A million whales all spouting mightily could not turn the trick. But to prevent a forest fire that's easy. It's as simple as A-B-C In fact, John Citizen's participation in forest fire pre vention is primarily a matter of A-B-C To-wit: A. Break your match in two. (If it's still aglow, your thumb will find that out.) B. Crush your cigarette, cigar or pipe embers. (Like peo- )le, embers, when thorough y crushed, lose that old fire.) C. Drown your campfire twice. (A well -drowned campfire doesn't insist on going down for the third time. But once .' isn't enough.) Most westerners know these rules. Most westerners love their forests. Most west erners realize that with so many men gone the one sure way to stop forest fires is to prevent them. Most westernerf know why wartime fires are in voluntary sabotage. Then why are we harping on an old string? The Forest Service) people say nine-tenths of all forest fires are still man-made. A majority get going because someone fails to break his match, crush those embers or drown a campfire. That means we westerners may know the rules, but sometimes we neglect them. Wo still start forest fires. Wt till touch the match of thought lcssness to the tinder of mis chance. We don't intend to. But we do. So let's take the pledge again all of us. Break that match! Crush that "smoke"! Drown that campfire twice!
