Homes for Parplegics
Some 1300 paralyzed war veter
ans in the United States have been
certified as eligible to receive
federal grants to help them acquire
homes especially adapted for wheel
chair living, according to the
veterans administration.
The grants were authorized in
an act passed last year by Con
gress under which the VA defrays
50 per cent of the cost of such
homes. Grants cannot exceed $10,-
000.
Eligible to receive the grants
are those veterans paralyzed due
to service-connected injury or di
sease of the spinal cord which
deprives them of the use of their
legs and lower part of the body.
The homes incorporate special
features such as ramps, instead of
steps, doorways wide enough to
accommodate a wheelchair, spec
ial bathroom fixtures, and exer
cise room equipped in accordance
with the needs of the patient.
The veteran can utilize his grant
in several ways. He may buy a
lot and build a home on it, remodel
his present home to suit his needs,
or apply the grant against mort
gage indebtedness if he already
has a suitable home.
The VA, in addition to pro
viding the housing grant, supplies
model plans, specifications and
blueprints, which the ve.eran may
use if he wishes.
Veterans who believe they are
eiig b’e to receive a vh.cl cha r
housing grant should apply di
rectly to the VA regional office
in their home state. Applieat ons
will be forwarded to Washington,
D.C., for approval.

One Small Smoke
The clock was at 1:55 p.m. when
the young lookout in the tower
on Tyee Mountain spied a smudge
of darker gray in the haze below.
He took quick sights through his
fire finder and telephoned the lo
cation of the smoke to head
quarters of the Lemolo Tree Farm.
By wire and radio the warning
flashed between other protection
stations and their crews.
The Hemlock District lookout
on a peak above Cougar Canyon
verified the location of the small
smoke. Away westward a state
forestry man checked in.
The smoke was on industry-
owned land, within the Lemolo
Tree Farm. Forester Gene Rogers
had the shortest run. He rolled
for it in a tonker truck with two
men—Ralph Wiley and Bill Hill,

From the fire hall at Green

den started for the smoke in a
big pump truck with seven fire
fighters.
War in the Woods
Far up in the Tyee National
Forest the federal ranger and his
crew stood by. Regulations did
not allow them to go outside the
national forest boundaries to fight
fire except when federal land was
endangered.
In the logging woods, boxes of
fire-fighting tools were stationed
for quick use in emergencies. Down
in camp trucks and equipment for
defense against enemy fire wert
ready for action. The skilled log-
ge>s were also skilled fire-fighters
as a matter of course, of exper
ience. The logging tractors and
bulldozers could be swung into
action against fire with no delay
when ordered to it.
A powerful mechanized fighting
force could be mobilized speedily
and thrown into battle against a
serious fire outbreak anywhere
within the two hundred and fifty
thousand acres of forest country
tributary to the Lemolo Valley.
There is the same sort of organ
ization in a hundred other areas
of the Douglas fir region, the big-
timber country of Western Wash-
ington and Oregon. In greatest
emergency, forces from several
areas might be thrown into the
one firefight, as a blaze could get
the best of a crew of four—of ten
—a hundred—three hundred—of
three thousand or more fire
fighters.
America Aflame
“East of the mountains” in
Washington and Oregon the pine
forests are also organized for
summer warfare. In each state
there are fifteen hundred and
more summertime firefighters,
mostly college and high-school
studentB, on industry tree farms,
on state forestry districts and on
the ranger districts of the national
forests.
Through eleven Western states
the organization is repeated. In
nine states of the South the forest
fire is a year-round menace. In
the Lake States and in the North
east, the history of forest fires
is red with the loss of thousands
of human lives as well as black
forest destruction.
Two hundred thousand forest
fires a year. Thirty million acres
burned over each year. This has
been the story, without great vari
ation, since the keeping of com
plete records on fires in the woods
has begun.
How may enemy fire be beaten
in the forests
with water if possible.
But before
all else comes forest-fire preven
tion. Stop the one small smoke
from starting. For this one small
smoke is the start of every forest
fire.”
