CHANGE OF ADDRESS. 



The office of the Canadian Forestry 

 Association is now in the Journal 

 Building, Ottawa, and to this address 

 all communications should be sent. 

 'Mail which has been addressed to the 

 old office will, however, reach us 

 safely. 



Be sure to make arrangements to 

 take in the Halifax Convention, Sept. 

 2, 3 and 4. 



HO! FOR HALIFAX. 



It has been decided that the 1914 

 Forestry Convention is to be held in 

 the fine old city of Halifax, and the 

 date definitely decided upon is Wed- 

 nesday, Thursday and Friday, Sep- 

 tember 2, 3 and 4, 



The friends of tiie forest in Xova 

 Scotia have been urging the claims of 

 Halifax for six or seven years, and 

 members of the Canadian Forestry 

 Association in other provinces have 

 backed up the effort, but until now 

 the claims of Central and "Western 

 Canada proved too strong. 



This time, however, the Government 

 of the province and the lumbermen 

 united in a strong invitation, and, at 

 the annual meeting, this invitation 

 was accepted, and ]\Ir. F. C. Whitman, 

 of Annapolis Royal, N.S., who has for 

 many years, both as a director of the 

 Association and as a lumberman, 

 worked for forest conservation, was 

 elected Vice-President. Mr. William 

 Power, ]\I.P., of Quebec, the new Pre- 

 .sident, also believes that it is now the 

 turn of Nova Scotia for a meeting. 



The date first suggested Avas in the 

 month of August, but after carefully 

 considering aU the factors involved, 

 and con.sulting with tho.se on the spot, 

 it was decided that the best time was 

 Sept. 2, 3 and 4, and these days have 

 been fixed upon. 



There has never been a convention 

 more generally accepted than tliis one, 

 and everything points to one of the 

 mo.st successful and useful conven- 

 tions in the history of the Association. 



Halifax, with its many attractions, 

 hi.storic, scenic and commercial, is one 

 of the great convention cities of Can- 

 ada, and many hundreds of Cana- 

 dians from the central and western
