Tells Importance
Protecting Woods
From the Insects

Hon. Neil L. Violette. state forest
commissioner, in q letter of instruc-
lions to forest fire wardens, says that
the protection of the forests from
insects is closely connected with
their protection from fire.
"You can be OF much assistance
in this work by reporting evidences
of damage by the spruce budworm.
bark boring beetles and other forest
insects" continues Commissioner Vi
olette in his letter to the wardens.
"Such reports are particularly
valuable in the early stages of an
attack, so that action to meet the
situation can be taken before wide
spread destruction occurs. Tine
preparation as accurately as possible
of the type maps that have abeeH
sent you will be helpful in this d.
rection as we'll as in fire profession.
Game Protection .pIs
"Forest fire wardens are not game
wardens. They are, however, inter-
ested in fish and game protection
and should cooperate In making
such protection effective as fair as
is possible without interference with
their regular work. Much can be
done in an educational way by di-
recting the attention of travellers to
the importance of our game re-
sources and the need for their pres
ervation. Assistance in apprehend-
ing violators of the game laws can
sometimes be rendered, although

Industry is interested in keeping

siderable number of boys who have

Industry has its eye on the vocation
al school and will educate its own
employees in those classes.
Less than 800 boys and girls are
employed in industry now in the
State. Industry does not want boys
and girls staying out of high school.
It's desire is to have the boys and
girls for it's own selfish advantage
and thus wants them to get all the
education they can. But industry

your activities in this direction
should not be carried to q point
where they will arouse hostility to
the fire protection work and thus in
crease the fire danger.
Fish and game wardens are exc
officio fire wardens. They can be
of much assistance in an educational
way, in preventing and extinguish-
ing fires, and in law enforcement,
and their active cooperation should
be enlisted.
Education
"In what field is it more true than
in forest protection that an ounce
of prevention Is worth a pound of
cure? The fire that never starts
does no damage. One Of your most
important duties is to keep fires from
starting. This can be done largely
through education. Every member
of the force should therefore regard
himself as missionary called to
preach the gospel of fire protection.
Most of our fires are due to eth
err ignorance or carelessness. You
can help reduce their number by
calling the attention of the public
in general. and of those going into
the woods in particular, to the dam
ger from fire and to the need for
the utmost care in its use. Impress
upon them the fact that fire is al
ways dangerous. Teach them how
to handle matches and smoking ma
terials. where and how to build a
campfire and how to put it out. Set
them a good example by yourself
refraining from smoking in the
woods.
Never lose an opportunity to talk
things over with fishermen, hunters,
campers, motorists and other trav-
elers. Distribute freely the fire pre-
vention tags and literature, but re-
member that few minutes talk is
worth more than pages of printed
matter. Patrolmen particularly
should regard themselves as educa-
tional agents. The value of their
services is measured, rather By the
number of fires they prevent from
starting, than by the number they
put out"
