On the pollution end of slash

through such programs.

“Pollution from car exhaust

In ‘a breakdown ‘of slash

aims ‘of the fires:

- modify ground conditions

and clear-out waste wood left -

from logging operations. This
wasle is a fire hazard during
dry weather periods,

- prepare area for planting.
Planting is easier and less
expensive when undertaken in
burnt out areas. ;

~ destruction of damaging

A major factor ‘behind the
heavy smoke was pin-pointed
by the forest ranger as being the
old and decaying forest areas.

_Whys and wherefores of slas

Remember the smoke. it:

Much wood in these areas is. not
economically suitable for we by
loggers and is left behind. This
accumulation of waste wood
when burned allows for more
smoke, :

“The timber in places here
should have been logged-oif 150
years ago,” he said. “But it is
only now being logged.”

In further detail he noted two
main forms of slash fires: spot
and broadcast burning,

my: THE TERRACE refuge dump is a reported crime. This
gt description comes irom the Terrace District Chamber of
ma Commerce, The community affairs committee of the chamber
haar suggested at Tuesday night's meeting that instead of declaring
mi one Terrace week per year for anti-litter campaigns, why not
introduee a 52-week per year program. In the chamber’s
ee thinking, the Terrace dumpshould be opened on weekends (and .
possibly on special days, opened with no 50 cent refuge dumping
charge) to encourage residents in cleaning-up back yards, ‘One
‘ disturbed resident claimed he hauled his garbage out to the
2 ; dump one week day'morhing. He arrived there at 10 a.m. but
fee) due tosome kind of business hour restriction, was not allowed to
weer pass through the gate and dump garbage until-11 am. -He -
_ Feporied that there was nothing slopping.this move except the
ai dump attendant. RCMP add that residents hauling loads out to
1 the dump should secure depris’ from falling-off vehicles and
litering the town and country sides, -

PAVING TERRACE 1971 has come to an end. All streets (and

sections of streets) included in this year's proposal :have been
