Born in Scotland, he spent more
than 40 years in the woods.

He died in 1980 aged 59.

Legends have grown up about
Bell, who was known as a logger

still in his teens, he started in the
woods as a “gandy dancer” or sec-.
tion gang worker on a railroad
logging show in Kingcome Inlet.
He worked many shows on the
coast, including famous Rock Bay
where he was “handy man” or
general all round logger who could
tend hook or rig a tree or run a
locomotive.

He was superintendent at North-
west Bay on Vancouver Island and

Jack Moore, regional president
of the International Woodworkers
of America recounts an incident
when Bell fired a logger. “The
shop steward told the logger Bell
couldn't fire him for the alleged
infraction under the terms of the
coniract,” says Moore, “but you
notice ‘the shop steward didn’t
offer to go with him to see Bell.”
The next day the logger climbed
into the crummy with the rest of
the crew to go to work. “Hey,
didn't 1 fire you yesterday?” queri-
ed Bell. “Yes,” said the logger,
“And don’t let it happen again.” —
Moore says Bell was so tickled
by the answer that he never pres-
sed the issue and the logger kept

his job.
