PRINCE GEORGE, B.C.
(CP)'— Iona Campagnolo,
federal minister of state for
fitness and amateur sports,
Saturday urged business to
have more confidence in
Canada’s economic future
and to make greater use of
government assistance in its
enterprises.

The minister was ad-
dressing the annual con-

In addition to reduce skating and pool rates for next

Pope feels fragile and

VATICAN CITY (AP) —
rope Paul, on the eve of his
#0th..birthday, told 50,000
eople gathered in St.
eter's Square on Sunday he
feels ‘‘the fragility of being
human.”

The Pope, who looked in
good health and spoke fir-
mly at mass and his
traditional noon blessing,
today becomes the fifth
head of the Roman Catholic
Church in this century to
reign as an octogenarian. Of
the century’s seven popes,
all but two continued in their
reigns after reaching age 80.

Campagnolo said that

“In our soul we are
divided with two sen-
.timents: one is relative to
our age ... which pre
announces that our end in
the order of tem) ral life is
approaching,’ Pope Pa
send in the emotional ad-
dress, —
“This obliges us to great
humility. We feel the
fragility of being human to
which we are subject as
Christ was at the cruxifix.”

The Pope said the other
sentiment he feels concerns
the papacy and the foun-
dation of the Roman
Catholic Church.

Fires dampened
in district

Despite the return to
cooler damper weather,
four new fires were reported
for the week ending Sept. 22,
bringing the season total for
the Forest District to 144
fires. :

The new fires are either
out or being mopped up by

’ fire fighting crews.

Along with fire sup-
pression, the Protection
division is responsible for
the detection, monitoring
and control of forest insects
and diseases in the Prince
Rupert Forest District. All
ages of forests are affected
by insects and diseases, and

though not as dynamic as
fire, these agents can cause
serious problems to the
forest manager. Serious
growth loss, deformities and
mortality are frequentl
associated with i insect'an
disease attacks; if left
unchecked, an entire ‘forest
crop represetning over 100
years of growth can be
quickly destroyed.

The detection and
monitoring of insect

pulations and diseases is
Jointly carried out by the
Canadian Forestry Service
of the Federal Department
of Fisheries and En-
vironment and the Forest
SERVICE. ‘Two Federal

‘Insect and Disease Rangers

are assigned to the Prince
Rupert Forest District for a
five month season, and
provide expert advice on
insect and disease
problems, Tje facilities and
staff of the Canadian
Forestry SERVICE, Pacific
Forest Research Centre in
Victoria are also made
available to the Forest
District, In addition to

identifying forest insects
and diseases and any
resulting problemsm the
CFS Rangers help establish .
trends of current in-
festations and recommend
possible control action.
Insects affecting forest
trees fall in two categories:
Defoliators and bark-
beetles.  Defoliators eat
needles and buds of trees,

and cause growth loss, |

deformaties and mortality. °
Examples of defoliators in
the Prince Rupert Forest
District are the European
Sawily and Spruce Weevil,
which defoliate shorepine
and Sitka spruce respec-
tively. Chemical control of

defoliator infestations is .

often required, however,
this method is used very
sparingly and cautiously.

lo such control is being
carried out in the Prince
Rupert Forest District at
this time.

Bark bettles present a
greater problem in the
Prince upert Forest
District. Lodgepole pine,
White Spruce and Balsam
fir are belng affected by an
upswing in bark beetle
populations in the Interior.

opulations have built to
epidemic levels in the past
several years, particularly
in lodgepole pine. Efforts to
contro) the infestations are
underway through logging,
and felling-and-burning
infested trees.

Diseases in forest are also
ever
considerable damage to all
ages of trees. Dwarf
Mistletoe and root rot are
but two of the many
forestdiseases present in the
Prince Rupert Forest
District. :
