What would vou think of flood- 

 ing the mines of Canada and turn- 

 ing the workmen adrift? 



Forest fires are burning out the 

 mainstay of industries pouring forth 

 $54,000,000 a year in excess of all our 

 mines. 



A Job for tlie Reader. 



What, then, can a taxpayer do? 



Incorporate this forest protection 

 business as an immediate personal 

 interest. 



Don't let your own hands ever be- 

 come responsible for setting a forest 

 in flames. 



Examine your provincial and fed- 

 eral forest guarding systems. Are 

 they dealing squarely with the 

 country's priceless forests? Most of 

 them surely are not. Inform your 

 local members of the legislature and 

 Commons that you are a Conserva- 

 tionist, that you demand progressive 

 forest administration. 



Tell them you believe in a ranger 

 staft of competent men, thoroughly 

 supervised in their field work — and 

 tell them you do not believe in turn- 

 ing over the vast trust of forest 

 wealth to a batch of appointees, hav- 

 ing no permanence in their jobs, 

 badly inspected and rendering sec- 

 ond-class service. Tell them the 

 forests of Canada belong to 1988 as 

 much as to 1916 or 1855. 



Rest assured, you speak the only 

 argument worthy of a patriot. 



Mr. Jean J. Guay. a 1913 graduate 

 of Laval Forest School and for some 

 time attached to the Quebec forest 

 service, is meeting with success as 

 assistant to Mr. W. F. \'. Atkinson, 

 Chief Forester of the Spanish River 

 Pulp and Paper Company. Air. Guay 

 is stationed at Sault Ste. Marie.
