Some cigarette flipper, late one
summer night, had tossed a lighted
fag into dry roadside grass next to a
green young forest. Pat's grand­
father tried to corral the fire with a
shovel, but it was soon apparent he
would need more force. Pat ran
home a quarter mile, called out grand­
ma, and the two loaded a stone sled
with five-gallon tins of water. Pat
then climbed on a small tractor, which
she scarcely knew how to start. She
backed it around, hooked on to the
stone sled and took off over ditches,
roads and fields to the fjre with
grandmother hanging on for dear
life and holding the water cans up-

who wrote: “Will you please send me
a new Green Guard manual? Our
house burned down and all my things
are lost.”
Or the 78-year-old man down at
Florence who insisted on being per­
mitted to join the Green Guards and
is now one of our best correspondents.
His second childhood is a wonder and
may well become another “Oregon
System” of how to keep young in old
