Pa Kettle's Forest Fire
Hetty MacDonuld's famous
story, The Esg and I, has a chap
ter that is really a parable on
the public problem and the pop
ular appeal that the "Keep
Green" movement represents.
The chapter is on Pa Kettle and
his forest fire. Here is a liberal
quotation from it:
"Even with the continual
rain, July, August, September
and even October were bad fire
months in the mountains (the
Olympics). If you wore unfortu
nate enough to live on a ranch
near the Kettles, any month was
dangerous. It was" said that the
Kettles set the original peat
fires in the valleys and that one
summer, Pa, to save himself the
effort of mowing the lawn, set
fire to the grass and burned off
the front porch. The Kettles
burned brush any old time of
year and if the brush fire got
away from them and burned
five or ten acres of somebody's
timber, that was too bad.
Home in Danger
"It was late October of the
second year," Betty MacDon
ald's story goes on to tell, "when
Elwin Kettle drove excitedly
into our yard one morning to
tell us that their bar was on fire.
He said, 'Pa filled the hay mow
with wet hay and the darned
stuff's combusted spontaneous.
The barn's burnin' and it's set
the brush in the ravine on fire,
loo. Ma said to warn you it's
probably come up this way be
cause the wind's from the south
"All afternoon cars chugged
up our road and then scooted
down toward the Kettles'. Bob
had spread the alarm and the
farmers were answering the call
for help. I learned later that Bob
had gone even further he had
asked Maxwell Ford Jefferson,
the moonshiner, to help and Jeff
passed the word on to all his
good customers. I made gallons
of coffee and hundreds of sand
wiches and at about four the
fighters came filing wearily in,
blackfaced and dirty. They ate
sandwiches, drank coffee, and
cursed the Kettles.
"The smoke rolled up the
draw and obscured the sun and
stung my eyes while I put out
the lanterns and fed the chick
ens. Each batch of fighters
brought more frightening news.
The fire was almost to the road
In several places!' The wind was
getting stronger.' 'Once the fire
hit the timber on our place we
would have to run for our
lives.' "-
Save That Still I
Such was the bad news. Then,
at around seven in the evening
Max Jefferson, the moonshiner,
dropped by with a word of cheer.
"Just thought I'd drop up and
tell you not to worry, honey.
I've got the biggest bunch of
drunkards in the United States
out fightin' that fire 'cause they

Fuller Life for
Persons Over 65
To Be Discussed
Washington, June 13 U.R
Federal Security Administrator
Oscar R. Swing said today that
his aim is "to add life to years.
Not just years to life."
He borrowed those words from
the masthead of the Journal of
Gerontology to describe his aim
in calling the national confer
ence on aging.
To Discuss Full:' LIU
Ewing has invited 1.200 per
sons from all walks of life to
meet with him here for three
days in August to decide what
can be done to make a fuller life
for persons over 65.
The white haired adminis
trator, himself 81. obviously
needs no help along those lines.
But he made it clear that others
approaching or beyond their 65th
birthdays are looking for some
thing that will add "life" to their
years.
Ewing is not thinking In terms
of social security benefits.
Continued Employment
He is thinking of:
1. Continued employment for
those over 65 who don't want to
shed their harness and are physi
cally and mentally capable of
slaying at their Jobs, or perhaps
switching to something more
suitable lo their latter-year tal
ents. 2. Recreation something to
make more pleasant the hours of
those who have retired or who,
outside of their jobs, have leisure
hours to fill.
3. Ways in which the oldsters
can continue to make an active,
contribution to the civic life of
their communities.
Response Great
4. What can be done for them
medically and spiritually to make
their life fuller.
His aides said the response to
invitations has been so great that
there probably will be "'standing
room only" when the conference
convenes August -3.
A major result anticipated
from the conference is a cam
paign to persuade Industry to
cast aside the arbitrary retire
ment ages now in existence.

But the fir burned itself out
as a night rain set in. In the end
it was only one of the annual
thousands of fires that never
got a line in the newspapers
twenty years ago, and which the
people of the woods and farms
endured much as they endured
colds, rheumatism and pneumo
nia in the winter time.
