Axes and fiw:q;’u set :liitdi:.‘ 3 acks celebrate the year‘s gayest holiday. To thousands, among the more than 250, 000 &wood cutters, this means reunion with their families. To others, too far from their homes to undertake the long journey, Christmas is also a welcome m'ate and an occasion for rejoicing. They snowâ€"shoe from the four corners of the surrounding forest, leaving their individual camps to gather at the central woods depot where camp life takes on a new meaning: Christmas trees plucked right at the back doors are trimmed; the huge Yule log is hauled to the main hut; gifts are wrapped h;eflly tlnmfiom are made for the "reveillon" and for the Christmas dinner. The religious is of course the principal feature of the holiday. The main dormitory is appropriately decorated for the celebration of Midnight Mass. Trout Depot, 200 miles north of Ottawa in the Gatineau watershed, and cenâ€" tre of woods operations for a large pulp and paper company, is headquarters for the Christâ€" mas festivities for the lumberjacks from the 14 Hulpwood camps in the surrounding area. These pictures by Malak, Ottawa photographer, illustrate a few of the highlights of the Christmas celebration at Trout Depot. At toJ: chore boy Guy Loiselle, who must perform his job even on Christmas day, is shown in his daily trek from hut to hut to deliver water supâ€" : Dobbin too must work but he does not mind the added weight of the Christmas tree. fl:er left, cook Emilien Lacroix, is the one man at Trout Depot whose labours increase on "Je jour de Noel;" he is shown giving a last basting to one of the large birds adding up to 225 pounds of turkey meat he will serve. Other items on the menu: 75 meat pies, 100 dozen doughnuts, 300 sandwiches, a dozen kingâ€"sized iced fruit cakes.
