Vacationers Urged
To Use Extreme
Caution in Woods
Foiu-th of July vacationers, ex
pected to use the forest areas of
Oregon in large numbers next
week, will enter forest lands when
the red warning flag of fire is fly.
ing, according to Judge Bert John
son, chairman of the Morrow coun
ty Keep Oregon Green association.
Intense heat of the past few days
has dried out the grass and fuel
in timber areas to create a real
fire hazard, the KOG county chair
man pointed out. "I join with Gov
ernor Snell, State Forester Rogers
and Keep Oregon Green officials in
urging the public to use extreme
caution while in the , woods this
year," he said. "Many people will
be enjoying the great outdoors on
Camping and picnicking trips who
haven't been in the woods since the
war. These people may forget what
one careless match will do, or how
much deviltry one unguarded or
improperly put out camp fire can
cause."
The local Keep Oregon Green
leader urged these simple cautions
for all Oregonians and visitors "who
will enjoy our great forests: Be
sure you have ax and shovel with
you when traveling in the woods;
never leave a camp fire until you
are certain it is completely extin
guished; don't smoke while travel
ing in the forests and if you smoke
while resting be sure 'your stub has
been ground out into mineral soil;
and don't fail to report any fire
at ( once to the nearest fire warden.
"Anyone seeing any strange ob
jects should report them at once to
'the nearest police officer r fire
warden and post a guard to make
sure that any explosive device does
no harm to unsuspecting adults or
children," cautions State Forester
Nelson S. Rogers.
"We can make Oregon fire-free
this Fourth of July, if we try,"
Governor Snell said as he urged
great caution to prevent conflagra
tions during these trying war times
when extra hazards and dangers
have been thrust on Pacific coast
residents."
