E. Liersch, head of the Department, and\nare now in the hands of President MacKenzie for his\nconsideration.\nDraft plans for a separate forest building have already been\nmade, but as yet the necessary funds have not been allotted.\nThe new curriculum is designed\nto spread forestry subjects throughout the %four years instead of\ncrowding most of them into the\nfifth and final year as at present.\nChief revisal is the establishment\nof a fourth option, a chemical\nwood products course.\nANATOMICAL WOOD\nIn this option, the student will\nreceive a thorough training ln\nforestry, with special reference to\nthe growth characteristics and\nanatomical structure of wood, and\na firm grounding In chemistry.\nDuring the past two years, Chief\nJustice Sloan has been conducting\nan inquest into the condition of\nForestry and the Forest Industries\nin BC. Just a few days ago, his\nrecommendations based on an exhaustive Inquiry were presented\nto the Government.\nFACULTY ESTABLISHED\nThe recommendation most vitally\naffecting the University is that\ndealing with the establishment of\na separate Faculty of Forestry,\nand a general strengthening of the\nForestry curriculum.\nThe report, submitted by Prof.\nLiersch, deals with these very\npoints and calls for a more uniform\ncurriculum for all Forestry students In their lower years, with\noptions to specialize in four differ,\nent branches of Forestry in their\nupper years.\nBACK TO THE RUSH\nOf equal Importance will be the\nestablishment of a Spring Session\nof from three to six weeks at the\nUniversity Research Forest at Pitt\nLake, where practical forest problems will be studied ln forest\ngrowth, sustained yield and timber\ncruising.\nThe four options to be offered\nare headed by Forest Engineering,\nin which students will enroll in the\nFaculty of Applied Science, as at\npresent. In this option the first\ntwo years will be the same as In\nthe past, with changes in the 3rd,\n4th and 5th years.\nReplacing the present Botany\noption, will be a curriculum in\nTechnical Forestry, where the\nstudents will start their forestry\nWork in second year, taking seven\nunits of forestry in third year, with\nsix units of botany and three units\nin an optional subject.\nIn the fourth and fifth years they\nwill go into straight forestry\ncourses, together with forest botany\nand entomology.\nADMINISTRATION OFFERED\nA third option will be Forest\nBusiness Administration. This\ncurriculum is identical with the\nTechnical Forestry course in the\nfirst years. In the last year however, students following this option,\ninstead of receiving instruction in\nadvanced courses in silviculture,\nmensuration and management will\ntake four commerce subjects. /'\nThis option is designed to replace\nthe present combined Commerce-\nForestry course, training men for\nthe business aspect of the Forest\nIndustries.\nDebaters' Duel\nLooms On Campus\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 UNDETERRED by the pros-\npect of a duel in the offing,\nGordon Martin, LPP leader on the\ncampus, has accepted CCF leader\nBob Harwood's challenge to \"defend in debate the formation of\npolitical clubs at UBC.\"\nIn Thursday's Ubyssey, Harwood\ncharged that the formation of political parties at UBC would bring\nprofessional politicians and party\nstooges to the oampus, masquerading as students.\nHe went on to say that, since\nthe provocation was his, the\n\"choice of weapons\" was also his.\nWeapons have not yet been specified, but It is thought that they\nwill consist of volumes of \"Das\nKapital\" to be hurled at twenty\npaces.\nIn accepting the challenge, Martin declared that he was prepared\nto debate under the conditions\nproposed in the Ubyssey and waa\n\"pleased to support the argument\nfoi freedom of political organization.\"\nHarry Castillou, leader of the\nLiberal Party in the Parliamentary Forum, stated in an exclusive\none-minute interview that his\nparty has definitely no intention of\nattempting to form a Liberal club\non the campus.\nWHIDBEY WHIRL\nAFTER GAME\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 FEEL LIKE dancing?

Other recommendations, such as\ngreater protection of cut over land to prevent\nrecurring fires, have long been recognized\nas essential for sound forest practice.\nBut a report to the Government is not\nlegislation. The condition of the forests of\nBritish Columbia is no better now than it\nwas before the start of the investigation.\nThe public in general and particularly\ninterested persons and the Government, are\nmore, fully cognizant of the facts as they\nexist, but much thought and careful consideration remains yet to be given this\nsubject before we are on the road to better\nforest practices. Fortunately the Government has stated on several occasions that\nthe findings of the Royal Commission will\nbe implemented.\nHow does this affect any portion of the\nstudent body at the university?\nIt is well known that some 40-odd cents\nout of every dollar of income in the Province is derived from the forest resources.\nThe continuation of the productive capacity\nof forest land means the continued prosperity\nof British Columbians on a scale to or\npossibly greater than that enjoyed at present\nor in the past.\nIt does not follow that Government income\nwill be maintained or increased also. The\nimplication of the Report is that a larger\nportion of Provincial Revenue from forests\nmust be re-invested in keeping healthy the\ngoose that lays the golden eggs in order\nthat there will be a goose in future and a\ncontinued production of golden eggs.\nThus, for a number of years, the direct\nrevenue to the Government may be smaller\nthan it has been in the past, but if forest\nlands are kept continuously productive the\nincome will be enjoyed in perpetuity.\nThe effect of the Report upon the profession of forestry, especially when implemented by legislation, will be far\nreaching. Without doubt a great increase in\nthe number of trained foresters will be\nrequired in silviculture, in forest management, in tree planting, in forest engineering\nand surveys of all types, and in fire protection. Much more attention will have to\nbe given to insect infestations and fungus\ndiseases. Research in all phases of Forestry\nwill need to be increased to provide answers\nto the many pressing problems which will\npresent themselves.\nNaturally the profession will look to the\nUniversity for trained men. It is not to be\nexpected that the University will supply\nprofessional foresters or forest%experts who\nrequire years of practical experience following graduation, but it will train young men\nin the fundamental sciences, mathematics,\neconomics, engineering and basic forestry\nsubjects which are the tools-in-trade of the\nforester.\nHowever, it would be a mistake to assume\nthat all these opportunities will develop at\nonce and in the immediate future. Progress\nin forestry will be slow. It will take a\ndecade to put some of the simplest forest\npractices into effect and possibly several to\nattain a reasonable assurance of sustained\nyield for the whole Province.\nLikewise the demand for trained men will\nbuild up gradually. Before making the\ndecision to obtain a degree in Forestry,\nstudents should consult sources of sound\nadvice and be certain that they are suited\nfor the profession in the matter of temper-\nment, taste and physique.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094By F. Malcolm Knapp.\nTHE FOREST MUMMERY\nBy JABEZ\nTHE LOGGING INDUSTRY is primarily\nfor cutting trees. When it has cut enough\ntrees it throws them in the water and they\nare washed up on the beach and make swell\nplaces for beach-fires. We should all, therefore, admire the logging industry and prevent forest fires, which annoy it very much.\nThe first thing needed for a logging industry is a forest, preferably a forest of trees.\nTrees have, on the whole, been found to\nmake the best lumber, and every effort\nshould be made to start a logging industry\nin a region where there are trees.\nLOGGING FOR BEGINNERS\nTrees are usually found by a man called\na surveyor, who goes out with his dog and\nfinds all the trees you want by keeping away\nfrom cities and highways. The dog has been\nfound invaluable for this purpose, and has\nhis own sleeping quarters, called a pup-tent.\nOnce a tree has been found, a man with\na Swedish accent is sent out to cut it down.\nThis man, known as a \"faller,\" can easily be\nidentified by the fact that he yells \"timber!\"\njust before the tree falls down.\nUnfortunately, if you are close enough\nto a faller to hear him yell \"timber!\" you\nwill probably be killed by the tree when it\nfalls down. This is known as workman's\ncompensation and is quite popular.\nBesides his axe and his Swedish accent,\nthe faller must take along a friend who is a\n\"bucker.\" This man saws the big tree, once\nit is felled, into a lot of little trees, making\nit look like more and fooling the company.\nDONKEY SERENADE\nWherever the faller and bucker go they\nare followed by a donkey. This donkey pulls\nitself along by means of a line attached to a\nwinch. By turning the winch, the line shortens until the donkey is fairly close to the\ntree. Then some more men, called \"chokermen,\" approach the tree and choke it with\na line attached to the winch of the donkey.\nWhen they think they have choked the tree\nenough, the chokermen shout at a little man\nsitting on a stump.\nThe little man is the \"whistle punk,\" and\nwhen the chokermen shout at him he hoots\nhis whistle back at them and the winch\nstarts revolving furiously, bringing the tree\ncloser to the donkey, and probably rolling\nover one of the chokermen, providing more\nworkman's compensation, which is appreciated by all concerned.\nThe donkey keeps turning its winch until\nthe tree has been hauled up to what is\ncalled a \"coldeck pile.\" This consists of a\nlarge number of trees heaped together so\nthat they can be taken away. Here, another\ndonkey, much larger than the first and with\na considerable number of winches revolving\nwith steam coming out of the ends, is\nbrought up. By now the loggers are all\nexcited to see what will happen next.\nFirst the tree is loaded onto a flat-car by\nthe first loader and the second loader. The\nfirst loader is the loader whoigets killed\nfirst when the winches toss around the logs.\nThe second loader is only allowed to get\nkilled after the first loader, and therefore\nreceives less pay.\nDuring this operation, the donkey becomes\nso excited turning its winches that it gives\noff sparks. To counteract this, it is necessary to hire a \"spark-chaser,\" who chases\nthe spark into the woods until one or the\nother is extinguished.\nWhen the tree has been placed on the\nflatcar, it becomes a log. This is made\nofficial by a \"scaler,\" a man who climbs up\non the loads and measures the logs in board\nfeet. When the locomotive engineer thinks\nthe scaler has measured enough board feet,\nhe starts the train, throwing the scaler off\nthe loads and usually killing him. Besides\nthe workman's compensation involved, this\nhelps to amuse the locomotive engineer and\nprepare him for the arduous journey ahead.\nDuring the trip, the logs depend for their\nwelfare upon two men who sit on top of\nthe last load of logs with their knees crossed.\nThese are known as \"brakemen,\" or\n\"brakies,\" and it is their function to annoy\nthe locomotive as much as possible. They\ndo this by jumping off the train, seizing\nswitches, and forcing the locomotive into a\nsiding. They then wave their arms at one\nanother until the locomotive is obliged to go\nto the back of the train in disgrace. The\ntrain then starts off again with the locomotive 'tamely pushing, instead of pulling and\nfuming at the,sight of the two \"brakies\"\nnow sitting on top of the front load, with\ntheir knees crossed.\nROUGH WATER NEEDED\nThus, when the locomotive reaches the\nsea, it is in an excellent mood to hurl all the\nlogs into the water and stalk back into the\nwoods in a huff. What the locomotive\ndoesn't know, of course, is that this is exactly\nwhat the company wants it to do. For, as\nsoon as the locomotive has gone, a number\nof men appear on the logs, and start sticking\nthem with sharp poles to see if they are\nripe.\nThese are the \"boommen,\" whose job\nconsists chiefly of staying on the logs without falling into the water. At this point,\nanother scaler appears to see whether the\ndead scaler up in the woods has correctly\ncounted the number of board feet in the logs.\nUnfortunately, this scaler is maintained\nby the government and the company cannot\nkill him off. Unless, of course, there is a\nchange in the government, in which case\nthe company can obtain permission without\nmuch difficulty.\nFinally, a tug comes into the bay to take\naway all the logs that have been found to be\nripe and showing the proper number of\nboard feet. When it is a suitable distance\nout to sea, the tug is struck by a sharp storm,\nlosing most of its logs, which are washed up\non the beaches, where they are quickly\ndemolished by a swarm of beach parties.\nBeauty-On-The-Sp\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ON BUSES AND IN THE CAF frequently I hear the\nview expressed that it is useless and wasteful for girls\nto go to university because, after graduation, they only get\nmarried. Although the fact that all university girls get\nmarried may well be questioned also, I intend to present\nsome ideas to refute the opinion of the futility of a higher\neducation for women.\nFirst of all, is education's only\npurpjse to enable an Individual\nto get a job and make some money? Many criticise the girl who\nreceives her diploma, only to set\nit aside to assume the role of marriage. Has she wasted her four\nyears at university? I am convinced that she has not, for thc\nadvantages' of education cannot be\nmeasured in remunerative terms\nalone.\nCOMMON INTERESTS\nNECESSARY\nFundamental to a successful\nmarriage is the common interest\nBARBARA SMITH\nand understanding on the part of\nthe two partners. With the opportunities of university education\noffered to so many men, university life, personal friends, and\nprofessors can serve as a mutual\nbond. This fact I think is even\nmore important these days when\nso many boys will be spending\nfour of five years of their lives at\nuniversities.\nTwo sociologists, Burgess and\nCdttrell, point out that marital\nhappiness is favored by having a\nhigh level of formal education. I\nthink that the reason for this is\napparent. With a good education\na girl is potentially capable of becoming financially secure and of\nobtaining a more Interesting occupation. Therefore she obviously\nwould consider more carefully\ngiving up this type of life than\nwould a girl who was earning a\nlow wage at a tedious job. From\nstudies of marriage, boredom and\na desire for security, as reasons,\nfor marriage, appear more frequently in the lower income\ngroups. In addition love and a desire for companionship are fostered by tolerance and an unprejudiced attitude \u00E2\u0080\u0094 the basic aims\nof education.\nVARSITY AIDS MATURITY\nPersonal enjoyment, I feel, is\none of the main advantages of a\nuniversity education. Your personal contacts with other people\nof your own age group, the wide\nchoice for participation in club\nactivity and the social life offered\nare valuable in your adjustment\nas a mature adult. The advantages of an excellent library and\nthe introduction one receives to\nvarious Melds of reading cannot\nbe forgotten.\nToday, basic economics and history are necessary to read a newspaper intelligently. Since women\nhave been given the right to vote\nand take paTt ln civic affairs, I\nthink that It is essential that they\nunderstand the democratic principles of government, participation\nin which is offered in campus government and club activities.\nIn addition, a woman who is the\nwife of a prominent leader in a\ncommunity, is expected to meet\nher husband's associates and be\nable to discuss intelligently situations of community and world importance. A woman without an\nintelligent far-sighted view, is\nmore apt to jeopardize her husband's position by Illogical\nopinions.\nTraining in a profession or specialized field, attainable at university, is a form of insurance for\nany girl. If at any time it becomes necessary for a girl to earn\nher own living, training and education facilitates financial independence.\nGRANDMA'S DAY\nPerhaps many of the men hold\nup as the ideal wife the old-\nfashioned girl who \"sat on a cushion and sewed a fine seam.\" However, science and cook books have\nmade lt possible for a modern\nwife to provide more than a good\nmeal and entertainment. Through\nthe oportunities of education, a\nwoman can now be, in addition, a\ncompanion and consultant. I have\ntasted many good pies and chocolate cakes cooked by a so-called\neducated woman. However, to\nachieve superiority with a vacuum\ncleaner or a cook book, she did\nnot have to spend fourteen hours\na day.\nIf the value and achievements of\neducation cease when u girl mar.\nries, why permit girls to go to\npublic school or even to kindergarten?\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Barbara Smith\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 NEXT WEEK'S Beauty-on-the-\nSpot ls Lorna Shields.

Blinyan By Harry Castillou\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 PAUL WAS BORN in the State of Maine and the stork\nexpired from a state of exhaustion.\nPaul was anchored in his cradle off the coast of Maine.\nSeven warships were sunk trying to awaken him. At the\nage of two, Paul built Niagara Falls so he could take a\nshower bath.\nPaul dug the Great Lakes to\nmake a water hole for Babe, his\ngreat blue ox. Babe's feet caused\nthe 10,000 lakes and Iron mines of\nMinnesota.\nWhile down south, Paul got\nlonesome for white snow so he invented cotton. He would sit and\nsmoke his pipe down in Missouri,\nwhile he worked out his problems. These mountains are now\ncalled \"The Old Smokies.\"\nThe Mississippi was caused by\na leak in one of his water wagons,\nin deepening the river the dirt\nthrown at one spot formed the\nAllegheny Mountains. Paul worked so fast he threw dirt in two\ndirections at once. Chris Cross-\nhaul drove the wrong logs down\nthis river. To get them Paul fed\nBabe salt pork and the ox sucked\n.them back, logs and all.\nBunyan's briny tears filled Salty\nLake with its salty water. His\nmen cooled their axes in this, thus\ncausing the hot springs of Dakota.\nPaul's dinner horn was so big\nthat the first time it was blown\nten acres of land were cleared. In\nthe land of the atonewood trees\nhe invented the two edged axe\nthat sharpened on the back swing.\nWhen Bunyan was out for a\nwalk he dragged his heavy hook\nafter him digging the Grand Canyon. Puget Sound was excavated,\nbut It filled up with water so it\ncouldn't be used.\nWhen they wanted* to move to a\nnew location Babe was hitched to\nthe whole camp.

G. S. ALLEN\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \"THE TIME HAS COME\" the walrus said \"to speak of\nmany things\". This may be considered tke key note\nof the recent Royal Commission hearings on forestry. Many\nthings were said\u00E2\u0080\u0094enough to fill some twenty-four volumes\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand the gist of the findings is that an inadequate part of the\ndirect provincial revenues from the forests has been returned\nto them to ensure their continued productivity.\nHie more optimistic have high \u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00C2\u00BB\nhopes that Chief Justice Sloan's\nrecommendations will be translated into definite action, that our\nforests will be regarded in fact as\nwell as in theory as a renewable\nresource, and that our good forest\nacres will receive \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 new deal. If\nincreased funds are forthcoming,\nhow' soon can a first class forestry\nprogram be put into effect?\nRESEARCH SMALL\nTo date little real forestry has\nbeen practiced in British Columbia; the knowledge we have has\nbeen obtained by experience and\nby research on a very limited\nscale. And yet, within the next\nyear or two, the foresters of the\nprovince likely will be given unlimited support to establish a new\npolicy and to show how forestry\ncan be put into effect.\nIn other words, tha forester nay\nbe told to get going on this forestry program for which he has\nbeen crying. Unfortuna|tely, he\nmay know neither where' to begin\nnor how to get going. Forestry\nwill be seriously handicapped,\ntherefore, during the next chpede\nbecause of the lack of c& fhttn-\nsive research program during the\npast.\nObviously, immediate attention\nshould be given to setting up\nstudies on various logging operations in the different forest regions. Co-operation between the\nBritish Columbia Forest Service\nand the industry in experimentation oiv a large scale by the best\nmen available, is much to be desired.\nFOREST BIOLOGY\nAlthough research efforts in\nsilviculture may be concerned in\nobtaining a maximum of natural\nregeneration following logging,\nmany other problems should be\nIncluded in the program. Very little is known of the biology of the\nforest, of the site requirements of\nour important species, and even\nof their life cycles and seeding\nhabits; all of these are important\nin natural regeneration.\nThe great possibilities offered by\nthe development of strains of native trees through selection of\nseed and plants and by controlled\nbreeding have not been realized.\nIt can be said truthfully that wa\nknow almost nothing about the\ngenetics of our forest trees.\nRESEARCH FUNDS\nIt seems obvious that a substantial part of the funds available\nshould be allocated to- research in\norder that a sound basis for forestry practice may be set up.\nBefore many of the recommendations of the Royal Commission\ncan be put into practice \u00E2\u0080\u0094 effectively, Intelligently ,and on a large\nscale it will be necessary to discover how the funds can best be\nused to perpetuate the forest\nwealth of British Columbia.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 LETTERS To The Editor\nDear Madam:\nJudging by the difficulty one has\nin fighting through the crowd to\nsecure a copy of the Ubyssey, the\nstudent body reads it.

I liked especially \"Poking in the Debris, South\nKensington\" in the London group;\n\"The Pink House, Mousehole\" and\nthe two of \"Lamorna Cove\" in the\nCornish things.\nwho had to wait at a station between trains. They were hungry,\nand eventually, though without\nmuch hope, went into the station\ncafe to get something to eat. The\ncashier was a good Christian and\na good democrat and said OF\nCOURSE they couldn't eat there\nbut told them about a place where\nthey could. This waa three miles\naway and they protested that they\nwould not have time before their\ntrain. So finally they were told to\ngo back to the kitchen and they'd\ngive them something there. While\nthis conversation was in progress\na group of Nazi war-prisoners\nwere marched in, seated, and served, and the bitter speculations of\none of the negro soldiers on this\nexample of the democracy he was\nfighting for give point to the\nepisode.\nthree dollars and the many full\ncolor pages in its 172 make it well\nworth it,\nAnyone who like myself is mildly balletomanic may like to know\nthat a Russian-made film of the\nBallet is being shown during the\nVancouver Institute Meeting on\nSaturday at 8:15 In the university\nauditorium.\nNEW AWARDS AT UBC\nACCEPTED BY PRESIDENT\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 TWO NEW OFFERS to establish prizes for university\nstudents have been accepted by the President, Dr. N.

From that altitude,\nscience has been able to make an\ninteresting study of the sun and\nstars. In fact, the observatory soon\nwill become \"one of the most important research centres in the\nnation,\" ln the opinion of Dr. Walter C. Roberts, observatory director.\nDr. Roberts, Harvard astrophysicist, said that the observatory, which played a vital part in\nthe war, will soon be expanded to\nprovide for studies ln seismology,\nmeteorology and botany.\n\"We plan to build new telescopes\nand housings for astronomical\nequipment, with laboratory space\nfor cosmic ray instruments, and\nalso comfortable year-round quarters for the personnel,\" the scientist said. \"In addition, we plan to\nestablish a headquarters at the\nUniversity of Colorado here where\nan analysis, of observations can be\nundertaken.\"\nDr. Roberts' announcement revealed for the first time that the\nobservatory had taken a vitally\nsecret part In the war. He stated\nthat \"Important progress\" was\nmade in research dealing with the\nsun's effects on radio transmission\nand reception, and that the work\nwas continuing. Data gathered at\nthe observatory, he said, had\nhelped to form a basis for accurate\nprediction of quality of radio reception by the armed forces both\non the ground and in the air.\nClimax is famous as the site of\nthe world's largest deposit of molybdenum, a metallic element used\nin the hardening of steel.\nWAR MEMORIAL\nNEEDS NAMES\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 COMPILATION of the Honor\nRoll of UBC students is progressing satisfactorily, Ted Klrkpatrlck, member of the War Mem-\norlal committee stated.\nThe committee is at present\nmaking plans to obtain from the\nlist of BC casualties in Victoria, a\nlist of UBC students who have been\nkilled in World War II.\nThe War Memorial committee had\nhoped to receive reports from organizations which have records of\nmembers killed in action, but-there\nhas been little response.\nBecause every name and decoration] must be vouched for as\ncorrect, the Honor Roll will not\nbe ready before the end of this\nyear.\nPhysics Bldg. wever, scoring 19 points to Hedlund's 27.\nNorah McDermott, Pat Mcintosh,\nand Phebo Manley led Varsity\nwith eight each, while Kay Watson paced the winners with 18.\nThe UBC Intermediate A's absorbed a 40-11 drubbing at the\nhands of Shores ln the preliminary contest.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 PINT-SIZED HOOP GIANT\u00E2\u0080\u0094Whidbey Island's leading\nsharpshooter, Lloyd Morse, stands only 5 ft. 10 ins.,\nwhich is somewhat short in basketball circles.

All members of the Golf Club take note\nand be on hand for this meeting that will\nput UBC back on the Golf map.\nu-v\nThe same qualities that\nmake Turquoise the\nmatchless drawing pencil\nalso make it the smoothest, strongest and most\ndurable writing pencil\nfor personal and office\nuse that money can buy.\nTreat yourself to the\nworld's best Pencil value.\n10$ IACH\nlilt IN QUANTITIU\nMADE IN CANADA\nEAGLE\nI H \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 I \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 O H \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 I"@en .
