CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Oct. 25, 1962 CASTLEGAR “Here Tet the press the people’s rights NEWS unawed by by gain” Established in Ninetesn Forests are Vital to Castlegar and District Technical progress in the forest pro- ducts industries is having wide and far reaching effects. And in no areas are the changes more marked than in the wood- lands and the mills of the pulp and paper industry, Canada’s leading producer and exporter. Now, ‘during National Forest Products Week, is a good time to look at. the progress which has been made in the fields which are of such vital concern to Castlegar and District. Fifteen years ago, east of the Rocky Mountains, almost all of the pulpwood was cut’ by bucksaw, loaded by hand, and transported with the aid of horses for at least part of its journey to the mill Today, the wood is virtually all. cut by. mechanical saw. Tractors’ and other motorized vehicles swarm through’ the forest. And intricate new machines, some of them capable of picking up two cords or more of pulpwood and transporting it over bogs, stumps, logs, and bush to: the road or to the stream, have been devel- oped for handling the harvest at every point on its journey from the stump to the mill. On the west coast, owing chiefly to the large trees, woods operations have been mechanized for many years. Never- theless, here too, recent years have brought extensive changes and improve- ments in the’ harvesting equipment. These developments in methods of harvesting the forest crop are having a significant effect. East of the Rockies, for example, production of pulpwood per man day has doubled during the past decade, and on the west coast the increase in ductivity in, the dlands has been no less startling. Pulpwood is, of course, the raw mat- erial for pulp, newsprint, paperboard, wrapping paper, fine papers, and the other products of the pulp and paper in- dustry. In turn, pulp and paper as a whole, accounts for one-fifth of all Can- ada’s exports,.is the nation’s leading in- dustrial producer and. employer, and. di- rectly and indirectly generates one’ in every seven or eight dollars in the in- Wanted Today: fe ° ° Alive & Kicking Age: 5 to 10 years old (more or less), Height: Comes in assorted sizes.

Hopefully, Mom, Dad and the Castlegar News Hundred and Bary aes come of every Canadian. Thus, technical progress in wood harvesting is not only important to the forest: industries but vi- tal to the wellbeing of Canada as a whole. Broadly speaking, the great in pulpwood harvesting that have oc- curred in recent years have happened in stages. In the first of these, the mechanical saw was adopted as a more efficient tool for ‘felling the trees: and bucking them into shorter lengths. Its introduction not only. revolutionized cutting, but also lightened':the task of. the woods worker and made it more. profitable. The ‘second stage brought:.a vast in- crease in:mechanical logging; as tractors took the place of horses,- and grapples and. other’ mech VICTORIA REPORT By JAMES K.

Among these, for example, is one unit which fells the trees and carries them to a central processing unit; an- other which limbs, barks, and slashes whole trees into eight- foot lengths; a third which limbs, fells, tops, and bunches trees as! tall as a six-storey building in one swift, simple operation; and a fourth which simultaneously skins off bark from trees and chips wood in the forest. These changes and innovations in the woodlands of the industry are designed to improve efficiency and productivity, aud they. have been paralleled in’ the mills. ‘ & soon starve, In other words, they must be the very pillars of their communities, Without them an their papers, a community would be a poor, drab place indeed, a veins.

Developments such as these, flowing from the efforts of. scientists, foresters, .and engineers, have contributed in. no small measure to the improved standards of. living evident throughout the industry over the post-war ytars. Thus in the mills the average weekly wage is now some 40 per cent higher than it was 10 years ago, whereas the consumer price index has in- creased by only 10 per cent. Similarly, woods workers enjoy high wages and their living conditions have im-|. proved immeasurably. Thus, the increased’: productivity throughout the industry has’ helped to make life, both for the mill worker and for he woods worker, much more prof- itab! “THE € CASTLEGAR NEWS Published Every Thursday At OF THE " By L, V.
