WHAT THE CANADIAN FORESTRY 
ASSOCIATION DOES. 
It maintains a Publicity Bureau supplying hundreds of 
daily and weekly newspapers with articles and illustrations 
telling chiefly about the wood-using industries and the 
need of guarding their supplies. 
It maintains a free service of effective newspaper 
cartoons putting a whole sermon in a nutshell; also a free 
illustration service to keep the forest guarding question 
before the people from every angle of interest. 
Gives numbers of free public lectures on forest topics. 
Supplies a series of “ready-prepared lectures’’ with sets of 
lantern slides to local speakers in many parts of the Do¬ 
minion. The same idea is being adopted for the use of 
school teachers with classes of children. 
The motion picture theatres in timbered districts are 
utilized to show forest protection cartoons between the 
reels. 
Influential public bodies such as Boards of Trade, 
farmers’ clubs, women’s clubs, etc., etc., are brought into 
direct touch with the forest protection campaign by the 
Association’s efforts with results of a far-reaching char¬ 
acter. 
Scores of thousands, of booklets in colors showing 
clearly that every citizen is a loser when timber goes up in 
smoke are placed in the hands of settlers and others. The 
Canadian Banks, Railroad Companies, and Forest Bran¬ 
ches undertake to distribute our special literature through 
their managers and agents. 
“The Canadian Forestry Journal,” an attractive illus¬ 
trated monthly of popular interest, is published at the As¬ 
sociation’s expense and is of undoubted value in the con¬ 
servation movement. 
National and provincial conventions are organized to 
discuss local and general forest problems. These events 
attract much interest, and exert a valuable influence. 
These are some of the concerns of the Canadian For¬ 
estry Association now in its seventeenth year with a 
membership of 3,500. 
It has no government affiliation whatever. It is an 
independent national institution. Financial support comes 
from voluntary sources alone.
