Original Toronto Star caption: The $4 Billion-a-year pulp and paper industry is having a tough time finding people to cut down the trees from which it makes everything from newsprint to toilet tissue. It believes it will have to struggle for years to get enough wood. Executives hope that better pay; conditions and fast mechanization-which will replace many of the men using chain-saws-will do the job. There's talk of using women in the woods.
