Helicopters hover

‘sick firs

hours once spent in climbing
trees or shooting down samples
of branches needed for research
studies,

Key to their success, in addi
jon to the helicopter, was a pole
pruner designed by Wear.

It has an 8 foot aluminum pole
with a scissor-type cutting head
powered hy apneumatic cylinder,

Not does the pruner. cut
the branch, but it keeps it in its
grip until the operator decides
to release it (pretty Important
when you're up in the air like
that),

‘| |fe "284 ‘in 1966,

(Part of a historical series
prepared by Imperial Oil)

The fur trade formed the ad-
vancing frontier of European civ-
llization as it swept across the
northern half of the continent
to the Pacific,

Ultimately, the fur trade also
represonted a retreadingirontier.
for the civilization of the Ind-'
dans, who had more fura than
they could use; they eagerly ex-
changed them for European goods
such as guns and metal tools,

ee 4 oo

The fur trade led to cultural
and racial interchange as well
as commodity exchange. French
traders and coureurs de bois
married Indian women along the
St. Lawrence River, around the
Great Lakes and across the
northwest, wherever they were
trading,
English and Scottish traders
were not permanently posted to
Canada ‘and did not live away
from their posts to the same
extent as the French traders,
Even so, many of them inter-
married with the Indians of the
Hudson Bay area, the prairies
and. the far west, But many
of them left their children be-
hind to be raised as Indians,
Trading alliances formed and
broke among Indian tribes, and
between Indians and whites,
Wars were fought over the
lucrative fur trade as the riv-

alry grew between English and
French, between white andIndian,
hetween the Hudson’s Bay Co,
and the North-West Co,

The organization of the fur

trade reflects this bitter polit. |.

feal and corporate competition, '
Tt also reflects the harsh liv.
ing conditions and the high cost

of transporting heavy trade goods:| “+. ae

andstpplies up the rivers’ of the
eastern Canadian drainage ba-
sins,

These problems were conquer-
ed with an organization based
on tough central authority and
fortified outposts.

The trading posts aimed to
dominate their territories com-
pletely, _ They discouraged the
encroachment of settlers on the
wilderness, except in areas
where the trading posts wanted
agricultural support for them-
selves, m .

These autocratic
strengthened their rule over the
wilderness when the two rival fur-
trading companies merged, but
eventually, slowly and grudgingly
they yielded their grip as the
fur supply dwindled and the fron-
tiers of heavy settlement moved
westward,

Industrialization followed,

quickened by gold rushes, the }.

advent of steam powered tran-
sportation, and‘ the formation of
strong central government pro-
vided by the Act of Union and
Confederation,

Figures released by B.C, Sain
ety Council listed 27 drowned
to 43 in traffic.

A council spokesman said It
was the first time for any month
on record that the highways took
second place in fatalitles. .

140 people lost thelr lives
in July by accidents according

{to the figures released by the

B,C, Safety Council today,

all news media last month of the
‘warnings issued by the council,
