LIGHTED CIGARETTE—
$70,000 GONE—
A
SHORT time ago, a careless Oregon
motorist tossed a lighted cigarette from his car.
An area of 5,000 acres, covered with young tim
ber, was burned. At the present average lum
ber price, that means that $70,000 in payrolls
and supplies was lost to the state. And, accord
ing to a conservation authority, “it would really
amount to a loss of well over a million dollars in
the future resources of the state.” Many decades
are required before a burned tree is replaced
and devastated land becomes valuable again.
Preventing fire is said to be 75 per cent of re
forestation. And more than 90 per cent of all
forest fires are man-made. In every lumber
state, you can see thousands of ghostly acres,
covered with only the blackened stumps of once
great trees—grim monuments to ignorance and
carelessness.
Every individual owes his fellow citizens an
obligation when he goes into the woods, or
drives through timbered country. That obliga
tion is easily discharged—but failure to do so
may result in the loss of millions of dollars, and
the ruin of irreplacable natural beauties. Take
the utmost care with smoking materials—and
don’t throw matches and butts, even though you
think they’re out, from your car. Watch camp
fires like a hawk, and when you leave, saturate
them with wrater, then bury with dirt. Obey the
law—especially the local ruling that are put into
effect during fire season in areas where hazards
are especially great.
Remember that forests are our heritage, and
that it is up to us whether we dissipate or con
serve that magnificent legacy.
