Keep Washington Green
By TERESA TRIMBLE
Smokey and I have spent a
busy week at the Mason County
Fair. Simpson Timber Company
provided us with a booth where
we could hand out KWG
literature. My brother, who is my
regular Smokey, was temporarily
relieved of the job when Jim
Connolly filled in for him. Jim is
an old pro at this for he was
Smokey the Bear for the Forest
Festival Court this year. Smokey
was interviewed by the KMAS
, mo
radio station and was mobbed b~r
hundreds of kids at the
fairgrounds who wanted to shake
his hand or touch his fur.
I hope that all of you that
picked up literature at my booth
will read it thoroughly. Don't just
glance at it and toss it away but
really read it. The message that
the material carries is far more
important that you might think.
By talking with people and
handing out KWG literature, they
will become aware of the danger
Give
ire
and costliness of a forest fire.
Please read your material and use
your litter bags and ashtrays that
were given to you.
Do you know the story of
Smokey the Bear? Once there
lived a small cub in the Lincoln
National Forest in New Mexico. It
had been very hot during the
month of May. Then it happened
- some careless camper forgot to
put out his campfire completely
or maybe it was a careless smoker
that started the fire but
ion
immediately the small spark
became a roaring forest fire. Men
from all over came to help fight
the fire. It took many days before
the fire was under control. One of
the forest rangers spotted a small,
wounded and burned cub clinging
to a charred tree. He was taken to
a hospital where he was cared fo r
until he was well again. They
named the cub Smokey. An
appropriate name, don't you
think? Smokey immediately
became a popular bear. He was
essage
asked to pose for fire prevention
posters. He became a star on radio
and television.
As Smokey grew older he still
told everyone the same message,
as he did as a_cub. He tells us how
he hates forest fires and wants us
to help him prevent them. Have
you been doing your part in
helping Smokey? He lost his
mother, brothers and sisters and
friends in a carelessly started fire;
the next fire might happen to
yOU.
