PAGE A8, THE HERALD, Wednesday, April 27, 1977 | Guides-Brownies se Cookie Week — the traditional fund-raising campaign for Brownies, Guides and Rangers — wili be held from April 29 to May ‘ Brownies, Guides and Rangers from every corner of the province will set out in groups to sell Girl Guide Cookies. : In Terrace, the girls will call door-to-door Saturday April 30 and will be selling cookies in the downtown area on Saturday, May 7. : For every 75 cents a. package a girl sells, her pack receives nine and one- quarter cents to be used for pack equipment, han- dicrafts, badges and for community service work. A similar share of profits goes into the Division treasury to assist with, leadership training, to help girls chosen to go to national and international camps, and to maintain the division campsites, : A smail portion runs the provincial office and helps, maintain the provincial 80- acre camp and training centre near Chilliwack, named TSOONA. The guiding concepts teach girls the wisdom of helping themselves. The fund-raising campaign of the girls selling cookies to provide their own pack needs is a vital part of their training in responsible citizenship. Red Cross seeks renewal of local branches The Red Cross is ‘‘on the right track” with its many programs but renewal of ocal branch organizations must be furthered to better fulfill community needs, says the new B.C.-Yukon Red Cross president. J. Gordon Squire, Bur- naby's director of recreation who has now. taken over Red Cross leadership from District Judge Darrell D. Jones of Vancouver, pointed to the “great application” of B.C.- Yukon Red Cross services such as blood transfusion, water safety, home health education, youth programs, sickroom equipment loans and emergency and disaster aid. “T see further steps toward drawing service functions like water safety and youth into closer alignment with the efforts of our regional coordinators” to develop Red Cross at the local level, Mr, Squire said. He was asked to comment on the fact that, while in most of the world Red Cross is synonymous with first-aid and emergency services, in Canada the Red Cross is synonymous with blood. “I think the premiss of free blood in Canada has been an excellent one for Red Cross,’ Mr. Squire answered. “It’s recognized clearly that the blood ser- vice has been handled more efficiently and at lower cost than the government could have done it. : “But we also have an ongoing andI think positive relationship with the B.C. government in terms of our new agreement with the Provincial Emergency Program,’’ he added, Mr. Squire held responsibility for the past two years as Red Cross’ Disaster.

The acceleratin development of bloo component therapy requires a considerable amount of planning and wisdom.” Anative of Saskatchewan, Gord Squire is a physical education graduate of the University of British Columbia who now lives in Delta. His work in the recreation field led him into volunteer work with the Red Cross Water Safety Service. “I became sold on the work of the Red Cross — and the principles it stands for,”’ Mr. Squires recails. What does he hope will be his legacy when his term is finished in two years? “That we've reached more of the little people in terms of developing a greater sense of fulfillment,” Mr. Squire said. “Many of our branches are in very small com- munities where there isn’t sufficient structure to really foster an organization. They rely to a degree on the assistance we can offer from outside.” BE = Baie bug . by mmirl Guide J ee COOKIE DAY — Terrace Guid a kK cee 2 ae AoE les and Brownies will be out in force Saturday 30 as Maureen Clent, Ist Kitsumgallum Guide and Rebecca Onstein, 1st Kitsumgallum Brownie reminds Herald readers.

Fotsch, receives our book prize for the following question... Will horse logging become popular again? Maybe so, but not quite in the style of early logging when trees were cut wit handsaws, muscle and wit. Our pioneer woodsmen did not have the machines of modern technology so hauled their ‘logs ta tidéwater, river or bush mill by the power of horses and oxen. The picture began to change in the first half of the century when new in- ventions came to B.C. and animals were replaced by machines. (The process was rapid on the coast; slower in the interior regions). Naturally, machines were faster, needed fewer operators and did not require feeding at the end of the day and on weekends. However,. it is quite possible we may see horses used again when it comes to thinning our second growth forests. If you have ever grown radishes or carrots, you will understand why forest managers thin. A great show of green in the early spring gardenpatch does not necessarily mean a crop of nice fat vegetables later on. If too many crowding radish or carrot plants. are com- peting for space and nutrients, none will develop properly and all you'll get is a large crop of useless inedible strings. This is why garden books tell you to ‘ strongest to thin, advising that you pull out the weaker, poorer plants leaving the best and develap.. Naturally, they warn this mustbe done with care so as not to damage those plants that have been selected to become your future carrots or radishes as the case may be . The same principle ap- plies in a forest, There 1s ‘only so much space, water andnutrient in a given area. If too many trees are competing, thinning may be needed to take out and use trees that would otherwise die. At the same time the remaining trees benefit from more space. As with a garden, the trees that are being removed in the thinning process must be taken out with care to avoid damaging soils and the trees that have been left. Machines that are nor- mally used for hauling timber out of a logged area are too powerful for such a delicate task. And so, a well trained horse which can snake logs through the trees ‘jeads may well & with the right man on the be more suited to the job, despite a slower work rate. Recent experience in this province and elsewhere has shown that horse thinning is feasible but, as always, the choice of thinning method will probably boil down to a. matter of present costs versus future benefits, « Who knows under what circumstances the horse will prove best. Perhaps the horse may even come to the preferred because the fuel required is not gas but oats, Send your questions about the forest and forestry to Ask About the Forest, care of Canadian Forestry Association of B.C., 410 - 1200 West Pender Street, Vancouver, B.C., V6E 289.
