Original Toronto Star caption: Trails wind throughout the bush country where the men put forth their efforts on a regular production schedule. Here is a trail being rolled to help facilitate transportation. Pine and spruce lumber; perhaps bound for war construction projects; more over trails in record quantities. Burwash is very proud of its production of planed lumber for the timber controller.
