Trees Span Many Years of History

A 1092-year-old Douglas fir
trée was felled during’ 1956 on
the Englewood Logging. Division
of Canadian Forest Products
Ltd., near Schoen Lake. This
tree was 202 years old at the
pf William the Conqueror’s in-
yasion of England from Nor-
mandy.

The PV Reporter, published by
the field operations department
of CFP, claims this tree is the
second oldest reported in B.C.
Phe oldest, it was stated, was
reported by the B.C. Forest Ser-
vies to have been felled on an
Alberni Pacific Lumber Company
operation at Deep Lake, near
Port Alberni, and said to be
1106 years old.

Last October, a Dougias fir
estimated to be 1300 years old
was dedicated on MacMillan and
Bloedel’s Shawnigan Division by
Ralph Pybus, president of the
Canadian Chamber of Gommerce.

The oldest fir tree for which
there is any authentic record is
reported by the U.S. Forest Ser-
vice to have been felled in 1915
en the upper Skagit River,
Washington. This tree was
1375 years old.

The Schoen Lake three was
107 inches in diameter at the
butt, 230 feet in height and

‘must survive *to~attain -1@-cen-|

sound from bottom to top. It
sealed 30,714 board feet.

The U.S. Forest Service re-
ports three Douglas firs that are
more than 15 feet in diameter
at the butt. Two of them are in
Oregon and the third in Olympic
National Park in Washington.

The Weyhaeuser Timber Com-
pany reports that the largest
tree it has felled was 11 feet in
diameter at the butt and scaled
71,542 board feet. This tree was
on the company’s Longview
operation, Upper Green River,
Washington. It was 680 years
old when it was dropped in 1944.

Considering the hazards pf
wind, fire and decay that a tree

turies, the strength and virilty
of these few survivors is re-
markable. The Douglas fir has

a sturdy root system. very thick
bark and extreme vigor of
growth, which contribute to its
ability to reach great size and
Jong, life.

No tree in the forest sur-
passes it for sheer beauty of
form and for the heautifyl coler-

Religious Convention Draws
Record Number of Delegates

For three days last weekend, the Elks Hall in
Williams Lake was converted into a large Kingdom
Hall for Jehovah’s Witnesses convention. Displays
of literature and administrative desks lined one side
of the main hall, while the platform was decorated
with flowers and evergreen boughs and was bordered
on the front by artificial flowers, spelling out the
main theme of the assembly—* Qualified to Teach.”

The activities were centred
around this theme as shown by
the convention chairman, A. F.
Danley, in his opening remarks.
In his initial address, Mr. Dan-
ley stated the importance of he-
coming qualified teachers of
God's word, and reminded those
present that the purpose of their
being there was to help them im-
prove their qualifications as

meal also afforded an opportun-

ministers and be better equipped
to tegch the good news of God's
kingdom.

Mr, McBrine, circuit super-
visor, was in charge of the ser-
vice meeting, which was built
around the theme “ Guard Your
Christian Trust.” ‘Other con-
tributors to the program in-
cluded primarily local ministers
from the Cariboo area.

The Saturday afternoon dis-
course on dedication and bap-
tism was well attended, and the
gathering saw nine new minis-
ters receive their ordination,

The climax of the meeting was
reached Sunday afternoon when
the attendance swelled to 356
for the public discourse ‘ What
are the prospects of Lasting
Peace?” which made this con-
vention one of the largest ever
held here. During the hour-
long discourse, Mr. Danley re-
ceived undivided attention as he
logically discussed the basis for
permanent peace.

Said Mr, Danley, “ We live in
a very strange world. Civilized
men know more about killing
than living. Yet the desire of
man is to live and not die. This
hope for lasting peace is not an
idle dream or something con-
jured up in the mind of a fana-

In summing up at the close

urged everyone to accept their
