Canadian forests face rapid decline and costly renewal

Experts urge increased funding and better forest inventories to avert economic and employment consequences. Victoria reports Health Minister McCelland warns immunization costs will rise 125 percent on April 1 1978 and poli vaccine price will jump, citing Sabin vaccine at 96 cents a dose.
