REPORT OF OFFICERS’ REPORT COMMITTEE Your committee has stud- ied the report of the Regional Officers on activities of the Regional Council over the past year. In the Preamble or first section of the report it was noted reference was made to a number of problems and developments that were dealt with during the year. A num- ber of references to other problems created during the year were not too clear to the committee because of lack of detailed explanations in the report.

The Committee felt that there should have been more recognition of the fast devel- oping problem of increased production in the Interior which could greatly increase the work force in new areas through the Columbia and Peace Power development and the recent dividing up of the most of our undeveloped forest resources between the large corporations interested in pulp.

This being main- ly due to the publicity cam- paign carried out under in- structions from the Regional Executive Board. Considerable concern was expressed regarding the ade- quacy of funds to continue and enlarge the organizational campaign during the coming year.
