VAST CHANGE IN WOODS CPERATIONS

- Year Round Cutting Bo

Pulpwood production, is onthe
increase in’ eee woodlonds
this year,

were subatantial but not particularly
appetizing; “his quarters were long

surveys carried out ey the Depart-
ment of Lands and Forests. -

.In many cases, pulpwood com-
panies sre cutting “year round”
now; in others, cutting is almost
complete and thousands of cords of
pulpwood sre piled on Inkes and
rivers ready for the most thrilling
of all scenes — the spring drives.

Fundamentally, cutting opera-
tions still follow the routine of
many years ago — the cutter lea-
ves camp early in the morning, car-
rying his substantial lunch. He mo-
ves to his “strip”, elther on foot or
by bus and, -working by himself,
drops his trees, cutting them into
the required eight or 16-foot lengths
and piles then to await thelr trans-
portation, y

But there have been * vast
changes in woods operations. In the
“old days" of Ontario loggirg, $30 a

month-and-food was the general|~

ule. The logger went into the bush
in the fall and stayed there until
spring.

He had no means of commun-
ication with the outside; his meals

which might hold 30 or
40 men but ‘afforded him no pri-
vacy. His tools were the axe. and
“Swede” saw, and no matter how
hard he worked, his financial re-
turn ,was still $30 a month’ and
board,

Today, the scene has changed.
The logger now may live’in a neat
bungalow or dormitory, in the mid-
die of the timber limits on which
he works, Transportation is by bus
or by his own ‘car to his ,eutting
strip.

He can he home | every night —

and in some cases, home for lunch,
‘Two-way radio or telephone allows
him to keep in touch with home,
and a laundry service provides him
with clean bedding and clothes.
White sheets and pillow cases are
generally supplied — ond he has
television for his night's entertain-
ment. x ;
Much of the heavy lifting has
been eliminated; In some areas por-
table “mills” equipped with cranes,
haul a cord of logs at & time out of
the bush, cut them into the re-
‘quired size and load them'on walt-
ing trucks for movement to lake or
stream where they are piled on the
ice to await the spring breakup.

It is claimed — and with cause
— that the Canadian logger is pro-

world, Among the: highest paid of
all workmen is the camp cook —
but he must be good or he doesn't
last long.

There isn’t as much river dri-
ving as there used to be, Today,
trucks ‘and winter roads provide
facilities for hauling to the mills.
