IWA WATCHES
ALTA. PROJECT

IWA officials, District
No. 1, planned more vigor-
ous efforts this week to ex-
tend their organization
drive in Alberta, when the
announcement was made
that new developments in
Northern Alberta were de-
signed to employ Indians
and half-breeds living in the
- area.

Any attempt to exploit the na-
tive Indians by the payment of
sub-standard wages or the use
of “indentured Jabor” will be
fought strenuously by the orga-
nization in District No. 1.

The announcement that a con-
tract had been signed between
the Federal Government, and the
Swanson Lumber Co. of Edmon-
ton, was accompanied by the
statement that jobs would be
provided for 200 Indians and
half-breeds resident in the dis-
trict.

The Company has contracted
to cut mature and over-mature
timber in the Wood Buffalo Na-
tional Park which straddles the
boundary separating Alberta
from the Northwest Territory.
The cut, will be 170 million board

Sailor's Climbs Thrill _

Nation-wide tour of an exhibit displaying the skills of
loggers as practiced in British Columbia, and advertising
uses of B.C. timber elsewhere in Canada, is now under
the spectacular performances
staged daily by tree-climbing world champion, Danny
at the Pacific National Exhibition.

Sailor,

Danny’s squirrel-like agility,
as demonstrated on 2 100-foot
spar tree, proved to be more
than a dare-devil feat. As the
conditions of his climb were kept
in close approximation to those
daily faced by high riggers in
the logging industry his “show”
won tributes for the skill and
hardihood of his fellow workers.

The twice-a-day climb was pre-
sented by the PNE management
as a free attraction and was kept
completely free from any of the
usual commercialization. The ex-
planatory “spiel” announcing the
climb was given by Danny’s old
logging camp buddy, George
Campbell, now residing at 2144
St. Andrews St., North Vancou-}
ver.

Each climb was made an at-
tempt for a new record by Dan-
ny with the result that his time

Swanson Lumber Co. was the
highest of three bidders. Opera-
tions will begin next summer,
and must be completed within
15 years. Start has been made
on a large lumber mill in Fort
McMurray.

The timber-cutting site is on
the Peace River, just upstream
from the smaller site now being
worked by Eldorado Mining &
Refining Co, Route of the timber
will be down the Peace, across
Lake Athabaska and up Atha-
baska to Fort McMurray, the
railhead. The project, it is said,
will create substantial new busi-
ness for water and rail transport
companies.
