(Cont'd from P,1) staff includes 19 trained foresters, in both operating and top administrative work, They believo that the enterprise will be first in the history of Canadian Lumbcring operations to have available xt the start a complete forestry staff with the pre-assignod responsibility of using not only sound cutting practices, but of planning on a long-term furest management basis, from nursery to wood harvesting, The Company further explained that their decision to build the mill was reached only after careful study by government agents and themselves had shown that there is sufficient saw timber of proper species ' and size gn the assigned limits to support continuing operetion. This clement, they foel, is 2 major considerntion. Some of the difficulties of the Ontario lumbering industry in the past have resulted from the failure of operators and concessionaires to plan for long-term stocks of saw timber, This has resulted in the pmrtial idleness or failure of some mills. For nearly ten years, the LongLac orga- nization has been supplying much of the needs of lumber and timber users in the area. mong these have been the mining companies in the Geraldton area, the rail- roads, ,and the Ontario Hydro Commission. These will continue to be served by the new mill, together with new customers elsewlere in the Province, As part of the plans} the Company intonds eventually to transfer some of the men and machinery from-its portable mills to the LongLec townsite areca. In discussing the relations of its forestry program to the new mill, the Company points to several particular advan- tages to be gained, They have worked on experimental methods to protect advanced young growth in the cutting areas, and have _. tried spreading slash and cones on RTL LS cry areas to obtain natural regeneration. These steps are directed at encouraging reproduction, especially of the more desirable commercial species for future use, 4n additional advantage to the forest resources of the area is the fact that LongLac personmel are organized and equipped to aid and supplement the fire prevention and control work of the Department of Lands and Forests crews. 4S a pert of the program, new houses and dormitories will be constructed at Longlac to furnish needed accomodations for new personnel, The townsite has been provided with all the requirements of modern living, (Cont'd on P.6)
