This is an all too common picture— a tragic picture of waste and economic loss. But in the mountains back of Prince Rupert a very different picture is developing. Here are the forests that will never die . . . timber tracts which are constantly protected and renewed by the Columbia Cellulose Company. We call this new job of ours “‘tree farming’’. Here’s how it works. ‘Instead of cutting-all the timber at once, we take out selected patches of timber. Surrounding blocks of trees are left standing to re-seed the logged-off lands. Should this natural re-seeding fail, Company foresters replant the area. Long before we need them again there will be a healthy stand of mature spruce and hemlock on the same spot. Successful. tree farming takes time and money. Every year, Columbia Cellulose ‘will spend thousands ‘of dollars on ‘forést caré: As the young seedlings” grow, they will be protected from fire and pest with every known resource of modern scientific forestry. All cutting for our big mill at Port Edward will take place under government supervision and will provide a major source of government revenue. And these forests remain open to hunters and fishermen to enjoy. _ , Ours is truly a huge investment. Yet we believe there is no better investment for all of us in this Province than forests continuously renewed «+ forests that never die. Columbia Cellulose Company is the first unit of a rapidly expanding Canadian industrial organisation. Within a few months, this org ion will be bining timber fram __ British Columbia with natural gas derivatives from Alberta to produce a wide range of fibres and other acetate products for Canadians from coast to coast. Our program of continuous forest yield ensures lasting full-time employment for thousands of Canadian workers. 14 { a aN BA CO M (PUAN Y Wan SES Lebo M LoTba£ RUSH Hen —— SPRING TEA PLANNED The Kinnaird United’ Church W, .A. niet at the home of Mrs. K.
