North from Terrace stretches
the scenic Kitsumkalum Valley.
This sixty-mile corridor has

‘ become an important artery for

the logging operators of Colcel’s

headquartered at Terrace, and
its harvesting crews in the Nass
Valley.

From the air, an observer

rising gently to meet the rocky
snow-clad peaks af the Coastal
Range. The dark blue waters of
Kitsumkalum Lake (usually
abbreviated to ‘‘Kalm"’) reflect
the surrounding mountains and
give a pleasant impression of
coolness during the heat-hazed
days of the northern summer,
In contrast to the snake-like

HOUSE TRAILER

aod is marked by billowing
tails of dust kicked up by the
wheels of giant trucks which
haul logs for Twinriver Timber.
These trucks haul from forest
clearings filled with the busy
chatter of chain. saws, the
thunder of falling trees and the
rcar. of heavy diesels. Near
Terrace.- their loads are
transferred to rail cars at the
busy Kalum Reload.

The Harl Farm sits in the.
centre of all this activity, at the
southern end of Kalum Lake.
Here, a mood of peace and
tranquilily prevails. About the
only sound a visitor may hear is
the laughter and chatter of
children’s voices engaged in the |
centuries-cld pastime af
youngaters--having fun. Along

The children are from

The Hart Farm is part of Tree
Farm Licence No. 1 which was
assigned to Columbia Cellulose
nearly twenty years ago. It was
originally settled at the turn of
the century by lhe Hart family .

who arrived in the North as part
of the, great wave of land-
hungry immigrants which
penetrated and settled many
remote parts of the province,
Some years later, the Harts
moved away and the property
reverted to the Crown. Although
Twinriver's busy logging road
passes within 4 mile of the
farm, you might never know it
was there except for the
roadside sign. The Company
leases the farm to the Terrace
Recreation Commission for the
nominal sum of $1 a year, and
the commission, in turn,
arranges for the farm’s use by
the school board, organizations
who care for crippled children
and the cecasional church or
business group seeking a quiet
and picturesque retreat,

The farm's advantages lie in
its air of rusticity and isolation.
The buildings sit in a forest
