Mr. Zavitz Takes Charge 



According to an official announcement 

 of the Ontario Government, a long-ex- 

 pected change in Ontario's forest ad- 

 ministration has taken place by 

 which virtually the full control of 

 all forestry affairs has been transferred 

 to the charge of Mr. E. J. Zavitz, 

 Provincial Forester. Hitherto Air. 

 Zavitz' jurisdiction covered forest pro- 

 tection and the reforestation enterprises 

 such as the forest tree nursery at St. 

 Williams, Ontario. The Forestry Mag- 

 azine understands that Mr. Zavitz will 

 now have control of all branches of tim- 

 ber administration which involves a most 

 important departure from the previous 

 policies of Ontario Governments.
