FARM WOODLANDS
, Many .people have aeen poster*, pamphlets, and other fire prevention advertising material containing a picture of a beir named Smokey. How many realise that there is a bear called Smokey, whose home was destroyed by a forest fire. ,
Smokey’s home was in the Lincoln National Forest in New Mexico. One day, through someone’s carelessness, a fire was started and seventeen thousand acres of woodland were destroyed. It was during this fire that a couple of fiTe fight* ers found Smokey in a charred and duined area. The pads of his feet had been burned to the bone.
Fully recovered from the burns suffered from the fire, Smokey is now living—in tbe National Zoological Park at Washington, D.C. People who see him are reminded to be careful in the woods. One match or a lighted cigarette carelessly tossed into the brush, leaves or grass without being properly extinguished can destroy wildlife and our future timber supply._
Hunting and fall fire season start around the same time of the year. When you are in the woods hunting for game, be careful when smoking. Be sure your cigarett or other lighted tobacco is out before discarding it. Break your match after extinguishing it. Remember only you can prevent forest fires.
