If he did, we'd know what to do with him. The Job would be short, butnot sweet. Smouldering cigarettes and lighted matches, dropped In the forest along road or trail, can produce the same result as an Incendiary bomb. Sa can a neglected campflre; or a brush fire that gets way. It happened last year. It could happen again. What are we going to do about It? The forest protection agendes, -short of help and equipment, will have their hands full fighting lightning fires, end possible enemy fires. They will have scant patience with any American citizen who Is responsible for a forest fire. And rightly so. I -Well, there's fust one answer. Every citizen must appoint him self a fire prevention warden. The lob Is easy. We alt know how to prevent fires. All we have to do Is JUST THINK. And ' see that the other fellow THINKS, too.
