Captain Frank Mason, in command of a Forestry Company that has been doing great work in France, has sent his wife in St. William a bundle of splendid photographs.
In one, Captain Mason is standing on
the furthest pile of logs. His story is that the Germans cut all this timber during their
occupation of the territory and logged it up into piles. When they were expelled, the Canadian Forestry Troops built a Canadian saw mill and cut millions of feet of all sorts of lumber for the use of the Allied soldiers.
This saw mill was operated near enough to the lines to be under shell fire, but the French people visited it by the thousands. To them it was of surpassing interest to see the operation of a saw mill, equipped after the Canadian style, so greatly different from their primitive sawing by man power.
