Canadian Forestry Journal, February, ipi6. 



391 



in New Brunswick, was the feature 

 of the evening, expert opinions be- 

 ing given as to what the needs of the 

 Province were and how they could 

 be carried out in the most practical 

 and economical manner. The an- 

 nouncement was also made that Mr. 

 P. Z. Caverhill, a member of the 

 Society, had been chosen as Director 

 of Forest Surveys for the Province. 

 Discussion of the best methods for 

 such a province-wide survey and the 

 ends to be attained were carried on 

 by Messrs. Leavitt, W. N. Millar, 

 R. B. Miller, Dwight, Ellis, Roberts 

 and AVilson. 



It was reported that about fifteen 

 per cent, of the Society's member- 

 ship was either at the front or had 

 enlisted, a showing which probably 

 cannot be equalled by any other 

 profession. 



After a very enjoyable evening 

 and a vote of thanks to Mr. R. H. 

 Campbell, the meeting adjourned. 



University of New Brunswick 

 Dr. Jones and Prof. Miller were 

 in Ottawa, January 18th, 19th and 

 20th, the former attending the ses- 

 sions of the Conservation Commis- 

 sion and the latter the annual meet- 

 ing of the Canadian Society of For- 

 est Engineers and the Canadian 

 Forestry Association. 



An interesting letter has been re- 

 ceived from Robert K. Shives, of 

 the class of 1913, who is now with 

 the Royal Flying Corps, Panmure 

 Barracks, Montrose, Scotland. Shi- 

 ves is enjoying the work and is get- 

 ting to be an expert in the plotting 

 of sky topography, cruising, and tak- 

 ing elevations with the aneroid. 



Hayward Kinghorn, of the class 

 of 1911, formerly Forest Assistant 

 at Hazelton, B.C., was here during 

 the holidays, leaving in companv 

 with Bruce Dixon to enlist at Mon- 

 treal, probably going from there to 

 take a qualifying course in artillery 

 at Kingston. Harold C. Belyea, also 



of the class of 1911, was here on 

 January 3rd on his way to New 

 Haven where he will this spring 

 complete the work for his Master's 

 degree in Forestry at the Yale For- 

 est School. 



Mr. James Smart, lately from 

 Kamloops, B.C., of Lacliine, Quebec, 

 is taking a special course in Fores- 

 try to more fully equip himself for 

 work with the Dominion Forestry 

 Branch with which he has been en- 

 gaged for the past three years in the 

 construction of trails and telephone 

 lines, and other practical work. 



The Junior class suffers in the loss 

 of Aliles Gibson and Chris Arm- 

 strong who are taking a qualifying 



course at Kingston. 



C. E. Maimann, R. D. Jago, James 

 Burns, Leland Webb and J. Edwin 

 Hall, of the Senior class in Forestry, 

 spent the Christmas vacation in of- 

 fice work with Mr. Reginald R. 

 Bradley, of St. John. Robert Mel- 

 rose, a special student of last year, 

 was also in the same party. 



Use Canadian Woods Only 



In order to encourage the use 

 of Canadian hard-woods for in- 

 terior decoration. Lord Shaugh- 

 nessy has issued instructions to 

 use nothing but Canadian forest 

 products in the sleeping, parlor, 

 dining and observation cars in 

 the offices and hotel buildings 

 of the Canadian Pacific Rail- 

 ways. 



This decision was made only 

 after careful consideration and 

 experiment. Lord Shaughnessy 

 has had samples of all Canadian 

 hardwoods treated at the Angus 

 Shops in Montreal, where sel- 

 ected specimens were tested 

 with polishes, stains, etc., and 

 the results showed that Cana- 

 dian woods compared very fav- 

 orably with imported varieties.
