Ill m I FIRE TOD Wf Danger! The entire northwest is noil flaqqed as a critical fire hazard area .This summer there is enough dead timber lit tering the forest floor in the Pacific Northwest to build almost a year's supply of new homes. Hot winds and low humidity have dried this blow-down to the ignition point. Right now it's ready to fuel one of the worst forest fires on record. If a fire gets started in this debris, mil lions of acres may be devastated and whole communities could be burned out. For this reason, the state forester has closed much wider areas of both public and private forest lands to public use. These fire closures will run through September, and longer if necessary. They are absolutely vital to preven tion of a major fire disaster this year. Your help is needed. Please respect all areas of closure. Report all "smokes" you see whea traveling through forest areas. Whenever possible build campfires only in facilities provided for them. Make doubly sure they are out when you leave. Never leave any fire unattended. Watch matches and cigarettes more carefully than "i usual. With wiur help we can prevent a major fire disaster this year and con tinue to enjoy the benefits of our forest resources wood, water, wildlife, rec-reationandpayrolls. to v1t : 'MrX ' ki I . . e te'.r;.-y A public service message from A Weyerhaeuser Company Mtjfia ft Shet Metal 860 $.
