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-

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

FOUND IN LAKE
Men from the Klamath Falls
naval air station dragging Lake
O' Woods yesterday In an at
tempt to recover the body of
Richard Holllngsworth, missing
and believed drowned after a
boating mishap last Tuesday
night, brought up an unidenti
fied body which had been in the
water some time, according to
information received in Medford
this afternoon by Karl Janouch,
supervisor of Rogue River Na
tional Forest.
Details as to condition of the
body and possible identification
were not relayed from the forest
service station at the lake, but
Janouch said it was thought the
body might be one of two care
takers who disappeared at the
lake about two years ago, as no
other persons have been reported
missing there. The men were
staying at the resort in the win
ter to prevent snow damage or
vandalism to summer homes in
the area, and no solution to their
disappearance was ever found.
The body recovered at the
lake yesterday ' was found in
about 30 feet of water, Janough
snid. It was removed to Klam
ath Falls by the coroner.
Dragging operations are con
tinuing for the body of Hollings-
worth, who disappeared after his
boat capsized in a wind storm on
the lake late last Tuesday. Be
fore slipping beneath the sur
face, the victim aided his four
companions in reaching the side
of the overturned boat, where
they were rescued.
