January 1, 1970, Thunder Bay emerged as a bright new city, the sixth largest in Ontario. This historic event occurred through the merging of The City of Fort William The City of Port Arthur The Township of Neebing The Township of McIntyre Co-operatively pro·duced by: THUNDER BAY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THUNDER BAY CONVENTION BUREAU INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF THUNDER BAY INC. For More Information Write: P.O. BOX 2000 THUNDER BAY, 'F' ONTARIO June 23, 1969, the name Thunder Bay was chosen by plebiscite. Simultaneously an election of a Mayor and 12 Aldermen took place and the following govern the City of Thunder Bay, made up of four wards, Fort William, McIntyre, Neebing and Port Arthur: Mayor Saul Laskin Aldermen Don Aedy W. M. Assef H. L. G. Badanai, Jr. H. J. Cook, Jr. Mickey Hennessy C. M. Johnston, M.D. T. J. Jones Edgar Laprade D. J. Lenardon George Lovelady W. M. Morgan Grace Remus The Council of Thunder Bay, to remain in office until Dec. 31, 1972, became operative in the latter months of 1969 smoothing out administrative and legal problems of uniting four separate units on Jan. 1, 1970. Previously elected officials of the amalgamated communities continued in office until Dec. 31, 1969, when all assets and liabilities of the Corporation were officially turned over to the new city. As far back as the early 1900's, individuals had advocated the amalgamation of the two cities commonly known The Lakehead. Now as one unit, the historical background of the communities will be retained with their designation as Wards of the city. Thunder Bay will continue to be regarded as the capital city and administrative headquarters of the District of Thunder Bay. The City of Thunder Bay is located at the western Canadian end of Lake Superior on the north shore of Thunder Bay. Canada's newest city is 861 road miles northwest of Toronto, 424 miles east of Winnipeg and 348 miles north of Minneapolis. Third largest Canadian port in total tonnage handled, Thunder Bay is the western terminus of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence deep waterway. Thunder Bay is a transportation centre of mid-Canada and is served by Trans-Continental Railways, three scheduled airlines, intercontinental bus service, the Trans-Canada Highway and the St. Lawrence Seaway. The vast district of Thunder Bay, of which the city of Thunder Bay is the hub, covers 52,471 square miles extending from White River on the east to English River on the west and bounded on the north by the Albany River and Lake Superior on the south. The city rests on a delta of the Kaministiquia River, 18 miles downstream from Kakabeka Falls and extends northeastward upon a series of natural terraces. From the terraces, the shoreline, Mount McKay, Thunder Bay and the giant elevators unfold a panoramic view reminiscent of the renowed Bays of Naples and famous fiords of Norway. Thunder Cape, a part -o f Sibley Penninsula, resembles the unique natural shape of a sleeping giant Nanabijou of Indian lore. The "Giant" guards Thunder Bay 18 miles off shore and rises 1100 feet and stretches 6½ miles long. From the mainland it gives the impression of a mighty Indian warrior resting on the water, hence the popular designation - The Land of the Sleeping Giant. 3 �HISTORICAL Prior to the spreading French exploration through the Great Lakes Basin from New France, the Ojibway Indians inhabited the shores of Thunder Bay and the inland lakes. Even today, descendants of the Ojibway tribes live on reservations at the foot of Mount McKay and Squaw Bay. The District of Thunder Bay is steeped in Indian tradition. "Kaministiquia", the present name of the river flowing through Thunder Bay is Indian and has been interpreted in two ways 'the long winding river' and 'the river with three mouths.' The famous French explorers, Radisson and Groseilliers, are credited with the early explorations of the north shore of Lake Superior, around 1659. There is mention, also, of trading concessions being extended to a leading fur trader of those days, Sieur Dupuy, who explored the watershed of Lake Nipigon, 60 miles east of Thunder Bay. Missionaries and traders continued to spread westward along Lake Superior shore. The first recorded trading post established, on the site of the present city, was in 1679 when Daniel Greysolon Sieur du Lhut (founder of Duluth, Minnesota) built a trading post and fort on the south bank of the river near its mouth and called it "FORT CAMINISTIGOYAN". It flourished for a number of years. With other interests taking the attention of French officials at the time, the fort gradually had little use. The only recorded use made in subsequent years was a visit in 1688 by Jacques De Noyon, a trader from Trois Rivieres, who was searching for a route to China. In 1717 a Canadian officer of the time, Robertel De La Noue, was sent to rebuild the trading post, but found it advisable to make a fresh start. He built a new fort on the north bank opposite the old fort and called it "FORT CAMINISTIGOYAN". This sec• ond trading post was operated until 1758, the end of the French regime in Canada. La Verendrye wintered in the Fort in 1731. His explorations for a western route led him away from the established Kaministiquia River, Dog Lake route, to the unknown Grand PortagePigeon River Canoe Highway. A station and post were established at the mouth of the Pigeon River in the area now a part of the State of Minnesota. It attained considerable importance. In 1798 Roderick McKenzie, of the North West Company, moved northward from Grand Portage and examined and reported the ruins of old FORT KAMINISTIQUIA. Its location is now marked by granite monument at the foot of McTavish Street. The famous FRENCH VOYAGEURS and TRADERS continued to arrive in their large heavily - laden canoes, bringing much needed supplies to the settlements, then returning to Montreal with bountiful cargoes of furs. The North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Gompany inhabited the District amidst great rivalry. In 1802 the Fort was acquired by the North West Company and called the "NEW FORT". In the summer of 1807 at the annual meeting of the Partners and by a resolution of the Wintering Associates, the name of the Fort was changed to "FORT WILLIAM", after William McGillivray, Governor of the North West Company, who was also a member of the Quebec Legislative Council and a prominent Montreal merchant. The struggle for control of the fur trade on the North American continent is the most intriguing and fascinating part of our history. Between 1816 and 1821 the two fur companies carried on war-like activities against each other with the Fort being occupied by each at various times. Finally, the two companies united in 1821. The Hudson's Bay Post at Point de Meuron, a few miles up river, was abandoned soon after 1872. Meantime, three to four miles to the north, a small settlement was growing which in 1857 became known as "THE STATION". This military staging area later was to become the City of Port Arthur. It was from this point in 1870 that the first Red River Expedition ventured to We st e r n Canada. On July 10, 1868, a small party of prospectors, headed by Thomas MacFarlane, Montreal mining engineer, working out of "The Station" discovered the area's silver mines. Silver Islet Mines was one of the discoveries which had a most famous history. By the autumn of 1869, a 25 mile military road was under construction west of the "Station". In the following year Colonel Sir Garnet Wolseley (later Lord Wolseley) leading troops from eastern Canada, disembarked from the scenic anchorage. Enchanted with the natural beauty of "The Station", Wolseley renamed the post "PRINCE ARTHUR'S LANDING" in honour of Prince Arthur, son of Queen Victoria, who was then in Canada. In 1884, the villagers changed the name to "PORT ARTHUR" and had the town incorporated. The year previous William Van Horne, C.P.R. General Manager, changed the name from the Station to Port Arthur. 4 5 �It was about this time, the infant Canadian Government, formed in 1867, started to think of expanding the country westward . A young civil engineer, Simon J. Dawson was appointed to make a survey of a possible wagon and water route to the Red River Colony now Winnipeg, still under the control of the paternalistic rule of the Hudson's Bay Co. After considering alternate routes, Dawson finally recommended a wagon road to Lake Shebandowan, then over the old canoe water route to the west shore of the Lake of the Woods and onward over a wagon road to the Red River Settlement . Today the road is commemorated w ith the name "THE DAWSON TRAIL" starting at the harbour in Port Arthur Ward and traversing Hwy. 17A-11A, then Hwy. 17-11 (TransCanada to Hwy. 11 and Shebandowan Village , on the lake of the same name . Fort William was also growing into a large community and great impetus to growth was supplied when the Canadian Pacific Railway Company was started in 1875, and commenced building a railroad westwardly. Fort Will iam became an incorporated town in 1892 and later in 1907 a city with John McKellar as first Mayor. Unfortunately, the progress of the community made it necessary to dismantle old "FORT WILLIAM" in 1881, to make way for the steam railway. The Ontario Government has announced a $16 million capital project to restore the old fort on the Kaministiquia River. With the advent of a new mode of transportation, a flood of settlers arrived, some to stay and the remainder to continue west to a new lan-d. The first Mayor of Port Arthur in 1884 was Thomas Marks. Port Arthur attained city status in 1906. As the century closed, the present day educational complex was started when schools were built in both cities between 1871 and 1894. Newspapers were first printed in 1877. The two cities were in the vanguard of communities of the era experimenting with electricity. Port Arthur is counted among the first cities in North America to establish an electric street railway system around 1888, operated by a steam dynamo. This railway line was extended into Fort William in 1892. Distribution of electricity is still under municipal control. Municipally-owned telephone systems were inaugurated in 1902 and remain a city-owned utility. Fort William lost its city hall by fire in 1903, but it was rebuilt in 1905 and lasted until replaced by the modern edifice in 1966. Port Arthur's town hall also suffered the ravages of fire. Electric power went hand in hand with the growing industry of the cities. The first steam plant in Fort William was installed in 1898. In 1901 Port Arthur built the first hydro plant on the Current River. Kakabeka Falls (the Niagara of the North) 18 miles up river from the cities was harnessed for power in 1907-08 by the Kam Power Co. This gave a powerful surge to the power hungry industries in the cities and brought new industry. Records indicate 15 industries had established by 1903 and 71 by 1913. These included Port Arthur Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co.; Canadian Car Co. Ltd.; Ogilvie Flour Mill; N. M. Paterson & Son, Grain and Shipping; and numerous grain elevators, lumbering and logging companies. The need for water supplies for industry and citizens led both cities to install underground systems. Port Arthur pumped water from Lake Superior. Later Fort William designed a unique sytem to bring water by gravity from Loch Lomond, 300 feet above the city, south of Mount McKay. These systems are in use today with tremendous supplies available for the future. By 1920 the paper industry was born with the advent of Great Lakes Paper Co. Ltd. and the Fort William Paper Co. ( later the Abitibi Paper Co. Ltd.) Grain elevators and rail trackage continued to grow durin~ this period to the present number of 23 elevators. In 1947 street cars disappeared from the streets to be replaced by rubber-tired trackles trolleys and gas buses. The cities turned to dial telephones in 1949. In 1951 the large Fort William Gardens ooened to provide an answer to the problem of satisfying the many avid hockey and sports fans and players. Natural Gas came to the cities in 1958, and in 1962 the first thermal electric power station in Northwestern Ontario was opened on the Mission River to generate 100,000 kilowatts. The first Kraft Mill in the cities came in 1966 with the addition of a $31,000,000 plant to the facilities of Great Lakes Paper. An advanced design automatic iron pellet handling plant was opened in 1968 on the Mission River to receive units trains containing 15,000 tons of pellets from mines in the area. Lakehead University, opened as a college in the late 40's and soon outgrew temporary facilities in downtown Port Arthur, and a large campus was secured on the western limits of the city. From a small beginning, attractive modern buildings have sprung up which now include a Teachers College, academic facilities, engineering and science laboratories, athletic building and playing fields, dormitories etc. In excess of $25 million has been invested in the present facilities of Lakehead University harbouring almost 4,500 students. The Confederation College of Applied Arts & Technology was the next step in building area educational facilities. Over $7½ million was invested in permanent teaching facilities . In 1967 a start was made on the construction of Lakehead Expressway extending 19 miles from east of the city to circle the populated areas and join Trans-Canada Highway outlets east and west and Hwy. 61 to the south. Approximately $25 million was required to complete the five year construction program. Planning for urban renewal of the core areas of both main business centres commenced in 1966. The Port Arthur Ward plan has been accepted and Stage One of a $15 million redevelopment scheme commenced in the spri n~ of 1971 . 7 6 �LAKEHEAD HARBOUR Best views of Thunder Bay and the harbour are from Hillcrest Park and the first ledge of Mount McKay. Both may be reached by road, except the latter in winter. However, the best impression of the massive size of the giant grain elevators, marching around the shore, must be from the water side of the harbour. Thunder Bay stretches 35 miles from north to south. Through the bay opening can be seen Isle Royale, Mich., a United States Federal Park 38 miles from the harbour shore. rock breakwater, one mile from shore protects the docks stretching acros~ the harbour front. The Thunder Bay Harbour, supervised by a five-man Harbour Commission, covers 27 miles of shore installations. In front of Port Arthur Ward, various industries and elevators are martialed around the shore. In Fort William Ward, the three river openings offer secure dockage for elevators, a modern iron ore storage and shipping plant, bulk oil depots etc. The main channel of the Kaministiquia River extends six miles upstream to a turning basin. Depth of water in the harbour varies from 20 to 27 feet with major installations running to Seaway depth. A shipyard at the northern end of the harbour is equipped to handle the largest seaway ships in dry dock. Grain elevators extending into the deep water, permit ships to glide right to dockside to take on their loads of grain. The ~ecord grain loading in one ship is in excess of 1,000,000 bushels. The heaviest shipping year saw 500,000,000 bushels arriving from the west being cleaned, processed, inspected: certified by government inspectors and shipped overseas. At the top end of the famous Kaministiquia River channel, a paper mill ships rolled newsprint in great quantities from dockside to port destinations in the U.S.A. A 8 Keefer Lakehead Terminal was opened in 1962 and provides a massive general cargo shed and an overseas cargo shed. Ocean freighters and fast lake boats can simultaneously be loaded and unloaded. The terminal is classed as one of the most modern in the world with an investment in facilities exceeding $15,000,000. In 1969 a $3,500,000 expansion of cargo sheds and dockage area was completed. It is also one of the fastest tran_sit terminals, with highly mobile ~quIpment handling material unloading around the clock. Over 700,000 tons of general cargo, steel, vehicles etc. are transferred to and from Canadian and overseas vessels. Excellent waterfront acreage is available for industrial development near the Terminal an~ on the islands formed by the three rivers in Fort William Ward. Lumber mills also cluster near the harbour for direct shipment of products and retention of logs near the water. A yacht club is established on the Mission River and a Marina is being developed on the waterfront in Port Arthur Ward. In all, four pulp and paper mills operate on the shore of Thunder Bay Harbour. In addition, a flour mill, malt plant, wheat starch plant, petroleum products plant, tar-processing plant, chemical plants, etc. all operate near the deep water of the harbour. Iron ore (pellets), potash and coal, loaded in many cases directly into vessels are shipped in large tonnages. A modern mechanized belting system on the Mission River operates all year to stockpile iron ore pellets for transfer in the shipping season. Coal from the Western Provinces is transferred from unit rail trains to ships for transfer to steel mills and hydro plants in the East. 1970 was a record shipping year for the Thunder Bay port. 20,779,767 tons were handled in 1,488 ships. Included was 13,299,851 tons of grain; 5,357,056 iron ore and 587,685 of general cargo. Kakabeka Falls CLIMATE From June 1 to Oct. 31, the climate of Thunder Bay is pleasant and mild; humid days being exceedingly rare.

Most if not all this valuable material will channel through Thunder Bay to various processors. It is conceivable that at some future date, secondary industries will be located near the Lakehead to process the concentrated material into a solid state. Iron ore shipments have recently diminished with the installation of concentrating plants which upgrade the raw ore to pellets of high grade iron. Steep Rock Iron Mines and Caland Iron Ores, Atikokan, have installed palletizing plants and currently are making substantial shipments. The Griffith Mine at Bruce Lake. 350 miles west of the Lakehead, ships iron pellets through Thunder Bay Harbour to Steel Company of Canada Ltd., Hamilton, Ontario. Over 5,000,000 tons of pellets was shipped from these mines in 1970. International Nickel currently is constructing a large concentrator at its mine located at Lake Shebandowan, 50 miles west of Thunder Bay, to produce concentrated powder for shipment to the Sudbury smelter. Great Lakes Nickel Co. and other companies nearby, are exploring and developing a mountain mass of nickel- copper, 40 miles south of Thunder Bay near the U.S. border. Over 140,000,000 tons of low grade ore have been reportedly outlined. An ore to smelter complex worth $100 million dollars is currently being considered. Silver has been known to inhabit the Precambrian Shield around Thunder Bay for 100 years, since Silver Islet Mine was discovered and worked. Today, with the price of silver at its highest, a number of silver mines are being re-examined. Further north, as many as 150-200 miles from Thunder Bay, huge deposits of rich iron ore have been uncovered and moth-balled for the time being while operating pits closer to market are being developed. In the Sturgeon Lake area, Mattabi Mines is building a $36 million mining complex and nearby Falconbridge Mines is exploring additional interestin~ base metal ground. South Bay Mines is investing $6 million in a base metal mining complex at Confederation Lake. Mayburn Mines near Kenora has started production. The future is bri~ht for expansion of activities in the field of mining in Thunder Bay area.

The first museum was started in 1942 in the Brodie St. library with Carson Piper as President. Official opening was performed BY Mrs. Peter McKellar. Late in 1971, the Historical Society became aware of the availability of the Land Titles building, and through Mr. Jim. Jessiman, reached an agreement with the Ontario Government to sublease the building from the city. At the first of the year a Federal Government Local Incentive Program was applied for, and received for the purpose of cataloguing, moving of artifacts to the new museum, setting up displays and a filing system. In late January a dozen people were working on the cataloguing. Shortly after this, a winter works program, sponsored by the Ontario Government through the city, provided the labour necessary to do the alterations to the interior of the ouilding. Modern showcases and platform displays were installed, and storage cupboards built in the basement. A bequest was received y t Society from the state of the late Dr. Crawford C. McCullough for the establishment of an art gallery. For many years this was not possible because a building was not available. The new museum building has a large basement room that is very suited to be an art gallery. We are opening it with a collection of water colours and lithographs of historic interest locally. The painting "Maternity" was painted by the late Mary Ritter Hamilton, a distinguished artist. The painting was donated to the City of Port Arthur by her estate because she felt it best expressed the happiest time of her life, when as a young woman, she lived in Port Arthur with her husband, and had her baby there. At the age of 24, she lost her husband and baby. They are buried in Port Arthur. ~ ~. Hamil ton went to France to study Art and became an artist of renown. Her painting "Maternity" now hangs in our McCullough Gallery. *************** � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I tr ·st each member and recipient will continue to benefit from the useful information contained therein The theme of the last issue of the "Log LBook" was "Fire Prevention." From the experiences of the past few weeks the theme was obviously well chosen. The fire hazard throughout the province has created an explosive situation with a number of serious outbursts close to home. In other parts of the province the fire losses in green timber have been nothing short of catastrophic. Only through the hard work and efforts of the var'1ous Forestry DepartmJ:?nts in cooperation with the timber companies has the situation been brought under control •• It becomes obvions, however, that the situation may again break out more seriously this year. It behooves every single agency and citezen to become more conscious than ever of the terrible danaer which confronts the No. l industry of the Province~ It occurs to me that the Tmber Operators' Assaciation as an agency can be of greater assistance than in the past in meeting the problems of prevention of serious forest fire outbreaks and their suppression. I am not prepared to say what direction such assistance should take but I would like to suggest here that every member come to the next general meeting with as many constructive ideas as possible as to how we, as an association, can -help to bring about total "Fire Prevention'· / CONGRATULATIONSTo the Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited, on the publication ot the Booklet "Mechanical Logg:ng for Pulpwood" Mr. H. P. Klinestiver, Mr. P. V. Lemay, the editors, the artist, the industrial firms, all who took part in the planning and publishing of this Booklet deserve great credit. This booklet marks c forward step in the woods industry and will be of great interest to other companies in planning a mechanical operation . It wi II also be of great assistance as a hand-book to the individual man. Copies may be ordered from the Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited, Public Utilities Building, Port Arthur at a cost of $2.00 each. STA TISTICS-N IPIGON RIVER DRIVE 1947 Institute, Port Arthur o· and ~ort William, Ontario will commence classes in 'v'f.. the f1 rst-years coures of technical forestry in September 1948 First wood sluiced over Virgin Falls - June 9, May 20, First wood sluiced over Cameron Falls - May 28, May 18, The course as presently outlined, will be of o years' duration and is planned to fit high school graduates and m(2n already employed in the forest industry for sub-professional supervisory positions in that vocvation. N orthwestern 0 ntario district is now, more than ever, the nucleus of the forest industry and all indicat1ons suggest that the area will enjoy top place in the industry for many decades. This great advance has been achieved under the guidance of a few trained and professional men who have toiled diligently with a minimum of assistance from technicians. These men -long ago realized the necessity for technical aid if the pulpwood and saw logs were to be won economicallq from our forests. They urged the establishment of a training school from which they could obtain rangers, cruisers, junior forest engineers and similar subprofessional assistants. The faculties of forestry in our universities could not meet the demand for trained personnel. The graduates from these institutions could not adequately fill the myriad of jobs with the result that unskilled employees had to be trained as well as possible under difficult conditions. A brief concerning the type of training desired for forestry technicians was presented to the departments of education and lands and forests with the result that the present coure is being offered. The brief was based on the urgent need for trained personnel to fill the gap between the professional man and the rank and file of labour. It also stated the type of men required to fill the gap and what these men must have and be able to do. The various suggestions were made bearing in mind that the students would be principaliy men from Northwestern Ontario and would, upon graduation, put their training to use in the Lake Superior region. The Department of Education, who are sponsoring the Lakehead Technical Institute, requested that a selected committee form industry in our area, be appointed to make certain that the type of training i5 adequate and desirable. This committee wi II have an active part in recommending the curriculum and choosing instructors. It has been decided that the prime object of the course is to train men in the practical phase of fores!" work and forest management, so that they wll be capable of doing supervisory work in the woods and keepi ng our forest lands productive. The student wi 11 be thoroughly educated in the theory of forestry and the practical appiication of this theory. It is the intention and onus of the Institute to provide the operating companiest with desirable employees and to provide the ambitious forest workmen ar,d desirable students with a source of training which will allow them to advance to positions of responsibility in forestry. Applications to attend this course should be submitted to the principal, Lakehead Technica Institute, Port Arthur, Ontario.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
