But researchand development is just as im- portant to our province's resource industries as it is to spaceage manufacturing. For example, computers at the Ministry of Natural Resources' Ontario Centre for Remote Sen- sirig are using satellite data to draw up "treasure maps" that portray a wide range of resources. The computers pick up radiation patterns given off by specific resources in the satellite data and then sort this data into color-coded groups representing vegetation, water or minerals. The computers then draw up a detailed 16-color computer map that accurately shows where forests and peat bogs are located. More important, these maps portray geological formations that could in- dicate the presence of specific minerais - even oil. Maps from the Ontario Centre for Remote Sen- sing are already in great demand by government and private interest alike. In fact, these maps have impressed an international audience, with the results that representatives of other governments are coming to Ontario to see how our system works. In Timmins, computers are also being put to work at the regional forest fire control centre to predict fire hazards. The computer is fed information on past weather and fire occurrences in the area around Timmins. Within seconds the computer can list potential fire hazards when the local situation matches up with the stored data. Over the next three years, the type of computer system working in Timmins will be installed in ail six regional fire centre throughout the province. The computer system will help pin-point danger spots that will allow the ministry to speed a fire prevention crew to the right location. Also in Timmins, the northern forest technology development unit is studying ways of creating genetically superior types of black spruce and jack pine. These trees are the backbone of our province's pulp and paper industry. Establishing seed farms and green houses will help specialists create a superior tree that will flower early and have ail the properties needed by lumber companies. Also in the north, ministry experts outside of Cochrane are draining 400 hectares of peatland east of the town. By removing some of the water from this area, the experts hope to turn a bog into a rich growing area that will provide accelerated growth for a newly-planted spruce forest. Normally it takes nearly a century for a spruce forest to mature. High technology is not just a means for manufac- turing and service industries to improve the way they do business. High technologies are helping On- tario keep in step with demand for natural resour- ces. A big plus to our provinces economic future.
