The swiftness of his death left a shaken hockey world speechless.

Manager People in every walk o: life— a cross-section of Canada—are interested directly or indirectly in the telephone business, Nearly twenty thousand men and women of all ages and cc- cupations have invested their savings in Bell Telephone sto:k. Almost ten thousand men and. women are Bell Telephone employees. There are more than 710,000 telephones in Ontario and Ques bec alone. The lines of some 860 other telephone companies connect with Bell lines for interchange of service—adding some 140,000 additional telephones to those of the Bell Company to provide a unified service that touches the lives of virtually every citizen of this Dominion. The Trans -Canada Telephone System — a co-operative enter- prise uniting the major tele- phone systems across the Do- minion—provides a service from coast to coast that is available to practically any telephone user anywhere in the country, Can- ada's leadership in voice -com- munication is the logical result of the spirit of service which. animates telephone workers. SOME FALSE FOREST IDEAS (By IJ. W. Curran in The Soo Daily Sitar.) This paper believes Canada is 'Re- in a fool's paradise as far as its pulp- wood is concerned. It's pretty hard to get the public to believe that trees grow old and die, and that therefore the crop should he cut when 'mature. Also it seems to be an impossible job to get across the idea that spruce and pine trees cannot become of com- ntercial value unless there is a "cov- er" crop to protect them. So it comes down to this: That man's reforestation plans areseldom worth the money spent on them from a commercial standpoint. Practically the only method of growing conifers of commercial value s natnre's,—says the old bushman, - where there is a stand of say poplar or birch to shelter the young tree and thus make it reach up towards the sun. Man's scheme of planting coni- fers in 'long laws on' 'bare ground does not result in trees -of any value in commerce, no matter how beautiful a picture they may make. Why is it that pulpwood trees inttst have "cover crops," must he sur- rounded by trees that shut out the ground light to some extent? Because a tree in the open grows too "limby", as they say in the b risk And a "linrby" tree means knots in the pulpwood. And knots will quickly wear out any knife in the dressing process that all pulpwood has to un- dergo before it reaches the pulp grinders. There are queer things about trees. A swamp spruce, any size, will have about filS .per tent. more wood in it than the white spruce which grows on high. ground. 'rhe fibres will be longer, The swamp spruce and the white spruce are two .different trees, They don't grow on the ,sante kind ,tif groundedifferent leaves and different bark. and in a way, a different texture of wood. The cost of cutting, hauling and processing the two 'trees when they reach the pub mill is the same, andnaturally, mailmen prefer - the Swamp variety, because it gives 'inore tinIP. size :for size. - You will meet bushmea who are Want and For Sale ads„ 1 week 25e, not so optimistic about 'Canada al- ways having a dominant position in the newsprint industry. They will point out to you that U.S. second growth is corning along fine, and that in 1115 or :30 years it may be very plen- tiful, and so the present strict conser- vation may 'be relaxed. The fact seems to he that the U.S. now real- izes the gravity of its forest waste, and is building up new supplies of raw material for its newsprint mills. In the meantime it is using Canadian Ile wsprint. importing Canadian pulp- wood and conserving its own. Canada may regret its Present lavish cut and tvaste. Would it be worth while to wake up at once? Reforestation stations do not copy nature. The old bushman scoffs at them. They lack the indispensable protection which makes the seedlings concentrate on reaching height with- out limbs. So that these men whit S'11C1111 their lives in the busk will tell you that artificial reforesting under the conditions which exist in Canada is useless if you want trees for com- tnerce,—pnloW00f1 that it will pay newsprint mills to use. • Not a vonifer will grow to com- mercial value in the open. without a cover crop, and 'here the cover is available, there , invariably are the trees the mills want. And it is asked here: They make a s ccess (sr artificial reforestation 1 ti Germany,—why Ontario? l'he conditions are different. 1 ler- man "forests" are in units that can ibe adequately guarded. These are sur- rounded by cultivated land, and so the fire risk that always fares On- tario's illimitable expanse of trees ie. not present, 1Naturally a forest that has little or no risk of fire is different to one where the trees' have to rtin this danger for the 60 or 80 years of 'their life. Then the ,German always sees the cover crop is there, Are 'forest .fires always bad? Old bushmen think they some ti m es help. Take an area ,covereci by say, dogwood and hazel. The growth is too dense to allow a start :for spruce or pine seeds. The old bushman will tell you of cases where this dense ground cover was hunted and he will claim that the succeeding stands .of conifers were made possible by the burning, To clear the ground littered with old slash and fallen trees he will claim that ,fire is the right thing. As to "selective" cutting he has his doubts. '"Cut out a wide bush road. and the trees on each side will be blown ,down by the wind. The trees along the road. 'being deprived of the cover crop, will grow "limby.' These make a nicer picture than the tree that :branches only towards its top, but they are next to valueless as pulp- wood." Some bushruen claim that it is next to impossible to burn a second growth of balsam and 'poplar, and some say that even second growth spruce is safe from fire so long as there is no accumulation of brush on the ground. The vital point is to .keep the forest clean of dead trees and slash and grass, and this is most of the so-called German system. So the calamity elf a forest fire that cleans up an area of debris eventually 'brings good in its train. A lire doesn't hurt the soil so much, except on rocky .ground where it is pretty- much de- stroyed. But it is on burnt -over areas where the trees get .the best start. The lire destroys the ,fungus and parasites as well as doing damage. Bit -Amen generally have respect for the booklearning of the college forest- er, 'but some havea't. When it comes to estimating a stand of trees, or working out the details of how to cut a hush or how to lay .out a camp, there are tbuslimen who think the school man is hopelessly sunk. Some clain: that no amount ,of book learn- ing can equip a man unless he has spent years in the woods using an axe, lie will quote chapter and verse in -Algoma operations to prove his claim. Are all .b.usli !fires accidental? The old tinier doesn't think so. Get close to him and some will even go so far as to snort that the greater portion of bosh .fires now are set by men who want jobs to put them out. And he will grow cod when you •suggest that nothing can be done about it, 'For he doesn't believe .our .forests should be open to everyone, or, in fact, to any- one who can't. show he should be given the privilege Of wandering in them. 'He is for the striotest kind of rogillation when it •comes to forest vagrants. \ Vant and For Sale ads, I! wed. 35c
