‘The first ts the Princess Alex-

The second is Smitty’s Pan-

Gver the intervening years, lore
esters have been able to update
thelr recommendations now based
largely on the ‘helicopter, the best
and most efficient means of getting
crews to fire outbreaks while there
is still time to avert a holocaust.
But little physical progress has
been achieved since Sloan's 1956
report was. issued.

Referring to access roads, he
sald: “Some ‘years ago it was esti-
mated that an additional 2,134 miles
of access roads and an additional
2,252 miles of protection trails (for
four-wheel drive vehitles) should be
‘built in extension of the then, as
now, inadequate road and trail sy-
stem in order to provide a minimum
of protection,

‘Between 1949 and 1955 he noted
that 827 miles of new roads and

standards,

Ottawa hos helped only a little
in this program, a total contribu-
tion of $1.1. million in 1958 .and
1959, Since then, nothing.

‘The federal government contri-
bution was 60 cents of every $1
spent on labor — nothing for the
machines which must play a key
role in any such program,

‘The province, of course put up
its $11 million but with access
a costing $30,000 a mile’and

96,000 8 mile the
eoney bought. the equivalent ‘of no
more than 33 miles of roads and
200 miles of trail.

Sloan noted that there were 140
lookout towers in 1956, He sald ad~
ditional requirementa were 266, To-
day there are 184 lookouts,.an in-
crease of only 14 in the last four
