Our Eastern Car Now Woking 

 in Gaspe 



The Canadian Forestry Association's 

 Railway Exhibition Car (No i), freshly 

 equipped from end to end, and carrying 

 its own electric generating plant, is 

 meeting with a remarkable welcome in 

 Eastern Quebec, south of the St. Law- 

 rence, along the lines of the Canada and 

 Gulf Terminal Railway and the Quebec 

 Oriental Railway. Hearty co-operation 

 has been given by the Southern St. Law 

 rence Forest Protective Association, by 

 the various municipal authorities, parish 

 priests, lumber companies and fire rang- 

 ers. A French demonstrator and lec- 

 turer attends to the crowds during the 

 day and lectures in local halls, at night, 

 with the aid of motion pictures, for 

 which the portable generator supplies 

 electrical current. 



This year the Forest Protection Car, 

 loaned by the Canadian National Rail- 

 ways, was in the hands of carpenters and 

 other workmen for several weeks in or- 

 der to construct inside the car an at- 

 tractive and instructive set of exhibits. 

 Seventy electric lights, arranged in hand- 

 some plate-glass show cases and behind 

 frames of hand-colored scenic "trans- 

 parencies" contribute to a pleasing effect. 

 The products of the forest are so ar- 

 ranged that most of the manufactures of 

 pulp and many uncommon products of 

 hardwoods are arranged and described 

 so that any French or English visitor can 

 grasp the argument for forest conserva- 

 tion. Models of look-out towers, forest 

 telephones, wireless telegraph, etc.. 

 form one interesting section. A small 



tree nursery and a graphic model of a 

 maple sugar bush readily attract atten- 

 tion. A rotating "automatic steropti- 

 con" keeps fifty lantern slides flashing 

 on a stationary screen. On every hand, 

 framed notices press home the argu- 

 ment for forest preservation. "Forest 

 fire movies" used during the evening 

 lectures have been found very valuable 

 educationally. 



The car will move from Gaspe into 

 Northern New Brunswick, working 

 through town after town of the districts 

 presenting greatest scope for educational 

 propaganda, then into Central Quebec 

 for some weeks, afterwards devoting 

 two months to Ontario. 



The management of the Canadian 

 National. Canadian Pacific. Temiskam- 

 ing and Northern Ontario. Quebec Ori- 

 ental, and Canada and Gulf Terminal 

 railways have extended to the Forestry 

 Association's enterprises the maximum 

 of courtesy and co-operation.
