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.
