SOUND WARNING FOR
 FIRE PREVENTION IN
 ARIZONA FORESTS
PROTECTIVE FORCES ARE ORGAN. FEED TO COMBAT AGAINST
 DRYNEss AND HIGH WINDS


 Recent reports received at tfe local forestry headquarters from the var. ious forest supervisors in Arizona and New Mexico indicate that the forests are rapidly becoming dry and that no time is being lost in recr 4itng the protective forces which, during thu fire season, supplement the reg liar ! ear-long administrative forces. Ky May 1. 1t Is expected that the fire protective plans on all of the forests will be in full working order. la brief this means that trails will hay been cleaned out telephone lines thoroughly overhauled. tools and sup. pies distributed at strategic points throughout the forests and. that look. out men and patrol men will be at their posts ready to detect and com bat any fires that may occur.
 Aleady a number of firses have been reported. owing to their prompt dis covery, however. by forest officers none of them assumed large propor- ions.
 Ire fire season throughout Arizona and New Mexico was considered es- pecially bad last year on account of severe electrical storms and high winds. While according to statistics tho majority of fires were set by lght ni.'g, uui.e a number were doubles. aused by carelessness on the part of tf ar hnd occas.on to visit the national forests Forest officers feel that t5e fire hazard can be appreclahly reduced if those who go 70 the mountains mahe it point to cooperate with them by always bearing in mind the danger involved ay being careless with fire in the woods and particularly in the observance of the following six rules
 l. Be sure your match is out be- tore you throw it away.

 2. Don't build camp fire any larg- CT than is absolutely necessary. Never tNA'' ~ tNti AoA d hAiglA AAhit MlluuNl putting it OUT with water or earth.
 {. Don't build bonares. The wind may come up at any time and start fire you cannot control.
 G. If you discover fire, put it out if possible if you can't, get word of it 10 the nearest U s. Forest Ranger or State Fire Warden just as quickly as you possibly can.
