ia STEVENS
"Keep Green" Again
It's death in the woods from
-the Skeena river to the Hum
boldt, the newspapers tell. Over
in Kittitas county, one story
says, "a wall of water five feet
high sits in the hills ready to
race down to the ocean." That
is, snow 143 inches deep con
tains 65 inches of water.
The other powerful danger.
and one that will last, is in the
stands of frozen young trees,
and in deep carpets of needles,
fallen from the big freeze. A
bank of ivy up the road from my
old boompond shack is black
and brittle. Now comes fern-fire
time. It could be a bad year.
But now we are prepared for
the worst. The forestry protec
tion forces are well trained in
use of new types of forest-fire
detection and suppression equip
ment. And the people, the young
folks particularly, are informed
and alert these times, on forest
fire prevention. This is the en
couraging effect of 16 years
of "Keep Washington Green,"
"Keep Oregon Green" and
""Keep California Green and
Golden."

my beat-up RFD box, on the
road uphill from the boompond
shack. Roderic Olzendam was
the name on the envelope. He
was "Rod" to me and all the
hands who organized themselves
In February, 1940, for the first
year's campaign of the "Keep
Washington Green" fight against
the man-caused forest fire.
Moseying back down the trail
from the mailbox, I put the
newspaper with all its grim
news of flood and fire threats
in my hip pocket, and poked a
finger into Rod's letter, curious
to know what he was up to now.
Memory revived that February
day of 1940, with its scene of
state and industry forestry men
packed around a big table in the
office of Governor Clarence
Martin at Olympia.
William B. Greeley was the
dominant leader, as he always
was in any gathering of forest
ers and lumbermen. Governor
Martin and Colonel Greeley to
gether put the question of how
to fight fire with publicity to
Russell Peters, then managing
editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer,
and to Roderic Olzen
dam, then the top forestry pub
lic relations specialist of the
Northwest. And how to do it
answers were easy for them to
provide.
Then "What'll we call the
program?" asked Governor Mar
tin. "Xeep Washington Green,"
said Rod Olzendam, and gave
cogent reasons.
The name was instantly and
unanimously accepted. And a
minute later Rod was made
chairman by acclamation.
The Green Mountain Boys
My own contribution was the
nomination of Stewart Holbrook
for the director of the program.
There was no debate on his
name, either.
July, 1940. saw "Keep Oregon
Green" in action, under Edmund
Hayes and John B. Woods Sr.
Rod Olzendum was the orator
of the evening at Oregon Gov.
Charles Sprague's kickoff din
ner. Rod Olzendam was chairman
throughout Stewart Holbrook'i
four years as KWG director, in
fighting forest fires with pub
licity. One of the most amazing
things about the record the two
leaders made was its really tri
fling cost.
"What's amazing about that?"
Rod said one day. "We're both
from Vermont."
Well. Rod Olzendam moved
upward and on. from one good
work to another. His biggest
and best accomplishment was
his administration of the Social
Security program of the state of
Washington in the years 1949
1952. And now, as I learned at
last from his letter, he is can
didate for Washington Secre
tary of State. This was good
news indeed from the mailbox,
a rousing hope for the Ever
green state.
