“| come,

By Hon, Ray G. Williston,
Minister of Lands and Forests,
Victoria, B, C.

- It‘ was many years after the
discovery of our province before
we realized what constituted our

inexhaustable storehouse that
would sustain the Industry for ali
time, However, there was great
concern over the damaging wide-
spread fires that occurred each
summer,

‘With this In mind the govern-
ment of the day set up a’Royal
Commission of enquiry arid from
that developed the Forest Branch,
forerunner of the present Forest.
Service of the Department of
Lands and Forests,

Subsequent developments have
prompted two furthér commis-
sions and it is evident from the
data brought out by these later
enquiries that forestry in British
Columbia must go far beyond
protection from fire,

Today the primary concern of
the B, C. Forest Service is to
see that forest management is
established as rapidly as possible
on every acre of forest land in
the province.

greatest
the forests.
At the outset the great mag:
net of the Paciflc Northwest that
attracted the adventurous ex-
plorers and traders from all the
great sea-faring nations of the
oid world was the wealth of furs
and the pelts of seal and sea ot-
ter which were in such demand
in the fashion centres of the old
lands.

True enough the first arrival,
Captain James ‘Cook, replaced
hig damaged masts and spars
from the Douglas fir on the
shores of Nootka Sound, but the
markets for timber were re
mote, the product unwieldy and
the demand much les intensive
than it has become today,

Even seventy years later, it
was still not timber but gold
that becskoned the newcomers to
our shores, In due course, how-
ever, the “green gold" of our
hillsides came into Its own until
today it represents the founda-
tion of our prosperous economy
and the source of fifty cents In
every dollar of our provincial in-

It is forty-eight years since the
government officlally took cog-
nizance of the importance of the
forests in our development ‘and

‘$15,824.19

took steps to protect and con-
serve them. .
True enough, there was no
thought at that time that the
