THANK YOU ALL! 1951 Canada Savings Loan Drive Mr. Ralp~ Bi rd stated that the high Iight of the Canada Savings Loan Drive was the sales in bushcamps which increased by l 00 percent over previous campaigns. The LongLac Pulp & Paper Company Limited conducted a canvass in 1950 to determine whether bonds could be sold successfully to labour which in many cases was fluid and transient. 178 lumberjacks purchased $62,500.00 worth of bonds - 69 lo of which made all the payments. In the recent 1951 drive an all-out was conducted by the LongLac Pulp & Paper Company Limited and the Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited. $160,000.00 sales were recorded. "Taking into account the good that can be accomplished by stabilizing this labour and bettering its position, I feel a real effort should be made by all our operators to further this campaign in the woods," Mr. Bird concluded. Let's all work on this next drive! A savings program for woodsworkers such as this is as much a good thing for him as it is for any other citizen. QUESTIONS l.

Campbell Now that 195 l has come to a close, perhaps we should look back on the activity of our. section of the Canadian Institute of Forestry. I think it is fair to say that, in view of the fact that we are an association of professional men, our progress was not in · any way commensurate with our obligations to Forestry. However, in many ways, we had a good year. By our constitution, the Canadian Institute of Forestry is an association whose purpose is to further good forestry practices. If we view the technological advance of our profession, locally or Dominion wide, we can be proud of our achievements. In Northwestern Ontario the Forest Industries, through building logging roads, have opened up great stretches of otherwise waste areas. They have given, and are giving, employment tc. a great many people. The Forest Industry of this area is a major contributor not only to our local economy but to the economy of Canada. We can cite great forward strides in several other branches of Forestry such as Fire Protection, Forest Management, Forest Biology, Entomology, Pathology, etc. Even though some of these branches are very young in development, there is obvious evidence of progress which promises advantageous appfication in the very near future. These are technological advances. Is this Forestry in its entirety? 1 Our chosen way of life is a democratic one. We are privileged to elect our governments and by so doing we determine policy affecting our welfare. If we will not accept this responsibility, democracy will vanish. Today we are living in a highly specialized world where many fields of endeavour have become very cof'nplex and require those with highly specialized training to accept definite responsibilities. Foresters must be prepared to mould forest policies into this complex national community of democracy in such a way that they wi II function in harmony. Without guidance, no politician, or group of politicians, can claim to do this work properly. However, if the guidance is not forthcoming, they have no alternative but to do their best. Our profession is not accepting its responsibilities. We sacrifice too severely the progressive development of forestry for the consummation of forest technology. Twenty years from now we will have new and dif~ ferent Forest policies regulating the treatment of our Forest Industries. Are we interested in what these policies might be? If we are, then we must make our association strong so that it will be heard so that foresters will determine these policies. During the past three years, we have sent only one recommendation to the Minister of Lands and Forests. Within the past year I have had several discussions with younger members of our section concerning the status of our association. Are we a professional association? Very definitely; the requirements of admission to full membership is evidence of that. As yet we have no provincial charter, but the wheels are in motion. Within our section, our problem is not to bui Id up membership but to build active membership. Based on past observations this, I believe, can be accomplished in three ways, ( l) by taking every opportunity to acquire good speakers on forestry topics, (2) by having more out-of-town meetings such as that held at Longlac, (3) by raising the plane of our annual meetings. In order to give you meetings of this nature, your executive re.:. qu ; res the full cooperation of every member a forest enterprise. It would be much apprecia members would a's sist in securing speakers, and companies would volunteer to be hosts to out meetings as LongLac Pulp and Paper Compan We must have bigger and better annual Not that we should necessarily pattern oursel the local Medical Association or the Engineeri ciation, but I do believe that some of the colou annual meetings should be brought into ou meetings should be supported to the extent could invite and entertain representatives of 0 essional associations. In this way we would ma our existence. In 195 l we had seven meetings which well attended. We were most fortunate in ha top-rate speakers as Mr. Gi Imore and Mr. addition, thanks to Ollie Kantola, we were with a showing of films on forestry practices (spiced up somewhat with a few pictures of nasties of the famous Finnish steam bath).

Forest fires are still the greatest hazard in the woods and loss from fires not only destruction of mature timber but loss of young growth is something which, while it may never be stopped altogether (we cannot control lightning) can certainly be cut down. This Association in co-operation with the Department of Lands and Forests officials has taken the lead in ,preaching fire prevention to the employees of the industry and in urging all operators to have camp crews organized and trained to fight fires . In 1951, out of 342 fires, 18 fires were as a result of woods operations. This would indicate that the prevention work carried on by operators is not in vain. In addition, the fires that did occur were held to a very small acreage and this speaks highly of the organizing and training of the Department of Lands and Forests and the operators in getting the fires out while they were small. Insects are another hazard that must be coped with and, in this respect, operators and their employees co-operated by sending samples of insects found to the Insect Laboratory at Sault Ste. Marie . This Association and companies support the Lakehead Technical Institute and we are happy to co-operate with the forestry instructors in arranging visits to operations by students, supplying guest lecturers, and, in addition, we have, for each of the past three years, given a $200.00 bursary to a selected student. I would, at this time, like to pay tribute to our woodsworkers as individual citizens. Each year they are more and more taking their place in the social as well as economic life of Northwestern Ontario. Their support to the Community Chest and other drives, their purchase of Canadian Government bonds and their help at Christmas time to needy families as reported in the press, are all indicative of the type of men working in the woods. Ministers of the Gospel, the Shantymen's Associati Jn vic;it tbe camps and are well received. In some of the depot areas, community clubs have been organized and sports and other recreations are 'taking their place in the development of the life in lhe woods. I am also happy to note that Ludovic Cyr, who won the Canadian Buck-Sawing Championship at Montreal last year is still working for the Ontario Paper Company at Heron Bay. I hope Ludovic or someone else from Northwestern Ontario will win again. While referring to our employees, I would just like to mention in passing that great emphasis is being placed o_n safety in the woods. The number of accidents in the woods must be cut down and with the co-operation of the employees, management and the safety associations, I feel certain that accidents should and will be prevented. And what of l 952 and the future? Despite all the progress and development that has been made we, being human, are still not perfect - we make mistakes --we have plenty of room for continued improvement. There are so many variables besides the weather - the Korean war, the European situation, all have a bearing on our future. The demand for pulpwood seems to have tapered off a bit and the future is not too clear. Stockpiles at the mills are reaching normal levels and we all know that any decrease in demand for end products means an immediate curtailment of forest products required. This is unfortunate but understandable and we all hope that the demand continues. If the demand continues our industry will no doubt need all the men it can get in the woods next Spring and Summer and if war industries grow then we may face a short.1ge of labour throughout the year. This picture should clarify this Spring and we will have to make plans then to meet the problems. In closing, I would like to again this year state my feelings towards our industry. I stated in my Annual Report last year that a new era in woods operations had been born and that we are now growing up in that new era. We have progressed during the year management plans and operating plans are being made on a long term basis.: gradually more species are being utilized. (This is one subject - utilization of species - about which we all hope the Research Institute will soon develop methods of using all species grown in Northwestern Ontario); our employees are receiving good wages negotiated annually with the woods union. our depots are becoming more permanent, our camps have more and more facilities for better living, our road systems, dams, and other improvements are being extended annually. Our industry is the backbone of this part of Ontario and I am proud to be a part of it and to be President of this Association . Because we operate mostly on Crown Lands, we operators and our industry seem to be fair game for public criticism. Thie; is all very natural and not objected to but, I do believe that, if our critics would take into consideration the advances in the past ten years, visit and study the' operations as (Continued on Page 14) �LOG BOOK PAGE 6 Radio-telephones are a part of the woods communication system of many companies and this article s be of interest to many Log Book readers.

In the latter wood chips and acid or alkali solutions are mixed together, heate~ by m~an_s of s~e~m and cooked until the binding material_ or l1gnin as 1t 1s known is sufficiently dissolved to permit the cellulose fibres in the chips to become separated. The cooking process, however, does not completely ~emov~ all the impurities from the pulp fibres, a_s ca~rying this step too far might seriously damage the fibre itself. In the case of newsgrade pulps these impurities are of little consequence. After the removal of dirt knots and unco?ked fibre bundles by screening, the pulp may be us~d d1 rectly for the manufacture of newsprint. Where a hrgh grade pulp of good white colour is desired for book paper, specialty pulp or for dissolving pulps, further treatment by bleaching is required. During the past twenty-five years, remarkable prowess has been_ made in the chemical pulp bleaching industry. We find new and improved bleaching equipment appearing in the market, more effective pulp bleaching agents and continual development of the techniques of multi-stage bleaching. Bleaching systems vary from mill to mill. They may ~e of the older type batch systems or completely continuous, the modern trend, or possibly a combination of both. 0any of _the older mills still use a two stage sys tern using c_alcrum hypochlorite as the bleaching agent. The latter 1s usually prepared from quick lime and chlorine gas. The quick lime is slaked with water and chlorine gas is bubbled through it until it is of correct strength. The sludge is allowed to settle and the clear liquor is drawn off for bleaching. The sequence is. a continuous high density stage of bleach~ng, a fresh w_ate~ wash, followed by a batch bleaching at low density in horizontal tile line tank of specia_l shape _known as bellmers. The raw pulp after selective_ wa~h1!1g and screening is held in storage tanks from which 1t 1s pumped as a fibre suspension in water to a regulator. Here its consistency is control led to a desired point by increasing or reducing the amount of water added. The regulated stock as it is called is usually l-2 percent pulp. As part of the first stage the regulated pulp stock is passed over a thickner to with~ draw s~fficient wat~r to ~ring the pulp up to 15-20 pe~ cent air d~y. A ~yp1cal th1c~ener consists of a cylinder, covered with a fine mesh wire and rotates in a vat containing the pulp. As the cylinder rotates water from the pulp drain~ through the wire while the pulp clings to it thus forming a mat. Press rolls aid in squeezing more water cut of the pulp and the latter is fed into the shred,d er as a continuous mat. A predetermined amount of ~leaching liquor_ and live steam is added to the pulp as 1t enters the mixer and high density tower. This is a· tile lined ~ylindrical tank, fitted with an adjustable gata and 2n agitator at the bottom . By keeping the level of the pulp in the tower high and correctly regulating the amount of bleachi~g liquor and steam, 90 per cent or more of the bleaching can be done in this stage alone. The coloured impurities and the other foreign material are acted upon by the liquor and are converted to colourless materials. These can be later washed out. This leaves the pure white fibre or cellulose. On passing from the tower the pulp is diluted with water and pumped to a washer equipped with sprays. Similar to a thickener except there are no press rolls, t removes the greatest portion of the impurities out of the pulp. In addition it thickens up somewhat in preparation for the second or I stage performed in the bellmers. These are ti le Iined tanks bui It so that the pulp stock c in constant movement by means of a screw ty Bleaching liquor and steam again are a pulp to br:ing it to the final desired degree ness.

These warnings can be rapidly flashed over the forest to tal I steel tower~ located at International Falls, Minn., and Fort Frances and Kenora, Ontario. They can then be relayed to a filter center at Minneapolis. As each report of approachin planes reaches the center, the formation is tracked. If such warnings should involve identification of enemy craft, fast jet planes would immediately be dispatched to intercept them. Meanwhile, other cities of the Midwest would be alerted. Col. E. B. Miller, Minnesota Civil Defense directer, said that such a warning may reduce casualties by 50 per cent in the event of an attack from the north on cities of the Midwest and the East. Last month during a state-wide aircraft warninr exercise, three Mando spotters reported a flight of three Navy Corsair planes. The reports came in from Camp 29 and Camp 3. The woodsmen's reports enabled the Minneapolis filter center to "easily track the visiting planes with considerable accuracy," a civil defense leader said afterwards. R. N.

Meanwhile, a train was halted at Vermilion Bay, a few miles from Trail Lake. The injured man was loaded into a truck and driven to the waiting train where he was loaded aboard. Within a few hours he was in a Kenora hospital. All this in a matter of hours, rather than, as in the past, a matter of days. Radio frequency joins with the magic of modern aviation in bringing rapid assistance to the men of Manda lumber camps. Helen's log reports that during' a spring breakup, when roads were impassable, a worker at a camp on John Lake in the Lake of the Woods area suffered a desperate appendix attack. The man faced death if Manda's FM radio hadn't come to the rescue. The Ke,11ora radio station was called and arrangements were rapidly completed for the flight of a float-equipped airplane bearing a doctor for the dying man . Soon the doctor was at the camp and preparing him for the trip back to Kenora. Alerted by the Kenora operator, the hospital was ready for the woodsman . The man lived, thanks to FM radio. As rugged as some of these lumberjacks are, they don't cotton to modern gadgets such as airplanes. One logger refused to fly back to Kenora after his hand had been crushed by a falling tree. The station operator at Kenora had dispatched the plane after learning of the injury. However, the plane waited over night and by next morning the pain from the injured hand had overcome all fear of flying . The woodsman was soon in a Kenora hospital, receiving skilled medical care. Some time ago the Kenora radio aided in the capture of would-be auto thieves. Here's how it happened: During the day, a car had been stolen at Fort Frances, Ontario, on the Minnesota and Ontario border and mi 11 officials at the city offered Mando radio faci I-• ities to police authorities. Using FM radio Kenora war informed that the stolen car was headed in their direction. Soon Mando logging camps all along the route were alerted and began reporting passaqe of the stolen vehicle. Provincial police set up road blocks that led to the capture of the two teen-age thieves. The Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company does much of its tree harvesting in remote, nearly roadies~ forests of Ontario and northern Minnesota.

The foregoing figures give a pretty good picture of what has happened and indicate to some extent why it has happened, and we believe we can eliminate , good many of our accidents next year. 1 Now, gentlemen, I am going to outline some of the things we are doing at the present time to eliminate accidents: We have a safety supervisor who co-ordinates all the different phases of our safety program, and who collects new ideas which wi II make our employees more safety conscious. One of his duties is to lecture periodically to employees at each of our camps, pointing · out ways and means of preventing accidents. At the same time he tries to instill in the minds of our employees that the victim of the accident suffers the most. Insofar as the labour situation permits, we screen employees before hi ring. We have always found that the good wage-earner is usually a man who is not a victim of accidents. For this reason, a man with a good previous earning record has preference over others when To this point in my talk, I have de men and supervisors, and have said nothi tools with which the men work.

PORT ARTHUR, ONTARIO �----=--- t'AGE 18 - - LOG BOOK UNUSUAL USAGES OF PAPER II JOE BEAVER" A newly discovered way of making laminated paper has gjven the aircraft industry a new base material, lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel, from which wing tips, floors, seats and even entire fuselages are now being made. Research is proceeding into shaped forms to widen the scope even further. During the war among the many improvisations made was a method of shipping vehicle~ protected only by paper. An ambulance was, for example, completely and adequately wrapped in a mere 52 lbs. of paper. Paper cartons were used also to protect and preserve blood plasma and delicate instruments and gun parts. On occasions supplies had to be floated ashore and to protect them against the heavy battering of the sea and its corrosive action, special waterproof packing cases were developed that gave perfect protection, even if lying soaked for days in salt sea water. Other ingenious uses of paper kept food and other vital stores proof against heat, cold, moisture, gasses and germs. A shortage of metal in Germany was overcome by producing a papier mache snow fence, from paper oneeighth of an inch thick and impregnated with creosote. Light, cheap and easily installed, it was reported as extremely strong and durable. The newly invented paper, Phenolic Resin board, opens up possibilities as a material for moulding products and in the U.S. Army training bayonets and machets are being made from this new material. Fluorescent properties were incorporated into the actual structure of the paper used for maps. Printed in the normal way with ordinary inks the maps were far more serviceable than t!J_ose printed with fluorescent inks, which were difficult to handle and rubbed off easily. For the electrical industry a paper is now being produced for insulating purposes, only 0.0002 inch thick, thinner than a human hair. A new recording machine incorporates a special paper recording tape which can be permanently retained or cleaned off and used again. Among the older uses of paper was the American experiment with Paper Board carriage wheels for trains. These put up an impressive performance travelling over 300,000 miles - also the Norwegian Church built of papier mache in 1793, which served its congregation well for many years through all types of climatical conditions. -Dixon's Paper Circular.

Blais, Forest Insect Laboratory, In 195 l logs were sprayed with DDT in experiments on the prevention of borer damage in skidways on the limits of the Ontario-Minnesota Pulp and Paper Company in Northwestern Ontario. Six skidways of mixed jack pine and spruce logs were used in the study. Two were held as checks; two were sprayed with an oil solution of DDT (5 lbs. of DDT, 1.6 gallons of "Velsicol· AR-50-G," 10.8 gallons of kerosene); ~nd two were sprayed with 50 % wettable DDT (8 lbs. of powder to IO gallons of water). The sprays were applied on June 14 before Monochamus adults had emerged . All exposed log surfaces were thoroughly drenched although the rate of application varied according to the height of the skidways. The oi I spray was applied at the rate of about one gallon for every seven logs in a 2-tier skidway, and at the rate of one gallon for l O logs in a 6-tier skidway. These rates are approximately equivalent to 1.5 - 2 gallons per thousand board feet. The water suspensions were applied at the rate of one gallon for five logs in a 2-tier skidway and one gallon per seven logs in a 4-tier skidway. These rates are equivalent to approxmately l .2 to 3 gallons per thousand board feet. At three intervals during the flight of Monochamus spp. the skidways were examined for the presence of adults. During a fixed observation time, approximately seven times as many adults were observed on the check skidways as on those which had been sprayed. Moreover, adults which alighted on the unsprayed 1099 crawled about normally whereas most of those which alighted on the sprayed logs took flight again almost• immediately. At mid-September, 16 logs from each skidway were examined for borers. One-foot sections were examined· at the middle and at both ends of each log and -all lar .. vae, except those of bark-beftles, occurring on the surface of the wood were recorded. Entrance holes into the 1 wood were recorded and a proportion of the borers re- Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario covered. All larvae collected in the identified by L. M. Gardiner.

In 1946, this standard production model HIP-400 Cummins diesel powering a Russel-Hipwell generating set, was installed underground at Maylac Gold Mines at Geraldton, Ontario. It supplied power for a 25 h.p. pump, some small motors, and mine lighting. For 14 months this Cummins set generated 85 amps continuously 24-hours a day, with only 45 minutes off every Wednesday for a regular preventive maintenance check. In this time, the Cummins ran 8,600 hours without any enforced shutdown. Fuel consumption was 1.87 g.p.h. Maylac Gold Mines closed in 1947 and Engine 31227 was then sold to Theresa Gold Mines at LongLac, Ontario. During the next two years and five months, it clocked 20,669 hours without any major troubles. The oil pan. was never taken off the engine. Wee_kly marntenance was very simple .•. !u?ricating oil and filters were changed ... lnJectors cleaned ... a shutdown of about one_ h?ur a week. Valves were adjusted .ertod1cally. It was still in running condion and capable ot carrying a 25 K.W. load. Engine 31227 therefoM! clocked 29,269 hours after 3 % years of almost continuous running. It was· traded in for a new one and returned to the Owen Sound factory of Russel-Hipwell for a major overhaul. The engine was completely disassembled and all parts checked. New liners, rings, and con rod bearings were fitted; the main bearings were not sufficiently worn to be replaced. ..This engine is really no exception and there are many others like it," stated Eric M. Cordrey, General Service Manager of Russel-HipweII, discussing this engine with George Moore, Diesel Shop Foreman of Russel-Hipwell. .. Dependability is assured in any 'Cummins custom-built Diesel' by a regular preventive maintenance schedule, coupled with no overloading. After every 500 gallons of fuel burned, a preventive lube oil change was made in this case. Normally, we recommend engines be given their major overhaul after consuming 32,000 gallons of fuel. This one, as far as we can check, must have burnt over 60,000 gallons. If this engine had been an automotive one, the truck would have done over one million miles ... as a generator engine it produced over one million horsepower-hours. It's now ready for service again under our rebuilt engine warranty." ,gs gs i I ap 50-550 h.p. 1gu of 1rie ; t th ari "ta Russel-Hipwell ENGINES LIMITED 235 BAY STREET HALIFAX OWEN SOUND PORT ARTHUR, ONTARIO MONTREAL TORONTO ) �MARCH - APR LOG BOOK PAGE 6 History • • • This should be interesting to students of the development and history of Northwestern Ontario. The Editor of the Geraldton Times-Star reports in his Note Book - - - We often think of our district as a new" district but one has occasion from time to time to be reminded that we live in an area rich with past history. Looking over the notes of Ken Switzer's talk which he gave at the inauguration of Hydro at Long Lac last Monday we learn that Longlac was established as a trading centre "while Napoleon and his armies were marching across the countries of Europe." "The Henley report refers to two fur trading posts operating in Longlac in 1813 . . . 139 years ago. One belonging to the North West Trading Company ... and the other to the Hudson's Bay Company. In 1821 these two companies signed a peace pact. The N.W. company being absorbed into the Hudson's Bay company which has operated continuously at Long lac since then." "The first Hudson's Bay post was located on the point now operated by Mac Gauthier, Tourist Operator, and now known as Gauthier's Point." When we drive down to the Lakehead in four hours in these days of the modern motor car . . . we have a hard time imagining the trip described by Ken of York boats going up the Making Ground River (Suicide) ta the Summit Portage ... across to Seagram Lake, thence to McKay Lake and down the Pie River to Lake Superior ... the return trip took three weeks.

Logs are hauled up to the slasher and cut into convenient lengths. The cut logs are carried by conveyors from the slasher to the barkers where they are barked. The I o gs are inspected for completeness of barking. Logs not completely barked are returned to the barkers. Clean barked logs may be routed to the groundwood mill, chippers, or to the storage pi le. Those that go to the chipper become chips and are classified in chip screens. The acceptable chips are conveyed to the chemical-pulp mill. Oversize chips are crushed and re-screened. Sawdust, bark and other refuse from the above operations is conveyed to the boiler plant for use as fuel. Culled blocks are chipped in the hog and these chips also go to the boiler plant. LOG HAUL-UP: The most economical means of hauling logs frorn the log pond is by means of a parallel log haul-up. The logs are fed to the haul-up by hand, endless chains come up through the water and the wing links on the (Continued on Page 8) NORTHERN ENGINEERING & SUPPLY COMPANY LIMITED CANADA ONTARIO MODEL HS 2000 1948 CANADIAN PATENT APPLIED FOR E-LENGTH SLASHER AND LOADER Nesco Equipment Ensures - Economical, Speedy, Continuous Operation �PAGE 8 LOG BOOK PREPARATION OF PULPWOOD (Continued from Page 7) chain engage the logs. The chains convey the logs up an incline to the slasher. SLASHER: A slasher is a machine built to cut logs to any predetermined length. When the logs reach the summit of the log haulup, they are discharged onto a table. Here the ends are butted against a butt plate, and the logs are again picked up by an endless chain which carries them up the sawing table to the circular saws. These saws may be up to 60 inches in diameter and rotate at 750 rpm. The logs are here cut into tw::- or more pieces of the desired length . CONVEYORS : Conveyors are used wherever it is desired to transport wood from one part of the mi 11 to another. These conveyors may be of the rubber belt type, chain type, or the cable type which has a spur or button attachment to engage· the logs. The belt type is the most common in the wood room itself. Rubber belts usually carry the wood to the barkers from the slasher, and a wide rubber belt operating at about 30 feet per minute is used to convey the wood from the barkers. This allows operators ample time to sort the poorly-barked from the well-barked wood. The chain type conveyor is usually used to carry the wood to the storage pi le and the groundwood mi 11. The cable type conveyor may be used in conjunction with a series of chain type conveyors to carry wood BUTLER from the storage pile to the mill. The chain ty veycrs carry the wood from the blockpile to th conveyor. This is because the chain conveyor made portable and can thus be moved as the log pile are used. The cable conveyor is fixed in p BARKING THE WOOD: In order to make pulp of good quality, it essary to remove the bark from the logs. Bark little; if any, fiber value. It consumes chemi steam in cooking without yielding a return. S bark result in dirty paper. There are several methods for removing b ly the one type of Tumbling-Barrel barker will sidered here. A common size of barking drum is in diameter by 30 feet long . In general, barking drums all work on t princ iple. The logs are conveyed to the upper the drum and slide down an intake chute into t within which they are tumbled against one a the revolving drum. This tumbling rubs off which passes out through narrow slots in the d logs gradually are worked to the discharge e drum by the rotation. The principal advantage of this method is bark is quickly and cheaply removed from the out wasting too much of the wood. There is mount of waste, however, as the ends are mo "broomed".

(2) The principle advantage is in the combined nozzle tips which allows a change in size of tips whenever this is necessary due to fuel types, changes in water pressure and so on without delay or the necessity of sending an extra fire fighter down to the pump unit for the other tip. It prevents the confusion which results in one nozzle man having two ¼" tips and the other from having the two larger tips, which all adds up to a decrease in fire suppression effectiveness. The shorter barrel should prove more economical as the ¥pi,ece cut from the barrel to shorten it, can be used as a· replacement should the first one be damaged. The greater strength of the shorter barrel should add to the life of the nozzle. Both tips and nozzle can be screwed on tighter with the grip afforded by the joined tips and prevents loss of water when nozzle is attached to a faulty coupling. Time now to start and get ready so that in 1952 NO FIRES ARE STARTED BY WOODSWORKERS. A SPECIAL FIRE-ISSUE OF THE BOOK WILL BE PUBLISHED SOON.

P. P. M. SAFETY ASSOCIATION Quality Production With Safety This slogan is being used for a purpose. The purpose is two-fold: (a) To get quality production. (b) To have no accidents. Most accidents in the woods - and there are too many - are caused (they just don't happen - they are caused) by by the production workers, the cutters and haulers. To some it may appear that the cutters and haulers are not skilled trades but, in our opinion, the production of pulpwood calls for ski Iled workers and the trade is a skilled one. Skilled workers produce quality product~ and this is even more true in the woods than in factories etc., because in the woods the quality comes from the individ_ual workman and his tools. Qu~lity production in Northwestern Ontario woods means producing raw forest products - pulpwood, logs for lumber, ties, poles, fuelwood, etc., according to the specifications laid down. The correct species of tree; sound, cut square at the butt to leave a low stump; cut to the required top diameter; branches cut and knots trimmed; bucked into the required lengths; piled as required on skids (non-merchantable wood if possible); the strip-roads cleared as required - all the time ensuring that y oung growth is not unnecessarily damaged or destroyed - all these ensure Quality Prod'uction. The skidders and haulers carry on the Quality Production theme by ensuring that no sticks are left in the bush and that the wood is hauled in the short period (January-early March) avai Iable. All these actions can and should be carried out • with SAFETY. All actions in these skilled trades should be done systematically and thoroughly with safety rules being followed at all times. But, the production produced, while generally of quality standards is NOT being accompanied by Safr actions on the part of the individual worker. How to correct this l . Your safety associations are doing their part. 2. You must assist all supervisory personnel must make Safety a part of their job - not a part that can be segregated and done separately but a part that is integrated in all thoughts and actiones. Supervisory personnel must ensure that safety regulations are fol-· lowed and the only way that this can be done is by. constantly checking and correcting wrong actions that may result in accidents. Let's all help -- make QUALITY PRODUCTION WITH SAFETY A slogan to be proud of.

Deterioration of Balsam Fir Killed by Spruce Budworm The recent spruce budworm outbreak west and southwest of Lake Nipigon has resulted in the destruction of a very large proportion of the merchantable bal sam fir over many hundred square miles in this region. This species, occurring in almost pure stands, was one of the important constituents of these forests. Today, these once valuable stands present an ugly and depressing picture of almost complete destruction. Of far greater significance and importance than the appearance, however, is the loss of the thousands of cords of pulpwood which at one time could have been obtained from these trees. The question of salvaging trees killed in this manner hinges on their rate of deterioration. This paper presents a brief account of the fungal deterioration of trees killed in the Lake Nipigon outbreak. Although for the most part stands in this region are no longer salvable, the information obtained may be useful in connection with spruce budworm outbreaks that will inevitably occur in future years. purposes as unaffected wood.

A detailed examination of close to 300 dead balsam fir trees has revealed that trees dead for less than one year possess a faint yellowish-red stain in the outer wood of the trunk, varying in depth from one-quarter to one inch.

I have visited camps from Vermilion Bay, Red Lake Road, Ontario-Minnesota Camp Robinson, to Stevens Marathon Camps. In all, I have visited sixty-two lumber camps and six mining camps, which means we have spoken to 5,259 men in lumber camps in this period of time, also 690 men in mining camps starting out October 15, 1951 to February 25. 1952. I am happy to say we have been well received by those in authority as well as the men in the bunkhouse. May God's richest blessing be upon you all.

CANADIANS SHOULD BE HAPPY! It seemed that this week there has been an emphasis on reasons why people living in Canada should be among the most happiest on this troubled planet. Firstly we had a long chat with a man who happened into our office and had his descriptions of life as it is to-day in the old world. C. P. P.A. ANNUAL LUNCHEON Of course, he said, everyone feels a certain kinship to the land of his birth. But he was continuous in his praise of how free a person feels when he comes to Canada. He says that it is a shame that people have to sit down at the same table and have discussions with the officials of countries behind the Iron Curtain . . . they are nothing but "blackmailers." At the Annual Luncheon, Jan. 25, Pres. Fowler, in his annual address said, with refer woodlands: "Excluding those forests veiled beh Iron Curtain, Canada has the last remaining la coniferous forest reserves in the world. It is our work more than we have in the past for the mai of a resource which to-day enriches Canada enhance her position in the world tomorrow." Then another chap discussed the process which he and his wife had to go through to be allowed to leave a D.P. camp somewhere in Europe. C. P. P. A. Woodlands Section News Perhaps a little description of a D.P. camp wouldn't hurt at this point.

RUSSEL-HIPWELL LOANS INTERESTING MOVIE The story of the fastest diesel race car yet bui It, has been filmed. The car first raced in the 1950 Indianapolis Speedway "500" classic . . . qualified with a speed of 129.20 mph . . . . but encountered an accessory failure, forcing it out of the race. Later in the same year at Bonneville Salt Flats, six new American and International records for diesel-powered cars were set, with a top speed of 165.23 mph. over the one-mi le course. The 40 l cu. in. diesel engine used in this car was a highly supercharged version of the Cummins Model J BS-600, a lightweight, high-speed truck engine currently appearing on the highways in medium-duty truck and bus applications. In the race car this engine developed 340-plus horsepower at 4,000 rpm. and weighed 2.06 pounds per horsepower, making it one of the lightest and highest speed diesels ever used in public competition. It was made largely of aluminum and magnesium. Experience gained with this race engine has been invaluable to the Cummins Research Laboratory. A f iIm of the Speedway race was produced for the Cummins Engine Co. Inc. and a copy may be loaned to business and technical groups free of charge. It runs for 22 minutes and is 16 m.m. sound and color. Please address your request to the Sales Development Manager Russel-Hipwell Engines Ltd., Owen Sound, Ontario.

The very nature of his work calls for these attributes and it goe~ without saying that Canada could not have developed to its present stature were it not for men possessing these characteristics to a markea dagree; nor wi 11 it ever reach its proper place among the nations of the world without such men. Bushmen, hm>vever, have never been considered among the most thrifty class of people in the world. Here again the very nature of the occupation is probably the chief contributing factor. Out in the woods for lengthy periods, the average bushman works hard for long hours, often under difficult conditions that would be much too strenuous for urban workers. Naturally the attraction of the nearest town or community of his choice grows in his thoughts day by day as his stay in the bu_s_h lengthens. Then comes that glorious moment when he heads for town. A quick stop at the pay office to exchange his time sheets for the company's cheque, which in recent years has reached important figures, then the bank, bar or store to exchange it for cash anu then "watch out." Up unti I the start of the war no one worried too much about the Bushman or how he spent his money. Some of the old time timber operators even adopted the attitude that the sooner the money was spent the sooner the employee would be back to work and if he was broke the easier he would be to handle. There has been, however, an almost complete change in the thinking of both employer ·and employee during recent years. Now the trend is to encourage workers to save their money, to emphasize the fact that their earnings are sufficient to permit them to acquire automobiles, radios and so many of the comforts of life formerly bey~;md their reach. We in the bank were probably the first to notice the change in the attitude of the Bushmen themselves. More and more of the men coming out of the woods open accounts with us and keep them open. They still have a little flingi on reaching town, but a good portion of their pay is left on deposit with us before they start and they returr to the bush with the nestegg untouched. The longest step towards the savings habit is made when the worker returns to the woods leaving a portion of his last deposit in his account. Subsequent additions come easy. To encourage this trend towards savings m have devised systems whereby customers and ive customers may do their banking by mail. Th ation has placed banking facilities at the di thousands of people who never before have bee make use of our banks. We have clients we ha seen, yet they have been carrying active acco us for several years.

Anyone of the parties to it may deposit or draw money in the absence of others - a wife in the absence of her husband; a mother in the absence of a daughter or other member of her family. Money Orders and Bank Drafts - they are more easily negotiable at distant points than personal cheques and provide a simple means of making remittances to foreign countries. Where speed is essential, money may be wired or cabled to all parts of the world through any branch bank. At the larger branches such transfers are still further expedited by private direct wire to the principal commerial centres of Canada and the United States. Should you wish to transfer money to the credit of individuals living in distant centres, your bank will conduct the whole transaction relieving you of all the details. • Travellers cheques and Letters of Credit are sold at all branch banks. These eliminate the need for carrying large amounts of money in cash and they are readily negotiable any where. The safety of securities, valuable heirlooms and important papers can be assured by the use of Branch Bank Safe Deposit Box or their safekeeping facilities. In addition to the foregoing there are countless ways in which your bank can serve you. If you have a problem take it to your branch manager. He has daily contacts with a broad cross-section of the community and his experience, usually gathered in a variety of places, makes his advice and guidance of considerable value in helping you reach a decision. He may not have all the answers but he wi II know where you can ge~ them. The chartered banks of Canada have been designed to serve you.

AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON. Western Forest Region The most important insects in the Western Region from the standpoint of infestation and damage were the spruce budworm, forest tent caterpillar and larch sawfly. Spruce budworm infestations increased markedly in 1951, particularly in the Kenora District. Heav;er populations were noted wherever larval counts were made. Very little increase in the area of heavy host tree mortality was recorded although in the Kenora District light mortality was noted for the first time north of McIntosh on the Canadian National Railway, where heavy infestation has persisted for several years. Mortality plots will be established in this area in 1952. South of Eaqle and Wabigoon lakes there was an increase in spruce budworm populations, particularly on young white spruce s.cattered among the balsam fir undergrowth. A similar situation was noted in the southwest portion of the Fort Frances District in the vicinity of Sphene Lake .

J. {Doc) Fowler, who is well known not only to the woods industry in Northwestern Ontario but to many other industries which from time to time have occasion to use the services of a diver. The_ last big job that Ooc undertook last year was the raisin9 of the steel tug '~Esther S" for the Great Lakes Paper Company under the direction of the Mills Construction Company. This was a 200 ton lift and after two weeks of preparation the tug was brought up without a hitch. In addition, Doc completed a couple of minor jobs at Steep Rock Iron Mines and located an anchor and blade of one of the Paterson Steamship Company's boats in the harbour. And with these jobs last year, Doc decided that after 46 years in underwater work and engineering, etc., that the underwater work part of it be left to someone else and Doc has now officially announced his retirement as a diver. Industry in Northwestern Ontario will miss the services of Doc Fowler but all agree that he has rendered excellent service in this dangerous and hazardous work. Doc will be missed by the industry and it will probably be necessary from time to time to send to Toronto or Montreal for someone to do the necessary diving . Doc has Stationary Engineer's papers and is intending to follow this line of work. For what you have done, Doc, the woods industry thanks you and wishes you good luck for the future.

Give one copy to the workman to present to his doctor and, if in need of it, provide him with ambulance or transportation to doctor, hospital or home. The completion of Form 7 should be the next job and there should be no delay in filling out this form and getting it, with the other copy of Form 94, in the, mail to the Board. It must be remembered that in compensable claims the Board becomes the paymaster, so give the Board a chance to be a good paymaster by early reports. Very few workmen are in a financial position to carry them for long without a pay cheque. Any delay in payment is sure to be a hardship. In completing Form 7 be careful in answering questions. Always remember that the Officer of the Board dealing with the case has not seen the injury nor may he know much about the operation in which the workman was injured . Try to make him see in a word picture what was involved in the operation and how the accident happened. Do not say crushed hand when the accident was a crushed first finger of the right hand. Be sure to give the names and addresses of witnesses and the name and address of the attending doctor . Try to give a conservative estimate of the length of disability. This is a help to the Officer in handling the case. The Board allows a large percentage of claims and makes the first payment of compensation on Form 7 alone. If the claim appears legitimate and it seems safe on the employer's estimate of disability, a week's compensation will be paid at once. This gains time in which to secure the workman's and doctor's reports before a further payment is due. Of course, no further payments are made unti I al I reports are on file . In answering question thirteen, do not throw doubt on a case unless there is evidence to substantiate it. In many of such cases adjudication is held up while necessary or unnecessary investigations are carried out and in some of these cases the employer raises quite an uproar if and when the claim is rejected. Where the disability is not likely to be of a duration of more than four calendar days, it is only necessary to complete the front of Form 7, date and s'ign it on the reverse side. If it is later found that the workman had to lie off for a longer period, another Form 7 giving the additional information requested in questions 15, 16 and 17 should be forwarded to the Board without delay, or you may write advising the Board and a Form 7E will be forwarded for this purpose. An injured workman becomes eligible for compensation if it is necessary for him to be off duty as a result of accident in employment for more than four calendar days (not working days). The injured workman, however is only entitled to 75% of his lost earnings subject, of course, to the maximum and minimum provisions. It is therefore obvious that the Board must know the normal working days in order to arrive at the proper amount due as compensation for the period of disability.

They conserve water supplies, regulate stream flow, reduce floods and erosion. The life-giving role of water is linked to the forest in unmistakeable terms. The B7ble ·urges us to the protection i"n8 wise •• use of our forests, range and woodlands. Yet, today, most of the forest fires in our country are caused by our own carelessness and willfullness.

Long-term forest management plans and the aim of government and industry to achieve a sustained yield basis and to operate in perpetuity have meant that families of woodsworkers must become a part of the north country. In the last few years such names as Camp Robin• son, Vermilion Bay, Atikokan, Ycliff, Savanne, Dog River, Black Sturgeon, Auden, Kowkash, Caramat, Stevens, Hillsport, Ney s, Savant Lake, Umfreville, Clarkdon, Valera, Reba, Linko, Martin, Heron Bay, Hemlo, Regan, Mosher, Mead, Hansen, R i pc o, Calstock, and Palmquist have become common place names to the Post Office, wholesale distributors and other businesses and to woodsworkers. Many of these depots are constructed on a permanent basis and to quote an example, herewith an extract from a recent issue of The Mandonian telling about the increased size of Camp Robinson, headquarters camp of the Patricia area. ''In 1948 the O-M started a small townsite in the Patricia area Headquarters Camp P-200 which was to be known as Camp Robinson . It is interesting to note the growth of the community since that time. At the end of 1948 there were 10 houses and a population of 50 people in the townsite. By the end of 1951 the number of houses had grown to 72 and the population had increased to 225. Of this 225, one hundred and two were children between the ages of one and fifteen. The attendance at the school had qrown so that it became too large to be accommodated at the present school house and another school was opened to junior grades at the first of the year. Reports prepared last Fall indicated that 30 of the householder~ in the townsite owned cars and they were predominently newer models." One of the newest depots to be established in Northwestern Ontario is the Newaygo Timber Company new depot at Mosher, Ontario. Mosher is located at Mileage 217¼, A.C.R. The Newaygo Timber Company owns in fee 328,919 acres in the Districts of Algoma and Cochrane and included in this acreage are the Townships of Martin and Mi 1dred. The decision was made by the Newaygo Timber Company to proceed with the development of and Mildred townships and to conduct operation gn a permanent, perpetual basis. It was deci utilize all species as far as economically possibl so and to practice good ti m b e r management would involve the production of pulpwood, sawl and other products. It is a known fact that the first require proper timber management is the construction weather road system throughout the limits, whic permit the different types of forestry practice iJl respect to the particular unit to accomplish pose. It was decided, therefore, that one of !5?quirements would be the construction of a headquarters or townsite and the constructio manent spurs, sidings, and all-weather road the townships concerned.

All dimension timbe.rs and a good percentage of the assorted lumber for permanent buil-9ings was sawn on the operation with a portable sawmill. This sawmill also produced the timbers for the culverts and bridges on the all-weather road. The total sawmill oroduction was 265,284 f b. m.;man-days involved -563; 154 truck hours; 1,458 tractor hours. Due to the permanent nature of the headquarters, it was decided to put in a waterworks and sewerage system, central heating and steam for the entire residential and industrial sections of the townsite. We would be amiss to neglect mentioning the network of trenching necessary for the heating, water and sewerage system. There were 2,000 feet of trench line 3' in width and from 5' to 1O' deep in places. All trenching was done with dragline with some handwork necessary to tinish it to grade. The construction of a septic tank and disposal field was quite an involved affair. There are 5 manholes 3' in diameter constructed of concrete brick on the main sewer line. All pipe for both water and sew"ere laid by plumbers under contract. A well 8' square and 20' deep was dug by hand, boxed in, and covered with 2" planking, assisted with the dragline. I Jnfortunate·ly, a good supply of water was not reached before freeze-up and, as a result, we have been compelled during this last winter, to haul water to camp .?ite from the river nearby. Present plans are to dig the well with a well driller but, in order to make sure of a sufficient supply of water for the camp site, a heavy trench was dug leading from the creek to the well and filled in with course gravel, so that the water is fairly wel I filtered before it enters the wel I. The·re are 2 central heating plants; one for the residential section and one for the industrial section. The central heating is supplied by 2 fuel oil burning Crane 34-S electric controlled boilers, one having a capacity of 3,180 lbs. and the other 2,890 lbs. All buildings are heated through radiators with #75 Sturtevant unit heaters in the machine shop, carpenter shop, truck and tractor garages. The steam lines are housed in underground trenches boxed in 2' square, with 2" planking, lined with 45 lb. roofing paper and covered with 6" of gravel. There are 600' of such trenching between the boiler house and the various buildings. Our coldest days to date, some being as cold as 50 degrees below zero, have found the radiation more than ample. Our pr:_oblem really is to control excess radiation. " The private residences are heated with individual Crane oil burning hot water furnaces which are thermostatically controlled. Involved in the central heatin·g arrangements were 70 man-days of Newaygo labour and the labour of the contracting construction crew, of which there is no record. A word might be said in respect to the cubicles (Continued on Page l 6 ) �LOG BOOK PAGE 16 PERMANENT DEPOTS PUSHING BACK THE FRONTIER (Continued from Page l SJ or 2-bed bedrooms.

Forestry Report From Lakehead Technical Institute In addition to this actual field training w dustry, lertures were given by: Once again we are pleased to report that the Technical Forestry courses at Lakehead Technical Institute have completed another good year. Since we were able to increase our practical training program we feel that some progress has been made. Through the efforts of our Advisory Committee and with the cooperation of the Department of Lands and Forests the Institute now has an area of 3000 acres in the Townships of Fowler and Jacques on which to conduct field training courses. This will enable us to widen the scope of technical training and to more fully organize our field work. During the 1951-52 session the second-year studenst took the following field training: l. Department of Lands and Forests scaling course (all students were successful.) 2. Three weeks forest classification from aerial photos and ground cruising. 3. One week utilization - cutting, skidding, piling and loading pulpwood. 4.

Cuff To get to where you want to go at a cost - that is the problem. There are no doubt various opinions from all quarters as to how is the best way to get there. It is the intention of the writer in the following article to express hi_s opinion as to a probable solution of BULLDOZED-STRIP ROAD LOGGING. Economical logging of an area means to carry on operations within that area suitable to terrain and cover type - to fall head-over-heels in love with one method is sheer folly. If the block in question is a skid-chance, skid it, if an 8 chance cut it as such, if swamping chance, swamp it, or if some variation of a high-lead system, log it accordingly. The 8 1 Bulldoze-Strip Method of logging is a very economical one and has gained great popularity in the past decade. Most of the readers will be more familiar with the 8 Bulldoze-Strip Method in sandy country however, unusual as it may seem, the writer will tend more to discussing the above method in clay country. Everyone will agree this method is at its peak in sand and the author is not recommending it in clay. However he should like to expound on its possibilities - a person can get his fingers burned pretty badly carrying on this type of operation in clay, especially if you hit a bad summer. It is surprising what a person will do and can do if you are in a hole. This method keeps you guessing and switching tactics all the time. As a general rule, this method works best on level or gently rolling country in comparatively pure conifer stands. Depending on the loading equipment used and the method in which the strips are laid out, quite rough country can often be tackled, for example where a drag1ine is being employed using its reach to best advantage. This method will also work to a certain extent in early winter where freezing snow and dirt will smooth out the rough country considerably. Methods for laying out the strips for bulldozing are quite varied. Again, your layout will depend on your available equipment. Hand loading means bulldozing every strip. Drott-loading means bulldozing every strip with the piles placed at an angle to facilitate loading. Dragline loading means bulldozing every second strip and reaching out. Several methods of cross-hatching (roads at right angles to the strip roads and wood placed accordingly for machine or hand loading) can be worked to advantage. Ideas are a great thing but the trick is to get the chap who can put these ideas into practise and thus to get to where you want to go at a cost. The writer prefers this dragline system. In this system a combination of systems are used. In some cases the operator bulldozes every second strip; in other cases he cuts across a strip, runs jibs, reaches up a side hi 11, skirts a rock or cross-hatches the end of strips. The wood is cut and piled in a manner necessitated by available equipment. If you are fortunate enough to have a three-quarter yard dragl:ne piles can be as large as two cords - a half yard dragline will only handle one cord with ease depending on roughness of the terrain . Piles should be well off the ground - the snow may be quite deep before you get all out. It happens like that sometimes. It is not necessary for strip roads to be cut. This point will keep you guessing as to know when to start cutting strip roads again. You may have quite a bit of wood opened up ahead and you can only 1 1 handle so much before the stumps start to bo back, surprising what a jolt a very small froze can give you. Piles have a tendency to settle bit. There are a variety of tools that can be enable you to get the cha-ins or cables around t Cleaning out the ends of the piles before loa add to your production considerably.

PORT ARTHUR, ONTARIO �LOG BOOK PAGE 6 The Muskeg Express By A. R. Wiley As the name implies, this is a tote railroad of light steel running from our Mead (Newaygo Timber Co. Ltd.) headquarters to our back camps. The farthest camp this year being a distance of seventeen miles. The rail is, for the most part, twenty-lb. steel in twenty foot lengths. (Twenty-lb. steel means the weight is twenty lbs. to a yard.) We have no road bed but lay our ties right on the muskeg sometimes using stringers under the ties where necessary due to uneven nature or wetness of the gro,1t1nd. Our means of transportation on this line are speeders and trailers made in our own shops. The speeders are powered by Chrysler T-120 engines taken out of our snowmobiles which are not used during the summer months. As you can see from the picture, there is a set of double trucks in the front end and single drive wheels on the back end. Our trailers are made up of two sets of double trucks, a wooden bunk fastened to each set on which the trailer box rests, held on by means of a loose pin through the floor of the box and into each bunk. The trailers are covered with a canvas roof and canvas sides that can be rolled up in fair weather. The average load for the trailers is about two tons but if necessary they could take three tons. It isn't the fact that we lack power for a heavier load but it is due to the type of muskeg swamp on which the track is laid . We have a fleet of two large speeders and trailers (the type covered above), three smal I four-h.p. Sylvesters, and one l-cylinder Sheffield speeder. In order to turn the speeders around on the single track th a portable "turn-table." ' Our average speed on the track is about miles per hour. Some, of course, with a little rn than others, take it faster but, after the speeds the track into the muskeg just once, their hand a lot Iighter on the throttle. • Other Companies along the Algoma Cen way who use a similar type. of transportation wood Lands & Forests Ltd., Ripco Timber Northern Paper Mi Ils, and Upper Canada Ti Ltd.

Psalm 51: 1.

He eth in Him is not condemned, but he that at is condemned already, because he hath h in the name of the only begotten Son of 3: 18. Sin began with Satan, when he said, nst the will of God. I will ascend above the the clouds. I will be like the most high." 1 iptures declare that it was by ·one man that into the world, wherefore, as by one man into the world and death by sin and so upon all men, for all have sinned. Truly first in the transgression, but God always and Eve as one flesh. Therefore sin entthrough Adam. Man's sin is in rejecting God's remedy by not accepting the prov1s1ons God has made in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. His blood cleanseth us from all sin. Salvation is deliverance from the penalty of Sin, for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 6:23. Christ on the cross delivered us from the penalty of sin. Salvat1on is deliverance from the power of sin. Because Christ rose from the dead and ever lives to make intercession for us. Wherefore he is able also to save them is the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. A christian is one who believes not only about Christ but in Him and on Him. That includes His teaching concerning- Himself as Saviour, Lord and Friend but also His teaching that all are sinners and must repent and accept Him in order to be redeemed. It also means believing His promises of salvation, leadership, help, blessing, eternal life and His presence within us. Because the Lord Jesus said, "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven; But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven." Matt. 10.32:33. Mr. Ernest Giles of Toronto, second-year student at the Central Baptist Seminary, is assisting Mr. James H. Allen in his Shantymen Missionary work this summer.

Another thing, of course, that is very important is "First-Aid Kits." If the first-aid kit is kept right up to standard and the trained first-aid man has the necessary things to work with when these injuries do occur, this, of course, adds to our impression upon the workman. Some people might say, the workman never notices whether we have proper first-aid facilities or not. Gntlemen: I do believe these people are wrong. The workman notices far more than we give him credit for, and these impressions that we leave with him are very important,not only from the standpoint of impression, but also he (the workman) feels that in case he does become a victim of injury he will get the proper firstaid treatment right on the job. This, to me, is one factor which pertains to the curtailment of accident costs. Now let us deal for a few moments with accident prevention. Of course we all know that in order to practise accident prevention the first people that we have to interest are the Big Boys, or as the workmen call them, "The Brass". Without his interest we can not get to first base. Then, of course, he in turn must interest the superintendent, district foremen, strip bosses, and so on down the line. If in our woods and mills we could get the constant interest of all people in authority, and they in turn would teach safety practices to the people under them and see that their teachings were carried out, I know we could 9reatly reduce our ever mounting accident costs. I know that our very high labour turnover, and also the employing of inexperienced and foreign labor has in the immediate past, had a great bearing on our now high costs, but I do feel that we can alter this situation greatly by our constant teachings of safety to these people. Language is one thing that has been a bad feature. For instance, a group of people who have been employed by the Company are, let us say, German, and • the foreman or strip boss, who is to instruct these people, is Finnish. One does not understand the other, so we just have to go along and hope for the best. Even under these difficulties we can still improve the status of triese people by constant correction, in showing the right and wrong ways of working, and watching to see that these teachings are carried out. If not, some more drastic steps can be taken, such as sending of the repeating offenders down the tote road. In closing may I again add that these experiences referred to are some which exist in Class l. I do not know whether the folks in Class 2 have these difficulties, however, I felt some good might be gained from mentioning them. Our old slogan answers most al I of our problems, and one to which all of us should give a lot of thought: "Accidents dnn't happen. they are caused. Prevent accidents by correcting the cause."

W orkDleo's Compensation in Ontario Specially written for Thunder Bay Timber Operators' Association by G. J. Beach, Chief Assessment Offi The Workmen's Compensation Board (Ontario) The Workmen's Compensation Act of Ontario on January 1st, 1952, reached its 37th birthday. Sponsored and passed by the government of Sir James Whitney, it became effective on January 1st, 1915. From a very modest beginning in the first year of its operations when less than $1,000,000.00 were awarded for only 17,000 accidents, the benefits have expanded until in 1951 the awards totalled $24,999,520.75 in compensa-· tion and medical aid for the 202,645 accidents reported. The purpose of this article is to acquaint the employers in the Lumbering industry and Allied Operations with their responsibility with respect to the Act inasmuch as it refers to the filing of pay roll statements, and rates of assessment. Employers in Ontario are classified and assessed according to the risk involved in their respective industries. There are 25 classes in all. The industry of Lumbering and Allied Operations are included in Class 1. The assessment collected from the employers in these industries is a source of revenue for the payment of claims arising out of such industries. At the present time, there are approximately 48,000 employers registered with the Board, and of this number 2,300 are included in Class 1. Since the inception of the Act, employers engaged in the fol lowing operations were not required to file a pay roll statement with the Board if less than six workmen were employed. Lumbering Booming Saw-logging Cordwood Cutting Bark-peeling Rafting River-driving But from January 1st, 1953, due to a rev1s1on in the Act, employers engaged in these industries will be required to file a pay rol I statement with the Board as soon as one workman is employed whether temporary or permanently. It is important that the pay roll should be filed prior to the commencement of operations for ~ntil ~uch time that the pay roil is filed, the employer 1s subiect to the total cost of the claim arising out of and during the course of employment of each of his workmen. Once the employer is registered with the Board and as long as he continues to employ workmen it is necessary to file an annual pay rol I statement show~ ing the actual amount of wages paid out in the p year and an estimate of the probable pay roll current year. This pay rol I is to be filed by Janua If it is not received in the Board's Office by th the employer is subject to a penalty of 5% of th ment. If the default continues after February that year, an additional 1 % of the assessment 1 for each month or portion thereof. It is for thi it is important that the annual pay roll be January 20th. The annual assessment for each employer puted from his estimated pay roll and from isional rate for that year, which is establish Board and based on the previous accident of the industry. This assessment is payable in instalments; the first due one month from th the assessment, and the second (without furt within two to six months from' the date of is assessment is under $50.00 it is to be paid month after issue. The minimum assessment Act is $5.00. The prime purpose of the Act is to pro workmen, but the employer may also take a coverage if he so desires, by stating defini yearly pay rol I statement filed with the Boar, to be covered at a stated salary, which must than $1,200.00 nor more than $4,000.00 He thereby puts himself in the same "workman" in respect to receiving com accidents. Coverage for a specified peri year may be obtained. This is based on a the previously stated limits, and assessme only for the period covered.

However, PAGE 15 there are many pros and cons as to the effects of the bulldozed-strip methods. Some parties believe that this system cuts too deep~y into the top soil rendering it useless. This party believes that the questionable detrimental effect is somewhat exaggerated as he has seen many very encouraging examples to bolster his belief. If you . are not prepared to give this method your fullest attention (in clay that is) my advice to the reader is to leave well enough alone. However, if you are in a hole just get the proper man to work your ideas and with a little luck you can get to where you want to go at a cost. NOTE: It is so much simpler to wake up in the morning in winter and plough a little snow to get going again. Stopping and starting can run a fellow into quite a bit of money. NOTHING LIKE BEING AHEAD EH, BOYS? THE UNKNOWN QUANTITY Perhaps one of the best arguments against attempts to equalize the fruits of human labor under a collectivist society is the infinite variety of human nature. It should be obvious that each person's desires and aspirations defy measurement - in both quality and quantity by any other person. And since it is impossible to equate what cannot be measured, the collectivist society must fai I in this announced objective. It is perfectly possible, of course, to divide a pound of steak equally between two persons. That is a task requiring only a pound of steak, a set of scales, and a knife - and someone to do the dividing. It is also possible to decree that the two individuals shall have a certain number of leisure hours each day. But it is quite another matter to measure the relative value that two persons will place upon steak and upon leisure, for one is certain to be more fond of steak - or leisure - than the other. What satisfies the soul of one person may have little or no appeal to another - certainly not to the same degree. Now suppose the purveyor of equality realizes that equal portions of steak will not accomplish this equality which he has set out to attain. He might then undertake to divide the steak unequally by weight, and to reapportion the total number of leisure hours, so that both individuals would be satisfied to exactly the same degree. By what means could he determine what quantity of leisure for one is equal to a certain quantity of steak for the other? At this point, he will have to abdicate from his collectivist throne, realizing that he has no scale by which he can measure any value for any other person. • If it is impossible for a third party to solve even this one simple equation for two persons, it is fantastic to believe that he could solve the infinitely more complex problem of equally satisfying all the desires of all the people. This egalitarian objective could be attained only if all people wanted the same quantities of all things in life. But they do not. Our forefathers sought to preserve the freedom of . each individual to pursue to the best of his abi Iity, the satisfaction of his own particular set of desires - known only to himself. They had the wisdom to realize that in designing a society in harmony with this variation in human wants they were working with, rather than against, a principle of nature.

His story reads like that of a fairy tale. The Diesel engine may be said, literally, to have begun with a bang. When Dr. Rudolph Diesel tried in 1897 to start the creation upon which he had worked for five years the result was a terrific explosion that completely wrecked the engine and almost killed Diesel. That mishap, however, did prove that the compression-ignition engine would work. Apparently, it needed only a stronger cylinder to withstand the combustion pressure generated within its cylinder walls. A new engine was finally completed in the same year. It was a single cylinder 25 horsepower unit, was patented and given the name of "Diesel" after its inventor. Dr. Diesel was then only 39 years old. He was born in 1858 of German parents living in Paris. There he went to school unti I the War of 1870 between Germany and France forced his family to move to England. When he was old enough, he attended the Munich Technological College where at twenty-one he graduated as an engineer. It was while attending college he had as his professor in thermodynamics the famous Von Linde, the first man to liquefy air. Listening to Von Linde's description of the low efficiency of the steam engine he determined to develop a better engine. He wanted to obtain more of the useful energy stored up in fuel. First he proved mathematically that such an engine was practical. Then he went and built it. Unlike many inventors, Dr. Diesel gained a fortune from his engine. Everywhere he went he was acclaimed and honored. In the spring of 1913 he visited North America and gave a paper on the Diesel engine. When he returned to Europe he was again busy with the English and German engine manufacturers. In the fall of 1913 only a few months before the start of the Great War he was called to England to attend an important meeting of English manufacturers. On the evening of September 29, 1913, Dr. Diesel boarded the cross-channel steamer "Dresden" at Antwerp, bound for London. It was a clear night and the water was calm. He had many important papers with him. Dr. Diesel himself was in good health and at the height of his success. Diesel engines were being used more and more. They had made the submarine possible. As far as is known he strolled round the deck and then retired to his cabin. When the "Dresden" docked the next morning Dr. Diesel was missing with all his important papers. His bed had not been slept in. No one had seen him during the night. Passengers and crew could give no information. At first his disappearance was called suicide. It is said, however, the next day his family received a telegram saying he was safe in London, signed with his name. A check-up showed the wire had been sent from Geneva, Switzerland. Was it murder? Several weeks later a body was washed up on the coast '4(hich was felt might be Dr. Diesel by the gold rimmed glasses which were found upon it. Many stories have been told but none can be verified.

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 .

The rugged and r makes construction of haul roads both diffi pensive. Road locations were mapped out • 1950. 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. The alcoholic joins what is known as a Group, admits to himself and others that his life has become un able through drink and proceeds to adopt a pr of study and thinking which removes from h what he thought was his need to drink. To be ful in the programme he admits, at least to that he needs a Higher Power to assist him not a religious denomination, the member can· olic, Jewish or Protestant and seek Divine aid own way.

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.

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.

These bonds which have grown in popularity with each succeeding issue were first introduced after the war to replace the Victory Loans with the small investors. They can be turned into cash at any time at 100 cents on tne dollar plus interest and provide an excellent medium of saving money.

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.

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.

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.

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. Surveying the Blockpile A blockpile survey party consists o and one instrument man; surveys are m oeriods, usually on the last day of each vations are taken on the stadia rod carr man whose experience will guide him in spots for readings as will give a represe of the pi le. Normal procedure is to wor. on the outer surface of the pile with fr being taken where it widens near gro quency of observation and accuracy of directly related: a minimum of 200 taken for a blockpi le 90 ft. to l 00 ft. survey method is as follows: (a) Set up the transit over a corne tain and record height of inst (b) Take horizontal angle, to cl of arc. using one of the other sight.

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.

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.

LET'S PROFIT BY EXPERIENCE The fire prevention and suppression activities of woods operators in co-operation with the Department of Lands and Forests has paid handsome dividends by fewer fires being started by woods employees and by a smaller acreage being burnt by those fires in the vicinity of woods operations. Quick suppressive action by organized crews has proven the answer many times Out of 897 forest fires in Ontario last year, 38 were attributed to woods operations and/or employees. Let's look at the fires caused by woods operations and/or employees in 195 l: SURFACE FIRES Surface fires are those which run over t he surface of the ground, feeding in the to::> layer of dry, loose litter, grass, needles, weeds small bushes, and the outer surface of logs: etc. They usually are intensely hot and spread rapidly with a fairly large volume of flam es. Fires in second growth aspen, grass types, old burns, fern types, etc . are typical. WOODSWORKERS SMOKING. SIGNAL FIRE BY LOST EMPLOYEE. SPARK FROM ALLIGATOR OR CIGARETTE FROM ONE OF ALLIGATOR CREW.

BRUSH BURNING AROUND A CAMP SITE. Of these 38 fires last year 18, or one half, were caused by woodsworkers smoking. If we cut out this one cause, we will be doing a lot. You can see from the above that a few of the thousands of woodsworkers in the woods last year were responsible for starting 38 fires. A few careless people were responsible. Don't you be one this year.

With level terrain this is the lee, side or the side in which direction the wind is blowinq.

Key personnel in the woods each year are appointed Honourary Fire Wardens by the Department of Lands and Forests and this honourary position has important responsibilities, particularly in the prevention of fires. Honourary fire wardens are appointed by the Minster of Lands and Forests and through the District Foresters they receive a badge and card of authority and instructions re their duties and responsibilities. While woods industry personnel appointed as Honourary Fire Wardens are primarily responsible in assisting operators and the Department in preventing fires from being started by woods employees, their authority covers all citizens and visitors to operating areas such as fishermen, campers, tourists, etc. These visitors should be checked closely by the Honourary Fire Wardens.

Fires spread more rapidly in some ,s than others. There are often short steep Des and fires will run up these more rapidly n they will run on level terrain.

Woods operators in Northwestern Ontario have on hand well over $650,000.00 of fire fighting equipment to be used exclusively for that purpose. In addition operators have available blankets, tents, cooking uten,;iJ.s... axes, shovels, trucks, bulldozers, boats, radio telephone and other equipment carried on logging operations which rates top priority in time of fire suppression. Camp Operators Make a critical inspection of the fire equipment ,n your camp Any sloppy hose roles? Any defective equipment mixed with working equipment? Any dirty pumps?

The drier the forest fire fuels, the higher h warmer the day, and the lower the relative humidity, the more importa nt it is to qet there quickly since 1t is under fire spreads most rapidly and becomes a large fire in a short time . Larqe fires may require several hundred men and take several days to control and mop u'.) . The suppression of a forest fire can be divided info two separate operations, namely ( 1) the controlling moppinq up and patrol operations which involve the completion of the suppression iob . The reader must remembe r th are only general rules, that every fi ferent and tke primary considerati check the rate of spread as quickly as and then to methodically and syst mop it up and patrol it.

There are three general ways of accom plishi hot spotting, hitting the head · of the fire, or hitting it on the flanks. Each of these three ways will be dicussed briefly . HOT SPOTTING - This is merely concentrating the initial attack upon those sectors of the edge of the fire that are bur and sectors where the fire, if not checked , is likely to get into heavy slash fuels, qrass meadows or other fuels where it will sp be hard to check. On a small fire, one man with a shovel, bough, wet gunny sack or other suitable tool can concentrate on of the fire, knock it ciown and temporarily check it; go on to the next one and do the same, and keep worl<irg around th e fir until reinforcements arrive or until the fire has burned itself out to a point of relative safety . He can then proceed to syst adequate fire control line around it and mop it up . This same procedure can often be employed quite successfully on larger men, each man working alone, or by work ing in small crews. HITTING THE HEAD OF THE FIRE - Where there is a wind blo winq and the fire is spreading rapidly in only one direc way to stop its spread is to hit the head of the fire .

MEETING OF NEWAYGO TIMBER COMPANY SUPERVISORS HELD Woods supervisory personnel including camp foremen and clerks from Newaygo Divisions -the Hearst-Mead-Mosher Division on the A.C.R., the Clarkdon Division on the Sioux Lookout line and the Black Bay Peninsula Division met in Port Arthur in November. In the morning a trip to the Prince and Jarvis Location operations of the Newaygo Timber Company took place. On this trip the planting program of the Newaygo Timber Company was reviewed and a new mobile yarder designed by the Caterpillar Tractor Company, (Powell Equipment Company of Port Arthur) was seen yarding into cold decks tree length peeled poplar. Lunch was served at the Prince and Jarvis headquarters camp and the group returned to the Prince Arthur Hotel for an afternoon of discussion on company affairs. In the evening a social hour and dinner completed the meeti'ng. At the evening festivities many of the wives of Newaygo employees were present and the guest speaker was Mr. Stanton W. Mead, President of Consolidated Water Power & Paper Company, and President of Newaygo Timber Company Limited who, with Mrs. Mead, came to Port Arthur especially to attend the meeting. The me e t i n g was in charge of Vice-President, Henry S. Mosher, and was completed with films on Newaygo's operations. MOBILE X-RAY UNIT CONTINUES SURVEYING WOODS WORKERS In November the mobile x-ray unit of the Fort Wi 11 iam Sanatorium x-rayed 779 woodsworkers in the camps of the Abitibi Power & Paper Company, Great Lakes Paper Company and the Northern Forest Products Limited in the Black Sturgeon area. Good co-operation was reported from all concerned. The best record of the tour was made at Northern Forest Products Camp #36 where there were 79 employees and al I employees were x-rayed. It is important in these surveys that every effort be made to have every person in the camp area x-rayed . Anyone missed may possibly have TB and it is too bad if when these services are donated free of charge, advantage is not taken of them. It is not so much the individual but the possibility that the individual may pass to others this dreaded disease and every effort should be made by all concerned to co-operate on these tours that are arranged through the facilities of the Fort William Sanatorium. In January the mobile x-ray unit proceeded by rail to survey employees of the Abitibi Power & Paper Company at Regan, Ontario; and the employees of the Ontario Paper Company at Heron Bay and Hemlo, Ontario.

Re-Appraisal of the LoD1her Barons Extracts from an article by D. C. Everest, Chairman of the Boar4, Marathon Corp., as reported in the Timber Producers' When one attempts to upset a belief which has been present in the minds of people for several generations, he has a real job cut out for himself. This is the job with which I am confronted 'today. The sub-· ject assigned to me, "A Re-appraisal of the Lumber Barons," carries with it the inference that at one time "lumber barons" did exist, that they were evil people, and that all of our present-day difficulties with our timber supply may be charged directly to them. I think it is about time that some of these stories about the timber operators of the past be carefully analyzed and that their actions be measured by the economic situation which existed in this country at the time they were carrying on their operations. To do this, one must go back to the early l 600's, as it was then that many persons became engaged in lumbering as a means of livelihood. Some may have been engaged in the same business in the countries from which they migrated, so it was only natural they pursued the same line of endeavor in this country. From the beginning of the settlement of the country, the first thing the settlers had to do was to cut the trees necessary to build a home, and the next thing was to clear land rm which to grow their food. These things were essential to their very existence. In clearing the land much of the timber was burned, but there was nothing else they could do with it. These early settlers learned through experience that they could not afford to use timber of inferior quality in building anything which had to do with farm buildings, their churches or the fortifications which they were compelled to bui Id for their protection from the Indians. This idea of the necessity for quality in timber became so· firmly fixed in the minds of succeeding generations that it had much to do with the practice employed in cutting timber in other sections of the country in later years, particularly in the Lake States. Through sheer force of necessity, the country developed along the waterways. The so-cal led roads were mere trails which were followed on foot or horseback. As the population increased, the hardy settlers pushed westward across the New England country and into what is now New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. Better farming lands were found there and, as the desire to becomB independent and self-sustaining land-owners became uppermost in the minds of the pioneers, they continued to seek locations further west. As this movement con- ti·nued, the ~awmiller, with his usual foresight the settlers ;md established small towns, man are our prominent cities today. The growth of Wisconsin as part of th territory, later as the Wisconsin territory an a state in 1 8 3 8, was remarkable, as co many others which stemmed from the early land settlements. This growth of a new territory brought only those interested in agriculture, but al had been engaged in lumbering in that country east of Lake Michigan and in stands of white pine which covered much ern part of the state were naturally the on experienced lumbermen who had long that clear white pine was the only specie cepted by all who had anything to do with erials.

Management and employees don't always agree on who is the good boss. Sometimes management may be right and sometimes employees. But who are in a better position to judge than the men who work eve-ry day directly under a supervisor or a foreman? Just what employees regard 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. Keeps up with each man's work. Judges him honestly and on merit only. Lets each one kriow "where he stands." 7. Appreciates and acknowledges honest effort and above average work. Gives credit where credit is d~e. In case of bad work or rejections, investigates and holds the right person responsible. 8. Main~air:is ?iscipline farrly and consistently. Does not d1sc1pline a worker in front of others. Gives the worker a chance to explain his side of the story. Keeps his temper. 9. Believes in and practises safety. Provides full and proper safety instructions. 10. Makes sure that new or transferred employee:.i know how to do their work correctly. Sees that they have all necessary t o o l.s and materials. Makes new workers feel at home. 11. Is liberal but consistent in his interpretation of the contract plant r u I es 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. Is 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 responsibility and does not pass the buck. 13. Keeps his promises. Does not ·p romise things he cannot deliver, and delivers as pro possible on all promises he does make 14. Is 0pen-minded, welcomes suggestions· willing to discuss them. ' There you have it. The supervisor or fore measures u p to these points o n e hundred likely doesn't exist, but apparently he is what age worker wants and dreams about.

The field trips to company operations are always much enjoyed and very beneficial. This year we are grateful to Abitibi Power and Paper Company, Great Lakes Paper Company and Northern Wood Preservers for in,viting us to observe their operations in the Black Sturgeon area. On this trip the students were able to observe many details of camp layout, camp organization, cut layout for pulpwood, poles and sawlogs, hauling and loading operations, etc. Even though it isn't possible for the students to take in every point involved in these different operations, yet by observing, they are able to grasp many important ideas.

IBSON MOTORS LIMITED Authorized Ford Dealer - Thunder Bay District FORT WILLIAM �PAGE 8 JANUARY - FEBRUAR LOG BOOK An outstanding paper presented at the Joint Meeting of the Canadian Institute of Fore and the American Forestry Association M-0 Forestry Program Outlined The Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company's forestry program, based on the intensive management of of individual a re as, was outlined November 19 by George Amidon, M and O's director of forest management, at the forest management session of the joint convention of the Canadian Institute of Forestry and the Society of American Foresters in Montreal. In a paper presented to the foresters of both nations, Mr. Amidon said that the size of the unit is the key to the problem of growing the most wood and really intensive management requires sustained yield cut-ting pl-a ns for each individual operation. Mr. Amidon feels this type of management can increase present U.S. and Canadian growth rates by 3 times or more and that the sustained growth for large areas of productive forest land, even in the comparatively slow growing timber types in Minnesota and Ontario can reach one-half cord an acre annually, as compar~d with .15 cords on many lands now. Small woodlots are readily adaptable to intensive management for two reasons, according to Mr. Amidor.: 1. Perma"'ency of operation 2. Development of a network of roads "It is tbe thinking of M and O," Mr. Amidon said, "that if small woodlots can be managed for maximum sustained yiPld, the same principles can be applied to larger operations with the same success." Because of this thinking, M and O's forestry operations are being patterned as nearly as possible after the woodlot type of operation, he said. For some time now M and O has been dividing its management district; into smaller sustained yield units. The size of these cutting units deperids upon existing transportation facilities, type, age and condition o-f the timber and available labour supply. As the company has presently worked this out, the cutting units vary from 500 acres for a small settler operation to about 60,000 acres for larger camp operations. At the same time, Mr. Amidon suggests the term "sustained yield" has been misused. He re-defined the term as fol lows: "Maximum sustained yield implies continuous production with the aim .of achieving at the ~arliest practicable time an approximate balance by species and management uni1t, between net growth and harvest, either by annual or somewhat longer periods." He further suggested the factors, balance by cut and growth by tree species or management units, are not taken into consideration under the more common definition of "sustained yield." Consequently, he sa:d, you can still have sustained yield even though_ t~e more valuable wood is being cut much faster than 1t 1s growing and the less valuable wood correspondingly slower. A cutting plan, Mr. Amidon said, that permits overcutting of one species or one area and under-cutting of other species or other_ a~eas is not ~ood management, even though the c_ut 1s in balance with growth for all species over the ent1 re area. Such a plan means trouble in the years ahead for the forest nianager, Mr. Amidon added. The 0bjective of M and O's forestry program is to concentrate the company's management efforts on forest lands close to the firm's mills located at International Falls, Minn. and Fort Frances and Kenora, Ont. Thus, M and O's future needs can be grown on the smallest possible acreage, in the closest proximity to these mills. These mi I I s consist of both groundwood and chemical plants and manufacture a wide variety of products as well as lnsulite, an insulation structural board. These mills used more than 566,000 cords 195 l, cons•sting mainly of spruce, balsa and poplar or aspen. At present growth rates, M and O requ ;innual growth on a gross forest area of 5,0 There are several problems regardin situation in the area where the company o have an important bearing on the type of eloped. First of all, Mr. Amidon said, 75 pe forest land in M and O's immediate Mi ating area is in public ownership (state, c eral) and more than 90 per cent of the the Canadian operating area is owned b "It is evident," he added, " the c endent to a large extent, upon public supply' of wood; there are certain defi upon what M and O can and cannot do ment of a forestry program, and the fir must be closely co-ordinated with the programs.

McKeown Once again the lumbering operations are underway. It has been estimated that some 7,000 men will be working in the woods in Northwestern Ontario this winter. Some for the first time, but the great majority will be men with previous experience. Men, who by their efforts in the past have shown management that they are prepared to do a good days work for a fair days pay. • As an indication of the calibre of men employed this season, their response to the Community Chest appeal and the current Canada Savings Bond drive is most revealing. . In each case the record subscriptions of last year have been substantially bettered, notwithstanding the fact that there are less men employed. These achiev~ments and achievements they are, could stem from several sources; but in the opinion of those best qualified ·to judge it clearly shows that the average woodsw0rker has a greater awareness of the part he must play in the community, of the necessity of helping the less fortunate, and a sincere desire to save. Your contribution to the Community Chest and its implications will be dealt with in another article, from hereon this will be confined to savings. But first of all. what is saving? One dictionary describes the word a3 fcllow3: "Preserving: frugal: parsimonious: rcaserv exception or reservation: money saved: with e in favor of. Redeeming, economical, qualifying pre redemption, economy, sums laid away".' Some people save stamps; others string papers, and on and on, but the object sa~ greatest number of Canadians is money.

Men of the woods, in this day of closer employeeemployer relationship the management of your companies are most anxious to see you embark on a planned savings progr~mme. Their motives are not altogether altruistic, they realize that a "nest egg" will give you a stronger sense of security, a greater stability, and this in turn will result in a better worker and a more efficient operation. Your company is now going thru' a period of the keenest competition in the industry's history. Not only from Canadian competitors but from foreign lands where a lower standard of living makes for cheaper production. The only way th~t this type of opposition can be successfully overcome 1s by greater production through better operational methods. You, the producer, hold the key.

Mr. John Currie, Chairman conducted the meeting assisted by Mr. G. K. Eoll Secretary. Several interesting reports were heard including a report on the research and development committee and the foot accident survey by Mr. D. B. Chant. Reports were heard on Drybak clothing and the Turtle Club. Member company accident statistics were reviewed. • The meeting received an invitation to hold a joint meeting with the Lumbermen's Sa f et y Association (Northwestern Ontario District). This meeting was held January 30th and will be reported in the next issue. Mr. A. F Buell gave a very interesting paper which is printed elsewhere in the LOG BOOK. OTHER AREAS CONCERNED WITH SAFETY CLOTH ES AND SAFETY GUARDS Extracts from reports on a meeting of the Northeast Pulpwood Research Center, Northwestern Technical Committee, AP.A., held at Randolph, New Hampshire: "One member remarked that the wearing of hard hats by woodsworkers has helped to minimize accidents and that he was pleased at its acceptance by workers in the Northeast. He further stated that safety posters on the proper use of power saws, along with posters on safe truck loads, were sorely needed. With respect to the use of safety shoes, another member informed the group that these shoes are carried as regular stock in their camps. With no other type shoe available the workers have no alternative but to purchase this safety shoe. Another member informed the group that all workers on their Maine operations are wearing safety shoes. It was stated that all tractors of one company were to be equipped with safety canopies. Another member informed the group that inexpensive tractor canopies, constructed from wire rope, were being used on the West Coast. This type of guard is made of l ½ inch wire rope welded into pipe sockets that are bolted to a ¾inch plate br.acket, which in tum is welded to the side of the tractor unde·rneath the running boards. The cables are spaced about 24 inches apart from the rear of the tractor to the front of the runnin9 board. They are then tied together with galvanized sheet iron which acts as an umbrella, or with ·v2inch wire rope to eliminate sway and give additional support. They are reported to work better than a rigid guard due to the vibration over rough ground." ANSWERS TO QUICK CANADIAN QUIZ 1. By rivers. flowir,g north to Hudson Bay and the Arctic Ocean. 2.

What Mr. Chant a good plan is the first requisite lanning. We have the Marshal I an, Blue Cross Plans Pension forestry divisions we have Mang plans, and Operating plans, r who does not plan his opera -- tions well in advance. If a Safety program is to succeed, it must also be wel I planned, so that every move made ties into a general program. I am convinced, for instance, that propaganda in the form of posters, moving pictures and articles in periodicals is of little value unless it is a part of a planned Safety program. In other words, unless it is fol lowed up with personal contacts by the foreman and actual demonstrations in the field, this kind of propaganda alone wi II not save men from accidents, any more than it will save forests from forest fires. Where should we start with our plan? I would suggest t'iat it should be based on our own peculiar problems. In order to plan intelligently to avoid accidents, we must first know where accidents occur, if possible why they occur, when they occur and to what group of workers. A good deal of this information can be obtained from our own personnel department files. It was interesting to learn, for instance, that on our own operations, we are experiencing twice as many lost time accidents per l 00,000 man days among men who have worked for us from 6 months to one year than among those men who have worked one year or longer, and 6 ti mes as many among the men who have worked less than 6 months. We have eliminated staff from these figures in order that the low hazard occupations, a large percentage of which fall in the 1-year and over group, would not unduly distort the figures. Doesn't this indicate that our plan should call for emphasis on educating new and short term employees? Above all, I think it points out that all companies should plan to carry on all-season operations insofar as topographic and climatic conditions will allow, and thus be in a position to offer continuous employment to i.ts workers. Long term employees tend to be more responsible and prone to adopt safe methods. An assurance of steady work encourages bush workers to marry and settle d~wn. When they do this they may, by means of pers1sten~ Safety education be made Safety minded. Do you think that Safety re~ords of our pulp and pape~ mills would be as good as they are if the average period of employment were between 50 and 60 days? One could talk for hours on good planning but time does not allow it, and I must therefor pass on. THE SECOND POINT brought out at Caramat was that "we must give our spervisors training in Safety, ~s well as the know how of passing on Safety to their men". This point is basic and I therefor feel that it requires no enlarging. Different cor:npanies ':lay adopt different methods of educating their supervisors, but probably the staff meeting is the rY!Ost effective med-ium. It is my opinion that in Safety, as in other phases of woods operating, belief in the program an? a cooperative spirit on the part of the field staff 1s even more important than a complete knowledge of the _subject. Therefor, we must sell Safety to the supervisors as wel I as educate them in Safety methods. You and I must believe in what we are doing ! THE THIRD AND FOURTH POINTS at Caramat were that "there is a lack of Safety education at the workers' level" and that we should "work through the foreman". ' <Continued on Page 16) �PAGE 14 LOG BOOK ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED 11 One often hears someone say, *#!!?@!?*-they can't be prevented, they' re bound to happen. BUT this is not so. Careful supervision, training of new employees and accident prevention consciousness wi 11 pay off. For instance, the M - 0 camp at the Little Turtle Drive in charge of Mr. Fred McKay has gone 643 days without a lost-time accident. The last accident was on March 3, 1951. Another outstanding example is Camp S-108 of the Minnesota-Ontario company under Mr. Josef Poronto which has gone 425 days withour a lost-time accident. The last accident occurred on November 2, 1951. Compare your record to this ! 11 LONGLAC AND MARATHON WOODS WORKERS PURCHASE CANADA SAVINGS BONDS ·258 empJoyees of the Woodlands Division, Long ..

Surely the principles used to establish railway transportation costs for such raw products as wheat, coal, iron ore, etc., should also be applied to logs and pulwood. All comoanies are continuously experimenting,. searching for better ways to move the tree from the stump to the main road and these experiments are being watched with interest. This year we hope again to organize field trips so that members will have the opportunity of viewing one another's operations. Such co-operation in this industry ls indicative of the fact that the days of the ''timber barons" are over. We all have a lot to learn and we can all learn from each other. The use of one-man power chain saws is increasing and power saw companies are now establishing repair depots in the main centers in Northwestern Ontario. These saws are all employeeowned and result in higher production and therefore higher wages for the individual concerned. The recent announcement that the Dominion Income Tax Department recognizes the fact that these saws cost money to operate and is making an allowance when computing income tax deductions for owners of these pow e r saws should encourage more cutters to purchase saws. Besides the production from Crown Lands, many thousands of cords of farmers', settlers' wood and a great deal of lumber a re purchased annually from farmers a n d settlers throughout Northwestern Ontario. The production of forest products by these people today is a vital part of their living . Combined with produce from their farms the production of forest products in many cases means a year round occupation for farmers and settlers. In addition of course, many farmers and their horses and, in some cases, tractors and trucks work in the camps during the winter or in their "off season" . The attention of these farmers and settlers was again drawn to the fact that they may apply to the Department of Lands and Forests Thunder Bay Nursery for trees for reforestation, windbreaks and other projects . These trees were formerly supplied FREE but since October 1 952 the Government has placed a nominal charge and all species except ScotC'h Pine now cost $10.00 per thousand Every encouragement should be given to farmers to start plantations on their non-productive or marginal land.

In Canada the firm's Limit wood, Mr. Amidon said, is cut by small contractors and company camps. Five-year operating plans have been completed or are nearly complete for about two-thirds of the concession areas. To date, the Canadian division has 22 sustained yield cutting units; these vary in size from 20,000 acres to 60,000 acres. The average size is about 36,000 acres. The annual cut for the first period varies from 2,500 cords to 20,000 cords and the average is 7,800 cords. A total of about 170,000 cords of wood annually or about 50 per cent of the firm's Canadian production comes from these sustained yield units. About 40 per cent of M and O's total needs in both Minnesota and Canada comes from the 52 sustained yield units. "When the company completes its present cutting plans, it is estimated that it will obtain about 50 per , cent of its total needs from areas established on a sustained yield basis," Mr. Amidon said. The main advantave of this type of planning is ' lower cost ¥ ood, Mr. Amidon said. . "It may take some time," he said, "before the potential value of sustained yield cutting is fully re.:31ized, but on the premise that ·wood will be more valuable in the future, and all trends support this view, the eventual advantage to those mills starting now to grow maximum volume of high quality wood close to their mills carinot be doubted." Mr. Amidon said that the major reason why there has been such a spurt in industrial forestry within the last few years is because of the recogniton that high cost pulpwood manufacturing facilities cannot be moved when the supply of raw material gives out, and therefore, a sustained supply of wood is essential to sound financing. There are five major factors that tend to lower the cost of wocxt under sustained yield planning; according to Mr. Amidon they are: l. The cost per cord of major development items such a~ camps, roads and river improvements wi II be less if these facilities will be of permanent use and, in the long run, service a larger volume of wood. 2. Better planning is possible in an area established as a continua.us cutting unit. The complete road system r.an be laid out so that each piece of road will serve the maximum volume of wood. 3. After major development work is complete, annual expenditures for extensions, maintenance and improvement of these facilities will be much lower and more uniform. 4. A more stable and dependable labor force can be developed on this type of operation . 5 . . Higher q1Jality wood and much greater yields per acre will be obtained in the long run. Eventually each Ol"'e of these units will have a balanced distribution of age classes and trees can be harvested when they ream their peak in growth, but before they start to deteriorate. 1 A WOODS MANAGER LOOKS AT SAFETY (Continued from Page 13) During our field Safety meeting at Longlac in the l 951 , Nick Bond, the cutter who demonstrated safe cu ods, told us that he felt the best means of selling Safe to bush workers was through the foreman.

ALGOMA STREET PORT ARTHUR, ONTARIO �t'AGE LOG BOOK 18 REAPPRAISAL OF THE LUMBER BARONS (Continued from Page 4) gushers which get the publicity. All I have said about "quality consciousness," which was pounded into the heads of every American from the early l 600's to the establishment of the lumber industry in Wisconsin about 1830 is but the buildup of my idea as to why there should be a re-appraisal of the actions of the early timber operators. People who criticize these early operators do so in the light of today's economic situation. They do not go back to survey what the conditions were when these fellows were doing business. The one point I want to stress more forcibly than any other is the fact that the ultimate user of these timber products, through long indoctrination which came down from generation to generation, knew good lumber when he saw it. He usually had but little money and insisted on getting full value for every dollar he spent. No one could afford to produce ~ marginal grade of lumber. With such discerning customers who would not buy it if at all defective, and with all the cost of getting it to market with little or no salvage if rejected, it was simply commercial suicide to cut anything except the best the forest produced. No lumberman ever missed the opportunity to use and sell anything from the forest which would yield a profit. We hear people rant about what these' men left in the forest, the wasteful practices they employed and a general criticism of everything they did, including gouging the lumberjacks in the company stores and cutting rounr:1 forties. The necessity for quality of product explain~ why they were compelled to leave much of the tree in the woods. We also hear frequent reference to "virgin for-ests." From this one would think that the forests the early settlPrs found here were the first trees which ever grew up from that soil. Such reasoning is falacious, as there were trees growing on the same lands for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years before the settlers ·moved into the territory. Many of these trees in the so-called virgin forests had reached maturity and many hacl long since lost their value in making prime lumber. This accounted for much that was left in the woods. The evi Is of the old company store or wanigan business have been aired by critics for years, but if the truth were known, the lumberjacks bought their clothing, tobacco and other necessities at a much lower cost than they could have bought them in some store in town. There may have been exceptions as there are in every iridustry, but lumbermen knew then, as they do now, that they must have a following of satisfied men in the woods; 0therwise they could not maintain a crew and carry on business. Time was when men would drive logs or rafts down to St. Louis and walk back 500 or 600 miles to work for the same company and then repeat the same down-river performance the next spring and summer. Many had records of 25 or more years with the same company, which indicates to me that there were some good employers who were evidentlv well liked by their men. , Of course, in the lumbering as in all other businesses, there were those who, being primarily lazy, missed their opportunities to duplicate the performance of those who were willing to work. Anyone engaged in business during the 18th and 19th centuries had to work or they fell by the wayside. It was a hard life compared to present-day standards and was a good example of "the survival of the fittest." While men were created "free and equal," they were not endo the same abHity to think for themselves and t gumption to work for the attainment of their was the indolPnt ones who always gossiped abo who went ahead and made a place for thern business or profession.

This ion has always existed and probably always wil there be a complete change in all human natu The cutting of timber on government Ian the lands of othe·r owners did not exist exce instances. A few instances, however, were for the critics to use in their criticism of the dustry. The price of land was relatively low urally those who were most alert purchased t the lands available. Again, this gave the la opportunity to gripe about their competitors. Assuming there were things done which be done today, what did these lumbermen development of a new country? They risk cumulated savings to establish an industry it possible for the building up of towns, citi opening up of vast farming areas to the we they provided all the building materials for of construction. With the great agricultural developm plains states, the demand for lumber inc mendously and shortly after the turn of th 1904 to be ~xact, the production of lumber States reached its peak. Concurrent with was a movement inaugurated by some for to get people really interested in good for and the renewal of our timber resources. a few sporadic efforts had been made to i with the idea of reforestation.

You have- seen and heard of what can be accomplished by a few concerns working together to spread the gospel of planting trees for tomorrow. These concerns will not realize any direct benefits from their efforts for years to come, but they realize that trees grown anywhere, by anyone, at any time, add to the over-ali national supply which eventually will provide for industrial use and all the multitude of recreational activities so necessary to the well-being of all people. I have not attempted to defend individual companies in my re-appraisal of those engaged in the lumber industry, but have simply tried to give you something to think about as to what these people had to cope with when these so-called "depredations" occurred.

I susper:t that the term "lumber barons" originated about the turn of the century when all muck rakers and magazine publishers in the country were capitalizing on their favorite sport of lambasting everyone of any consequence in industry. Realizing the political advantage of stirring up the non-drinking public through attacks on the people who had vision and courage and who, through their efforts, developed the highest standard of living known to mankind, it was only a short time ago that the then president of the United States classified all industrialists as "economic royalists," whatever that catch phrase means. At any rate, it is one not supposed to be helpful in any letter of recommendation. We, in the Lake States, may well discard the continuous carping about the pioneer lumbermen and realize that present day practice is not comparabJe with any past performance.

I would at this time like to pay tribute to our woodsworkers as individual citizens. Each year they are more and more tak ing their place in the social as well as the economic life of Northwestern Ontario. Their support to the Community Chest and ot'1er charity drives, purchase of Canadian G~vern_ment Bonds, etc ., are all indicative of the type of men working in the woods tod3y . Ministers of the Gospel , Shantymen's Christian Association representatives visit the camps 2nd are well received, . In some of the depot areas community clubs have been organized and sports and other recreations are taking their place in the development of the life in the woods. While referring to our employees, I would just like to ment ion in pa~sing the great emphasis being µlaced on safety in tl,c woods. Our slogan is "QUALITY PRODUCTION WITH SAFET(". Our products have to be cut to specifictions and we want quality products but we want quality products with no accidents._ The number of accidents in 1he wocds must be cut down and with the co-operation of the employees, the union, management and the safety association I feel that the accident rate can be cut down . This Association and member companies support the LakeTechnical Institute and we are happy to co-operate with the Forestry Instructors in arranging visits to operations by students, supplying guest lecturers and, in addition, we have, for each of the past four years, given a two hundred dollar oursary to a selertcd student. Our Association also co-operates with the F-ort William Sanatorium and arranges tours for the mobile X-ray vehicle . Th is service is on the go pretty well the year round and is good insurance . During the past year 3,355 employees were x-rayed. Manv men are told of chest conditions whicb they did not know they had and were advised to see their own doctors . Discovering other chest conditions in these surveys 1s possible because large 35mm. x-ray olates are used. During the past year a Northwestern Ontario Committee on Research was organized under the auspices of the Ontario Researc.h Council. Mr . Jack Godden, Woodlands Manager of the Great Lakes Paper Company Limited was appointed the Ontario Research Counci I representative on this Committee and member companies appointed three representatives: Mr. K. W. Hearnden, Mr . H. 0 . Kantola and Mr. G. R. Sonley as representatives of the industry on this Committee. Research is very necessary. We must know more about the trees, soil conditions, growing cycles, etc ., etc ., and I know that the co-operation of member companies and their personnel is assured to the research agencies . do to accelerate research should be done . I should like to take the liberty of extending a word ot helpful caution to the Department of Lands and Forests. During the past few years many changes have taken place in forest legislation. No fair minded person would deny that many of these change:; were necessary and perhaps overdue . However, forest management, whether on Crown or private lands, is a business ancJ, just like all other businesses, must follow the principles of economics . This is particularly true on Crown Forests since not only must practically all Departmental revenue be cerived tram the marketing of forest products, but even more importantly the enormous expenditures necessary for development of roads and facilitiC's have to be financed from the sale of forest products. There must be a margin between productive cost c1nd market price and this margin must be big enough to provide for development expense as well as to maintain the tremendous forest and rn which .;1re the real backbone to th ➔ economy of the enti -especially in this region . if regulations or legislati plied in a manner that injures the basic principle of agement - the essentiality of adequate returns -- in the our whole economy w:11 be impaired and thus the e lation will be harmed , not just the people earning the within the industry. There has been up until now a boom in the for inc:lustrv - but costs have crept up dangerously high wi;;e we will realize that while demand for forest pr be· stable the boom aspects are over .

It shdlild be emphasized that this survey has not by any means provided complete data with regard to foot injuries in woods operations. It is felt, however, that it does support certain tentative conclusions which may serve as guides to the manufacturers of footwear in trying to produce better foot protection for woods workers. The need for such improvement seems to be proportioned approxim.1tely as follows: INJURIES TO Inner side Outer side Top Sole . RIGHT FOOT LEFT FOOT 17.3 % 30.6~() 21.7 5.0 13.3 % 7.0 23.7 3.7 52.3 % 47.7 % l 00.0~~ 8.3 TOTAL 15.3 45.4 8.7 From careful study of injuries to that part of the feet normally protected by safety-toed footwear presently available, it is estimated that at least 75 of the 300 injudies (255f) would have been avoided, or certainly much reduced in severity, had that type of foot protection been worn by the men concerned. In view of this fact, it appears that more general use of safetytoed rubbers, or leather shoes, in the woods can very definitely help in reducing the number of foot injuries, even in the present imperfect state of development of such footwear. While endeavoring to secure a higher degree of foot protection for woods workers, we should not fai I to take fuller advantage of what is al ready to be had in that respect. A 25 % betterment is worth going after, pending more effective means of obtaining relief from some of the other injuries to the feet of woods workers. In conclusion, our thankful appreciation is hereby express€d to all who co-operated in this project by submitting reports of foot injuries for analysis. It is hoped that the result as reported herein will be thought valuable enough to repay the effort involved.

I am thankful for the opportunities we had in visiting the men in the camps these past summer months and the welcome received. Also I would like to give out some thoughts to the readers of your LOG BOOK. Who is God? Genesis l: l In the beginning God Some generations ago when that great body of eminent Christian leaders came together to give a defination of God, they made it a special prayer for guidance. One man in his prayer addressed God thus "Oh God, Thou art a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable, in Thy being wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth." The assembly agreed that this spontaneous outburst of prayer was the best definition that could be found, which was adopted . Also, Dr. A. Strong in his systematic theology says, "God is the infinite and perfect Spirit in whom all things have their source, support and end." Although the Bible gives no formal definition ot c;;od, neither does it offer any proof of His existencee. We lawfully conclude from this fact that no proof is needed, only the fool denies it. Psalm 14: l - 3, "The fool in his heart hath said there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good . The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become fi Ithy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one." The word fool in the Hebrew is nabal, according to its root meaning, suggests destitution. Only the one who is out of touch with the life of God denies the existence of the Divine Being. The word fool implies moral difficulty rather than intellectual. In every case it reveals spiritual bankruptcy. Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle, who shall dwell in Thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to '1is neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach ag .. ainst his neighbor, and as Nicodemus sought the Lord Jesus by night, also must we all do likewise, seek the Savior of men for eternal Salvation, which is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus answered and said Verily, Verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 5:24. Verily, Verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My word, .and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, .and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. And in the words of Psalm 139:23 and 24 - Search me, 0 God and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. May the Lord's richest blessing be upon you all, as you seek to serve Him. Sincerely in His Service, James H.

FOREST F•RE COLOURED TALKIE FILM PRODUCED A fifteen-minute coloured talkie film ( 16 mm.) entitled "Fighting Forest Fires in Northwestern Ontario" has been produced by the Thunder Bay Timber Operators' Association in co-operation with the Department of Lands and Forests Geraldton District. The purpose of this film is to give woods workers and others who might be called on to fight a fire a picture and a description of how to fight a forest fire. This picture was made to be shown in fifteen minutes so it can be a part of the regular movie show throughout the summe,. season. This film is not designed to replace training with forest fire fighting equipment but should supplement training. By showing in the camps on the regular movie schedule operators will ensure that men who have been hired since the last movie showing (labour turnover) will see the picture and, by repeatedly showing to employees how to fight a forest fire, the men will have the sequence and principles of forest fire fighting constantly before them. Repetitive showing will pay dividends. Actors in the film are employees of the Department of Lands and Forests Geraldton District. The Technical Director was Mr. G. D. MacAdam, Forest Fire Specialist of the Department of Lands and Forests Geraldton District. The film was produced under the di rectio~ of the Forest Protection Committee of the Thunder Bay Timber Operators' Association and Mr. Ken Campbel I of the Marathon Paper Mills of Canada Limited w~s the photographer and producer. Prints of this film are being sold to member companies in Northwestern Ontario, to the Department of Lands and Forests and are avai_lable to any interested organization or company.

Cameron The statement has been made before and wi 11 no doubt be repeated many times in the future, that good cutting practices are a major part of forestry. It will be generally realized that the term "cuting practices" encompasses several very broad subjects dealing with the harvesting of the forests. However, in this article we shall endeavor to look at cutting practices in relation to the cutter and his everyday job, and point out how he may, by sticking to a few simple rules, do his part in creating good as opposed to bad, cutting practice. The term itself is a very old one but it is bne which from year to year takes on new and varied meaning. For instance in our own country during the seige of the Ottawa Valley for pine timber, the term no doubt existed, but in those days the emphasis would be on size and quality of timber. Today when we have a little more knowledge of the potentialities and also the limitations of o u r forest, the emphasis i s on complete practical utilization of our forests and modernization of the cutting steps in line with advances taken in industry. The following observations are common knowledge to all woods personnel who endeavor to impress upon the cutters the advantages of adhering whenever possible to these rules. In the carrying out of these regulations there are benefits to all concerned; the cutter the company and of course the owners of the woodlands, the Canadian public. There are possibly seven main rules which all con-trol men try to teach and like all rules which have evolved from years of observation and practice, they have a sound basis. It might be wise to herewith list some of these rules followed by a short explanation as to why they are sound. 1. Stump Heights All trees must be cut as near ground level as possible and not more than f o u r inches above the commencement of root swel I. • The reasons for this regulation are fairly obvious. The largest diameter of the tree is naturally at the base and consequently considerable wood volume is left on the ground in the form of high stumps, wherever this bad practice is tolerated. As for the cutter, the back stretch entailed in cut-ing low stumps pays big dividends in his pocket book for it is those butt logs which make the pile grow. 2. Top Diameters A statement which control men get ti red of repeating and no doubt cutters get tired of hearing is "Watch those tops". In striving for complete practical utilization of the tree, no tops over four inches in diameter must be left in the slash. 3. Limbing All limbs and stubs must be cut off flush with the bolt. This is a tedious and time-consuming job for the cutter, particularly in open grown stands. However it is only right that if a cutter is being paid for a cord pile of wood he should produce a full measure and not a pile which is loose due to a filler of stubs and branches. In addition these stubs create complications in the mill which require additional expenditure to rectify. 4. Piling Piles should be tight, neat, wel I braced a of the ground on skids. All timbers used in struction of pile bottoms and braces should sticks or from unmerchantable species. The main advantage resulting from a pile becomes apparent during the haul. 5. Proper Length The pulpwood sticks should be cut as cl specified length as is possible. This may done by making use of a measuring stick frame of known length. Improper length is usually the result ness and is a constant source of trouble. F extra long sticks may get hung up and cau the loading . The extra wood in such stic waste if the bolts are slashed at the mill. are too short it means additional work fo for it requires more pieces of short wo cord. 6. Saving Small Trees We all know by now that a forest m care and attention if it is to continue ever-needed pulpwood used by the indust cut over an area we must take steps to abundance of seedlings are present whi a forest crop in perpetuity. Fortunately, nature usually provide crop to replace the old. However, the in this forest perpetuation by avoiding t struction of seedlings growing in the ar is working. 7. Safety First Needless to say, we cannot practi unless we also practice safety on the j Most accidents result from poor lessness. If a cutter is always on the that his tools are in good condition, accidents can be cut to a minimum. The cutter who fol lows the gene above not only greatly benefits hims a large part towards -guaranteeing t, business continues as one of Canada industries.

SI PPELL Forest Insect Laboratory, Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. In rece11t years, many of the forests of Ontario have been plagued by incalculable numbers of caterpi Ila rs which have denuded thousands of square miles of broad-leaved stands. This insect which has become so infamous with the general public, and particularly with persons in the woods during the spring and early summar, is commonly referred to as the forest tent caterpillar, and more technically as Malacosoma disstria Hbn. nesota. By l 952, the infestation had increased the area shown on the accompanying map. Me heavy infestations occurred as far west as easte itoba and east to Lake Nipigon. The area of in shown in Minnesota is based on information from the . Office of the State Entomologist, Minnesota. In 1952, the infestation in areas si nee 1949 was somewhat less severe. Records of its occurrence in extreme numbers date back to at least l 843, and si nee that ti me, outbreaks have occurred periodically at roughly l O to 14 year intervals in parts of northern Ontario. Data on previous outbreaks ar~ meagre and it is therefore difficult to compare the extent of present and past outbreaks. However, trembling aspen, the main host tree of the forest tent caterpillar, has become more abundant in recent years and it is reasonable to assume that the present outbreak is orie of the largest of its kind on record. In 1952, :m area of approximately 100,000 square miles in OntMio was affected by medium to heavy infestation. The forPcasts of infestation rati"ngs for J based on a survey of the average number of eg per tree at various points throughout the regi points and the appropriate ratings appear on t panyi ng map.

It is th~ general purpose of this paper to briefly review the history of the present outbreak in northwestern Ontario, t,o forecast generally infestation intensities in 1953, and finally, to point out the factors wh ;ch will be responsible for its eventual termination . History of the Present Outbreak in Northwestern Ontario As early as 1948, collections of the forest tent caterpillar were made at widely-scattered points in northwestern Ontario. However, damage was limited to only partial defoHation of trembling aspen trees. In 1949, the m:mbers of caterpillars increased to such a degree in the vicinities of Dryden and Sioux Lookout and north of Lac Seul that numerous trees were completely stripped. In 1950, this infestation increased considerably in size and a series of small localized infestation~ occurred north of the international boundary between Rairiv Lake and Lake Superior. In 1951, these infestations IT'erged and extended to the south and east to include the entire eastern half of the Fort Frances and Kenora forest districts, the southern portion of the Sioux . Lookout District south and east of Lac Seu I, and more than 3,000 square miles of the Port Arthur District.

COST OF VACATIONS WITH PAY BOOKS INCREASED Due to the increased cost of administration, printing, etc., the Ontario Industry and Labour Board has found it necessary to increase the cost of the vacationwith-pay stamp books from 25c to 35c to partially cover the total expenditure of the vacation-with-pay stamp credit system.

Carter Water transportation of pulpwood from the cutting operations to the Mill still remains the cheapest and most economical of all methods. In order to take full advantage of the economy, manufacturers must avail themselves of a flexible and sturdy haul-up or jackladder system. At the present time most companies have developed jackladders for this purpose which are more or less self operative. It must be realized that certain modifications a re necessary depending upon such factors as pond size and location, quantity and size of wood to be handled, time of year operation, etc. bue generally speaking the basic principles of operation are the same. Regardless of whether the logs come up sidewise or on end, whether fed to an indoor or outdoor slasher, with or without a hot pond, or whether selective sorting occurs out of the water it is felt a typical haul-up description w i I I furnish the reader with an idea of the problems encountered. For this reason the jackladder of The Great Lakes Paper Co. Ltd. operations at Fort William, Ontario will be outlined briefly. This unit consists of a floating wooden approach flume coupled with an all metal welded box structure supported on pi le groups to which ci rculators are attached to draw the water with its load of wood to the moving chains. The original structure was manually fed and hence certain adjustments had to be carried out. A retaining wall running back and up from the river surface approximately l 00 feet horizontally and 12 to 15 feet vertically on an angle of about 18 ° to allow railway tracks and a truck road to pass over the conveyor had been bui It some years previously and this had to be raised 42 inches at the river end with a gradual recession to its original line at a point just north of the f'xisting roadway. In ord~r to accomplish this change pMts of the retaining wall had to be strengthened with uprights and spreaders, road deck raised, and in a couple of instances spreaders elevated so that the entire conveyor trough could be jacked up on the stringers along its entire length and posts added to maintain this new position. Simultaneously, with this work a contractor was brought in to drive the piling to hold the metal box, flume and booms. For the metal box portion, individual piles in triangular groups of three were placed at predetermined positions and fastened together by waling in line and in groups top and bottom. At the same ti me the pi le clusters for the flume were driven, pulled together and wrapped with cable. Once the piling was finished the metal brought over from Port Arthur. This box was ated from plate and angle iron with suitable Sti and reinforcements at the required stations a ·tained provisions for chain guides, walkways housing attachments, etc. Without any of equipment, the box weighed upwards of 28 t since the Diesel crane with outriggers was not of lifting this load with the flat boom that required to place it into the water, the dee, reached to float it over.

Then on a cal ing it was lashed to the side of a Company brought over in a little over two hours. iculty was experienced with a leaking bul with the service of a small gas pump it fin without mishap. Next, the supporting beams were I position so that the box could be floated and beams attached securely to it.

Mr. T S. Jones, Serretary-Manager, Thunder Bay Timber Ope'"ators' Association, was guest speaker of the evening. Mr. Jones dealt with an address given by Mr. E E. Soarrow, Chairman of the Workmen's Compensation Board of Ontario at a joint meeting held a few days prior ir Port Arthur, and also outlined the responsibility of safety work from supervisors to the woods employee. He urged all to take advantage of the visit of the Lumbermen's Safety Association Inspector in this area and to co-operate with him and after his visit to carry out t'1e safety work discussed. The nPxt fifteen days after the meeting Mr. D. C. George ancl Mr. G. R. Potts visited depots and camps in the arei=I. Motion pictures on safety practices and the administering of first aid in the woods were shown. Over 1200 workmen attended these meetings and the cooperation on all levels was very gratifying to the Lumbermen's Safety Association Inspectors.

A few general remarks relating to this specialized phase of forest inventory are submitted. The governing factor or foundation for the best possible results in this type of aerial reconnaisance, resolves itself into an accurate base map. As the Department of Lands and Forests has completed its photographic coverage of most of the Province, these essential base maps are now available and curtai I the flying hours, used in the forest cover examination, to a minimum graphy on the other hand wi 11 not for some ti least provide the color, the various intensities 0 are so necessary in species, age class and quali ification. • One of the main attributes of aerial tim ping lies in the time element involved which the cost of the operation to but a fraction of of other methods of reconnaisance. Much of this work of late years has su first phase of t h e preparation o f Manage Operating Plans and in conjunction with grou ories. The former contributing a qualitative the latter a quantitative analysis. With a aerial type map, strips can readily be confi represented types for ground sampling and field work can be curtailed to a minimum provide the basis for an accurate inventory. With lakes, rivers, roads or other topographic detai I accurately located, forest types can be delimited and accurately tied in to these features, which assist materially in the value of the results obtained. From a11 elevation of from 3000 to 4000 feet, the area is flown and the forest types located in detail and classified oi, the prepared base map. Sawlog material is separated by species from pulpwood; mature timber from advance potential approaching merchantability, or second growth and immature stands are delimited and tagged w i th a l 0 - 15 year a g e spread by species. Waste aeras are also accurately located and classified. Type maps are completed to any desired scale, with 20 chains to tre inch; or 4 inches to the mile, constituting the scale most frequently used. On completion of the project, a Iinen tracing is submitted to serve as a permanent record; a negative or vandyke, a linen backed blue lined print, colored in oils and surfaced and a report on the area examined . The coloured map at a glance indicates the entire story of the timbered tract. Mature soft wood as sawtimber or pulpwooci is confined to one color. Mature mixed woods are represented by another color; second growth by a third with burns and productive non-operable forest land in c;till another; swamps, rock, water or nonproductive areas similarly indicated. At the scale of 20 chains to the inch; a six mile township (36 square miles) can be completed in from 4 to 5 hours flying at a cost of from $30.00 to $35.00 per hour. At 40 chains three hours are required and at a mile to an inch 2 hours are necessary to complete a similar area with hourly flying costs as above, exclusive of ferry to the scene of the operations. To complete a detailed type map of a l 000 square mile tract at 20 chains to the inch, the overall average costs should not exceed $8.4 per square mile. A 500 square mile tract at the same scale should be a trifle over half this amount; while a parcel of l 00 square miles might run as high as $15.00 per square mile. At smaller scales less flying hours result, fees are less and a general substantial reduction all across the board. In Ontario particularly with some 2400 hours spent over the past seven years in this type of aerial inventory, this method of analysis has become increasingly 'popular and its results should not be relegated to the rearguard in comparison with aerial photography and stereoscopic analysis. There is a distinct field for beth and each possesses advantages not supplied by the other. For instance, aerial sketching can never provide the dimension supplied by a stereoscope so important in road locations and other topographic detail.

Some Problems Related to Foliage Diseases Man's tendency to bring about a continual change in natural forest conditions has, in many instances, resulted ir"' an abnormal incidence of foliage diseases. Particularly thi~ is true of those leaf diseases caused by rust fungi which require two hosts in order to complete their life cycle. In a number of cases, a forest tree acts as one of the hosts and an agricultural crop plant as the other. Examples of this type of disease are white pine blister rust which parasitises white pine trees and currant or gooseberry bushes, and cedar-apple rust which parasitises red cedar and trees of the apple family. Conditions favourable to the development of rust diseases may arise when forested areas adjoin agricultural areas. Local epidemics frequently occur when susceptible tref' species are grown in the vicinity of susceptible field crops. Usually our native foliage diseases are able to kill only small trees. By the time the tree reaches the sapling or pole stage there is little probability of mortality from leaf diseases unless they are severe enough to cause defoliation for several successive years. Damage among older trees is a reduction in growth or increment resulting froM a reduction in the amount of living leaf surface. Introduced foliage diseases may do greater damage. Ori occasion foliage diseases have been introduced into Canada and the United States from other continents, especially from Europe, on nursery stock. Because our trees may lack all resistance to attack, some introduced diseases have proved to be very serious diseases of our nativ€ trees. On occasion these diseases have been able to exceed their ability to cause minor leaf injuries anci have produced stem cankers which girdled and killed trees in short order. In Canada and in the United States, forest practice now includes rather extensive programmes of tree breeding. The purpose of this work is to develop nevv strains of tre~s which are resistant to disease but possess a form anci growth rate equal or superior to our present trees. Tree breeders must consider always that a foliage disease which has been relatively unimportant on parent trees may become of tremendous importance on hybrid trees. The Septoria Canker of poplar is an excellent example 0f a native disease of minor importance on native poplars which became a destructive disease on . introduced poplars and on certain hybrid poplars which lacked resistance to attack. Some vears ago some Russian poplars and some hybrid poplars, apparently evolved through crosses between cottonwood and balsam poplar, were widely propagated <'nd distributed throughout eastern Canada and th~ prairie provinces. These trees were hardy, grew fast, and developed a good form under conditions usually difficult for- the successful cultivation of trees. Soon after establishment, however, it was discovered that these trees became seriously affected with a canker disease which did not resemble any of the known canker diseases of p()plar. After investigation it was shown that the fungus causing the disease occurred everywhere that poplar was grown in Canada and caused a leafspotting disease of minor importance on native poplars. On certain hvbrids and introduced poplars, in addition to causing leaf injury, the fungus spread back into stems to cause cankers which soon gird led and the trees. It was necessary to abandon the cultiva susceptible exotic species and hybrid strains. . It is evident that a real danger may be enco in introducing foreign trees and using untested developed in tree breeding. Experience has sh no tree br~eding programme can be successful the inclusion of a means for testing all new st~ susceptibility or resistance to disease. It is essen foresters favouring the use of exotic or hybri should insure that they have been pre-tested t for dise;:ise resistance. 1. - Leaf of black currant, heavily infected by the blister rust fungus.

Fire No. 21 - 12 Kenora Division April 30th. North of north-west arm of Dryberry Lake, 40 acres. This fire evidently started from a lunch fire that had been smoldering for a month on an island in Up Lake eventually breaking out and jumped to the mainland and destroying 350 cords of stacked pulpwood. Crew and equipment from Camp L-311 assisted Department Rangers in putting out fire. Fire No. 18 - 16 Dryden Division May 19th. Ladysmith Township, ½ acre. This fire was started by jobbers smoking while walking through the bush. Good work by the pilot in landing fire crew in small lake north of the fire enabled crew to get to fire before reaching heavy slash. This could have been a serious fire. Sioux Lookout - 3 fires caued by logging operations. Fire No. l began on April 29th, 1952 at a jobber camp on the Ontario and Minnesota Limit near the Red Lake Road. This was caused by a burning sawdust pile from a portable mill, which had not been properly extinguished at the close of operations. The fire burned an area of l 00 acres, however, only 2 acres of this was stanaing timber, the remainder being clear cut by logging in 1951 leaving a lot of slash which made suppression difficult. Fire No. 3 began on May 4th, 1952 on a limit north of Hudson, Ontario. This fire was also caused by a burning sawdust pile from a portable mill which had not been properly extinguished. The final area of this fire was 110 acres, with 105 acres of standing timber consisting mostly of mature Jackpine with some spruce and balsam and 5 acres of clear cut by logging. A stockpile of 250 cords of spruce pulpwood and 1500 Jackpine sawlogs were also burned. Fi re No. 11 occurred on June 15th at a mi II at Hudson, Ontario. This was caused by sparks from a pile of burning sawdust and slabs. The area of this fire was ½ acre and no standing timber was burned. Port Arthur - 1 fire caused by Logging Operations. Only one fire occurred in the logging areas this season, this being on the east side of Davidson Lake . The fire was investigated by the Ontario Provincial Rolice, and also by officials of Abitibi. It is surmised that it was caused by the carelessness of any one of three individuals who are named in the report. The Company took the necessary disciplinary action. Geraldton - 2 fires caused by Logging Operations. Both logging operation fires occurred at, or about the same time on May 22nd, 1952. The cause of the two fires was attributed to a faulty manifold on a truck by both the Ontario Provincial Police and company officials. Kapuskasi"g - 1 fire caused by Logging Operations. Logging operation fire caused by discarded cigarettes. Activities of this Association d o n o t cover the Chapleau District and we have no member companies 1n that district, but the causes of logging fires in the Chapleau District are interesting.

Born and brought up in Bonaventure Co., Gaspe, Province of Quebec_. that rugged land which Jacques Cartier first sighted on his way up the St. Lawrence, Albert started lumbering at a very youthful age and by way of Kapuskasing, etc., finally worked his way to this area . His first experience at loading was by hand onto a team. While this, in his own words was alright for a man who was young and vigorous, it was strictly the brute strength and awkwardness method, and the human body would soon burn out doing that type of work. It may well have started his train of thought along lines which enabled him to devise the efficient mechanical method he is using today. He has seen and operated many other systems since then, for example, the deckling line, the horse jammer, the mechanical jammer and several others. This loader is driven by a drum. There is a power take-off from the truck transmission to a three geared (reversa, second and low) additional transmission which drives the loading drum. At the ends of the two bunks on the side receiving the load are two 5-foot posts (removable) and on the opposite side a rack seven feet high, with two metal rollers (top and bottom) six feet long, six inches in diameter on roller bearings. The drum cable has at the end a crotch line, with two 22 foot chains (with small hooks at the end) f the logs to be skidded onto the truck. Two long are run from the bunks to the ground part of the loading. The side posts are the the bunks and two 16 foot skids are used t the top loading of the truck. The drum cable is 125 feet long and taken from a skidway of this length with ing necessary. The system is further ad that the skidway may be on an adverse sl taken without any trouble, it works fast, the truck body (no heavy logs dropping feet down on the frame), and very mobil bui It ori the truck with the only extras sets of skids for raising the logs up.

Canada has 7 standard time zones and the difference between the most easterly, Newfoundland, and the most westerly, Yukon, is five and a half hours. --Quick Canadian Facts. - - -- - 0 - - - - - - ANSWERS: 1.

JONES By the time this issue of the Log Book reaches yoLl we hope we will have terminated one· of the most rigorous winter and spring seasons in our history. Certainly the vagaries of the weather man can only make us conjecture on what the summer season will bring. At least we know anything is possible and that it might be wise to prepare for the worst. The fire season wi 11 soon be with us, and to those of us who will have to do with summer bush operations of any description, it would be wise to add a word or two regarding Fire Prevention. During the past two seasons much good has come from joint meetings between Operators and the Department of Lands and Forests. It is agreed that all of the things we would like to see accomplished by both partie!· have by no :-neans oeen implemented. However, the seed of mutual co-operation has been sown and I believe we can expect much improvement in matters of fire prevention and suppression as the seasons go by. From an operator's viewpoint, I befieve we can lead the way starting this year. Instead of looking upon the Fire Prevention Plan as a necessary evil in order to carry on summer operations, we should readily set up a Firr ation gets under way. The Prevention Plan should be foremost in everyone's mind and be an integral part c the operation itself. A one day course was set up by the Department in May in the Sturgeon River Area. One day does not appear to be sufficient for such a meeting. However, the success of this initial step will lead to something we have advocated for a long time and that is a spring training course for fire fighters. In the meantime here is wishing every success to Spri_ng and Summer operations. -H. H. "Bert" Styffe, President.

The regulations cover all employment in Lumbering and Logging and all operators, including contractors or jobbers who employ labour, must be registered with the Unemployment Insurance Commission. The Unemployment Insurance Commission has issued to all operators a memorandum entitled, "Additional information for Employers in Lumbering and Logging," which gives details of the application and administration of the Act in so far as the Woods Industry is concerned. A successful meeting was held in Port Arthur on March 27th and representatives of companies heard Mr. W. J. E. Smyth of the Unemployment Insurance Commission, Ottawa, go into details of co-operation between companies, and the Unemployment Insurance Commission, to try a·nd foretell and avoid the many administration difficulties that will probably occur. , Mr. G A McCauley, Regional Auditor from Win nipeg, local officials of the Unemployment l":'surance Commission and the National Employment Service were also present along with representatives of operators One action that can assist both the Unemployment Insurance Commision and the operators is for employees to have their Unemployemnt Insurance Book when they accept employment and all employees should be urged not to lose these as they are necessary if unemployment insurance benefits are applied for ABITIBI QUARTER CENTURY CLUB INCLUDES REPRESENTATIVES OF WOODS DEPARTMENT 31 of 501 active members of the Abitibi Quarter Century Club are members of Woods Departments.

BOULTBEE One of a series of articles by members of the Northwest- ern Ontario Section-Canadian Society of Forest Engineers Forest Protection today is a concern of the average citizen, especially if he is working in the bush. Just as the average citizen fought and won our last two wars, so he is the man on whom effective forest protection de-, pends.. It is everyone's job to be on guard against the starting of fires, and to fight them vigorously if and when they do start. There was a time when these unpleasant chores were left to a specially appointed government agency known loosely as "The Forestry." Today most people realize that the best man to fight a fire is the one closest to it. Such being the case, it is easy to see why men in logging camps are key personnel in forest protection. Naturally the best state is never to permit a fire to start. This calls for a conscious and continuous effort on the part of all of us to obey the rules of common sense regarding matches, camp-fires, smoking material, etc. All timber companies have such rules based on common sense which any good citizen will adhere to without question. The first person to watch is oneself; after that we should watch our companions. Mutual care is essential. Fire will start occasionally in spite of the best preventive efforts. When this happens it pays off to know what to do. Skill in fighting fires is just as important as skill in cutting and piling pulpwood or sawlogs. One of the oldest rules of existence is to guard your means of livelihood. If you are a camp foreman you carry certain definite responsibilities for forest protection placed directly on your shoulders by yow company. The Government of Ontario makes al I companies responsible for forest protection in their own areas. The company is obliged to place a prescribed amount of fire fighting equipment in each camp and to appoint Honorary Fire Wardens. Your first responsibility as a camp foreman therefore is to maintain your fire fighting equipment in good condition ready to use, and ·to keep your key men alert and informed of their duties in the event of fire. As a camp ~oreman you will also find it to your ad~ vantage to consider what you would do in the different parts of the area under your care in case of fire. This means that you should size up where your dangerous areas are. Usually ac,umulations of slash are the outstanding danger, especially by routes of travel. Old grass, slab piles and other refuse can be dangerous too. You should decide in advance what you would do in or near any of these areas in the event of fire, keeping in mind the movements and numbers of your men. The following ·points should be kept in mind w~ you are deciding what you would do to fight a fire the various parts of your camp area. Where are the r0c and trails you which your men can use to get to each a, most quickly? What roads, trails or wet spots can lu~ed for holding the fire? Where is the nearest wa· for pumps and pai Is? Are the trai Is good enough to ~ the necessary equipment to the fire? Where are t nearest hardwood stands that can usually be count on to slow down a fire? Which way does the prevaili1 wind blow in relation to the danger spots? Which are wi 11 be most dangerous to your men, camps and equi ment? Where can you go for the quickest additior help and how can you inform your superiors about ti fire? All these and many more problems should be ti constant subject of your thoughts. . It will pay you as a camp foreman to discuss yo plans with your Honorary Fire v\/arden and other k, men, and also with the bush worker himself. Only in tr way can you be sure that your key men know what to c if a fire starts, and only in thi.? way can you impre other men with the importance of moving quickly ar independently to the scene of an outbreak of fire. Do not neglect to inform the nearest station of H Department of Lands and Forests when you have an ou break of fire. The Department will send extra equipmer and experienced help as soon as possible, though it seldom possible for the Department to ·get to the fire c quickly as those working in the camp. If you are a bush worker in a camp rather than a official of the timber company, it is still your duty as citizen to give serious thought to forest protection. Yo should be familiar with the supply of fire fighting equi~ ment and its condition; you should size up the dange spots in your camp area and the best way to fight fire in them. You should be ready to move to the scene o a fire as soon as you know about it, and to take you companions with you. Of course if you have been give, a special job in case of fire, that will be your first concen As a citizen and bushworker it is your privilege t< go to your camp foreman and other key men in the camp and have them show you their fire fighting equipmen· and explain what plans they intend to follow in case o· fire and what your own fire fighting job would be. As, citizen you are part owner of the forest. Thousands o· other citizens in the Province are also part owners of thE forest in which you are working but onil' you are actual I) present to prefect the interests of them all. BUNDLE YARDING J. C. McLEOD RETIRES John Charles "Charlie" McLeod, well-known to the Timber Industry in Northwestern Ontario, had the honour of being the first employee of the Port Arthur Woods Division, Abitibi Power & Paper Company Limited, to retire with an annuity provided by the Abitibi Retirement Income Plan. Charlie started out in 1917 with the Provincial Paper Woods Department and became Provincial's Woods Superintendent. When Abitibi took over the Provincial operations. Charlie was made Marine Transportation Superintendent, the position he held when poor health forced his retirement this year. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU, CHARLIE! The latest method of yarding at Stevens and Caramat is a combined yarding and loading system. The wood, as for a manual cut, is piled in 8 ft. lengths on cross skids (to keep it clear of the ground). No strip roads have to be cleared. A conventional highlead yarder then yards it in to the landing by means of two chokers, one around each end of the bundle. When the bundle arrives at the landing, it is picked up into the air and dropped on the back of a waiting truck, and the chokers are unhooked and return for another bundle. it takes approximately fifteen minutes to yard and load a truck load.-"Marathon Courier." �MAY 1950 PAGE 5 LOG BOOK what's your rope problem ?

HARNDEN The spruce budworm infestation, after persisting for a variable number of years in parts of the Thunder Bay area, began to decline in 1948 and this process continued in 1949. During the early larval period of the insects, the infestation dropped sharply to a very low level. Larvel counts were made at four points in the eastern portion of the infestation shortly after the budworm began feeding in the spring and a second series of counts was taken when the larvae were almost fully developed. These showed a marked reduction in the larval population (see Table l).

Heavy infestation persisted in four areas from Disraili Lake eastward to the vicinity of Kam, and on the Sibley and Black Bay peninsulas where approximately 85 percent defoliation of the current year's growth of balsam fir occurrec (see Figure 1). Moderate mortality of balsam fir as a result of defoliation by the spruce budworm was noted in the Chief Bay area west of Lake Nipigon in 1945. Mortality was heavy in that area in 1946 and by 1948 a large percentage of the balsam fir had died from Castle Lake south to Black Sturgeon Bay and west to Obonga Lake. Mortality increased greatly south and east of Lake . Nipigon in 1949 (see Figure 2). High fire hazard has developed in recent years in many parts of Ontario where the spruce budworm has killed extensive stands of balsam fir. The hazard varies from district to district depending upon the balsam fir content of stands and upon the percentage of dead anc windthrown trees. Judging from a number of large fires in recent years the fire hazard reaches an extremely high level when windfall occurs and may remair. high for at least ten years. The Gogama fire north of Sudbury in 1941 and the Mississagi fire east of Sault1 Ste. Marie both occurred approximately ten years after balsam fir windfall became severe. Sample plots established in 1943 and 1944 in the Lake Nipigon area have provided data on the breaking up of balsam fir stands as a result of severe defoliation by the spruce budworm. Considerable windfal'I occurred in several of these plots in 1948. Severe windstorms ir October, 1949, caused additional windfall (see Table ; TABLE 2 Timing of Severe Defoliation and Deterioration of Balsam Fir in Five Sample Plots in the Lake Nipigon Area Area Figure l (The .Area Within Wbich Hea'f)' lnteatat1on Occurred in 1948 Elltendecl trca Carden I.alee in the Port Arthur D1atr1ct Eaat to Paa· wachuan I.eke 1D the Geralclton D1atrict and rrom tb6 Areaa Hatcbecl OD the AbOTe Map North to Ogok1 I.eke) Legend Hea'f)' lnteatation in 1949 ........ ~ First year significant mortality (20% to First Year considerable broken tops and some windthrown trees Per cent mortality 49%) First year severe mortality (50% to 100%) 1949 Chief Bay 1939* 1944 1946 1948 100 Kaiashk Bay 1939* 1945 1947 1948 99 Obonga Lake 1942 1946 1947 i949 94 MacDiarmid 1944 1947 1949 Barbara Lake 1944 1947 1949 * Estimated Areas Within Which Hea-.y Spruce Budwol'III Inteatat1on Occurred in 1949 Determined b7 Growicl and Aerial SUrnya First year severe defoliation - 62 59 from observations of affected stands since 1943. If it may be assumed that fire hazard is at it: maximum after windfall becomes severe, the hazard in the area immediately west of Lake Nipigon was approaching that maximum in 1949. The hazard increase. also east of Lake Nipigon, particularly in the vicinity o Barbara and Jean Lakes. The f~rest protection division of the Department of Lands and Forests uses balsam fir mortality maps prepared by the insect rangers to compile fire hazard maps. This phase of forest insect survey work wi II be carried out more intensively in Northern Ontario in 1950 to provide detailed information on fire hazard resulting from forest insect infestations. �MAY 1950 LOG BOOK PAGE 7 INSECT SAMPLES GREAT ASSISTANCE TO FOREST INSECT LABORATORY The following insects were collected and Field Records taken in the Port Arthur District in 1949.

Woodlands Section Meeting in Montreal) By A. F. BUELL It has always been one of the goals of the LongLac Pulp and Paper Company and its predecessor to run woodlands operations insofar as possible on a uniform year round basis. The completion of the Terrace Bay bleached sulphate mill, and the inclusion in ~he wood order of jackpine to the extent of 40 per cent of the total softwood, has made it possible to operate through 12 months of the year with only minor and short term ·fluctuations in the labour force. It is not the object of this short paper to describe logging methods in detail or to. dwell on the means b~ which employees are kept profitably occupied in every season. In brief, jackpine cutting and skidding operations start _in May and continue until October. Jackpine hauling starts in June and continues until November. It is possible to haul to water during this period from onethird to one-half of the total wood order, depending on the percentage of spruce in the jackpine stands, and to some degree on the fall weather. Spruce cutting starts as jackpine cutting tapers off in the fall and continues until December with a few cutters carrying on through the winter in each camp. Spruce hauling starts as soon as roads and landings a re ready in December and continues until March . In March spruce cutting again becomes the major activity, to the extent that snow conditions· will allow it, and continues throughout the break up period until the jackpine cutting gets under way in May. By jackpine cutting_is meant -cutting operations in stands predominently jackpine in composition, but which may run up to 25 per cent spruce by volume. Likewise a spruce cut may contain a small proportion of jackpine. Naturally, as jackpine and jackpine - spruce stands are found on sandy areas, they lend themselve!I to summer truck operations using bulldozed roads. Stands predominating in spruce are generally in swampy areas which must be logged during the winter. River driving and lake rafting operations are carried out from May until November. Other activities such as road and camp construction, equipment maintenance, and fire hazard removal are scheduled, where possible, to be carried out at those times in the operating year when it is most difficult to keep the labor force economically employed in the direct p~oduction and delivery of wood. . It is self evident that a prerequisite to carrying c continuous all season operations is a system of all-se son access roads. Two years of year round operating on a substanti scope have pointed out several distinct advantages c the side of year round rather than seasonal operatic These are listed below. 1. Staff and Labour When camp staff, cutters, haulers, handyme1 blacksmiths, mechanics, machine operators, etceter. are assured of year round employment they acquire sense of security and attachment to the employer whic makes for better relations and, indirectly, higher pre duction and cheaper wood. The security which goes with year round emplo~ ment attra.cts in general a more stable type of employe• A married man, unless he has other employment in th off seasons, cannot keep a family on seasonal woods err ployment. With all-season roads to the camps it is nc difficult for a man to work in the woods and at th same time to establish a home in a nearby village. Ther is a noticeable increase in the number of married me from settlements within the limits working in the bus, as all-season operating develops. It should not be necessary to enlarge further on th advantages of all-season operating insofar as its effec on labour is concerned. They are simply the advantage which go with steady work, security, opportunities fo home life and increased loyalty to the employer. The type of employee drawn to the woods by th, attractions of all-season operating is the type requirec if our branch of the industry is to successfully modern ize its methods. Good forest management, includinf silviculture mechanization and protection, depend: largely on the attitude of the man who handles the axe saw or the wrench. 2. Equipment and Horses It is far more economical to operate all year wit~ a given capital outlay in mechanical equipment, camp~ and horses, than half the year with twice the capital outlay. There is no need of enlarging on this point for an) one familiar with the economics of wood production. (Continued on Page 9) Multiple belts in matched sets and Fractional Horse Power. P. L. P.

Fire Protection There has always been widespread opinion that summer operations constitute a fire hazard. This is undoubtedly true but experience to date has indicated that, _providing proper education is carried on and other safeguards established, the advantages of summer operating can outweigh the disadvantages. The network of allseason roads, both access and haul roads, which are essent;al to summer operating increase the accessibility of the areas being operated, and thereby are an important factor in both detection and suppression. As pointed out in connection with the effect of ye~r round operating on labour we are dealing with men who have a different attitude from that which is so evident on an operation employing transient labour. They are far less likely to be careless with fire as it is one of the few menaces to the steady employment which means so much to them. Where there are summer operations the camp crews are organized into fire gangs, each under a competent fire boss. This organization is ready to go into action as soon as a fire is discovered . Therefore the time lost in rounding up fire fighters and organizing them into effective fire crews is eliminated where summer operations are carried on. 4. 6. General If conditions make it feasible wood may be delivered directly to the mill in the same summer in which it is cut, thereby reducing carrying charges. No attempt has been made in the foregoing to evaluate in dollars and cents the advaQtages of year round as against seasonal operating. This will vary so sharply as between limits with different topography, weather conditions, labour supply and wood species requirements. that a cost comparison would be of little value. It is quite evident, however, that where circumstances wi 11 allow it year round operation will be, in the long run, more economical than the seasonal method. IN THE DAZE OF PAUL BUNYAN-KING OF THE LUMBERJACKS (TM Reg. Pat. Office \ Sylviculture Permanent employees can be trained to cut and skid in such a manner as to damage as little as possible of the advance growth . This wi II result in lower planting costs. With permanent or semi-permanent all-season transportation systems which are a part of year round operations, cutting methods which result in maximum utilization and bring about improved regeneration of the best species can be employed. This is less practical under the former system of operating. It is quite evident that planting is the only solution to some of our regeneration problems. The probable results of planting with seasonal transient labour could not be compared to the results which could be expected from permanent trained labour. S. Dial 57345 Operations Providing the topography and soil will allow it summer hauling is cheaper than winter hauling . Although road construction is expensive it is more than offset by cheaper road maintenance, loading, ice landing prepara tion and maintenance, and unloading costs. Where wood can be both cut and hauled before winter the cost of firewood and camp expenses is substantially reduced. . - ,,. ~ ,._ __,,,__ ~ - ~ ~ ~ e-:. -.,,'' • ~<-~> ~~~ C..,;;:.t 1948 Clyde G.

Dear Pep: I have just received your letter of March 3rd in which you state that the Awards Committee have favourably considered m8 for the Ellwood Wi Ison Award for 1949. Needless ·to say, I feel greatly honoured, but on the other hand, I also feel a certain embarrassment in being singled out from this great Marathon team. Any success that we have had is due entirely to teamwork in our organization. I shall not name any of our staff, because I would have to name them all. In accepting this award, which I do very gratefully, I do so in the name of the Marathon team. Your very truly, MARATHON PAPER MILLS OF CANADA LIMITED, CANADIAN SOCIETY OF FOREST ENGINEERS NEWS The Northwestern Ontario Section, Canadian Society of Forest Engineers have held three meetings ~o far th;s year. The meetings were held January 27th, February 17th and March l 0th. At the March meeting Mr. N. W . Harrison, Dis trict Representative for the Thunder Bay Area, Department of Agriculture, was the guest speaker and delivered a very instructive and interesting address about the agricultural industry at the Lakehead. Mr. Harrison pointed out that there are 2,800 farms between Upsala to the West and Nipigon to the East. Principal farm products were milk, eggs, poultry potaroes and other vegetables. Mr. Harrison stated that a soil survey of the Thunder Bay District showed it to have the greatest variation of soil conditions of any place in Ontario. In concluding his address, Mr. Harrison dealt briefly with the local woodlot situation and advised that in this area woodlot operation must harmonize with farming if it is going to be successful and enjoy its fullest potential.

N. JOHNSTON Division of Research, Ontario Department of Lands and Forests The main issue in silvicultural practice, ~ot only in the Lakehead area, but also throughout Ontario and the greater part of Canada, is forest regeneration, or, the re-establishment of commercially valuable forests by natural seeding following logging or fire. or various combinations of both. Some regeneration effort is concerned with the reestablishment of a forest by planting. Because of it~ relatively high initial cost, however, tree planting probably will be for a considerable time, used only on submarginal agricultural lands or the small area of favorable planting locations that can be found in the forest. Present planting methods are very largely dependent on the use of agricultural implements, the spade, the plough, and the cabbage planter and are, therefore, tied to conditions which will permit the successful operation of such equipment. Unfortunately most forest soi Is, either by inherent physical character or because of the terra:n and tree growth, are not usually "tillable." Due to a variety of factors, and the existence of agricultural procedures and equipment which could bt. readily adapted, the tree planting phase of forest regeneration is at present more thoroughly understood and has been more widely exploited than any other regeneration techn:que, although it has long been recognized that planting can be applied to only a small proportion of the forest area of the Province. Regeneration by seed under forest conditions is unfortunately a problem which forest users must accept as the= r own and solve by their own largely unaided efforts. Unlike planting, the possibilities of adapting equipment or techniques are strictly limited. Unfortunately, too, it seems that any si lvicultural practice which wi II provide a better chance for the establishment of a new forest crop, will eventually require additional effort and added cost, over and above present wood's operating practice . Though less costly than planting regeneration by seed will still cost something; an unpalatable fact which wood users must be prepared to accept. The challenge tC' industry here is to introduce new techniques which wi 11 permit "silvicultural logging" with a minimum of additional cost. • .As we all know, but sometimes overlook, it is cost which makes regeneration a problem. It has often been stated rather loosely that "we do not know how to se • cure regeneration." This, however, is not strictly true. In some favourable areas only intelligent handling is required and in most others, a forest can be restored if cost and time are not considered. A good forest at an:., price does not solve the regeneration problem. What is required are techniques which will produce a good fores1 at a price our present standard of living and price structure can afford to pay. It is perhaps obvious to the operator at least, that government regulations which cripple industry are unwise, even though they may result in a better forest. L is equally true, though perhaps not so obvious, that the logger who put wood on the jack-ladder at the lowest unit cost during the first cut is not necessarily the best logger. The best logger cuts at a profit so that the highest possible wood values continue to reach the same jackladder year after year. Successful silviculture is related to cost and ir, practice is dependent upon increased efficiency through the whole cycle of regeneration, protection, harvesting, and wood processing. So long, therefore, as industry i: concerned with harvesting and processing and Govern ment with regeneratiqn and protection, the best inter ests of both require the utmost in co-operation and understanding looking to a more efficient overall operation. Under the existing pattern of co-operation between industry and government in Ontario, logging or tree crop harvesting appears to be the most obvious point of mutual technical interest. (It seems logical, therefore . not only in the Lakehead region but throughout th('whole Province.) , · In organizing the Provincial regeneration program, the Department of Lands and Forests has divided its efforts into two general fields; the study of tree seeds and the study of tree seed beds. Seed studies are at present very largely confined to white spruce and red and white pine outside of the Lakehead area and general principles may be applied cautiously to the seeds of many othe,· forest trees and therefore to the other species in the Lakehead region. Some observations on the behaviour of jack pine seeds and cones have also been undertaken. A great deal of preliminary seed investigation has been done in the laboratory because it can be done under controlled conditions and has, therefore, no particular local flavor. �MAY 1950 LOG BOOK Seed bed studies by contrast are involved with spe cific localities. The Department has carried out a great deal of this type of regeneration study in the Lakehead region during the past three years. Re_sults of this work have been presented in the Division's reports numbers 14, 17 and 19. If details are required, they may be found in these publications. All that can be done here is to indicate· the organization, kind and amount of work performed. It has been said that the initiation of all research can be summed up in three words, "oh", an exclamation of surprise; "my'', an indication of wonder; "why", an indication of curiosity. But no matter how it may be initiated, a research program, once underway, almost invariably follows a fairly uniform patern. There is, first, a primary stage in which natura' phenomena are observed, a second in which theories are evolved in explanation of the _phenomena; a third ir which experiments are set up to test theories and a fourth in which experimental results are recorded and related. It is well to remember these four steps and to realiZf that they are all necessary. Failure to appreciate ·the im • portance of experimental testing, was very largely re sponsible for the absurdities of so-called science in me dieval times. Recognition of the importance of experi mental testing has probably been the most important single factor responsible for the present practical value of research . Seed bed research not only in the Department bu: throughout Canada and the United States, is still largely in the initial stages of observing phenomena and evolving theories. Hence the popularity of so-called "re generation surveys." A great deal more "observing" o, "surveying" is required. For example, the Departmental GENERAL MOTORS PAGE 13 reports listed above are mainly concerned with a detailed record of findings or observations in the forests of the Lakehead region and conclusions drawn from them. The conclusions or findings of a regeneration survev are sometimes treated as established facts. This is a da'nger• ous practice. It is true that such conclusions, may by some happy chance, be factual. But because of the wide. variety of natural conditions in the Forest, it is very dif. ficult to be certain that all the essential facts are known. The results of regeneration, or any biological surveys,, are likely to be influenced by the ideas of the writer. The proper use of regeneration survey data is as a basis for the design of experimental tests. , Proof of regeneration survey observations and conclusions is usually secured through the establishment of permanent sample lots, and in the Department's Lakehead regeneration program, the establishment of plots. of this kind is now going forward. Since logging is required to implement some of the tests, many propf pl(?tS are being established in co-operation with industry. In due course, we believe facts will emerge! In brief, this is the outline of the Department's three years of regeneration research in the Lakehead reg:on. As stated, it does not appear as a very great acccmpl ishment for the expenditure of three years' time and a sum of approximately $40,000. Some indication of the extent of th,e program may be provided, however, by a statement of the number of survey plots examined. In considering the bare total of plots as a means of assessing the effort involved, it is well to remember that each and every plot must be located, often in very difficult country, measured by approved survey methods, defined by taut string boundaries, examined on hands and (Continued on Page 16) TWO CYCLE DIESEL ENGINES SS H.P.

Cellulose has gained a very important position in our present way of living. Although it is found in most plants, wood is the most economical source for a large portion of eel lulose required for manufacture of th( many grades of paper, boards and cellulose derivatives such as rayons, eel lophane and plastics. In the manufacture of this great diversity of products, the first step is to reduce the wood to a pulp. This is accomplished either mechanically, chemically or a combination of the two processes. There are a number of chemical procedures that can be used, but the characteristics of the pulp produced and costs vary considerably. Therefore, the economy and end use of the pulp determines the process employed. The kraft pulping process falls under the classification alkaline pulping utilizing a combination of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide, as the active pulping agent. The pulp produced is brown in color, but has high strength qualities which make it particularly suitable for making strong wrapping papers, and variow= types of boxboards. In these materials the dark color is not objectionable, however, where lighter colors are required the pulp can be economically bleached withou · affecting the strength appreciably. The process is also gaining favour in that it has been used to produce pulps from practically all the commercial wood species, either on full plant scale or in laboratories. It is particularl~suited to the manufacture of high grade pulps from the wood species found in North Western Ontario. In the limited space available, it is impossible t , go into any detail of the p_rocess and equipment, there fore, only a very general description of the method an( equipment will be given. The wood entering the mill is all cut to approximately four foot lengths and barked in drum barkers. The clean wood is chipped in multiple knife chippers. Uniformity in size of chips is important to good cooking, therefore, the chips are screened. The oversize chips pass through a rechipper and are returned to the screen. Depending upon the quality of pulp being made the fines may or may not be screened out. As the fines usually carry a fair percentage of dust and di rt, they are screened out where high quality clean pulps are desired. The screened chips are stored in bins until required to fill the digesters. In most recent installations, the d;gesters are tall cylindrical vessels, nine to eleven feet in diameter, and about forty feet high with a cone shaped bottom. Each digester will produce from seven to ten tons of pulp per cook. When the digester is ful I of chips, measured quantities of black and white liquors are added. The diqester is then closed and heating with steam is started. The heating may be done directly by blowing the steam in at the bottom or by a forced circulation of the liquor from the bottom of the digester through steam heated heat exchangers back to the top of the digester. Heating is continued while gas and vapors are relieved from the top of the digester, unti I a pressure of approximately 110 pounds per square inch is obtained with a corresponding temperature of 340 degrees F is reached and then held at this temperature and pressure until the cooking is complete. The quantity of liquors, the rate of heating and cooking time are all governed by the quality of pulp being made. When the cooking is completed, a valve at the bottom of the digester is opened and the contents blown 1 out into the blow tank. The cooking softens the wood to such an extent that during blowing the wood breaks up into pulp. The thick slurry of pulp is diluted with black liquor and pumped to the pulp washers. The washing is usually done on rotary drum type washers in two or more stages. In the final stage, hot water is used and the recovered water containing some of the spent chemicals and dissolved portion of the wood is known as weak black liquor. This weak liquor is used to wash the pulp in the preceding stage, thus as the pulp is being washed a strong black liquor is being formed. The liquor from the first working stage is the black liquor used when filling the digester and dilution at the blow tank. The s~rplus black liquor is concentrated in mult:ple effect evaporators unti I a solution of about 50% solids is obtained. This· is further concentrated in cas .. cade evqporators and mixed with saltcake and burned in the recovery furnace. The saltcake is added to make up the unavoidable losses of soda in the system. By burning the concentrated black liquor and saltcake under carefully controlled conditions, a molten ash of sodium carbonate and sodium sulfide is produced. The hot combustion gases are passed through a specially designed steam boiler producing in many mills practically all the steam required for the pulp mi 11. The hot ash is dissolved in water, clarified and treated with lime. The lime converts the sodium car(Continued on Afeclu»,,'16 '°'1, Page 1 6) MOJUJ CCOH,OIHkat Pulpw.ooJ P11,oc/,uduu,, . . .

Observation on a co~ple of forest fires in recent years showed hose on a fire having to take unnecessarily rough treatment. Dragged through the bu_sh by fire fighters and even dragged behind a truck on the highway from one position to another during a fire, the hose took quite a beating and showed the necessity for a light portable' hose winder. . The need for such equipment and the basic idea of construction was suggested by Ken Switzer- ·to two of his co workers with the LongLac Pulp and Paper '. Company, Norm Skinner; Y~rd Foreman at Longlac and one of his men, Bruce· Sloan. . These men built a working model in the Company's Longlac Shop and this model proved very satisfactory when tested: • · The Company made the model available to Watson Jack and Co. Ltd., Manufacturers of fire fighting equip., ment, for production and sale to fire protective organj- . zations The model was modified and improved by Watson ·. • Jack and Co. Ltd., who now have on sale an improved lightweight Portable Hose Winder for winding 1½'' un- • lined linen Forestry Hose, either wet or dry, l 00-foot ' lengths coupled. Other features are adjustable cranking handles, instantly detachable spindle for removing hose after winding,. spri,:ag rubber-covered .tension rollers for flattening hose, c~nvas .chest protector and adjustable . shoulder straps~ weight 17 pounds.

STEVENS Suppose you have a certain stand of timber ~nder your management which is 5.0 years old ..When should it be cut? How many cords per acre will it then yield? What size timber w"ill you have then? How long after it is mature can the stand be left before cutting without excessive loss from rot? The answers to these and other quetions can be found in appropriate yield tables if these are available. To obtain these tables growth data are required. This article will briefly deal with one project of this nature which is being carried on in the Thunder Bay District. The rate of growth' of a stand is, of course, independent of which company's limit it happens to be on. It is _mainly dependent on the site on which it stands, the latitude and the climate. With this in mind Mr. Bedell of the Dominion Forest Service, during ~ visit to this district in 1947, suggested that the companies of the Thunder Bay District combine their work on ·growth- study. Instead of each company obtaining yield figures for their respective limits, a common set of yield data could be obtained for a forest region, applicable to all limits in that region. In this way much duplicate work could be avoided, the work would be much cheaper for each company, and probably .better data obtained. .. During 1947 several meetings were arranged be1 tween seven interested pulp and paper companies of this District. It was eventually decided to request the • Dominion Forest Service to conduct some experimental . growth study work in this area. They have evolved an improved m~thod for predicting yield but which has not yet been applied to large pulpwood tracts such as exist in this district: Therefore, it was thought that it was an excellent opportunity for mutual aid between the Thunder Bay companies and the Dominion Forest Service. This was agreed. to and a start was made last' ~~u.mmer. • : ,.,·· _ Briefly, the tec~nique used is to establish' peri'na_rlent sample plots in several different age classes in each important cover type, :and for various -sites. The stems· on each plot are measured along with a w~~ltH of other _pertinent data. After at least · fi.ve ,years, and better ten years, the plots are re.:measured ·to establish changes in density arid composition. These ~data car, then be plotted and yield curves thus.obtained for each c;:over type on each important site and for. a fixed den• sit_y. ~f the stands on a limit are similarly dassified, t~,s yield data can be applied to determine rotation age_ yield at maturity, etc. . The most important factor affecting growth is site, which can be roughly defined as the inherent abil!ty of an area to pr6du_ce. Many differe.n t site classif~ ,cations have been used but the Dominion Forest Service is using a system in this growth study work that they have adapted from one developed by Mr. G. A. Hills of the Ontario Dept. of Lands and Forests. This classification gives promise of being one of the best in existence and has the advantage that sites can be recognized. from aerial photos. It is hoped that a by-product of this growth study co-operative effort will be the training of company men in the knowledge of soils essential to accurate site classification.The present basis of co-operation between the companies and the Dominion Forest Service is that· the latter provide the staff, establish ·the plots, do the office work and publi.sh the final results. The.companies agree to protect the plots established for at least five years, to supply the necesary maps and aerial photos, to provide transportation to the parties when required, and to loan equipment if necessary. Last summer the companies _also absorbed some of the meal cost. The companies have agreed to share their costs among themselves on a limit area basis. The Dominion Forest Service hope by the end of this summer to have established enough plots, along with the· use of some plots established by the companies, to draw fairly accurate yield curves f9r the ·mo~t important types on the most common sites in what i'S. known ·as Forest Region 8-9; which ext~nds along the North Shore of Lake Superior from Savanne to near White 'River. They have not committed themselves to do further work in any of the other regions, but it is hoped that they will at least be able to dq enough work to show the relative growth rates between the region~, in this district. The results will of course be available· to everyone, but they will particularly benefit the companies in the Thunder Bay Disric_t. -Eyen if l'.\O fur_ther . work on this project -is done by the Dominion Fore~t . Service after this year, the system of srte classification and the general technique used will be·very usefol if the companies exter:id this work themselves. F.urthermore, the project has again emphasized the -value ·of cooperative effort" betw._e en timber. oper.ators: This Booklet is· printed ~n 11Thrift-Coat Ena~~I" produced at the Provincial" Paper Limited, Port Arthur Mill, Ontario, O'.Ut of wood produced in Northwestern Ontario and printed by the Consolidated Press, 137 South May Street, Fort William, Ontario. . .

LUDIVIG CYR THIRD IN CANADIAN BUCKSAWING CHAMPIONSHIP • Dominique Chenard, Quebec North Shore Paper Company, is the new Canadian Bucksaw Champfon. winning with a total of 8 of the possible 9 points in the thr_ee-day Buck-Sawing Contest at the Sportsmen's Show in Montreal on March 5th. 6th and 7th, 1950. ,· Champions from six Eastern companies competed Competitors cut once each afternoon and twice each evening; the average_time was computed each n!ght for the three cuts. and winner was allowed three points. Chenard's ·average time for the 10" spruce log was 8.7 seconds and his best single cut was 7.2 seconds. All of the men who took part in ttie Contest were the finest ·examples of the best type of men found in our pulpwood operations to-day. They had a great com. petitive spirit but, win o.r lose, were good sports. They were fine representatives of the Woods Industry at such a public event as the Sportsmen's Show. , Ludivig Cyr, who won the Northwestern Ontario Championship at the Fort William Winter Carnlval 1949 and finished 5th at the Sportmen's Show that year, competed thi's year as the representative of the Ontario Paper Company, Limited and finished 3rd.
