Rossport - Log Rafting by ANNE TODESCO It was a common sight a few years ago to watch huge rafts of logs being towed past here by tugs to the mills. Now they are only a memory as _ the logs are being trans- ported by trucks over the highways. The rafts appeared to be slowly moving along guided by the tugs with the captains and lum- bering officials praying that the weather would keep in their favour until they reached their desti- nation. Heavy seas dur- ing a storm often scat- tered the logs far and wide on shore or over the lake. Beachcombers would be engaged to salvage the logs and an- chor them in some shel- tered bay until tugs could hook on to the boom logs and _ take Ring in the New Year from 6 p.m. til 1 a.m. with our NEW YEAR'S DINNER & DANCE Complimentary cocktail hour Roast beef dinner (with wine) Music by CFNO's NICK DESHANE Pri Din 2 $50 OFT on oor couple Dance Schreiber Recreation Complex ADVANCE TICKET SALES FRIDAY, NOV. 18, 1983 7 P.M. at SCHREIBER PUBLIC SCHOOL Sponsored by the Schreiber Kinsmen them finally to the mills. It was quite an accom- plishment for the tug captains and their crews to manoeuvre these large rafts of several thousand logs or cords of wood through straits and narrows to open water. It was a common sight during the spring to fall seasons, to see . the rafts being towed past our village. Some- times the men aboard the tugs would run or skip over the logs in the raft. It was quite an accomplishment but hair raising to anyone wat- ching the exercise for fear they would slip off the logs. They usually carried a long pike pole with them. Often they could be seen splashing, when caught between the logs in the raft. price per couple *30
