CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, October 28, 1976 ‘Should Set An Example By Mark Wilson ‘Vancoiiver Province Crown-owned forest com- panies should sct an example for other firms in the woods and fn’ the way in which they oxtract_ maximum value from their raw: material, but they should not be expected to put up with impractical rules and regulations, says former pro- vinelat tands and forest. minis- ter Ray Williston, Mr, Williston is chairman and president of B.C. Cellulose Co, the Crown corporation .which looks after the govern- ment's three wholly owned ‘forest operations and its 81 per ~ ‘cent interest in Canadian Cellu- lose Ltd. - Mr. Williston, who in his ‘days as minister was Tesponsi- ible for making the B.C. forest @ acreages: it logged, has indergone a shift in his view. “I.am becoming an advo- ceate of fhe view that the utillza- “tion of certain types of wood in -certain areas appears to be impossible. We have to do “something about this situa- tion,” said the man who was the forest minister for 16 years under the Socred regime of W.A.C, Bennett. Mr. Williston cited the demand that old partly rotten scedar logs be dragged out of ciremote locations, in the Koote- ‘nays 88 an example of too Jzealous pursuit of the close He pointed to photographs he has taken of decayed logs which supposedly should be transported to the mills, “I feel that the regulations should be changed so that compantes can get rid of rotten wood in the forest without having to trans- port it 100 miles to a mill", he said, Mr. Williston acknowl- edges that new cutting tech- niques will haye to be intro- duced if sound wood is to be recovered on site from partly rotten trees, but claims that the task {s not insuperable. At hearings held last year by the Pearse royal commission on forest resources, Ian Ma- hood, representing 2 Slocan forest company, condemned forest service insistence on close utilization and priority logging in the Kootenays as folly. Mr. Mahood is ‘now a director of B.C. Cellulose. Close utilization calls for the removal of trees as spindly as seven inches in diameter on the butt and demands that use be made of logs tapering down to a diameter as small as four inches, Priority cutting directs loggers into stands-of over- mature and decadent timber, where rot is prevalent. Mr. Williston said his con- cern about the forced removal of rotten timber from the woods is expressed apeak oul against requirements they belleve to be impractical, “We are not doing it just for ourselves, as any relaxation of a regulation that can be shown to be impractical will help all companies’ who are regulated, ‘There fs rotten cedar in the Kootenays, but there is also rotten cedar east of Williams Lake and north of Kamloops and If rellef is given in the Kootenays, it will hardly be denied these other arcas,” The Dolly Vardens Are Biting The Dolly Vardens are biting out at Bob's Marina and Castlegar resident Walter, Miller seems to have the answer to how to catch them effortlessly, Last week,’ while walking on the marina’s platform walk, a three pound Dolly startled’ Mr. Miller by leaping out of the water landing right at his * pestdes offering this “true” fish ‘d forest companies, Mr, Williston con- tends, “should attempt to sctan example through the. way in which they meet forest service regulations. They should try to live’ by these regulations, if they can. If they can't, they have an obligation to draw attention to the fact. Govern- ment should be told when things don't work.” story to “the Castlegar News, Mrs. Bob Wood asked that fishermen be warned not to leave food in their boats, One runabout. recently sustained an esti- mated $1,000 \ damage when a bear helped himself - to some apples ‘causing havoc to both the boat's canvas cover and the seats, Operation Service Out To Assist Veterans In ‘its search to assist “veterans and thelr dependents to apply for benefits to which they may be entitled, but of which they are unaware, a series. of examples of ‘com- on behalf of government-owned Kootenay Forest Products.

In view. éf the application that was being pro- cessed, however, the Legion Service Bureau followed up the claim posthumously. It proved possible to estab- lish thatthe veteran could, since 1971, when changes were made to the Pension Act, have received additional pension under the “Paired Organ” pro- visions of the act. It was ruled that the additional pension’ to which he would have béen entitled would have brought the total to 48 per cent or more, and the. widow was’ granted Widow's Pension.
