imminent know Correctional Silviculturist picks tree Sites NANAIMO BC forester who uses such terms as biogeoclimatic systems and biotic provinces is at work picking out the best sites in British Columbia to grow trees Ed Packee who calls himself silviculturist and earned his PhD at University of Minnesota this spring is implementing new timberlands classification system to help MacMilIan Bloe del MB the lumber company manage scientifically the coastal softwood forests of BC He has spent six years devel oping and refining an oper ational system for identifying the growing sites most suited to different tree species The pioneerin work was done by Dr Vla imir Kra jina University of British Co lumbia botanist who developed the system Dr Packee began his project by dividing coastal BC into four basic biotic provinces Vancouver Island the North Coast Mainland the South Coast Mainland and the Queen Charlotte Islands CHARACTERISTICS SIMILAR biotic province Dr Packcc said is unit of landscape that has similar climate historical geology and plant and animal communities Then took the four prov inces and divided them into vegetation zones or biogcocli matic subzoncs using the tree species or combinations of tree species that occur most com monly in the old growth stan ds he said One end product in bio gcoclimatic classification sys tem is accurate species alloca tionepairing the site with the individual tree species or com bination of species most suited to it ecologically and economic ally Dr Packcc pointed out that reforestlng harvested area with the same Species that was logged off may not always be the best course For instance crop of low quality hemlock that has tem porarily invaded prime Douglas fir site should be replaced by Douglas fir which will grow better and faster on thesitc SEEK BEST FIBRES In other circumstances we lhill SOTIIC Irons Il growing Douglas fir wili pro duce higher yields of hemlock Natural succession may take 800 900 or 1000 years to attain this he said In habitat typ ing Im keying the sites to the species that could ultimately provide the best fibre ieldnot necessarily the tim species that at present oc cupies the site The vegetation zones give us the big picture and tell us in general way that we shouldnt be planting some species in areas where others are more likely to thrive he said The silviculturist said that managing the forest resource for better timber yields with the aid of biogeoclimatic zoning and other scientific techniques also has important implications for energy conservation STORES SOLAR ENERGY The forest is an important storage centre for solar energy he said One acre of forest can annually capture so lar energy equivalent to the energy stored in 167 tons of coal or 310 gallons of gasoline As building product wood requires less energy for can version than many other mate rials and is much better in sulator from heat and cold The best timber yield should cap ture for practical purposes the most solar energy This is very important in an era when non renewablc energy sources are being depleted Grant Ainscough MBS chief forester described Mr Packees system as an impor tant forest management tool that will also provide benefits in wildlife as well as forest management It will be used by MB forest ers to grow better forests to plant the best trees on sites where they will thrive to the op timum degree and aid us in sc lecling the crop trees to be left when we are spacing and thinn ing trees said Mr Ainscough The chief forester added that Mr Packecs use of the bio gcoclimatic classification sys tcm has attracted the interest of foresters biologists resear ch centres universities and government agencies in the United States and Europe as well as in Canada Prisoner transcribes braille book version BRANTFOHI om CP blind woman in Brantford soon will receive braille ver sion of book of songs traIr scribed by man who is serving time in jail It has been year since Clark Haskill 35 of Brighton om was sent to Millbrook max imum security prison for rob bery Thats where he devel oped an interest in braille tran scription Haskill says he was inspired by picture in newspaper of blind girl As result he reg istered in course on braille being offered at the Kingston arca prison After nInc months at Mil lbrook llaskill licensed mc chanic and pressman requested transfer to Burtch Centre minimunrsecurity institution South of Brantford asked for the transfer be cause it was near the Ross Mzicdonald School formerly the Ontario School for thc Blindl he said The transfer was approved llaskill now spends up to seven hours day transcribing written words into braille llis lntcst achievements in clude the transcription of his tory of the province for the Ca nadian National Institute for the Blind and set of primary education books for blind children Iluskill now is awaiting the results of volunteer trans cribcrs examination he recen tly wrote He is also awaiting approval to tutor blind child in hospital The prisoner has been given permission to start braille transcription course at Burlch for other prisoners in their spurctimc Haskill says that when his sentence has been servedmin about six monthsrhc plans to live in Braintford and continue the transcription as parttime venture Ive been asked by other prisoners how much make for transcribing into braille he says But cant put 11 value on it its just personal satisfaction Some deaths baffle coroners VANCOUVER CIAn ap parently healthy man in his 30s is found dead in his home The only physical Sign is congestion in the lungs Toxicological tests turn up no Sign of barbiturates heroin alcohol or amphelzr mines Did he die natural death or was he the victim of some mys tcrious poison Local chemists say there are no undetectable poisons but some may go undetected if the toxicologist lacks the clues to direct his investigation ther causes of death can baffle coroner Pathologist Rodney Bram mall says there are many unex plaincd natural deaths For example person might be an undiagnosed diabetic The pancreas the gland which produces insulin might appear normal at autopsy and it would be difficult to establish the blood sugar level before death The electrical signals that keep the heart firing regularly can malfunction These cardiac arrhythmias can kill and if there is no record of heart trouble can stump the patholo gist CRIB DEATHS BAFFIJNG Sudden infant death syn drome SIDS is given as the cause of death in many ap parently healthy babies found dead in their cribs SIDS which kills without trace may be due to failure of the breathing reflex Alcoholics can die not only of alcoholic intoxication but also of alcohol withdrawal syn drome Blood alcohol levels are low and there are no other clues beyond history of alcoholism Poison is not the only possi bility in death where foul play is suspected Suffocation can leave the victim with no more than some congestion in the lungs ti usual occurrence even in natural deaths Mr Brammzill said that in perhaps one or two per cent of cases it is not possible to assign cause of death with certainty although the cause is rarely listed as unknown because there is desire to come up with something Relatives dont like people dying without an explanation he said PEST POISON LETIIAL Mike Vince toxicologist at New Westminster hospital said one type of pest poison which he did not name con tains toxin which irreversibly blocks one of the bodys meta bolic cycles causing nausea anxiety convulsions and heart failure in few hours The sub stance is broken down into mildly elevated levels of mate rials naturally present New Westminster Coroner Doug Jack says the key is good police work Its question of the initial

wild west days Shackles cant hold unusual prisoner LOUISVILLE Ky AP dont know how he does it but he does it deputy Ray Bible says of prisoner who sheds locked shackles like profes sional magician Bible deputy warden of the Jefferson County detention cen tre was describing John Lut trell prisoner awaiting trial on two robbery counts Hes in maximum security now Bible said Thursday When Luttrell was taken to police court for hearing this week his legs were shackled because of his reputation as an escape artist He fled jail twice earlier this year The guards put him in hold ing cell and left for short while When they came back the shackles were in his pocket US criticism By SINCLAIR STEVENS MI YorkSimcoe TlIc shrill comments last week attributed to Mel Hurlig founding member and former chairman of the Committee for an Independent Canada may only serve to hasten the demise of that organization Speaking before meeting of committee members Mr Ilur tig took issue with certain statistics on direct us foreign investment in Canada which had earlier been quoted by US ambassador Thomas Enders He then referred to Mr Endcrs as downright liar Such an offensive remark can only un dermine good and proper relations between Canada and the United States The Committee for an In dependent Canada initially cf fectively drew Canadas at tention to the fact that high ratio of our industry was owned by foreigners especially Americans Their arguments were reasoned and made con tribution to the process of for mulating suitable Canadian stdnce in relation to such in vest ment Name calling such as Mr Hurtig has now indulged in contributes nothing to this dialogue It is important that we keep proper persepective on this matter BEST CUSTOMERS Our two countries are unique among world nations We share the bulk of rich continent As such we have become our own best customers Our common heritage springs from the cultures of Western Europe Our populations have migrated so that today there are more Americans of Canadian descent living in the US than there are Canadians in Canada Here in Canada we have millions of residents who trace their roots to the United States We are each others favorite foreign vacation land For eight generations Canada and the US have been at peace with each other Three times within 60 years we have fought together against common enemies Each of us cherish our democratic traditions and our freedoms Our prosperities have been based on free market place which has respon ded to individual initiatives Together both our countries account for 25 per cent of the worlds industrial output an amount greater than the com bined output of the 20 nations in Western Europe Currently in Canada cloak of suspicion has been thrown over this relationship An in sular attitude has arisen fostered often by those who seek power in the name of the State or who wish rotection of their own selfis interests Others are sincere in their nationalistic feelings Mr Hur tigs outburst last week at tacking the US Ambassador to Canada is shocking example of the way in which mistrust can be nourished by extremist comments While we have had irritations before this time they seem to be bit deeper policy of aggravation is re lacing one of cooperation Suc trend if it continues will be mutally destructive to the wellbeing of both Canadians and Americans Canadas future is an in temational future To lesser extent perhaps so is that of the United States This is demon strated in our relative export positions Canadian exports are over 50 per cent of our produc tion compared to less than 15 per cent in theUS 1n meeting the challenges of tomorrow we in North America have more to gain working to ether than we do workIng odds with each other The shackles were put back on and Luttrell was taken be fore judge to have his trial date set But as he left the cour troom guards noticed he was walking normallythe shackles were off again WERE TOO TIGHT told you they were too tight Luttrell said taking the shackles out of his pocket This happened when he was in court Bible said We sear ched him but didnt find anything Bible doesnt know how Lut trell does it but guessed he had homemade handcuff key or paper clip If they know what they are doing people can get out of these with paper clip Bible said that the next time Luttrell is taken out of the de tention centre the US mar shals office has agreed to send federal officers to escort him Luttrells first escape this year ended when he was recap tured day later The second time he turned himself in be cause he had broken an ankle while escaping Professor iS also activist MONTREAL CP Donat Taddeo is quiet settleddown professor of Greek Latin and ancient history But the 30yearold scholar is also political activist champion of school children of Italian descent who are being required against their will or the will of their parents to at tend French schools Mr Taddeo secondgener ation ItalianCanadian helped grganize the

studying the feasibility of court action to test the validity of lan gua eproficiency tests that chil ren whose mother tongue is not English must take in or der to attend English schools Mr Taddeo first became in volved in other peoples causes in 1973 when he was elected to the litmember Montreal Catho lic School Commission Since then he has been caught up in whirlwind of ac tivit at the same time work ing uIltime as administrative assistant to the dean of Loyola now the Loyola campus of Con cordia University He grins when asked why childless bachelor is so inter ested in school affairs He ex plains it was deep interest in the ancient litical theory he studied in Ca ifornia
