| Foret and Empire
The passing of Empire Day

land the King’s birthday remind

ug of many things—of. the vast

of respect for its titular head, of
the ties that bind it together and

‘of our own part right. here in

British Columbia. .The_ ties of.
blood are cemented with everv-
day ties of trade' and commerce,
in our case founded: upon the
great lumber industry. This
serves to remind us that Canada
has the greatest reserves of soft-
wood timber in the Empire, and
British Columbia has half the
Qur service
to the Empire must be, therefore,
the
products of ‘the forests. This
can be done, provided the forests

jare kept free of fire,

| Foresta renew themselves na-

turally after logging, from seed

already in the soil and that blown
in ‘by the wind,’ If the’ young,
trees are burned there is less
chance of them coming in again,
and especially if the same_fire

that kills the seedlings - kills the

parent tree.

. Fortunately most forest fires
can be prevented, for we know
that from eighty to ninety per

eent of the forest fires each year

are the result of human action. or
carelessness. ‘The individual can
dothe Empire no better service
than see that no forest fire can be
traced to his careless act, suchas
the dropping of a lighted match
or tobacco ‘in the woods or the
leaving of his campfire burning.
