Questions and
Answers Thereto

The Western News starts this
week department of questions and
answers dealing with forest service
administration. The questions are
some of those actually asked for
est service men. Many of them
bring up queries that have fire.
quently come to many of us. The
department will be conducted by
George Hayes of Libby, who is en-
ployed this summer in public re-
1ations capacity by the Kootenai ma
tional forest. The first installment
of questions and answers follows
The Editor
Question-Will a cigarette really
cause a forest fire?
Answer - Many people ask this
question and since they are the
probable causes of more fires than
any other one source the answer to
those who have experimental or
who have seen fires caused by cigar
cites is obvious. Amy person who
does not believe that a burning
tailor-made cigarette will cause a
fire need only take minute or
two of his time and experiment.
Take a cigarette, light it and take
few puffs and then place in on
some rotten wood, decayed vege-
table matter or other debris which
can be found in hundreds of places
along our roads and trails, and
you'll have fire 1t may not burst
into a flame at once but may smoul-
: der for hours if not days before TAX
ing off. On the other hand, if con-
ditions are right-and they are u.s.
ually right during July and August
you will probably have flame in
is or 20 minutes, especially if a
breeze is blowing. 1t only takes an
instant to put them Quit may
save a years employment at the
local saWmill
Question-If someone starts fire
on my land and it spreads to adj
joining timber, either national or
privately owned, am | responsible
even though | had nothing to do
with starting of the fire.
AnsWer-He is responsible even
If the fire is started by lightning
Question-Can forest service en-
ployees buy their groceries through
the forest service?
Answer = Regular employees of
the forest service may get their
groceries through eemnissary a
cost plus five per cent handling
charge.
Question-What wages are paid
fire fighters?
AnsWer-Fire fighters are paid
thirty cents per hour and board
These wages are purposely lowered
to take the profit out of fire. fight
ing and to do away with the temp
tation Of setting fires in order to
get job.
Question-Why does not the for
est service use local men instead of
importing outsiders for many Of
their available jobs?
Answer-This is one of the most
difficult problems confronted by the
local forestry office. The CCC pro-
gram has more or less been forced
upon all forests by the federal gov
eminent. It is incumbent upon local
forest officials to make use of this
labor wherever possible. They are
also required by the regional office
to place SO many forestry students
from the various universities
throughout the country each year.
In spite of these regulations the To-
cal office does place many local men
in the field each year. At the pres
ent time, there are "a local men,
besides 6 local ERA's.
Question-Do the employees liv-
ing in the new homes built at gov
eminent expense have to pay rent?
