Is That So?
By EUCENE BURNS
Ranger-Naturalist
Sugar supplies nothing in nu
trition except calories.
The flintlock rifle and the tin
der box were the two most im
portant things our pioneer an
cestors carried and of the two
perhaps the tinder box with its
flint, steel and piece of scorched
cloth and tinder was the more
important.
Today most woodsmen carry
matches in waterproof cases
but even so, explorers and hunt
ers who are going to difficult
places for prolonged trips away
from civilization still carry the
old-fashioned flint and steel.
The modern camper would be
well-advised to practice building
a fire with these primitive tools.
Besides, it's knowledge which
will raise him a cut above the
ordinary outdoorsman.
Using much the same methods
as the pioneers of old did the
modern camper can carry a small
piece of flint or any rock that is
harder than steel. With it, a
lightweight fold file, and a
charred cloth. This can be made
by setting a piece of linen or
outing flannel in an old coffe
can with an air-tight lid and
setting it on fire. As soon as it
blazes brightly, douse the flame
by putting on the close-fitting
lid. Then, when the lid is re
moved, the fire will have gone
out and the black flakes of dry
cloth will be ready to catch and
hold a spark whenever needed.
But keep it bone dry.
To make the fire, you might
practice in your back yard. Find
a location which is not windy
and away from inflammables.
Place on the ground a generous
handful of dry tinder dry cedar
bark which has been pounded
into a pulp and then threaded
apart with the fingers, birch
bark, fine grass tops, the down
from milkweed or cattails, the
fluffy tops of dead asters or gol
denrod, or as the pioneers did,
bits of dry cotton. All these are
good. On top of this place the
charred cloth. Place one end of
the file on the tinder. Angle the
file so that when a glancing blow
is struck by the flint, the sparks
will fly downward atop the
scorched cloth. With practice,
one blow is often enough to catch
the spark.
As soon as the cloth is smol
dering, cup the tinder around it
and pick it up with one hand
and blow the whole mass into
flame. When it flames, drop it
into a heap of small kindling
made of dead and dry cotton
wood, willow, alder, poplar, syc
amore, balsam, other evergreens
or soft maple.
Atop this pile firewood larg
er pieces of oak, maple, hickory,
gum, burch, elm, ash mesquite
whatever happens to be handy.
All these hold fire well.

YES, IT'S A FACT...
There is no transferring of your goods from
one truck to the other or into the wart
house when you move by BEKINS!
Your goods are loaded on a BEKINS van at
your door and delivered on this very same
van regardless of the destination.
This practice greatly reduces the possibility
of damages that would occur through rehan
dling and makes for a safer, faster delivery.
These vans cover the entire United States
and are so coordinated that they hove no
equal in providing you with the best service
obtainable. WHY NOT GET THE BEST
WHEN IT COSTS NO MORE? A move by
BEKINS will be the best move of your lite.
