Trees Span Many Years of History

A 1092-year-old Douglas fir trée was felled during’ 1956 on the Englewood Logging. Division of Canadian Forest Products Ltd., near Schoen Lake. This tree was 202 years old at the pf William the Conqueror’s in- yasion of England from Nor- mandy.

The PV Reporter, published by the field operations department of CFP, claims this tree is the second oldest reported in B.C. Phe oldest, it was stated, was reported by the B.C. Forest Ser- vies to have been felled on an Alberni Pacific Lumber Company operation at Deep Lake, near Port Alberni, and said to be 1106 years old.

Last October, a Dougias fir estimated to be 1300 years old was dedicated on MacMillan and Bloedel’s Shawnigan Division by Ralph Pybus, president of the Canadian Chamber of Gommerce.

The oldest fir tree for which there is any authentic record is reported by the U.S. Forest Ser- vice to have been felled in 1915 en the upper Skagit River, Washington. This tree was 1375 years old.

sound from bottom to top. It sealed 30,714 board feet.

The U.S. Forest Service re- ports three Douglas firs that are more than 15 feet in diameter at the butt. Two of them are in Oregon and the third in Olympic National Park in Washington.

The Weyhaeuser Timber Com- pany reports that the largest tree it has felled was 11 feet in diameter at the butt and scaled 71,542 board feet. This tree was on the company’s Longview operation, Upper Green River, Washington. It was 680 years old when it was dropped in 1944.

Considering the hazards pf wind, fire and decay that a tree

turies, the strength and virilty of these few survivors is re- markable. The Douglas fir has

a sturdy root system. very thick bark and extreme vigor of growth, which contribute to its ability to reach great size and Jong, life.

No tree in the forest sur- passes it for sheer beauty of form and for the heautifyl coler-

Religious Convention Draws Record Number of Delegates

For three days last weekend, the Elks Hall in Williams Lake was converted into a large Kingdom Hall for Jehovah’s Witnesses convention. Displays of literature and administrative desks lined one side of the main hall, while the platform was decorated with flowers and evergreen boughs and was bordered on the front by artificial flowers, spelling out the main theme of the assembly—* Qualified to Teach.”

The activities were centred around this theme as shown by the convention chairman, A. F. Danley, in his opening remarks. In his initial address, Mr. Dan- ley stated the importance of he- coming qualified teachers of God's word, and reminded those present that the purpose of their being there was to help them im- prove their qualifications as

Mr, McBrine, circuit super- visor, was in charge of the ser- vice meeting, which was built around the theme “ Guard Your Christian Trust.” ‘Other con- tributors to the program in- cluded primarily local ministers from the Cariboo area.

The Saturday afternoon dis- course on dedication and bap- tism was well attended, and the gathering saw nine new minis- ters receive their ordination,

The climax of the meeting was reached Sunday afternoon when the attendance swelled to 356 for the public discourse ‘ What are the prospects of Lasting Peace?” which made this con- vention one of the largest ever held here. During the hour- long discourse, Mr. Danley re- ceived undivided attention as he logically discussed the basis for permanent peace.

Said Mr, Danley, “ We live in a very strange world. Civilized men know more about killing than living. Yet the desire of man is to live and not die. This hope for lasting peace is not an idle dream or something con- jured up in the mind of a fana-
