Smokey The Bear
A Winner

Smokey the Bear is a winner. He
has won the hearts of millions and
has made grand strides in the cause
against careless fires. And he has
won stature in one of the greatest
cooperative advertising campaigns
in history.
1t all started when the Advertise
ing Council Inc, the u. S. Forest
Service and the Association of State
FOresters joined in a combined eff
fort to carry fire prevention to all
people. While the campaign had
started during the early war years,
Smokey didn't come on the scene
until 1916, and then he crept into
the heart of America without great
fanfare.
The real Smokey was bedrag-
gled cub then, badly burned in a
devastating fire in New Mexico. He
was treated for his burns and then
taken to the zoo in Washington,
d. G. where he remains today. The
character he inspired, the gruff bear
with blue jeans and rangers hat,
has become a symbol known to
every school aged youngster in the
nation.
Each year the Advertising Coun-
Gil plans the prevention program for
the year to come. It is adopted by
the Association of State Foresters
and the U. S. Forest Service and
work is begun in turning out the
millions of posters, easels, book
marks, calendars and other items
for free distribution across the ma
ton. The Advertising Council is a
volunteer agency, doing the design
ing as a public service. The distri-
button is handled by the various
state forestry departments and the
u. S. Forest Service. With a new
theme each year, the actual pieces
that are distributed must run into
the billions.
