Forest Protection
Record One Of Best

Despite a slight increase in
number of forest fires and
acreage burned, Montana's 1851
woodland protection record is
one of the best in the nation.
A total of 522 fires burned l.
833 acres last year. This en-
pareS to 425 fires that burned
1850 acres in 1850. All but 143
of Montana's 1851 forest fires
were started by lightning. Care
less smokers started 48 fires
and campers, "a.
The nation kept pace with
Montana last year by record
ing the lowest fire losses in his
tory. The U. S. acreage-burned
figure for 1851 was 10,780,622-
one-third less than the prev
ious all-time low recorded in
1949.
IAN alert public, aware of it's
responsibilities for being care
full with fire in the woods, de-
serves much credit for keeping
the nations forest fire losses
down." says James c. McClell-
an, chief forester for American

The Low Down From
Hickory Grove

In today's seminar we will
discuss Education" That, says
Henry, should be something -
you and education, he says.
And that right there shows that
everybody don't savVy every
thing on today's subject. Henry
figures education is something
you get only in a book - he
don't figure, I reckon, that a
kick in your breadbasket by a
mule is also education 1t
teaches you that jeopardy turks
if you don't watch your step
when Harvesting the crltter'
But to proceed, somebody is
sounding-off via ponderous
writin' and radio and etc. -
and no end-that more schools
are the only way to avoid COM
munism. But checking up on
the communist culpritS of the
U.S.A. who are being put IN the
coop you find no i%lliterates. So
there is more to education than
just school houses.
1t is what you Ceacn IN CLe
schoolhouse. A young fellow
getting his sheepskin at a big
university and then proceeding
to take off on q SocialiStic
maneuver to lower the boom
on private ownership, demon
strates - the young fellow does
- that horse sense was not
included in his curriculum.
But in closing, and to show
that I am not against books
- and to round out your edu-
caution - T suggest "Aesop" as
one to dust off and peruSe -
Kindergarten to Pho - from
5 years old to 100.

Forest Products Industries. 1.-THE
increased effectiveness of fire
fighting units, expanded use of
radio communication and pow
er equipment in the woods, and
the extension of organized pro-
lection have been major factors
in cutting fire losses" McClell-
an adds.
Montana's forest protection
record is carefully analysed in
a statistical report now being
distributed by APP, national
coordinator of the Keep Green
forest fire prevention campaign
underway in 80 states. A Keep
Montana Green program has
played a potent part in keep
ing the public aware of it's re-
sponsibility in being careful of
fire in the woods.
