Report of The Directors 



For the third time in succession 

 the review of the Association's work 

 is written under the shadow of the 

 World War. Obviously, the pursuit 

 of forest conservation ideas has been 

 strongly influenced by the new ac- 

 tivities, changing points of view, and 

 more intense national spirit developed 

 through years of strain and tragic 

 sacrifice. While these times logically 

 have handicapped some departments 

 of our work, there have been many 

 great compensations and it is the 

 belief of the Directors that the As- 

 sociation has encountered its new 

 opportunities successfully and car- 

 ried out the purposes for which it 

 was founded. 



In the building up of membership 

 and revenues, the year 1916 shows 

 pleasing results. One thousand and 

 seven new members were brought 

 into the Association and this, with 

 our gain of 450 in 1915 represents an 

 advance of 50 per cent, during the 

 last two war years. 



Raising New Money. 



In order to avoid curtailment of 

 the extensive programme laid out 

 for 1916, the Secretary raised a spe- 

 cial fund, known as "The Publicity 

 Extension Fund," amounting to $1310 

 in which the following firms and per- 

 sons are represented: Laurentide 

 Company, $200; J. R. Booth and 

 C. Jackson Booth, $200; J. B. Fraser, 



$100; St. Maurice Paper Company, 

 $25; Hon. Nathaniel Curry, $50; 

 Canada Paper Company, $10; River 

 Ouelle Pulp and Lumber Co., $25; 

 Sir George Perley, $25; Riordan Pulp 

 and Paper Co., $25; Sir Clifford 

 Sifton, $100; Howard Smith Paper
