THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1929 PAGE FIVE FORESTRY SERVICE ESTABLISH RECORD 'The Protection of Canada's : Vast Forest Re- serves "By HON. WM. FINLAYSON (Minister of Lands and Forests). Ottawa--The value of Ontario's forests and dangers of forest fires have been recently before the public possibly more than usual. The diffi- culties and problems in connection with the protection 6f Ontario's for- cst wealth are only partially known to the public. Forest fire has been for many years a direct menace to the' supply of raw material for the lumber and pulp and paper industries within the province. To protect that supply of raw material a great or- ganization has been created and an integral part of the organization is the provincial air service. . It is approximately 100 years since the first timber sale by the crown in this province was made. Over the in- tervening years we have gained ex- perience by which we can profit. The mistakes of the past and the lessons learned from those mistakes will have their effect, and in the course of time the benefits of our experience will ie come apparent. In his report on the Canadas to King William 1V, Jos. Bouchette, sur- veyor-general at that time, painted a glowing picture of the extent of our forest wealth and said in part: "From the vastness of Canadian forests tim- ber may be considered an almost ex- haustless fund of the colonial export trade." The surveyor-general, it must be confessed, was not alone in his opinion that our timber resources were inexhaustible, and for many many years subsequent to the day Upper Canada assumed control of her ' timber and its administration, long after Bouchette's time, the same opinion prevailed, and this. is the source of the greatest problem we have to face in connection with the perpetuation of our forest products industries to-day.

Canadian Pacific i Miss Marion Barbara Carstairs-- Betty Carstairs--the most famous lady driver of fast motorboats. in the world, is at Detroit, with her latest boat, Estelle 1V., making her second attempt to lift the Harmsworth cup, which is the em- blem of the motorboat speed cham- pionship of the world, Miss Car- stairs, who owns and drives her own boats, tried to take the cup from Gar Wood's Miss America VIL last year at Detroit, but her boat turned over, threw her and her mechanic right through the side of the boat, and sank. Un- daunted by the accident--Miss Carstairs was at first repoxted to have a broken back----she returned to England, sum- moned the best boat designers and engine builders fin Great Britain and determined to try again this ycar. A month ago she shipped her boat to Muskoka where it was tried out under the supervision of Commodore Harry Greening of Hamliiton, one of the best motor boat designers and drivers in Can- ada, The result was that one of her three Napier Lion 900 horsc- power engine was removed be- cause it made her box heavy and dangerous on the 'turns. Now Miss Carstairs and her boat with only 1,800 horse-power to oppose Miss America's 2,500 horse-power is at Detroit awaiting the signal to start on Saturday. Miss Car- stairs will drive the boat herself. The boat will do over eighty miles an hour as against Miss America's 93 miles per hour, but Miss Car- stairs hopes to win, as Major Se- grave did in Florida, where he beat Miss America with Golden Arrow, by ability to take the turns wide open, that Ontario's forest wealth was al- most inexhaustible little thought ap- pears to have been given to provid- ing protection for standing timber. Much of it was-wasted, much of it destroyed by the elements, and, as the borders of industrial development and land settlement extended within the province, the fire hazard increased Careless lumbering methods left large areas denuded of standing timber and reduced to a minimum natural refor- estation. Extension of railway lines and land settlement, stimulation or activity in the forest areas in the search of .precious and base metals, and the far-flung extent of lumbering operations increased the fire hazard immensely, and in the course of time it was realized that active aggres- sive measures must be taken to pre- serve fo the people and the forest products industries their great heri- tage in standing timber, so that those industries might continue to operate to the benefit of the province and its people in perpetuity. Created in 1923 for purposes of for- est fire detection, the air service has a total strength now of 23 ships dis- tributed at strategical points through out the forest areas, and, in addition to operations on forest fire protection it is also used generously in connec- tion with suppression, aerial photo- graphy and forest survey work. In addition to this, one machine is equip ped for spraying diseased and pest- ridden forest growth. In 1924 the to- tal flying hours credited to the air service was approximately 2,600. This has been steadily increased as the organization developed till this year. five years later, the total flying hours approximate 7,00, and we are as yet only two-thirds through the hazard season, The following comparative table will give an accurate idea of fire losses in.

The year 1928 was also ab- normal. This table has been adjusted to allow for three fires in varied re- mote districts in 1928, the areas being 30,000, 25,000 and 15,000 acres respec- tively, elimination of which would rc- duce the average figure for 1928 to 57 acres. In the last year or so ram and wet conditions have assisted in for control. At the same time it is felt that the reduction in average fire losses in Ontario's forests, over the | past few years reflects grgat credit upon the organization of both the ground force and the flying force, and amply justifies the expenditure, and effort necessary in their creation, Since the time of King William 1V, when the Canadian forests were con- sidered almost exhaustless, the pic ture has changed, as already stated. New ideas and new policies have be- come necessary, and in this connec- tion flying has undoubtedly proved its worth, Much, however, remains to be done, In addition to the vigor- | ous prosecution of the plans of the! forest protection organization with! co-operation of the public is obsolute- ly essential. Native and visitor alike must, where necesasy, be educated as to the vital importance of the forest wealth that the government and the large operating companies 'are doing so much to protect. The carly idca of an exhaustless supply must be fin- ally wiped out. The = timber crop must be maintained to assure per-! maneénce and prosperity of, the in- dustries which derive their raw ma- terial from the forests, and it is feit that the provincial air service will have no small part in the fulfilment mirably in the future as it has done in>the past, CANADIAN DAIRY PRODUGE PRAISED Noted British Visitor Says England Offers Big Market Montreal, Aug. 30--Three delegates to the annual convention of the Can- adian Chamber of Commerce in Ed- monton and Calgary next month from leading. British chambers gave inter- views at the headquarters of the Ca- nadian Section in Montreal this morning. + The visitors are F. W, Par son, London; George Hutcheson, Ab- erdeen; and A. E. Howitt, Notting- ham. Mr. Parson is a member of the exc- cutive council of the London Cham- ber and chairman of the provision trade scction. He was formerly managing director of Reynolds Sons and Co. Ltd.,, Smithfield, and Richard Dickson and Company of London and other firms in the provision line. He said that he will be particularly interested to sec the position of the dairy industry in Canada. "The trade in the United Kingdom he said, " has an extremely high op- inion of the quality of Canadian dairy produce shipped in the last year or two, and especially cheese. There is very little doubt that all the cheese Canada can ship of the present splen- did quality will find a ready market on the other side. General regret has been expressed that Canada has not been able to send butter as it is much appreciated on account of its high quality. Im- porters handling bacon, too, coming into England, are very sorry that the supplies from Canada are short and interniittent. I believe there is a de- mand for all that they can get." Mr. Parsons reported that in Eng- land the provision trade is quiet at the present time. He refused to make any statement concerning politics on the other side. "As a representative of London Chamber of Commerce, which is a strictly non-political body and knows no politics." He pointed out that the London Chamber with a membership of more than 8,000 is the largest in the world. He said that it has 72 trade sections and very large associations affiliated to it and represents merchants, im- porters and manufacturers of every commercial interest of standing.

"At one time Canadian cattle came in," he said 'and many of our farmers were sorry when the supply ceased." In regard to herrings he said that they are looking for fresh markets though having lost the Russian. While characterizing trade general- ly in Scotland as quiet at the pre- sent time, he said that the farming and the trawling interests have had a fairly good year. Mr. Hutcheson spoke highly of the calibre of the human stock from the North East of Scotland and said that there are many people in this part who would like to come to Canada (if opportunity offered. ! Mr, Howitt is vice-chairman of the hosiery section of the Nottingham Chamber of Commerce. He is a ma- nufacturer of full-fashioned ladies' hosiery, and while in Canada he said he will be interested to study methods of manufacture and is visiting some of the mills. He pointed out that in Nottingham the hosiery trade has been very good, but woollen hosiery has been rather neglected, especially during the past winter, when it was so dry and cold in England. "The ladies kept on with their silk | stockings and wore socks," he said. Mr. Hutcheson was interested to i discover what was the position in Ca- | nada. "I never wear woollen stockings { myself," explained a lady' secretary in | the Chamber of Commerce office, i "but it is only foolish girls who don't. Lots of girls do." Mr. Howitt said that the once fa- mous lace trade of Nottingham is now a thing of the past and he re- marked that if there was a revival difficulty would be experienced in finding the necessary labor. The relations between employers and employed in the hosiery trade, he said, are very good, and there has been no trouble for upwards of 20 years, ALMONDS PERSONALS Almonds, Aug. 27--Mr. and Mrs, John Balsdon, of Markham, Miss Gladys Connstable and Mr. Norman Balsdon, of Toronto, MisgBuby Reeson and Mr. James Reeson, of Columbus, were Sunday visitors at the home of W.
