Ten-ounce packs of biscuits are also among the test items.

The idea of the composite kit came out of an emergency meet- ing of forest protection officials in North Bay last fall. Since then, Mr. Mackey explained, doctors, dietitians, mannfactur- ers, packagers and other special- ists have been consulted on everything from vitamin and caloric content to utility in pack- ing and handling under all con- ditions. For waterproofing, for instance, the tea is in moisture- proof sacks. "Our principal aim, of course, in this as in all other aspects of forest fire fighting, is readiness for emergency and speed in cop- ing with it," said Mr. Mackey. "Tf this experiment is- successful in the field under actual fire figtihng conditions, suppression crews can be set down from patrol aircraft at once, fully equipped not only with fire- fighting implements, hose, etc.. which all our planes carry, but they can also operate independ- ently of further immediate con- cern from the base. The base, and all aircrart, then then can concentrate on bringing up aditional manual aid and sup- plies as quickly as _ possible Further, where crews have beef able to go in overland, food sup- plies can be dropped with ease and safety just as we now suc- Phone 978 New Liskeard PLUMBING and LEO'S TAXI HEATING Phone 311 Leo Deraiche, Prop. and ELECTRICAL HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO Hotel Haileybury businessmen and a place for Family Parties The excellent food--accompanied by good service is provided in a quiet, friendly atmosphere in which Dining becomes a Real Pleasure DINNERS SERVED 12:00 to 1:30 ss 6:00 to 8:00 Light Lunches Served -- 12:30 to 1:30 For Banquets and Large Parties we offer the exclusive use of THE BLUE ROOM A delightful place to hold your next Dance A Convenient, Comfortable Place to meet your friends is THE SILVER ROOM The Finest in Northern Ontario Bring your guests with confidence to HOTEL HAILEYBURY They Will Enjoy It!
