Porter Praises
Smokey Bear on
Floor of House
Washington -(DPB- Represen
tative Charles O. Porter (D
Ore.) Wednesday praised the
United States -Forest Service
nd its firefighting Smokey
Bear on the floor of the House
of Representatives.
Porter praised the forest
service "for its ingenious pro
motion of Smokey Bear and
ior lis other remarkably well
executed efforts to save the
nation's forests for the profit
ana pleasure of everyone."
Richard . MeCardle. For
est Service Chief, told Porter
that Smokey Bear receives
more than a thousand letters
and postcards daily, mostly
from children. The Forest
Service has set ub a Junior
Forest Range organization for
children which has more than
three million members. .
MeCardle told Porter that
"We believe there i- a direct
correlation between Smokey's
success and the dramatic for
est fire reduction since the
program started in 1953."
Portervsaid the record
shows that in 1941 before the
Cooperative Forest Fire Pre
vention Campaign 210,000 for-
ets ' fires burned 32 million
acres.
According to the Oregon
congressman present figures
indicate that last year less
than 100,000 fires burned
fewer than 4 million acres!
Porter said that these re
eent figures resulted despite
a 600 per cent increase in' use
of the forests.

. mick to cover up for" dawdling
senators.
Just before the roll is closed,
a senator in the chamber, will
ask innocently whether - he
has voted on the bill. "He
knows he has, the clerk knows
. heh as, and so -does the presid
ing officer. Nevertheless, they
go thorugh the formality of
checking the record to stall
for time for the missing
colleagues. '
If more time is needed, a
senator will even ask how he
voted, as though " he didn't
know. There have been times
when half the senators in the
chamber, so far as the record
shows, didn't know whether
or how they voted.
. When all missing senators

of killing his socialite wife,
Barbara, has been denied per
mission to attend her funeral

Magyar .Ifjusag" I reported
indignantly on the troubles of
a young man who had to keep
improving his .offer when he
set out to find a wife;
The newspaper said that he
received only a few replies to
an advertisement in which he
said: "Young man, firm char
acter, seeks good girl ..who
says with him in good 'and
bad days."
A slightly better response
followed a second ad saying
(Serious, well-situated, young
intellectual seeks the acquain
tance of pretty, intelligent
girl."

said the young man ' got a
"sackful" of letters when he
made a third advertisement

man with nice apartment and
car wants to get acquainted
only with really beautiful and'
i young girl." i
