Spring Fires in
Forest of Calf.
Warning Subject

Every motorist and, in fact,
every resident of California this
year is directly affected by the
lack of rainfall, and the conse-
quent danger of brush and forest
fires. These disastrous conflagra-
tions have occurred in the social.
ed wet season, indicating conclu-
sively that the danger in the dry
season will be multiplied many fold.
To insure extraordinary precautions
against fire on the part of all
campers and motorists generally,
the Automobile Club of Southern
California is calling attention to
the lesson of forest protection week
just designated by President Cool
idge for April 81 to 81 inclusive.
The observance this spring will
mark the fourth annual intensive
campaign to acquaint the public
with the damage caused by forest
fires. More than 10000 fires occur
every year in the United States and
an area of approximately 100000
acres is swept by flame. Most of
'Hio dPPaiiihS ueStrucllOH comes III
the western states, principally in the
Pacific Coast district.
In Southern California these fires
destroy the efficacy of the water
sheds upon which every citizen is
directly dependent for domestic and
agricultural needs.
1t is highly probable that camp
fire permits will be issued sparing-
ly and that the closest watch will
be kept on every one entering the
national forests. One careless smok-
er may devastate thousands of acres
of invaluable water shed and des-
troy ranch houses, cattle and game.
Every effort should be made by
every individual in Southern Cali
fornia, declares the auto club, to
prevent fires starting. 1t is point
ed out that never before has the
danger been so great from fires or
has there been such need of pro-
tecting all the brush and timber.
