What is even more ex- ceptional is that Bertha Web- ster celebrated her 100th birth- day in August of this year. Mrs. Webster is able to read because of a service offered by the Vancouver Pub- lic Library. This service, known. as Audiobook Service to the Handicapped, is available through ALL British Columbia public libraries to visually im- paired or physically handicap- ped persons unable to read print. The service is co-ordinated by the Library Services Branch of the ministry of recreation and conservation, and consists of full-length fiction and non- fiction books recorded on audio cassetles, Born in Ontario on Aug. 27, 1878, Mrs. Webster resided in Edmonton where she met her late husband Arthur, 2 CNR conductor, Upon his retire- ment, the couple moved to White Rock, and later to Van- couver. A long-time library user, Mrs. Webster moved from regular books to large print Timber Supply Areas Proposed for Kootenay These past few weeks have seen a series of meetings throughout the Kootenay re- gion of B.C. as the forest service and the forest industry are getting to grips with the new forest legislation. Of particular interest to logging companies is the pro- posal to amalgamate the Public Sustained Yield Units (PSYUs) into Timber Supply Areas (TSAs)}. This was recommended by the recent royal helped good forest manage- ment, As part of this change to TSAs, a more detailed analysis of timber supply is being undertaken to arrive at a more realistic annual allowable cut, which will be less than the currently approved annual al- lowable cut. This new allowable cut will reflect, along with other factors, what timber is _ accessible and available during © the next 20 years, whereas the 1 all on forest resources within B.C., and in the Kootenay Region seven TSAs have been pro- posed, replacing the 14 PSYUs now existing. The main purpose in this redrawing of administrative boundaries is to define “geo- graphically distinct areas that reflect an efficient pattern of wood movement from harvest- ing site to the primary manu- facturing plants” (Extract from the recent provincial govern- ment White Paper on yield regulation within TSAs). This will not affect current stumpage appraisals, which de- termine what the forest service charges for timber, but it should improve on timber yield regulation boundaries which served their purpose in the past, but which, because of changing hauling patterns have recently hindered rather than \ present appro’ b] cuts were determined consider- ing what timber would become accessible during the whole growing cycle of 85 - 120 years. Allowances for environ- mental protection are also greater than were made pre- viously. Firm figures for the ‘new allowable annual cut by TSA are not yet available, neither is an assessment of what the economic effect will be- of probable reductions in allot- ment of timber-cutting rights to forest companies. Changes in milling tech- niques to reduce wastage and to produce a more valuable end-product are obvious ways to lessen the impact. Some companies within the region have already foreseen a change to smaller log sizes and poorer grades, and have recently in- stalled more modern equipment to cope with the changes.

Three years ago, her niece heard about audiobooks, and Mrs, Webster resumed her reading. She spends part of every day reading audiobooks, pre- ferring true stories about Can- ada and British Columbia, but enjoying “any really good story.” Although she has a radio and television in her room, she finds the cassettes and tape recorder easier to handle, Audiobooks are available in Castlegar from the Castlegar Public Library, If you know of anyone unable to read because of a visual or physical disability, phone the library for further information, Books are still in the reach of Bertha Webster . B.C. Tree. Planters To Form Association British Columbia's tree planters will soon have an asso- ciation through which they will be able to deal with the prob- lems of ‘their profession. The reforestation program in British Columbia is growing not only in importance to, the forest industry, but also in the total volume of trees planted each year, and a sizeable tree- planters labor pool has de- veloped. Some of this group have seen the need for greater communications among plant- ers, contractors, industry and the British Columbia Forest Service (BCFS). At an initiating meeting in August at Vallican, B.C, a group of enthusiastic planters from across the province came together for two days and en- dorsed a core group of volun- teers to set up a charter for the proposed association, register it, and organize a first general meeting in Vancouver. If rated in enthusiasm, the meeting in Vallican was a tremendous success, Just a few of the potential goals of the society discussed . by those present are: 1. The establishment of a regular newsletter relating to forestry and tree planting; 2, The establishment of a representative channel of com- munication with the BCFS to deal with such issues as the BCFS quality control method and the BCFS tree-planting contract; 3. To acquire legal coun- sel; and - 4. To encourage fair rela- tions between contractors and planters. A large turnout is antici- pated at the first annual general meeting to be held at The International house on the UBC campus in Vancouver on Dec. 2 and 3, Those attending will have to choose an executive from their ranks. and anyone interested is urged to give their support.

In response to city council's request early: last month that the company add CFRO-FM programming to its cable sys- tem, a letter from H.
