New President of Laurentide 



A Champion of Forestry. 



Mr. George Chahoon, Jr., a Direc- 

 tor of the Canadian Forestry Asso- 

 ciation and Associate Member of the 

 Canadian Society of Forest En- 

 gineers, has been elected President 

 of the Laurentide Co., Ltd., the 

 largest paper company in Canada, to 

 succeed the late Sir William Van 

 Home. Mr. Chahoon, like Sir Wil- 

 liam, was born in the United States, 

 being a native of Au Sable Forks, in 

 the Adirondacks, where his family 

 has long had paper interests. He is 

 still a young man, being only forty- 

 three. He took charge of the Laur- 

 entide Company about twelve years 

 ago and has built it up to its present 

 high standing. His broad general 

 interests and open mindedness early 

 persuaded him that only happy and 

 contented employes give their best 

 work and he has done everything to 

 make Grand Mere, not only livable 

 but also attractive and has succeed- 

 ed in building up one of the pret- 

 tiest villages in Canada. Realizing 

 that a cheap and steady supply of 

 raw material was of vital necessity 

 to this Company he became interest- 

 ed in forestry and has done more 

 along practical lines to utilize what 

 this science had to offer than almost 

 any man in Canada, taking not only 

 a selfish interest in it but looking at 

 it from the broadest standpoint and 

 urging the Provincial Government 

 to a more progressive policy. The 

 first large forest survey in Quebec 

 was that made by his Company and 

 it is also the first one to take up 

 commercial planting on a large 

 scale.
