John Kurtz, a seasonal lands and
forests employee with some 20
years experience as a towerman,
completed his first season as an
aerial detection observer in
Kenora Forest District this past
summer. He capped the season
with a 17-page report, parts of
which were whimsically written.
Presented below are two
excerpts from this voluntarily
submitted report.
"In the beginning (around 7
B.C.), there was this high hill
that the villagers used to climb
whenever they smelled smoke,
so they could see where the
forest fire was.
If the fire seemed to be
heading their way they'd grab
their belongings and clear out.
Apparently, they lacked
confidence in their suppression
crews in those days. By and by,
this one fellow, somewhat
smarter than the rest, noticed a
tall tree on this high hill. With
great difficulty (since he wasn't
an ape after all), he climbed this
tree and sure enough it was just
as he suspected, the added
height increased his visibility
considerably.
"The villagers were quick to
see the advantages of this great
idea; it gave them at least an
extra hour getaway time, so the
"Forestry" of the day gave this
brilliant fellow his own tree, a
brontosaurus horn to sound the
alarm with, and the proud title
of `Big Chief Detection Officer'.
"Outside of this one great
leap forward (from a hill to a
tree), our detection system was
extremely slow in developing.
We don't use a brontosaurus
horn anymore, since the last one
was 'snaffled' by one of our
earlier leaders, but trees were
Tuned-m
teeth aid
gum disease
Shades a James Bond, there
really are people walking around
with radio transmitters in their
teeth.
These particular ones are not
for spies, or even hi-fi nuts, but
they do give us a better picture
of how gum disease can be
caused. Dental scientists have
been placing miniature
transmitters in living teeth to
measure biting pressures.
The "tuned-in" teeth have
shown that gum disease may
often be caused by simple injury
to the tissues from an improper
"bite".
Injury to the gums and
supporting tissues has been
recognized `for some time as
being responsible for changes in
the tissues. But these changes
were not connected to gum
diseases, which were thought to
be produced by inflammation.
For 50 years it was thought
the two were entirely separate.
If injury from an improper
bite was present, it was supposed
to be unrelated to the
destruction and tooth loss
caused by inflammation.
The tiny radio transmitters
have shown otherwise, proving
to some researchers that some
gum diseases are directly linked
to an improper bite and that it's
a factor in many other cases. —

Mr. and Mrs. Ben Hamilton
.spent the holiday with Mr. and
Mrs. Roy Allison in Toronto and
still used for lookout work
(along with towers) right up to
the end of the 1930's. In fact,
some of the white pine trees,
used for this purpose in this
district are still standing,
although the original tree
climbed by the first detection
officer is gone; it burned in a
forest fire.
"Why forest fire detection
was so slow developing after
such a promising start is
puzzling, but when the first
aerial detection observer took
off in a plane to search for fires,
he was actually carrying out the
only real improvement in
detection since Smokey Bear's
grand uncle climbed that first
tree back in the year 7 B.C.
"Disregarding the rise (and
fall) of the lookout towers
(which were little more than
man-made trees with a roof
added), the only other bold
experiments in fire detection
have involved heat detectors or
scanners, TV cameras mounted
on towers, orbiting satellites,
etc. To date, none of these
methods of detecting fires has
proven to be practical,
economical or efficient. Even if
some of the aforementioned are
eventually used to detect forest
fires, it's almost certain that
observers (such as myself!) will
have to go aloft to analyze their
findings anyhow, so it's difficult
to see where or what the
advantage would be, if any."
(After a discourse on the
advantages of aerial forest fire
detection and the improvements
which he feels can be made in
the system, author Kurtz
describes his admiration for his
"boss", the aerial detection
co-ordinator.)
"I give all credit for this
evangelistic fervour to our
co-ordinator, who by his fine
example, has instilled it into us.
This remarkable fellow, for
whom it is such a pleasure to
work, has us eating, sleeping,
drinking and dreaming of forest
fires, and sometimes even
finding a few!
"In fact, he has made me so
fire conscious that, if I die and
go to hell, I'm determined to ask
the devil for the lot, concession,
and base map number so I can
report his fire to the
co-ordinator. And I wonder how
our suppression boys will react
to that report?"

A record quantity of more
than 22,000 bushels of cones
and rough seed marks the
department of lands and forests'
seed collection program for this
year.
Action has now switched to
the Ontario Tree Seed Plant at
Angus, where for the next six
months, the staff will be
extracting valuable seed from
the cones.
Picking methods ranged from
hand-picking in logging slash
through various types of ladders
and platforms on trucks to
hydraulic vertical lift platforms,
an adapted frontend loader, and
a sophisticated prototype cone
picking tower developed by the
Department of Lands and
Forests' Research Branch at
Maple.
An example of down-to-earth
picking was the Diamond Family
of Moosonee, who, before
trapping season started, picked
cones in Chapleau Forest
District beside the road, this
group of hard working Indians
collected about 275 bushels of
jack pine cones. Seeing them
moving amongst the slash, their
bagged cones stacked beside the
road ready for pick up, with the
sound of power saws in the
background and tree-length
logging trucks rumbling by, one
could get a clearer meaning of
the phrase "from seed to trees".
Further north and west, only
1,300 bushels of a required
4,600 bushels of white spruce
cones were collected, The cone
crop, however, was spotty and
for this species, which matures
rapidly and disperses its seed in a
short period of time, pickers
must be ready and have good
access into the collection areas
as soon as the cones begin
turning brown. Pickers were on
the job on time near Cochrane
and collected 50 bushels from
the white spruce seed
production area in Clute
Township, as part of the
district's total collection of 540
bushels.
South of a line from
Temagami to Agawa Bay on
Lake Superior, a near bumper
crop of red pine cones yielded
8,300 bushels. An all-media
campaign of the past two years
to interest people in collecting
red pine cones has paid off. The
troublesome shortage of red pine
seed in storage, which had built
up over the past seven or eight
years, is practically over.
Because red pine seed stores
well, and retains its ability to
germinate at a high level for
periods of up to 10 years, the
extra 2,000 bushels above the
6,300 bushels required, was
gladly accepted.
Tweed Forest District led in
red pine cones with 2,150
bushels. Collections were made
from four red pine seed
production areas, including a
satisfactory 258 bushel
collection from the 10-acre area
in Northumberland County
Forest, Lindsay District.
The Owen Sound - Windsor -
Fort Erie triangle yielded about
6,000 bushels of black walnuts;
all trucked to the St. Williams
Nursery for direct sowing.
