estry association, has just returned
from the West and left for Peace river
following two months trip over the
lines of the Canadian National rail-
ways between Edmonton and Prince
Rupert
BY the operation of the car the
dominion government hopes to achieve
direction of reforestati0n Of burnt
over areas and at the same time to
instruct townspeople, and others In
more remote communities, in the care
and protection of their forests.
The line of the Canadian National
westward from Edmonton to the Pa,
cific port of Prince Rupert, runs
through heavily wood territory,
threading its way along the Fraser.
the Buckley and the Skeena rivers.
This Is a country which owes Its
beauty as much to the heavy green
forests which cover it as to the noun
tains with which 1t Is hemmed. The
increasing tourist traffic. coupled with
numbering and ranching activities, rem
ders fire a real peril.
During their stay in British Colum

ear, accompanied lately by George
Harcourt. representing the University
Of Alberta, held 351 meetings in the
interests of forestry preservation. II
is estimated that $4,000 persons at

dyke, which lie between the north
coast of Ireland and Barra Head, in
the South Hebridean islands, a steam
trawler had a thrilling fight with a
shoal of sharks. The trawler con-

carries a crew of %, in addition to a
Fleetwood trawlerman, Skipper John
Wright, who is sailing in the vessel
as fishing pilot.
"During our voyage" Skipper
Wright explained when the Castelnan
returned to Fleetwood, 1--WE came

They completely surrounded our boat
and bit huge holes in our net, and 1t
was only with the utmost difficulty
that we could haul it in. As night

Paris Approves
Simplicity for
Summer Wear

BIZ United Press
PARIS, Feb. 4.-Parisian dress
makers, learning which way the
money blows. have decreed simple
styles for summer attire on the the
Dry that American women are not
interested in frills.
Most of the designers long since
have worked with the American
mSrket in mind. That is why the
current trends depict little change.
The gowns are about the same
length and the belt line is still
rather low and not apparent.
Silks will be popular for summer
wear, mostly in pastel shades with
green and blue favored. One Of the
novelties to attract American buyers
is hand-painted silk, the designs
drawn by pen or fine brush.
Science has come to the aid of
buyers who now frequently take
photographs to the showing A pic
ture is sent to London by airplane
and then wireIessed by the telephoto
process to New York. The buyer
meanwhile cables a description.
Experts in New York can copy
the dress within two hours, SO that
if such speed were essential, a dress
draped on a Paris Mannikin for the
morning parade could be duplicated
and worn to a Park Ave. tea the
same afternoon.
