assigns work fairly. 5. Maintains consistent standards of conduct, performance and quality. 6. 1<eeps up with each man's work. Judges him honestly and on merit only. Lets each one know "where he stands." 7. Appreciates and acknowledges honest effort and above-average work. Gives credit where credit is due. In case of bad work or rejections, investigates and holds the right person responsible. SEPTEMBER 1949 8. Maintains discipline fairly and consistently. Does not discipline a worker in front of others. Makes his re~ primand as impersonal as possible. Gives the worker a chance to explain his side of the story. Keeps his temper: 9. Believes in and practices safety. Provides full and proper safety instructions. I 0. Makes sure that new or transferred employees know how to do their job correctly. Sees that they have aU necessary tools and materials. Makes new workers feel at home. l. Is liberal but consistent in his interpretation of the contract, plant rules and company policy. Does not appease the griper, nor chisel on just complaints. Listens sympathetically to all grievances. 12. Takes a personal interest in his employees. Ii loyal to the men above and below him, and is willing to go all the way "up the line" for his men when necessary. Is willing to take resp0t1sibility and does not p·a ss the buck. 13. Keeps his promises. Does not promise things he cannot deliver, and delivers as promptly as possible on al I promises he does make. 14. Is open-minded, welcomes suggestions, and is willing to discuss them. There you have it. The supervisor or foreman wh,, measures up to these points one hunderd per cent likely just doesn't exist, but apparently he is what the average worker wants and dreams about. Good employer-employee relations depend to a large degree upon how closely those in supervisory positions in any company resemble this ideal supervisor.

This question has been a subject of research for years by thoughtful management, which realizes that there is a lot more to a job than simply a pay tnvelope once a week. In fact, opinion surveys have shown that pay doesn't often head the list of what a steady employee wants in his shop or plant. The things he wants, over and above the hard cash, are the things that make a company a good place to work for, as opposed to the things he doesn't get, which mr1ke a company unpopular with its own employees and, eventually, with the community at, large. The Timken Roller Bearing Company, of Canton, Ohio, which has a good sized plant at St. Thomas, Ontario, recently turned out a 50th anniversary issue of its company magazine, the Timken "Trading Post" and the editors devoted three full pages to this important question of the things that count in a job. The "Trading Post" divided these things up under ten different headings and below each heading presented a brief statement of how the management believed the company stacked up. The ten headings are worth study because they are the things any empl.oyee wants. Here they are: l. A chance to get ahead; 2. Being treated with respect; 3. Good bosses; 4. Good working conditions; 5 . Good pay; 6. Getting the facts; 7. A thoughtful management; 8. A sense of security; 9. Facilities for recreation; l 0. A suggestion system. One or two of these things alone, over and above Item No. 5, do not make a plant a good place to work for, but if a company has them all, or nearly all, the odds are that it ranks high in the estimation of not only thEt employee but the community as a whole.

There was a Tyee from Campbell River, a tuna from Nova Scotia, a sailfish from the West Indies, a tar• pon from the Mexican Coast, a pickerel from Muskok 9 Lakes and a swordfish from the Gulf of California. But up over his fireplace was a giant bull moose head. 11 11 Say, 11 a friend asked him one day, how come this moose s head to be in your collection?

You gotta prove it to me, he challenged. 11 Okay, 11 said the fisherman. 11 lt was like this. I was whipping a small stream near evening with a white moth and suddenly my line fouled back of me. I turned around and damned if there wasn 1 t the biggest moose I ever laid eyes on. He took after me, carrying my fishing tackle 1 PAGE 21 on his antlers and I ran like hell to a tree. Well, I dodged around that tree, the moose after me. His horns were only two feet from my pants and I was only tw_o feet away from his tail. I was getting exhausted when suddenly I remembered my bottle of mosquito lotion and I uncorked it and threw it on the moose s rear end . . . a good dousing of it.

TAMBLYN In the Boi.ler House of The Great Lakes Paper Company Limited in Fort William, bark has replaced coal as a fuel to the extent of some 60 to 70 tons of coal a day. This replacement of coal by bark has been brought about by extensive tests and by the development of efficient means of burning this former waste material. There have been many changes in the methods involved over the l~st 10 years and the final plant was only completed a year and a half ago. These changes have resulted in the conversion of bark from a useless waste material, ·with a difficult disposal problem, to a valuable fuel. The reduction in coal consumption by 60 to 70 tons a day, the elimination of the problem of disposal and the fact that wet barking can be carried on during winter months are the results of the system developed. Approximately 1,000,000 lbs. steam per day are produced by the combustion of about 572 tons of wet bark per day. The wet bark is the bark coming directly from the barking presses and containing about 65 % water. On the basis of bone-dry bark there are about 3 lbs. of steam produced per pound of bone-dry bark. The various stages involved before combustion are as follows: l. Passing the bark through presses to reduce the moisture content from 80% to 65%. 2. "Hogging" the bark or reducing the particle size for more efficient burning. 3. Mixing the bark that has been reduced in particle size, with hot gases from the boiler to reduce the moisture content from approximately 65% to 35%. There are four "NEKOOSA" plunger type presses in the Wood Room for the initial moisture reduction. These four presses handle the bark from 1,000 to 1,500 cords per day. For methods of calculation, based on average bark coverage, the dry weight of bark is taken as 225 lbs. per cord or approximately 22,500 tons dry weight for a consumption of approximately 200,000 cords. The "hogs" or "shredders" are essential to the operation as the efficiency of combustion varies directly as the particle size of the fuel particle. The only obstacle· to obtaining really fine particle size is the high power requirements for this reduction. The method emplo~ed at The Great Lakes Plant involves Mitts & Merrill hogs. In this hog revolving knives on a drum reduce the bark to any desired size by varying the distance between the revolving knives and a stationery bed knife. All of the bark going to the boiler is passed through the hogs. Immediately following the hogs, the bark is conveyed to what is called an "active bottom bin." In the bottom of this bin there are seven screw conveyors driven by a variable speed drive. These screw conveyors feed the bark to the flasr1 dryer where it is instantaneously mixed with the boiler gases. By varying the speed of the screws any rate of feed to the dryer can be obtained, depending on the temperature of the boiler gases and conditions in the Dutch Ovens, where the bark is finally burned. The construction of these ovens is such that bark has to be fed into both the back and the front. The bark that passes through the flash dryer is conveyed to the front of the Oven. The feed rate to the dryer is adjusted so that there is always an excess of bark which can be conveyed to the rear of the ovens. This bark does not, pass through the dryer and has a moisture content of about 65% instead of about 35%. The heat and gasses from the burning bark pass into an old conventional type boiler. Although there is a considerable stockpile of bark from over 20 years' operation, it is hoped to convert all of this material to useful steam in the next 5 to l 0 years. NEW CFA MANAGER had extensive experience in the forests of Canada from Alberta to Quebec. After graduating from U. of T. he was attached to the Dominion Forest Service in the west. where he was forester on The Crows Nest Forest Reserve, Alberta. Then came another session at universit~, where he did post graduate studies in forest pathology. Subsequently he went to the federal government treeplanting nursery at Indian Head, Saskatchewan, where he gained first hand knowledge of the prairie shelter belt requirements. In 1925, Mr. Van Camp was working on an investigation of disease in spruce seedlings at the Laurentide nurseries at Grand'Mere, Quebec, and two years later he made a pulpwood survey of Manitoba, travelling by canoe routes from Winnipeg to Hudson Bay. More recently, Mr. Van Camp was selected by Major-General Howard Kennedy to supervise an investigation of the Ontario farm woodlot situation on behalf of the Royal Commission on Forestry. In his new task, Mr Van Camp will be directing the nation-wide program of the Canadian Forestry Asso-· ciation and its several provincial branches, to educate Canad:ans in the value of their forest resources. Appointment of J. L. Van Camp as general manager of the Canadian Forestry Association, is announced by D. A. Gillies, association president.

Sundberg is Chief of the Publicity Section of the "The Job Study Department of the Forest Employer's Association and the Board of Crown Lands and Forests of Sweden." This is a joint organization of big timbe companies in Northern and Central Sweden, totallin9 some 35 firms, and the Board of Crown Lands anc Forests, the latter corresponding to our U. S.

The purpose of the Sweden organization is, to improve logging equipment and methods and to choose a fair and objective basis for determining wage agree-ments between employer and employee. He says Sweden lacks woods machinery and that there is too much work done by hand. Nearly all forest products a re hauled by horse drawn sleighs to rail sidings, mills or river banks, very few trucks being employed. The high cost of powered equipment and thE low wage scale makes it difficult to justify mechanizec' equipment expenditures.

The tractor, developed at the southern research station near Toronto, is intended to "take the pack of the back" of the ranger. Driven by a six horsepower motor, it carries loads up to 800 pounds through some of the roughest country in the province and is intended, primarily, for use during the forest fire season. It has already been used on some fires and carried a complete power pump unit, including rotary pump, two cyl,nder gasoline engine, 1000 feet of hose, couplings, tool kit and fuel. On occasion, it has carried a man in addition to the other load and thus, officials believed, coul_d be used as a means of removing injured personnel from fire lines where necesasry. Th~ tractor is guided by one man whc walks behind it and directs it through handles similar to those used on a horse-drawn plough. Intricate clutch mechanism developed by departmental mechanics allow it to be turned within its own length of about four feet. Considerable interest in the machine has been evinced by forestry organizations in Canada and th• United States and already many enquiries regarding i1 have been received by the Ontario Department. Extract from a letter from Mr. J. L. Kelly of Price Eros. & Co., Ltd., to Mr. W. A. E. Pepler, Manager, Woodland Section CPPA., dated 15th May, 1950. "The following method of polishing sleigh shoeing .:-nd preventing them from rusting might be interesting to the members of the Section. "We have found that when shoeing has been renewed on sleighs or the old ones become rusted, the sliding resistance is greatly increased until such time as they become polished. Sometimes the coating on new shoeing, when hauling is done on soft snow roads, does not become removed until the end of the season. Thus the loading capacity is decreased and a greater pull is required to move the sleigh. "We have tried using a sandpaper machine but found this method of polishing was expensive and slow. A simple method that has been devised and has proven satisfactory is as follows: the sleighs, on being repaired during the spring and early summer, are dragged over a sandy road by either horse or farm tractor, and when the• shoeing becomes sufficiently polished a coating of liquid is applied with a brush. This consists of cup grease or motor oil mixed with resin, in the proportions of 2 gals. of the former to 2 lbs. of the latter, the whole heated until it becomes a thin liquid. This mixture will harden on the steel surface (it is not influenced by summer heat or winter cold), forming a thin film which is easily removed as soon as the sleigh is used, and thus enabling the horse or machine to haul a full load almost from the beginning of hauling, particularly when this is done from strip or branch roads."

CANADA SAVINGS BONDS FOR BUSHWORKERS The fifth series of Canada Savings Bonds is to be offered to the Canadian public during a three week period commencing October 10th. In the four issues offered each fall since the war, these bonds have recorded a steadily increasing popularity with small investors particularly those employed in industry where payments can be made over a period of months through payroll deduction. Lastt fall no less than 8180 employed persons bought a total of $2,287,900 of bonds in the Thunder Bay, Kenora and Rainy River district alone. With bush work becoming a more steady occupation there should be an increasing demand on the part of bush workers for the privilege of buying bonds through Payroll deduction. The bonds are most attractive. They bear 2 ¾ per cent interest, nearly twice the bank rate, and can be turned into cash at any time at Once Old Paul had a terrible mishap.

The rainy weather this Spring and Summer ha:been probably the greatest influence in keeping the number of forest fires as low as they are this year. Des pite the weather conditions, there have still been, .: shown in the table, 805 fires n Ontario. It is interesting to note that only 21 of these fires occurred on woods operations. While it is interesting tc note this factor, it is also seen by the table that all o these fires were due to some failure to provide proper safety appliances or to exercise proper care in the handling of fire and burning smoking materials. Still further educational work is necessary amongst woods employees so that eventually fires such as these wi II not happen. It is also interesting to note the acreage of the firef caused by logging operations. The small acreage concerned speaks well of the fire fighting organization ir camps. It is realized that to keep fires confined to a smat.: area requires quick action on a pre-arranged plan. I would seem that definite headway has been made in thi~ regard. DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS EXPERIMENTS WITH FIRE LINE PLOUGH A Michigan Fire Line Plough, which was designed by Mr. Gilbert Stewart of the U.S. Forest Service, has been used experimentally in fire districts in NorthJ western Ontario this summer.

Products Wood Preservation By R. J. PRETTIE* One half o,f the world doesn't know how the other half lives. Very few of us realize how the other fellow sitting next to him in this room makes his living. For example, while most people have heard of wood preservation, I am convinced that the majority of people presume it is accomplished by some method of painting with ?pecial preservative paint or, if it is to be done on a large scale, by some extensive form of dipping. Hence, I will outline my subject in a very elementary way by describing not only the purpose but also the process and finally come to the uses of treated timber. Over the years, wood has been the most adaptable and most generally used of all construction materials. Until recently it had greater strength for its weight than any other material. It is now surpassed by aluminum and magnesium. When the subject of wood comes up most of us automatically think of housing. We wonder how much wood goes into the house. The thought occurs to us that brick, stone, aluminum, pr.epared building boards, etc are replacing wood so rapidly that little thought need be given to its preservation. Actually, very little treated wood goes into house construction. There is a greater volume, however, goes into factory construction. Such wood is treated against not only decay but also against fire. However, when we get into the extensive uses of wood, that is, the places where it is used in the greatest cubic -foot volume - we find that enormous quantities are used for railroad ties, telegraph and telephone poles, for bridges, culverts, mine shafting, wharves, docks and other such structures. Hence, wood and timber is very adaptable to most forms of construction but the greatest detriment to its use is its limited life - when used untreated. Consequently, much study has gone into ways and means of extending the life of timber. Timber can be and' is destroyed by fire. Great strides have been made in developing fire retardant and fire proofing chemicals. Timber which has been treated under pressure with Zinc Chloride will not support flames. Other more costly and more complicated t-reatments wi 11 prevent the timber from qamage wh_en ex* An interesting address given to the Port Arthur Rotary Club bv Mr. R. J . Prettie, President and General Manager of the Northern Wood Preservers Ltd. posed to flames. Nevertheless, it has often been pointed out that heavy beam construction with timber is safer than construction with other materials when a structure is subjected to an intense heat of burning materials from within that structure. The !oss of timber due to fire is spectacular but the volume loss is relatively small when compared to that which is lost to decay and to insect attack. Decay is caused by small microscopic growth known as fungus (fungi). The fungus begins as a seed or a spore. It sprouts roots known as myceluim which in turn sends out feelers called hypha. These hypha penetrate the cell walls of the wood and dissolve the cellulose for food thereby weakening and eventually destroying the wood. Proper conditions of moisture, air, temperature and of course food supply are necessary for the fungus to germinate properly. Consequently, its growth can b( retarded or prevented by restricting any one of these factors. For example, if timber is kept constantly dry it will last for years and years. Furniture has been found in the tombs of the ancient Pharaohs which after several thousand years is still free from decay. Timber pilings which have been driven in fresh water will remain sound for years below the water line because the water shuts off the air and the fungus cannot germinate. Insofar as temperature is concerned, it is a well known fact that decay is less rapid in Northern climates than in Southern climates. There is no advance at all during the Winter months. However, in practice it is very difficult to control the air, the moisture or the temperature in timber that is to be used for railroad ties, poles, pilings or for other such purposes. Hence, we turn our attention to the food supply of fungus. We can't cut off this food supply but we can poison it. The preservation of wood against decay is actually accomplished by injecting solutions into the wood which will poison the food supply of the fungus. There are hundreds of solutions which will be toxic enough to prevent decay. However, a wood preservative to be of any commercial value must not only be (1) toxic but it must also be (2) easy to handle, (3) economical to use, and it must (4) remain in the wood for long periods of time. (Continued on Page 15) �PAGE 15 LOG BOOK SEPTEMaER, 1950 WOOD PR ESE RV ATION (Continued from Page 14) turn, comes from the cooking ovens of steel mills where it is a by-product. Timber which is to be creosoted or otherwise preservatively treated is always framed prior to treatment. That is, all cuts are made and all holes bored before treatment so that the preservative wi 11 penetrate al I exposed surfaces. The Creosote does not go through the timbers but it will penetrate from one half to three quarters of an inch into the surface and thus provide a protective coating through which fungus cannot penetrate. Surface or paint treatments with Creosote Oil or any other preservative are only of very temporary valuE1 when wood is exposed to the elements. After framing, the timber is loaded onto the treating trams and run into large treating retorts. These retorts are about six feet in diameter by one hundred and forty feet long. They hold from eight hundred to one thousanc, railroad ties in one treating charge or approximately two carloads. Our plant treats some six thousand ties a day. A heavy air-tight door is bolted on securely with numerous large bolts which run around the rim of the door. Air is then pumped into the treating retort and the pressure brought up to SO or 60 pounds per square inch. Creosote Oil is then pumped into the retort against this air pressure and the pressure inside the retort is then brought to 170 or 180 pounds per square inch. This pressure is maintained for a period of four to six hours. Hence, air is forced into the wood first, then Creosote Oil is forced in afterwards. When the various gauges indicate that sufficient gallonage has been pumped into the wood to assure the poundage of treatment required, the pressures are released. Pressure treating is commonly sold on the basis of eight pounds of Creosote Oil to a cubic foot of wood treated. In order to obtain this net poundage it is neces-sary to pump in about ten pounds of Creosote Oil for every cubic foot of wood in the retort because as the pressure is released, the air which was pumped into the wood initially will tend to force out some of the oil. This is what is known as "kick-back." Finally, a vacuum is drawn on the cylinder for th~ purpose of extracting the remainder of the surplus oil and drying off the wood. The theory of this treatment is that the tiny wood cells will be lined with Creosote but not full of the oil. It is known as the Empty Cell Process. It was devised in order to obtain maximum penetration of preservative in the wood with a minimum concentration of oil. Creosote Oil is costly so the final net retention is kept to the lowest economic point. The Full Cell Process is used to prevent timber from attack of animal borers such as termites, Limnoria and Toredoes. A net retention of at least l O pounds of Creo- sote Oil per cubic foot of wood on the basis of a full cell treatment is required to prevent toredo attack in Coastal waters. Railroad ties, on the other hand, are treated with a mixture of SO percent Creosote and SO percent Petroleum to a net retention of seven pounds per cubic foot of wood. The theory, in this case, is that the mechanical life of a tie may run about thirty years so there is no particular purpose in spending extra money to preserve the tie against decay for fifty or sixty years.

This is a preservative recently developed by the Bell Telephone Company. WOOD PRESERVATION (Continued from Page 15) Service records on treated timber extend back for over one hundred years. The treatment of timber comThe preservative which has best answered t~e~e qualifications has been Creosote Oil. Creosote Ori _1s obtained from the distillation of Coal Tar. Coal Tar, in menced first in England and on the Continent early in the nineteenth century. On this continent service records extend back sixty and seventy years. O~e classic example of service life is the Lake Pontchartrain Trestle. This is a railway trestle over eleven -miles long, built over a brakish swam~ near New Orleans in 1882. A recent inspect.or and test of its timbers established that they still have 90 percent of their original strength. Untreated timber installed under similar conditions has not lasted over two years. Pole service records are more recent but already these indicate a service life of 50 years and upwards. Highway culverts and bridges have had similar service records. Treated timber is particularly adaptable to these uses since it is more resilient and consequently not subject to cracking and crumbling from continu_ous freezing and thawing. Nor is it affected by corrosion, rust alkali or ground acids. In cases where roads have to be changed (and new construction is seldom located in a place where it does not have to be changed) treated timber has a very high salvage value. Structures can be dismantled and moved to a new location. It is interesting to note that one pole line in England was moved three times in a period of some 60 years. It was a rural line when originally installed. Later it was replaced with a heavier lead. The poles were transferred to another rural location. The same replacement took place again some years later with little if any loss of the original material. The Company with whom I am associated - Northern Wood Preservers Limited of Port Arthur, Ontario I hesitate to mention for fear of being charged witr commercialism. However, this company was established in 1935 on the basis of straight custom creosoting of customer's products. Port Arthur is a very logical and strategic location for such business since it is the furthest point West that Creosote Oil, Tar or other such preservatives can be moved by water (that is, by boa_t) to meet the large timbers coming from the West by rail Furthermore, it is a focal point for local timber production in areas from Kenora and Rainy River to as far East as Hornepayne and Sudbury. Since 1935 we have expanded into Zinc Chloride, Competition forced us to produce our own Creosote Oil so we now bring Coal Tar up the lakes by tanker from Hamilton and Sault Ste. Marie which we distill into Creosote Oi I and other by-products ot Port Arthur. One by-product is a domestic Coke, another is a Pitch. This latter product is a new diversion for us. It is being used as a base for making pipe enamel. The Koppers Company of Pittsburg have erected a plant at Port Arthur for making this enamel and are now supplying the coating for the new inter-provincial pipe-line. Our company is also engaged in the woods end of the business. We operate our own timber limits from which we cut poles, pulpwood, sawlogs. We operate ou, own sawmill, dry kiln and planer mill at Port Arthur. Hence, from a small and single purpose beginning we are now in a position to furnish a very complete service and have built up a very nice industry at the Head of the Lakes. We employ approximately 300 men in the plant when operating to capacity and about the same number in the woods. We maintain an office in Toronto and we also have the controlling interest in a ~mall plant in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

Building employee cooperation in safety programs is a tough supervisory job: it takes the diplomacy of an ambassador, the firmness of a traffic cop. Disregard o{ regulation is often a deep-seated attitude. The lathe hand who balks at wearing safety goggles probably drove his school-teachers wild, too. By the time he gets tc you, he has a fine disregard for regulations that is hard to shake. Here are four pointers that have worked in other plants. Perhaps your methods should include them : 1-Have as Few Rules as Possible Keep your list of safety rules as short as you can, but see that the ones you do have are observed. Don't let your men confuse its brevity with its importance. When a regulation no longer makes sense, junk it. Don't keep a rule on the books simply because its always been there. Let your supervisors in on the job of setting up a list of workable rules: their closer contacts with job hazards will make them invaluable. 2-Speak to Offenders Privately . Respect a man's dignity - never dress him down in front of other employees. Humiliating him before a crowd of gawking onlookers turns a serious job into 2 sideshow, makes the offender resentful, anxious to ge'Y even. Have the worker come to your desk - or at least take him away from his work area - if you have something to say to him. Be as inconspicuous as possible about calling men aside: don't bellow at them over the roar of shop noise~ 3-Be Completely Fair Always Favoritism is fatal - steer clear of it whatever yo,. do. Treat all workers alike. Consistent fairness in yousupervision is one sure way of gaining worker confidencr and cooperation. When you discipline a worker, let hirr' know that he is getting exactly the same treatment anyone else would receive under similar circumstances Do everything possible to get at the root of eac 1 problem: try to find out why the man does what he doe~ Make sure the employee knows which rule he brokr - find out whether he knew about it when he broke it If he doesn't know the rule, set him straight and SE'' that everyone else who should know about it is properly informed. 4-Crack Down When You Have To See to it that everyone knows where you stand o· safety regulation infractions, what you intend to cl about them. Don't be vague. Let workers know how yo· feel about constant offenders. Be consistent: stick t your guns. Investigate each offense carefully. Double chec' your information to avoid having to change your decision when overlooked evidence is dug up. If something in favor of the man you've punished turns up, however, don't hesitate to set things straight. If the offender has been warned before, do what you warned him you'd do: warnings are effective only when people know they'll be carried through. -Timber Producers Bulletin ENGLISH CLASSES IN CAMP MAY BE ARRANGED "Leisure Time Learning" is offered to New Canadians willing to avail themselves of this opportunity.

Leaving the board rates the same means that operators are absorbing the increased cost of providing board and lodging.

Of special interest to woodsworkers is the Salvation Army, the St Joseph's Manor, the John Howard Society. Other agencies are the Children's Aid Society, Victorian Order of Nurses, tha Canadian National Institute of the Blind, St. John's Ambulance Council, the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides Associations, Navy League of Canada and the Thunder Bay Humane Society. Last year, aided by volunteer work by camp foremen, clerks and union stewards, woodsworkers donated $3654.30 to the fund. Total receipts were $38,291.00 . This year the objective is $39,000 and woods workers are asked again to contribute. Your donations will help men of the woods that need help from time to time. BE GENEROUS !

Cox, Concession Forester Introduction In order to obtain information on partial cutting, it was decided in 1948 to inaugurate experiments in marking certain stands of timber. Up to the present time, marking and partial cutting have been confined to certain specific situations (some of which will be described later). However, it is hoped that these experiments will supply us with the necessary knowledge, that when the need for more intensive foresttry warrants this type of logging method, we will be prepared to conduct such logging on a sound basis. In the following article I have tried to describf opportunities of application, systems and methods of marking, and marking tools. I have given also a brief outline· of some marking we have done. • I Opportunities For Marking We have carried on marking and partial cutting in the following types of area: __ l. Reserve Areas - There are large areas reserved from clear cutting by the Department of Lands and Forests. These include 500 and 300 foot strips around many lake shores and a 600 foot reserve strip on each side of the Trans-Canada and the Kenora-Fort Frances Highways. These areas contain many thousands of cords of valuable wood which can be used (to the advantage of both the Company and the public) if we mark and make partial cuttings. 2. Immature Areas These areas are often very accessible and much valuable wood may be obtained by making thinnings. 3. Very Valuable Mature Areas These mature areas n;iay be maintained at their high value or may be increased in value by proper cutting practices - i. e., partial cutting so as to favour the more valuable species or products, and to encourage regeneration. Marking System The following are some if the rules we have endeavoured to folfow: 1. As small a percentage of volume as is economically feasible is marked - usually from 25 % 30 % in order to avoid windthrow. In exposed places little or none may be marked. 2. Valuable species are favoured although trees marked and removed must be those which can be used. 3. Trees to be reserved should have good crowns. 4. Proper spacing is attempted in the residual stand. 5. Diameter limit is rarely used. 6. Usable defective or degenerating trees are marked for remova I. Marking Method Any size crew from 2 to 5 men may be used, but a 3-man crew has been found to be most practicable. The 3-man crew consists of one guide and talleyman and two markers. Depending upon the experience of the crew, the, guide and talleyman may be in charge and give directions for marking, or the two markers may mark on their own. The guide and talleyman is .equipped with tally book, compass, and steel tape, so that trees may be tallied as marked; also that strips accurate as to direction, length and width, may be worked. This allows leyman to keep close record of the volume being marked. The markers are equipped with marking calipers. Trees to be removed are marked on osite sides and at the base of the stump so th supervision is possible during cutting. As t marked, they are calipered and called to the ta One marker works on each side of the talleym the steel tape as the dividing line. Marking is done on adjacent strips, the the strip being varied according to the densi trees in the stand. However, width of strip is accurately so that volume per acre may be de quickly. Marking Tools There are three types of tools which we h These are described briefly below: l. The marking axe. This is a very simple a tool although not economical in an exten king operation. It has the added disadvan if the blazed trees are not cut they are to infection. Our marking axes are light and equipped with a distinctive stamp back of the head. 2. Paint Sprayer.

The powder mark is not as paint, (except on the workman's clo Outline of Partial Cutting Done Our first partial cutting was done by a in 1948, in a 60-year old jackpine stand havi derstory of spruce and balsam. Partial cutting ned here because the stands were dense an it was hoped regeneration of spruce and bal come in thereafter. Approximately l 000 cor pine were marked and removed using a s system. Two interesting points that came job were: l.

Great care must be taken in order windfall in partially-cut stands. Due that a higher percentage of trees we were marked, heavy windfall resulted in the understory of spruce and ba!sha derstory had grown up thickly wit poor root systems.

THE FORESTER TO-DAY SHOULD BE A LOGGER AND A ROAD BUILDER The editorial in the August issue of the Canadian Pulp and Paper Magazine featured a review of the carrear of Dr. C. A. Schenck, a distinguished German Forestes who recently made a farewell tour of the United States and Canada. At a testimonial dinner Dr. Schenck declared "The Forester today should be a logger and road-builder". It was the eminent teacher's way of saying that the forester shou.,ld, in the first place, be practical anc no occupant of an ivory tower; that he should concern himself with the details of the actual removal of the forest crop in order that he might better carry out hi[ job of crop care and replenishment. And he shoul~ above all, advocate and practice the policy of fire prevention and control in order that his crop3 should not be destroyed. Thus Dr. Schenck strongly urged that logging roads made for the removal of the virgin crop should be maintained as a means of giving protective access to the next forest, ainly as a fire-fighting facility. /J,,/Jl'OVS #e &King In Your Camp Cookhouse ! ~-,.---- ., • age 9) IT'S AFREE SERVIUE When it comes to baking, camp workers demand the best!

In the morning Company representatives attended a limbing demonstration in the woods near Camp 40. A LongLac cutter, Nick Bond, demonstrated his method of cutting and limbing and briefly explained to representatives his reasons. K. Eoll, Branch Secretary, took moving pictures of the demonstration and it is planned to develop a movie which will be of use to member Companies as a training and safety film. Following lunch, the meeting convened in the Long Lac recreation room and included on the program were: A talk by Nick Bond giving "A Cutter's Views on Safe Practices." Mr. D. B. Chant presented "Report on Analysis of Axe Injuries in Pulpwood Logging". (Class 11). (The paper is reprinted in this SAFETY SECTION.) Mr. L. M. Lein presented a paper entitled "A Logging Superintendent Looks at Safety". Mr. T. S. Jones reported the 153 safety signs were purchased through the Thunder Bay Timber Members Association and are in camps throughout Northwestern Ontario. In additio~ some companies are having a similar type of safety sign made and it is estimated that over 200 camps will have this CONSTANT DAILY REMINDER TO ALL EMPLOYEES TO WORK SAFELY. The meeting cloesd with a dinner tendered to representatives by the LongLac Pulp and Paper Company Limited with Mr. A. F. Buell, Woods Manager, acting· as host. REPORT ON ANALYSIS OF AXE INJURIES IN PULPWOOD LOGGING By D. B. Chant, Secretary-Engineer, Ontario Pulp and Paper Makers Safety , Association In woods operations of member companies during the l 0-year period, 194 l through 1950,. axe wounds made up 22.7% of the total number of disabling injuries, or somewhat more than one case in five, while for the calendar year 1950 alone, they represent 25.7% of the total. It would seem, therefore, that efforts to reduce the number of axe cuts, if successful, would have a profound beneficial effect on the overall frequency of disabling work injuries in pulpwood logging operations. No other type of injury is so frequently the cause of disability among woods employees and, while the average severity of axe wounds is probably somewhat lower than that of other kinds of injuries in the woods, many of them are quite serious and in the aggregate they amount to an imposing sum of human misery, lost earnings and interference with production. As a possible bas i s for intelligent planning of measures aimed at preventing axe wounds, the following data has been tabulated from this Association'~ records covering the pulpwood logging seasons of 1949 /50 and 1950/5 l in eluding only those cases of injury due to the use (or misuse) of axes which result- SAFE ed in disability for which the injured workman compensation. The work of compilation has been caref but it should be observed here that its accurac erned by that of the details given in the empl ports covering the individual cases (W.C.B. since the bas i c information was secured f source. tSee Table 1, Opposite Page.) As should be expected from the nature of and the tool, it is apparent that about 3 out wounds affect the lower limb below the knee, than one-half of the total injuries being su the ankles, feet and toes, and a further one valving the knees or shins of workmen. Fingers and thumbs were injured by a less often than were toes but, possibly due t comparable protection, amputations of the for ly outnumbered the lost toes. So much for the injuries themselves. A has been made to learn something of the way these were incurred by examining the sort of ing done at the time of the injury, again relyi original reports for the necessary informatio suit of that research is summarized below: Table 2.

A High School Forestry PrograDl in Northwestern Ontario By W. S. Moore and advisory committee including members school board, faculty, and Foresters from th Paper Co. Ltd. was set up to help the D representative in any way possible. Several of this committee were held to iron out det ministration, to reach agreement on proce to plan out future field trips. During the past school year a Forestry course was initiated in the Dryden High School. This course, the first of its kind in Ontario, was the result of a co-operative effort between the local school board and staff and the Department of Lands and Forests of Ontario to put across in the schools an understanding of the value and proper management of our vast forest heritage, which plays so important an economic role in this part of the Province. In this undertaking they were assisted in various ways by the Dryden Paper Company Limited. The idea for such a course in the, High School originated with the chairman of the local school board who foresaw the desireability of Forestry education for the younger people of the District. His idea was sold to the Department of Lands and Forests, their help enlisted , and permission to go ahead obtained from the Department of Education. The course of study was set up by the Kenora District Forester to teach the basic fundamentals of Forestry over a two year period. Sound management, especially in the woodlots, protection, conservation and the job industry and the government are doing are stressed to impart a general understanding of sound forest practises. The lectures cover a wide range of subjects, from the meaning of the terms "Forestry" and "Sustained Yield", through a description of the forest itself tree associations, soils, value of the forest in preventing erosion, its effect on climate, growth, etc., to the more advanced lessons on restocking, artificial reforestation, and the parts played by fire, insects and disease. The second year course, which will begin in September deals with the more practical and advanced aspects, s u c h a s estimating timber, the various wood products, how much to cut, cutting methods, kinds of forests, tending a forest and finally logging methods. Throughout the course maximum use is made of visual aids to training, such as films on methods and use of equipment, r.1s well as field trips to actually see the "Woods in Action". In addition, several of the texts which have been specially prepared for such a job and such an audience are used. They are: Practical Woodlot Management, Forest Trees of Ontario, The Farm Woodlot, Forest Tree Planting, etc. A steering An integral part of the course is actu the field on the High School woodlot. Thi comprises an 80 acre tract donated by Dry Co.

FORT WILLIAM, ONTARIO • STANDARD SOLID TOOTH CIRCULAR S CHISEL TOOTH CIRCULAR SAWS PLAN ER KN IVES, BAND SAWS Barking of Wood by T. N. McLenaghen In order to make pulp of good quality it is neeessary to remove the bark from a!I the wood e~tering any newsprint or pulp manufacturing plant. ~his bark has little or no fibre value and consumes chemicals and steam in cooking as well as taking up valuable space, with no return. Specks of bark make dirty pulp a nd paper and it is easier to remove dirt .fro.m th e woo~ than remove it from the pulp. Two principal types 01 equipment are used; barking drums and .knife ~arkers. Due to the big wood loss encountered with knife bark ers they are used only where absolute cleanliness of the Wood is essential. The barking drums are by far the preo dominant method in use today., a nd almo st 1O % ir use in Northwestern Ontario. The continuous system is best adapted to present day conditions and is the most used. In this system, the wood is fed automatically into one end of. the barking drum where is is tumbled about and automatically discharged at the other end. Barking drums may vary in size and construction detail but generally speaking they a_ll work on the same principle. A 12' diameter, 45' length is a size very often encountered these days. The logs are conveyed to the upper end of th~ drum and are slid down an intake chute into the drum in which they are tumbled about. This tumbling rubs off the bark which passes out through narrow slots between the ~tructural sections of which the drum is built; the logs being retained in the drum until they work their way out at the discharge end. • The disadvantages of this system are that the ends of the logs become more or less broomed and particles of dirt are often driven into the ends of the logs. These particles later appear in the paper and are a sourc.e of annoyance. Also, logs may remain in the drum for a considerable time and may finally be discharged badly slivered, causing a loss of wood. When logs of wood not completely barked are discharged from the drum, they are returned to the intakt: end of the drum by means of a special return conveyor The principal advantage of this system is that the bar:is quickly and cheaply .removed from the logs withou1 any great waste of wood, as is the case with the variou types of knife barkers. The usual method to aid in removal of the bark from the logs and in the cleaning of the woods is to run the drum open and use sprays at both ends of the drum. Variations in the capacity of barking drums are due to the following conditions: The length of time the wood has b water. (b) The season in which the wood is take water. (c) Whether the logs were driven in strea rapids or quiet water. (d) Whether the wood is allowed to sta after being hauled from the water directly through the slasher to the d The treatment th e wood gets in the wat factq_r; the more barking it gets in shooting r the less work for the barkers. To obtain the best results from any ty ing drum, namely, the greatest amount of w i th the least number of broomed ends, should be run half full of wood. Wood bark having smooth interiors will have less broo ends of logs than when there is a projecti kind on the inside, regardless of whether ions be angles or corrugate.d sections. A fairly new development in barkers hydraulic barking, has been developed on Coast. In this method the logs are barked the aid of a very high pressure stream of tears the bark off the logs. This high pr stream is directed against the logs by an has proven very successful on the coast w a very large size exist.

NATIONAL FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCTOBER 5th TO 11th National Fire Prevention Week, October 5th to 11th, is the week set aside for business, industry and citizens in communities in United States and Canada to get their places of business, factories, houses in order in preparation for the winter season. Everyone is urged by Fi re Underwriters and by Fire Chiefs to clean out the rubbish, get things in shipshape order and to make a special effort in this week to· reduce all fire hazards. This week could well be used for the same pur-• pose in the woods camps in Northwetsern Ontario. Each winter there are a number of fires in bunk houses, machine shops, etc., and it behooves every supervisor in the woods industry to check up on fire prevention activities and fire suppression methods. Here are some of the hazards to be checked not only during fire prevention week but also on regular check-up basis: Blow torches Electrical wiring Roof jacks Cook stoves Exhaust pipes Stove pipe clearance Dampers Smoking in bed Stove pipe bracings Heaters oil Spark arrestors Stove pipes Heaters coal and wood Coleman lamps, stable lanterns Use of gasoline, coal-oil and Welding precautions fuel oil Fire extinguishers and other equipment available for suppressing fire should be examined and men in the camps should know how to use the different types. Each camp should have a fire plan and fire regulations should be posted so that men know what to do in case of fire breaking out. CO-OPERATE DURING FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCTOBER 5th - 11th THE RED FEATHER FLIES AGAIN With the fall weather and the colouring in the forest turning red and gold comes the annual RED FEATHER campaigns of Community Chests and similar welfare organizations across the Dominion. Local needs are set forth in local programs and the logic of consol idating appeals for the support of community welfare activity is generally recognized. In the Lakehead area the campaign starts September 29th and runs through unti I October 18th. Mr. F. C. Brown, retired Manager of the Thunder Bay Paper Mill, is the genaral chairman of the Port Arthur Campaign and T. S. Jones of the Thunder Bay Timber Operators' Association is again in charge of the woods canvass. This year there are eleven agencies sponsored by the Community Chest. Of special interest to woods 'workers are the Sailors' Institute and the Salvation Army. Other agencies are: Children's Aid Society, Victorian Order of Nurses; Canadian National Institute for the Blind; St. John's Ambulance Council; Navy League of Canada; St. Joseph's Manor; Girl Guides Associatiol'"!; John Howard Society; Thunder Bay Humane Society. - {Continued on Pc1ge 22) �PAGE 4 LOG BOOK Sealing Forest Products By W. J. L. Murphy In the harvesting of our forest crop the measurement of the timber produced is an important part of the operation. The purpose of scaling might be summarized as follows: ( l) To establish the amount of timber produced. (2) To determine the amount of timber the seller has delivered and the amount the purchaser has received. (3) To determine the amounts due to pieceworkers, sub-contractors and/ or contractors. The measurement of timber in Ontario is usually carried out by scalers who are licensed and approved by the Department of Lands and Forests. Depending upon the purpose of the measurement the scaler may be employed either by the Department 0f Lands and Forests or by an individual timber contractor or by ,_ large company. Since large amounts of money are involved in the measurement it is essential that the scaler be intelligent, honest and industrious. He must also have sound judgment as well as experience. Furthermore he must have the courage of his convictions since he must measure and record what he believes to be the proper content of the timber that he measures regardless of whatever pressure may be brought to bear to influence his judgment. Sawlogs are usually scaled in skidways in the bush or on bank landings but occasionally they are measured over the sawmill i{3ckadder. Each sawlog is measured and recorded according to species, length and top diameter after making neessary reductions for any appa 1·ent defect. These measurements are extended into board feet. However it is occasionally necessary to express the measurement of sawlogs in cords. This can be accomplished by measuring and recording the butt _and top diameter of each sawlog and extending in cubic feet. The total cords of any sawlog production clan also be found by making a sample cube scale. When the average cubic feet per log for each species, as found in the sample cube scale, is applied to the total number of logs of each species the result will est;ablish the total solid cubic feet of sawlog production. This result can then be expressed in cords of sawlogs. Pulpwood cut in 4 ft. and 8 ft. lengths is custo- marily measured in stacked cords but occasional c.ube scaled. Pulpwood cut in longer lengths is cube scaled by measuring each log on one end skidway only and recording the species length a meter after making any necessary reduction for The recorded measurements are then expressed feet and the total cubic feet converted to eit or cunits depending on the procedure required employer. The measurement of 4 ft. and/or 8 ft. in stacked cords is e quick and relatively in method of measurement but in order to get evaluation of the solid wood content it is es make a sample cube scale. Through applicati law of simple sampling the average solid cubi cord can be found by a 3 % cube scale. When version factor as established by the 3 % cu applied to the total cords scaled, the result total solid cubic feet of pulpwood produ method of evaluating the solid content of measured in stacked cords can be applied to and piled in the woods, measured on trucks road cars. It has been found that cube seal closest one-half inch is entirely satisfactory Evaluation of solid wood content by m er immersion and also by photographic m not proven very practical to date particularly pulpwood. Check scalers are employed in orde careful measurement on the part of the duty of the check scaler is to check scale a centage of the timber previously measured The fact that the scaler knows that part measurements may be check scaled tends to his toes and to avoid any carelessness on is particularly true when the comparison scale and the check scale is made by a th The careful measurement of forest plays a part in forest management since th as established by the scale, is compared to yield from the data compiled by the tim Since wood costs per unit are based measurement it is essential that the wor scaler be carried out in an exceedingly manner.

Designated by O-M's forest management department as the Manitou limits, an estimated 180 woodsmen will harvest more than 13,000 cords of wood from the wilderness area this winter. The concession has been sub-divided into -14 camp operating areas. Three camps have been or are in the process of Qeing e~tablished near or on Manitou Lake, with a fourth c·a mp located on Big Rainy Lake. These camps will be operating this winter. . Next spring the Manitou logs will be floated down Manitou Lake, through the Manitou Riyer rapids, across Sphene Lake and over the Cascades_to Rainy Lake. The logs will be gathered in booms and ' towed across Rainy Lake to the O-M pulp and paper mi 11 • at Fort Frances. Ii, the interest of maximum utilization the larger mate'h al will be converted for uses ·other than pulpwood. Several summers ago, company officials reached an agreement with the Provincial government for cutting operations in the area. Some time later, the limits were cruised . In 1950 the Big Canoe area near and south of Manitou Lake was cruised and added to the concession. The cruisers' findings showed that the area consisted of about 535,221 acres of which 392,991 acres were considered productive timber land, or about 27 per cent is unproductive land .

Two roads, one leading 15 miles M-400 on the upper reaches of Rainy Lak Lake, and another pushing its way 25 mile Manitou Lake to the remote se·c tions of concessions, were scheduled. The 15-mile logging road from the camp on Rainy Lake presented major road lems to the crews as .it twisted and turned and swamps. Modern earth moving equi ing bulldozers, a Malo front-end loader trucks were used. The 25-mile stretch of winter road Lake to northern parts of the limits, whe productive timber lands are located, wil constructed over frozen ground. The two roads are connected by aw Manitou Lake.

"Alcoholic" as used here means anyone whose drinking results in misery, sickness, regret, despondency, lost opportunities, unhappy family relationships, grief and trouble in general. By "alcoholic" it means anyone whose body chemistry is such that they are supersensitive to the effects of alcohol. An Alcoholic is anyone whose body chemistry makes moderate, social drinking impossible. Just as a hay fever victim is allergic to certain foods ... just as the skin of some people is allergic to contact with wood or nylon . . . THE ALCOHOLIC IS ALLERGIC TO ALCOHOL. It is not a question of moral depravity. The alcoholic has an allergy . . . something the alcoholic and public in general does not understand until it is properly explained. A person who is an alcoholic can resign himself to one of the following: Death by an avoidable accident, Complete physical or mental break-down or a miserable and poverty-ridden old age. That alcoholics are a social problem is recognized by the Alcoholism Research Foundation which is operated under a grant from the Ontario Department of Health which recently announced a grant of $6,000.00 to Queen's University, Kingston, to finance a research project entitled "A Survey of the Incidence of Alcoholism in Ontario." "A. A." - Alcoholics Anonymous is an association formed in the last few years. A.A. is not a thing of magic which transforms the mer:nber overnight.

H. Jefferson, of the American Pulpwood Association re po rt s in a release that a light weight, compact fire extinguisher known as the "Hero Fire Extinguisher" manufactured by Bostwick Laborators, Inc., Bridgeport 5, Connecticut, was recently brought to his attention. This fire extinguisher is specifically applicable to use with power saw equipment as well as to offices and camp buildings. Its size (2~/2" diameter by 5" height) makes it handy to carry in field tool boxes, trucks, tractors, jeeps, etc. According to the manufacturer, it shoots an 18 foot stream of fire-fighting carbon tetrachloride, is hermetically sealed and cannot leak, requires no inspection and is not affected by age. The mechanism is simple to operate - a ring on top of the can is pulled, and it sprays a stream up or down. It sells for $1.29 * In tests conducted near Bucksport, Maine, recently, gasoline was poured over 1' by 6' rags. This gasoline naturally soaked through the rags and into the gravel on the ground. The rags were ignited, and the "Hero" extinguisher applied. A record was not kept of the ex-act time required to extinguish the blaze, but the "Hero" did the job, with fluid to spare. icultural Research Note No. 99 Thinning k Pine ,Nisbet Forest Reserve, Saskatchewan, ject M.

The representatives toured the Marathon operations Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Representatives saw the slasher operations, the yarding operations and the bundle yarding operations, both by day shifts and by night shifts. At the meeting held Wednesday afternoon, Mr. W. Mair welcomed the representatives on behalf of the Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited. Mr. John Currie Chairman of the Branch, was in the chair and was assisted by Mr. K. G. Eoll, Secretary. Mr. D. B. Chant, Secretary-Engineer of the parent association, reported on the Safety, Research and Development Committee appointed and also gave Injury Frequency Experiences up to May 31, 1952 as compared to the years 1947 to 1951. Mr. J. Benet of the Ontario Paper Company pre,s ented a paper "Safety on Ontario Paper Company operations at Heron Bay, Ontario." There was a general discussion held on the indirect costs of accidents and what makes up these costs. Mr. Frank Dennison, Northwestern Ontario rep·resentative of the Workmen's Compensation Board addressed the meeting and the meeting concluded with a round table discussion on the topic "What's the Matter with Woods Safety Programs?" SUPERVISORS, FOREMEN, CLERKS MUST SET EXAMPLE At a recent Safety Meeting the results of using Safety Toe Rubbers in the camps last winter were discussed. During the course of discussion, one or two speakers reported that they had been told by a foreman or clerk that the rubbers were cold and cases of frost bite resulted from wearing these shoes. Such reports when run down were found to be "hearsay" and reports from other sources including reports from peop!e who had actually worn the Safety Toe Rubbers denied these stories. It is recommended that, in all cases where safety equipment of any type is introduced in the camp, an example be set by supervisory personnel down to and including foremen and clerks so that the workers know that the people directing their activities are using the same equipment as they are. This should result in having better reports on the various safety wearing apparel being tried out and should also encourage the workmen to try out the apparel.

It was generally agreed that the signs were useful as a CONSTANT DAILY REMINDER to men to work safely and that if the number of days worked without a lost time accident were kept up to date and the figures changed daily, the woodsworkers would be interested in the results and would THINK AND WORK SAFELY. An excellent suggestion was made that an extra line be added on the Board to show "Date of last accident". IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE COMPANIES ARRANGE TO HAVE PUT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOARD ANOTHER LINE STATING: "DATE OF LAST ACCIDENT" In this way the men will be able to tell at a glance whether the clerk is keeping .the Board up to date and be able to check on the information on the Board. It is believed that a camp of the Ontario-Minnesota Pulp and Paper Company, Limited, Fort Frances Division, leads in the number of days without a lost time accident. At Aug. 31st, 1952, Camp S-105, under the direction of William Spuzak had worked 436 days without a lost time accident. The date of the last accident was June 22nd, 1951. Camp S-108, under direction of Josef Paronto was close behind with 303 days. How about other companies? Can anybody touch these two O-M camps ? �LOG BOOK PAGE 14 Foremen, Clerks, Personnel and Safety Men: Here's the third of a series of articles The Workmen's Compensation Board of Ontario.

The dams gave the required water for sluicing logs down the river on the spring freshet. Dams were constructed at the Cascades and at Sphene Lake, just north of the Cascades. The Provincial government rebui It an old government dam, where the water of Manitcu Lake flows into Manitou River. Camp site M-401 is located on the upper part of Manitou Lake. Several bunk-houses for Camp M-402 on Kaminni Lake and M-403 at Noonan are being constructed and will be ready for use this winter. The opening of the Manitou concession shows how an area, once cut , over for saw logs can, through modern forest management practices, be utilized and per:.. petuated as a source of new wealth year after year. • E WORLD'S MOST PORTABLEt SA\\1 MILL ''Proven in the Woods'' UP FOR SAWING N 30 MINUTES § READY TO MOVE 15 MINUTES AFTER SAW STOPS § CAN BE TOWED JY TRUCK AT 45 M.

Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited: During the past year one new camp at Hillsport was built. This camp is modern in every way. It is on the main line of the C.N.R. and has a private spur which leads in to the warehouse and other loading facilities. The camp consists of the following buildings: rA dormitory for 160 men. There are 80 rooms, each designed for two men. The rooms are completely enclosed .with door. The building also contains two washrooms with hot and cold running water, showers, etc. There .are four drying rooms. The building is heated by oil and is air-conditioned throughout. A dining hall and cookery which will seat 180 men at once and in a pinch could handle 200. All cooking and water heating are done with propane. One duplex domicile, part of which is for cooks, the 'Other part for cookees. There are separate entrances, and this building is complete with showers, oil heating and air-conditioning. One staff quarters with eight rooms which can accommodate up to 12 - 15 people. There is a spacious living room here. This building too is complete with running water, showers, oil heating and air-conditioning. One recreation hall very much the same as the standard halls in other camps. Three residences, each with three bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and plenty of closet space. These homes are modern in every respect. They are heated by oil and are air-conditioned. One office, which contains a regular office and van. Besides the foregoing, there are service buildings which include a pump-house, workshop; power plant, storage garage; warehouse and a few others. There are also improvements and additions to other depots and camps. At Caramat, for example, a dormitory similar to the one described above but having space for 176 men is-being built. Some new homes are also being aded to Caramat. The number will depend largely on the time available between now and freeze-up. Caramat will also boast a new school and a building housing the Ladies' Club. A new building is also bein~ constructed there for the teacher. Camp 53 has made a net gain of one home. Act1 ually two have been built but one of them was a replacement for a home that burned down last winter. There will be few, if any, alterations or changes at Stevens Depot except perhaps an imp roved water supply system and the addition of one or two homes. At Camp 5 a new office, new quarters for the cooks and cookees and a new dining hall and cookery along the same plans as the one at Hillsport already described are being built. One or two new homes will also be added.

Box 7851 St. John's, NflcL �PAGE 22 LOG BOOK Services of The t:ommunity Programmes Drane By H. E. Thomas "You're not tired, you only think you're tired. Come on you Let's Go." Many of us have heard or may have shouted these words of the army sergeant. All of us have felt the "lift" that a change of pace - doing something different gives us. Doctors, governments, municipalities, industries, and a host of agencies and individuals are preaching and reaping the benefits of a "change of pace" or Recreation. Recreation is big business. A rough estimate is that 25% of our national income is expended upon leisure time or recreational activities and for commodities consumed during leisure.' The average individual has about the same 25% of his time exclusive of sleep to devote to recreation. To come back to our opening statement "You only think you're tired." - The clerk and cutter can both come to the end of the working day with that "pooped out" feeling. Yet get them off their backs and arguing politics, pitching horse-shoes, playing poker, whittling, blowing a mouth-organ or playing pingpang - and they come alive. We all need a change of pace - daily - a lot more than we need a bang up, blow off every three months with sore heads and empty pockets the next day. Well, your editor asked me to write about services avai Iable from the Community Programmes Branch of the Ontario Department of Education of this coming year. Instead, this article so far is about recreation and change of pace and if he doesn't "cut" the article about here I'd like to write more about Recreation. Recreation means to re-create, to restore - to get a lift - and it's a basic need in our Society. Ever since the industrial revolution and specialization of jobs, men and women don't get naturally in a day's work the variety of creative and physical activity which the struggle for existence gave our pioneer forefathers and mothers. So the efficiency experts and the doctors, ,and the psychiatrists and the industrialists advocate .and set up legislation and policy and encourage you and I and themselves to get this experience in our leisure time. There are four kinds of Recreational experience:1. Spiritual Recreation where we realize that we don't "live by bread alone." That there is a force in man and outside of man which can tune us to a closer awareness of the purpose in this universe and our part in that purpose. ~- Physical Recreation Job specialization permit all of our muscles, brain and nerves to The cutter might need books, music, discu poker. The clerk might need football, volle pong, horseshoses, discussion, or both n, some or all of these activities. 3. Social Recreation - We are not hermits us if left entirely alone for a week would eve a visit from our mother-in-law. Social rec 'lolves other people. Team games, discussion (especially square dancing), watching films, fee hour, are social experiences. 4. Creat,ve Recreation - This is where we some new knowledge "get hot on working ematical problem, invent a new grab h paint, take photographs, sing, play the paint the kitchen or learn a new language.' Now that I've got this far I'll add t have the right to choose what we do with time. Recreation programmes can't be "la above - although encouragement and cobe given. Mos~ly it6s a job of indiv~duals d they want to do and then if co-opera advisable - getting together to do the n ing.
