peal to the truly strenuous. But 

 now the market affords a "blanket" 

 of tough rice paper, covered with 

 muslin for its protection, which will 

 stand an indefinite amount of rough 

 handling. Used outside of woolen 

 blankets, it is reported, a pair of 

 paper blankets will give as much 

 warmth as an extra pair of five- 

 pound wool blankets, with not much 

 than one tenth their weight in the 

 pack. This would seem to be a 

 step toward the realization of the 

 woodsman's dream of "a blanket as 

 warm on the bed at night as it was 

 in the pack all day." 



Now, I have struck a phase which 

 you people understand — the forests. 

 People living in Canada thousands 

 of years from now will want wood 

 and the products of wood just as 

 badly as you do now. These re- 

 sources are Canada's, and not yours, 

 and during the period of trusteeship 

 and occupancy the lesson is this— 

 that no tree should be taken out of 

 our forests where it was not provided 

 that another tree was growing to take 

 its place (hear; hear; and applause). 

 Not one ton of pulp wood would be 

 taken off the land of this country un- 

 less there was another ton coming to 

 maturity to take its place in due time. 

 It can all be done. Germany nearly 

 every continental country in Europe 

 has proved that. It can all be done 

 and no intelligent man in the in- 

 dustry today can dispute that it can 

 be done if forestry and forestry work 

 is prosecuted under proper conditions 

 and by proper conservation and pre- 

 servation, using the things which are 

 necessary for the present generation, 

 but leaving it just as it was before." 

 — Sir George E. Foster at luncheon of 

 Canadian Pulp and Paper Association 

 Montreal.
