NORTH LEEDS LANTERN TOMORROW'S FORESK . .. MORE THAN HOOD COMES FROM TREES TODHY‘S (NRLLENGE ..ave you ever given thought to how the quality of everyday life is enhanced by forests?The importance of Canada's forest resources cannot be overâ€"emphasized. The variety of wood fibre based products that we use every day is astounding. Forests, and the products produced from them, are essential for our survival and well being.lt has been estimated that our need for wood fibre is almost as great as our need for food. Almost every day we use, or are in contact with, some forest product. If you are in doubt of this statement, you are probably not familiar with 50me of the uses of forest prooucts. Aside from home construction and furniture making, the most identifiable use for wood is in the making of paper products. In Canada, the pulp and paper industry is one of the largest employers. Canadian mills produce approximately 8 million tons of newprint annually. This represents nearly l/3 of the world's supply. The new5print produced here in Canada is of a very high quality. Wood pulp is the term given to a mixture of broken down wood fibres, water and bleaching agents. Besides newsprint, it. is also the basis for products such as fine paper, bags, wrapping paper, tissues and packaging, When you win}; about it, nearly c very product that we as consumers purchase is packaged in some from of paper. Extracts from wood pulp include oils and turpentines. These products form the base far many paints, soaps and polishes. good pulp can be further broken down into its two ..'.a_in components, cellulose and lignin. cellulose can be further utilized in products such as . rayon, cellophane, artificial hair I and bristles (for brushes), sausage casing, imitation le ather , s h atter proof glass, and photographic film, just to name a few. Lignin is used to produce plastics, vanillin, leather tanning compounds and soil Conditioners. This is just a short list of products that have a wood component. As you can see, our forests provide a lot more than just wood. This is why it is important for us , as foresters and citizens, to take an active role in management of our forest resource. If you still think that forest management is someone else's business, just pause to think the next time you use your camera.

The children enjoyed participating in Circle Time with new songs relating to this theme; Head & Shoulders, Happy and You Know It, and Hokey Pokey. Appropriate to the month of February, the children spent considerable time making a variety of Valentine crafts, as well as learning about St. Valentine. In honour of Valentine's Day a party was held on February 15 allowing the children to exchange valentines and enjoy festive cookies and cakes. The junior class was treated to a visit from Craig Campbell, who enjoyed making boats with the little ones, as part of the discussion of "Transportation".
