Free forestry films Interested groups can obtain a wide variety of films depict- ing B.C.'s forest industry. A detailed list and description of the films available on loan can be obtained by writing the Council of the Forest Industries of B.C., 1500-1055 West Hast- ings Street, Vancouver 1, B.C. Of particular interest to builders, building inspectors and students of the building trades are films on construction techniques, while conservation groups, outdoorsmen and nature lovers will enjoy films on for- estry techniques, silviculture and logging. Outstanding nature photography and remarkable sequences of: rarely pictured birds and animals are featured in some movies, and graphic scenes of forest fire havoc are shown in another film. Aspects of the forest industry such as marketing and transportation economics are studied in some films while others, like the man- ufacture and use of fir plywood throughout the world, are of general interest to all tastes and age groups. Moss can be removed from a shingle roof by spraying with a mixture of one part zine chloride with ten parts of wa- ter. Red Cedar shingles constitute the only form of roof covering that actually adds to the strength of the roof section. Joists and rafters of resilient Hem-Fir are unexcelled for the strong structural backbone' of wood frame buildings. Plywood web beams are light, efficient and easily assembled with nails, glue, or both, on site or in a factory.
