istry.

‘The Vancouver firm of Air-
Reel Transport Limited, , which
holds patents on the balloon log-
ill] ging concept, will work with
MB&PR engineers and logging
crews in the tests. Chester Ma-
theson, an officer of the Air-
Reel company, has spent a num-
ber of years in developing the
concept.

While a Swedish experimen-
tal group has carried out some

US. Forest Service plans exper-
imental work, MacMillan, Bloe-
del and Powell River Limited's
project: is the first full-scale
operational test of the techni-
que.

Having harvested the valley
bottoms and moved up mountain
sidenilis, the forest products in-
dustry ish Columbia to-
day rd faced - with steeper. and
more rocky slopes where: con-
struction of roads to ‘accom-
modate steel spars is Brohibitive:
ly expensive. The need. is for

minimum road _ construction,
which provides the lifting effect
of a-skyline system, which: -eli-
minates e enaive cable resing,
and permits the use of light
lines and fast yarders. _
Balloon logging, MB&PR be-
lieves, may be the answer.
alloons provide lift, speed
in yarding, and require a mini-
mum of rigging. Logs would not
be lifted clear of the ground;
one end of the log would trail
on’the ground. But the lift wo-
uld eliminate hang-ups, minimize
breakage of logs,

and is expected to be safer for
logging crews.

Wind has been considered a
deterrent to use of balloons,
but modern balloons have aero-
dynamic qualities which cause
them to behave like a kite —
that is, face into the wind and
rise with the wind, which pro-
vides a greater litt’ factor. It =

ment in in Feely to John ‘Squire,
NDP for Alberni, concern-
ing the charging of fees for
use of private roads by trucks

and pases:

Hoffmeister, presi-
dent « of the Council of the Fo-
rest Industries, said:

“private _ industrial road
owners have always charged for |
use of their roads by other com-
mercial. vehicles. Why’ should |
one commercial enterprise —

this case, logging — have

port companies? There is no’
charge being made for use of’
the roads by the: general pub-'
lic, nor has there been consid-
eration. given. to charging any
such toll. This.is totally consist-
ent with, the concept of: ‘mul-
tiple use’ under which the for-
ésts are managed.”

In answer to the assertion

that maintenance ‘costs on the
Gold River-Campbell River Road
alone were increased by $25,000
jn 1963. due to public:and other,
