"Burned Timber Builds No Hom *'.' 1947 Forest Fire Prevention Campaign Slogan

Washington, D. C., June 13.-Expecting a greater-thanever number of recreation seekerscamPers, fishermen, hunters, hikers, trail-riders and the like-in the forests next year, the State Foresters Association and the U. S. Forest Service today in a joint statement announced plans for a nation-wide drive to prevent man-caused forest fires in 1947. Cooperating in the campaign are the American Forest Products Industries, Inc., the American Forestry Association. and the American Red Cross.

Key slogans for the campaign, as approved by representatives of the interested organizations, will be geared first to the expectation of greatly increased use of the forests by recreation seekers, and second to the urgent nation-wide need for timber for home-building in the next few years' The first slogan is, "Please, folks, be extra careful this year. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires." The second is. "Burned timber btrilds no homes."

' Tied to this second slogan, and to be reproduced on thousands of posters, folders, book-marks, cartoons and other publicity devices, 'ivill be a graphic representation of the well known forest fire prevention bear, "Smokey," dressed like a carpenter and standing before a half-finished house rvhich he can't complete because of lack of lumber. In other posters and campaign media next year, "Smokey" will be joined by two little bears, "Jokey and Pokey."

The fire prevention program lor 1947 was prepared by the Los Angeles office of the advertising firm o{ Foote, Cone & Belding, as a public service, for .The Advertising ,Council, Inc. It was presented to a meeting of the cooperating organizations today by Ted Repplier, prpsident, and Douglas Meldrum, staff director, of The Advertising Council, Inc., of New York City. The program was accepted on behaif of the meeting by R. E. McArdle, acting as chief of the Federal forest service in the absence of Lyle F. Watts, ancl by Richard F. Hammatt, fire prevention campaign director for the service.

To implement the program a rvork committee has been named, including Charles Flory, state forester, South Carolina; R. L. Emerick, state forester, Pennsylvania ; A. R.

Kienholz, state forester, Connecticut; Howard J. Eberly, David P. Godwin and Dana Parkinson. of the Federal Forest Service.

While figures for the last several years show that America's forests and woodlands have suffered an average of 210,000 forest fires a year, the last two years, during which campaigns similar to tl,e one prepared for 1947 have been conducted, are reported to have shown a steady drop in the number of fires. For 1944, according to the Forest Service, the number was cut approximately in half, and preliminary reports for 1945 are expected to shorv a further drop.

The Central Lumber and Building Supply, Hayward, Calif., is no longer a partnership, and as of June 27,1946, G. E. Duarte retired from the company. A. D. Arlington will carry on the business at the same location, and the same firm name will be used.

Bepcirs crnd Modernizcrtions Made at Scoticr Mill During Long Shutdown

Ever since the Redwood industry strike has been in progresl a crew of more than one hundred men has been continually at work inside the Scotia sar'r'mill plant of The Pacific Lumber Company. These men, because they are carpenters and millwrights, are allorved to go back and forth through the picket lines of mill strikers. This crew has been repairing, rebuilding, and in many lvays modernizing the plant, and getting it ready for the greatest production of its history, if the strike ever ends. Everything : yorn is being replaced, and many mechanical improvementshave been installed. The biggest of all Redwood plants and one of the biggest mills of any kind in existence, the Scotia mill is now in better running shape than it has ever been since it vi'as first built.

Induskicl Construction Plcrnning Continues Despite Limitcrtions

A mail stlrvey of 5,000 architects and engineers, conductced by the Timber Engineering Company, Washington, D. C., indicates that designing and planning for industrial construction continue at a good rate despite limitations on this type of u'ork set up by the housing order VHP-l.

Those reporting averaged better than five projects in process for 1946 and two jobs for 1947. Of these nearly half of the L946 jobs were being planned under the $15,000 cost limitation and hence may proceed rvithout authoriza' tion. The balance will go ahead if C.P.A. authorization is granted.

Timber construction is still being favorably considered as is evidenced by the fact that over 30% of. the proposed work was reported as specifying the Teco system of timber construction.
