NOT SOMETHING NEW

As Bert Styffe, President of the Thunder Bay Timber Operators Association, remarked in his Report to the Annual Meeting (Log Book, January 1950 ):..."It is regrettable that some citizens from time to time have been making public remarks which have tended to disparage the accomplishments of the industry and the forest administration in general. This district, more than ever, is dependent upon the continuance of a high level of production in the woods. A great deal has been contributed to the level of our economy by the volume of work performed in the woods. This is a great and important industry and certainly we could only ask that those who wish to criticize the methods used, base their conclusions upon solid fact and that the criticism be constructive."
