ERNEST MacNEIL AND MRS. Canada's Depe ndence WILLIAM CAMERON SHOW THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, Mey 11, 1960 3 5 PAINT SECTION. On Products Of Tree In Canada, we seldom stop to ¢hink of, or appreciate, our de- pendence on wood. Wood has al- ways been and still is, one of the most useful raw materials, from which a wide variety of articles of everyday use are manufactur- ed. We rise each morning from a wooden bed and step on bo a wooden floor; open a wooden door, go down wooden stairs, We git in a wooden chair by a wooden table, work at a wooden desk, take up a wooden pencil, and write on paper made from wood, receive telephone calls from wires carried on wooden poles. | We smoke a wooden pipe and | light #& with wooden matches. This story might be extended almost indefinitely and could embrace uses running into the thousands. Many factors have contributed to the continued usefulness and be bent.

To the early settler, in- terested primarily in clearing land on which to grow food, the forests presented an obstacle, but at the same time an oppor- tunity. They provided abundant timber for homes, materials for the construction of ships, and a valuable commodity for export to England, France and other countries for sale or exchange for clothing materials, sugar, tea, coffee, and other amenities of life not available in Canada. Canada is usually fortunate in being supplied by nature with the kinds of trees best suited to meet the needs of civilization. These are mainly the coniferous or softwood species--pine, spruce, hemlock, fir, cedar, larch, ete. tesa A -------------------------------- ee -- Added to this, our climate pro- vides growing conditions so sat- isfactory that im most regions, if fire is kept out, there need be no fear of not securing a second growth of young trees after a cutting. HUGE SUPPLY | Our supplies of valuable soft- wood a re so large that it has been possible to develop a large and valuable export trade in forest products. Indeed, our forest in- dustries contribute more to the production of wealth in Canada than anything else except agri- culture. Besides the softwood, Canada hag many valuable hard- woods, of which birch, elm, maple, ash, beech, are the most important. We can supply all our own requirements, except for a few furniture woods, of which native supplies are no longer adequate, and tropical woods such as mahogany. The conversion of raw mater- ials from the forest into articles useful to man is carried out in Canada by two major industries-- the lumber industry and the pulp industry. The lumber industry has existed from the earliest days of settlement and has long been woven into the pattern of Can- adian life. The pulp and paper industry is an industrial giant that has attained its, strength and growth since the turn of the century. Today it is the greatest manufacturing industry, NN DID YOU KNOW? Canada's first paper mill was established in 1805 in St. Am drews, a little village near La- chute, Quebec. A mill built near Toronto in 1826 was the first ia Canada to have a paper making machine. Paper at that time was made from old rags. In 1864 at Windsor Mills in Quebec, wood was first used in a chemical pulping process. A second mill im 1869 at Valleyfield, Quebec, was the first in Canada to produce groundwood pulp by pressing logs against' a grindstone. By 1900 Canada had more than 5 pulp and paper mills in Canada located from coast to coast. In 1916 forest fires in the vicine ity of Porcupine, Ontario, caused the deaths of at least 224 people, your present home. doy aeons OSHAWA WOOD PRODUCTS LTD.
