In the ecurrent issue of ‘*Canadian Forest and Outdoors,""‘ the official organ of the Canadian Forestry Asâ€" sociation ~there is an interesting article relative to Mr. R. A. Melnanis, manager of the Abitibi Power Paâ€" per Co., Iroquois Falls, who was one of the speakers at the anâ€" nual Board of Trade banquet in Timâ€" mins last week. The article is pubâ€" lished, with a halfâ€"tone picture of Mr. Meinuis, under the heading, ‘‘Interâ€" esting Peopleâ€"A Department Devotâ€" ed to Biographica} Sketches of Men Who Have Madt Their Influence Felt Along the Lines of Forest Conservaâ€" tion."‘ ‘‘The first ibig problem i§ fire preâ€" vention. iMr. Melnnis feels that alâ€" ready considerable strides have hbeen made towards the sotution of the fire prevention problem and that it is alâ€" most time to,consider the second part, that is, ensuring a good erop of wood year by year. (Mr. Melnnis is emphatic on the point that this quesâ€" tion has been dealt with too much in generalities. A definite plan must be drawn up by the foresters which will ensure the use of our present forests while providing for a continuous supâ€" ply im the future. This may necesâ€" aitate action along the "ines of enâ€" forced slash. disposal, replanting of burned over areas, the encouragement WORKING TO CONGERVE GANAGA‘S FOREST WEALTH tion or other conservation methods; while fire takes twenty times the toll of the woodsman‘s axe what value is it to potter about the slash regulaâ€" tions. ‘*iMr, Melnnis divides the problem into two parts and until the first has been definitely attended to he thinks there is little use doing much about the second. These two points ‘areâ€" first, fire protection, second, a definite plan . of conservation. Unless the fires which devastate millions of acres yearly can be prevented, what use is there spending money on reforestaâ€" ‘*Holding these views Mr. Melnais has been very active in pointing out the situsation both privately and pubâ€" liely to executives of other industries, to the Ministers of the Government of Ontario and Quebee and through the Boards of Trade and other organizaâ€" tions to the people generally. Mr. Melnunis never misses an opportunity of impressing on all business men of Ontario what a vital interest they have in forest conservation and how it should ‘be attained."" â€" GOOD HEADWAY MADE WITH HOLLINGEK POWER PLANS The following was among patches over the Arthur E private wire last week :â€" ‘"In an interview with A.
