any further co-operation that can be carried out should be eitected, as 

 today the lumberman is working under the worst conditions possible. 



Above have been briefed the addresses made at a meeting of the 

 Canadian Pulp and Paper Association in Montreal on November 23, 

 1 91 7, looking to the formation of a forestry or woodlands section. At 

 this meeting Messrs. Ellwood Wilson, of the Laurentide Company: 

 Walter N. Kernan, of the Donnacona Paper Company, and Angus B. 

 McLean, of the Bathurst Lumber Company, were appointed a com- 

 mittee to draft a constitution and organize a section. The object of 

 this section is to bring together the men who are actively handling the 

 work in the woods and for interchange of ideas, the study of better 

 and more economical methods of getting raw material to the mills, and 

 the problems of utilization, which are demanding attention and on 

 whose solution future supply depends. 



This is a distinct forward step and shows the initiative of the asso- 

 ciation. The American Pulp and Paper Association would do well to 

 consider taking similar action. 



The by-laws of the Woodlands Section provide : 



Two classes of members: (i) Members — entitled to vote; (2) associate mem- 

 bers — not entitled to vote. 



1. Qualification for Members. — Any person who occupies, or has occupied, 

 an executive woodlands position in the pulp, paper, and lumber industry; any 

 one occupying a subordinate position in the pulp and paper industry who has 

 had a satisfactory technical education; any one who, though not having had a 

 technical education, has special qualifications and experience. 



2. Qualifications for Associate Member. — Any person who will support and 

 assist the aims of the Woodlands Section and who, by virtue of his qualifica- 

 tions, is likely to further the work of the section. These members may attend 

 all official meetings of the section and have the right to take part in discussion. 



Any associate member who in the opinion of the council satisfies the require- 

 ments of Class I may become a voting member. 



The annual dues for voting members shall be $3, and the annual dues for 

 associate members $2, payable at the beginning of the calendar year. A member 

 who has not paid at the end of the year is suspended. 



A council of five members is to manage the business of the section, and 

 besides the annual meeting two other meetings during the year are to be provided 

 for.
