Selkirk forestry students receive on-the-job training — “It’s certainly different from the flow of things in a classroom,” -says forester John Harwijne of CZ Canada as he tells of a unique system of field training for forestry students from Selkirk Col- lege. The students take on a regular juvenile spacing job at the CZ Canada logging operations at Courtenay, on Vancouver Island, each year. Harwijne said the annual working field trips were started four years ago by Herb Hammond, a former CZ Canada assistant forester and now an instructor in silviculture at Selkirk. “This year we had 14 students here for two weeks,” said Harwijne, “They split into two groups, with one group handling the spacing work for a week, then alternating for a second week or studying forestry, yarding, falling and other aspects of working in the costal woods. “I believe the time spent here is very meaningful for the students,” Harwijne said,’ “because juvenile spacing is an intricate job, it takes skill and knowledge to deal with cutting out the right trees, and the right species, leaving the best trees to grow.” Hammond said the stu- dents were assigned and Right amount of important to the It’s interesting to note that today the largest out- board motors are over one hundred times as powerful as the smallest ones! There's a good reason for this wide range of horse- power offerings, according to the Allied Boating Associa- tion of Canada. It is to provide proper, safe, econ- omical propulsion to fit the * very wide range of pleasure boats available, from light- weight canoes and small runabouts to deep-sea fishing boats and commodious house- boats. More than any other aspect of boating, the right amount of power for a particular boat puzzles and confuses people. Some try to simplify things in their own minds. To make a boat go twice as fast, they think you should double the power. Or, the longer a boat is, the more power it needs. Both these assumptions are wrong, of course. If the first were true, a 100 hp. motor would make a given boat go twice as fast as a 50 hp. model. The: 100 hp. motor will make the beat go somewhat faster, but far. from twice as fast. And if the second were completed spacing work on 10 hectares this year, and the work was carried out in May.

He won by default two months ago. “Other kids have enough money to go to McDonald's everynight, and I didn't,” he was quoted in a_ victory’ statement.

The evidence is in the three million manuscript pages of Diefenbaker papers being ‘transferred from Ot- tawa to the University of Sas- katchewan’s Diefenbaker Centre, which opened June 12. The papers begin with notes which the former prime minister took when he was a student at the university's law school before World War I. John Munro, formerly of Castlegar and now the dir- , ector of the centre, believes the documents will involve 10 man-years of reading. No doubt, more man-years than that will be involved if, as the university hopes, the:$3-mil- lion centre attracts a steady stream of Canadian scholars.

Twelve years ago Voitto was mauled by a lion when “:e visited the Safari Park near Arnhem.

Trying to get a better photo, he opened his window, not noticing a lion approach- ing the back of the car. The lion attacked and Feized Voitto by the right shoulder, dragging him out of the car — the door burst open as he was pulled against it. Three more lions app d his life and he was dragged away, some 20 metres from the car.

There’s no shortage of material: apart from the ar- chival papers, there are 1,800 items of memorabilia, scores of painting, cartoons, prints and photographs, as well as and oddball sou- ies. But Munro takes pains to point out the centre is not a Diefenbaker hall of fame. * Although D: venirs Diefenbaker was given over the years. Diefenbaker’s Sir John. is was chancellor of the univer- sity, he: was, “if anything, anti-intellectual,’’ Munro says. “‘So there was a hell of a lot of suspicion about any- thing to do with Diefenbaker or this gift within the uni- versity community.”’ In fact, Munro had his own suspicions, too: ‘I’m certain that what Diefenbaker had in mind was a memorial to himself, as the presidential libraries are memorials to the individual presidents.” The other difficulty is that the collection is‘an ex- pensive gift. Not only does the material have to be housed but the cost of pro- A. patt of the whole, including portraits, statues and papers. A tour through the centre’s storeroom turns up Macdon- ald’s rum cup, a history of Roman kings published in — 1631, a trumpet from a cer- emonial review, and the foot- ball used to kick off the 1961 Grey Cup football game (Win- nipeg Blue Bombers-21, Hamilton Tiger-Cats-14). There are also an ar- chives research room, ref- erence library and audiovisual room. for tapes, slides and microfilm.

Mount Desert Island has no natural connection to the mainland but it is acces- sible by road over a cause- way and bridge, It is not a place to go‘ for beaches be- cause the island was formed by glacial action and at most’ points along the coast its cliffs rise sheer from the water, which stays icy cold year-round. During the last century the island became a millionaire’s retreat. The Rockefeller fam- ily held much of it as their own private reserve, which is one reason it never be- came over-commercialized. The 11,000 acres presented to the nation by John D. Rockefeller Jr., encompass- ed some of the most scenic areas and formed the basis of the national park. The carriage paths he built are now open to hikers, cyclists and horseback riders, Bar Harbor, where accom- available, is close to the en- trance of the park, at the beginning of a one-way road that leads around the island.

Sieur de Monts Spring, where the Bar Harbor Garden Club has established the Wild Gar- dens of Acadia, was named for the soldier who planted a French flag there in 1604, What is believed to have been the first French mis- sion on the North American continent was founded on the island almost by acci- ‘dent. Jesuit missionaries heading - for the mainland were. blown off course and sought shelter on the island. The mission they built lasted until 1619 when the British, seeking to take over all French settlements, landed on the island and destroyed the buildings, Veteran sawmilier an eariy resident One of Castlegar’s earliest inhabitants and a veteran of its sawmill industry retired June 7. Joe Cheveldave Sr., a foreman at Celgar Lumber Division, lived in the town for 62 years and spent most of his life there watching it grow. When he moved to Castlegar as a young child in 1918, the hamlet was little more than a gathering spot for toca! farmers, “In those days, there was a post office, a general store, and about 50 people at the most,” he recalls. had a population of 50. Virtually all of them were Doukabours who had moved to the area over the years to farm and Taise their families. “Some came to escape persecution; others, to start a new life in a new land,” he explains. But unlike most rural communities, Castlegar continued to grow, partly because of its centralized location. “When the pulp mill was build in 1961, hundreds of new families moved into the area. ColCel’s decision to build here was probably the turning point in the town’s future,” he adds. His ion with the c dates back to 1946, when he joined the old Waldie sawmill. He worked as an edgerman, a sawyer and a foreman before moving over to CanCel's new sawmill. He has worked as a foreman at the mill ever since, “mostly on afternoon shift.”. Cheveldave’s retirement plans include spénding more time with his garden and fruit trees. He will continue to be well represented at the CanCel mills: his son. Joe. Jr. is grading supervisor at Celgar Lumber while another son works at the neighbouring pulp mill.
