LOGGERS' SPORTS AT PNE AUG. 21

The Centennial Festival of
Forestry, which attracted over
200,000 people to its events last
year, kicks off this year’s 18-
day program on Saturday,
August 21.

Now an annual event, the
Festival is marking its fifth
birthday. Chairman of the
Festival Committee is W. D.
(Bill) Moore.

“Principal purpose of the
Festival,’’ said Moore, ‘‘is to
provide a showcase for the
many facets of British
Columbia’s forest industry.”
The Festival of Forestry is a
non-profit organization,
drawing its support and co-
operation from management,
labour, universities and all
three levels of government.

One of the highlights of the
Festival is the Loggers’ Sports
Show at the Pacific National
Exhibition. This year the show
runs from August 21 through
September 7. ;

North American cham-
pionships including log birling,
axe throwing, speed climbing,
hand and power sawing, single
and double handed bucking,
underhand and_ horizontal
chopping, etc., will be con-
tested during the PNE event.
There are three shows Monday
through Saturday and two on

Sundays, no admission
charged.
The popular Loggers’ Break-

fast will be held in the open
parking lot at Brentwood
Shopping Centre, Burnaby,
Saturday, August 28 from 9
a.m. to 12noon. Last year more
than 2,000 attended the break-
fast of pancakes and coffee.
This year, the menu will be
expanded and the price is 50
cents except for children 5 and
under — they get breakfast for
There will be en-

tertainment by a Loggers’
Band and displays of Loggers’
Sports by many of the out-
standing contestants at the
PNE show.

The breakfast is put on with
the co-operation of the Van-
couver Hoo Hoo Club.

Another highlight of the
Festival is the Forestry
Graduate Congress. In the
past, the Festival has spon-
sored university forestry
graduate students from all
parts of the world to study the
forestry operations in British
Columbia. To date, students
from 43 countries have at-
tended the Congress.

This year, the Congress is
inviting 22 students from three
B.C. univiersities — UBC, SFU
and Victoria — to a five-day
study of environmental
forestry. The tour this year is
unique in that only one forestry
student will be involved. The
other participants will come

from the various faculties of
the three universities.

The Congress will run from
August 30 through September
5. The students will attend a
seminar at UBC and tour
operations on Vancouver
Island.

Special forestry displays and
exhibits will be shown at
downtown stores and shopping
centres during the Festival.

PRODUCTS DECLARED "HOT"

Products of the Western
Gypsum Ltd. have been
declared ‘‘hot’” by the B.C.
Federation of Labour.

Federation officers in a news
release stated:

“Since this strike began
March 19, the company has
adamantly refused to
negotiate, instead attempting
to bypass the negotiating

committee and deal with
employees on an individual
basis. . :

“Rather than negotiate, the
company continues to try to
serve the B.C. market and
starve the 65 workers into
submission.

“The Federation therefore
has classified all ‘Westroc’
drywall material ‘hot’.”’
