Description: The first midwest fire control conference will take place in Baraga County early in May. The field meetings will be held on the branch prison site not far from Michigan Tech's Alberta forestry site. Here, using a map of the old Sturgeon River Lumber Co. which once owned mills in Chassell and Hancock, Tech Forestry Head Bert Noblet points out the location of the two-day meet to Ted Pearce, center, and Ralph Noble, members of the Tech departments of college relations and extension services. The sessions are unique since they are the first in the western hemisphere. [Bert Noblet points to the map showing sections of land bordering Sturgeon River as described by White Pine Timber Grants.]
