wears the complete outfit of the U. S. Forest Service's air
borne forest fire fighters. The experts at the pioneer Aerial
Fire Depot at Missoula, Mont., employ a three-pronged at
tack smoke-jumpers, hellpcopters and chemicals to combat
most fires in the northwest. The outfit worn by Carver
includes a nylon suit, two parachutes, football helmet with
wire face guard", and emergency signaling equipment.

of helicopter operation at high
crews, refurbishing machines
and gathering supplies has
been going on for weeks.
Traditionally, the fire sea
son begins in the Pacific
Northwest this month.
Crew Headquarters
The Missoula depot, com
pleted in 1954 and dedicated
. by President Eisenhower,
serves us headquarters for the
aerial fire crews in the U.S.
Forest Service's Region 1.
The region takes in some 8
million acres of roadless for
est lands over Montana, Ida
ho's panhandle, northeastern
Washington and the Black
Hills of South Dakota.
It was in this area that the
business of fighting forest
fires from the air really got
started in the 1020's'with
aerial observation flights.
In 1940, America's first
smoke-Jumpers - men trained
to parachute toward a new
born blaze and to keep it from
spreading into a conflagration
-took off from Missoula to
exercise their new skills.
The 1940 model smoke
jumper, according to Al Ham
mond, a 10-year veteran of the
service who now directs the
training of the parachute
crews, is far better equipped
than the crews of the early
'40s, both in know how and
tools.
Mosl Experienced
Of the 150 men flying to
the region's fires this season,
100 are experienced from al
least one past season's work.
Several have been flying for
years-like Hammond.
Most, however, are college
students between Hi and 28,
weighing up to 180 pounds,
and all in lop physical shape.
Between fires, they join rang
ers in regular forestry work
but are always on call for
their regular aerial duties.
When they leave their
plane to land In an area des
ignated by the airborne spot
ter!, they float down on an
orange and while nylon para
chute, 28 to 32 feet in dia
altitudes in the summer's heat
and around the aerial turbu
lence of a fire.
The depot has at its com
mand, from the nearby John
son Flying Service, a small
squadron of World War II
Navy torpedo bombers -
TBM's-equlpped to "bomb"
fires with water made "sticky"
with chemicals called borate,
bentonite and vermlcullte.
"These are only retard-
enls," Hammond explained,
'to wet the branches and
needles and brush and keep
10 flames from spreading
loo rapidly. It still lakes men
on the ground to put the fires
out."
Without Fatality
Since the smoke - jumpers
were organized, the men have
made more than 33,000 jumps
without a fatality in parachut
ing. However, two jumpers
were lost last season In an air
plane landing accident at
Moose Creek, Ida. In 1941), 12
were killed In the Mann Gulch
fire near Helena, Mont., after
they had gone to the scene by
truck and were trapped In a
pocket by wind-shifted flames.
In 1959, there were 155
fires In Region 1, 90 per cent
of them caused by lightning.
Smoke - jumpers made 590
Individual fire jumps, with
two to 10 men hilling most
blazes. The season's peak was
Aug. 1, when 101 men jump
ed on widely scattered fires as
a raging thunderstorm swept
the area.
Hammond couldn't begin to
estimate how many million
dollars worth of timber the
smoke-jumpers have saved in
the last 20 years by their
prompt arrival at fire scenes.
"It's plenty, though," he
smiled.

children must accept other
family misfortunes.
Because he is only a child,
Frank will naturally take his
parents' attitude toward his
misfortune. If they shrink in
fear of the opinion of others
he will do the same.
If, on the other hand, they
can accept the broader re
ligious view that there is good
and evil In all of Us and that
we may choose one way or
the other, they will do Frank
the service of making him
realize that neither he nor his
father is basically different
from other human beings. He
will recognize that he has the
same potentiality as others for
being an upright person.
