Forest Service observed after a series of conflagrations had given the} . rangers and CCC enrollees a hectic} time in a number of national forests . this past fortnight. ‘Now with the Fourth of July] coming along, fireworks will add io] the danger,’’ the forester declared. . “The spirit of the Fourth does not} call for shooting off fireworks in the . woods or on highways. That sort of} whoopie is much too hazardous for . our forests and agricultural lands.”’ . Despite stringent State and Fed-. eral laws, forest fires caused hy fire crackers, smokers, camrers and the; other human agents amounted to 83 . per cent of the stats’s 8730 fires last] year. An area of 730,000 acres was burned. . Fire protection forces say that it! will take forethought ‘and coopera-! tion on the part of the public to overcome this annual destruction. j With the present fire season in full swing and no letup expected until late fall forest rangers are keeping a close eye on the twice daily reports of the U. S. Weather Bu-. reau. Local forecasts of impending . changes in weather form the basis . for the modern fire danger rating system. Variations in temperature, relative . humidity, wind velocity and direc. tion, and 24 hour precipitation rec. ords may mean the difference between a small fire that can be con-; trolled by one forest fireman and a} widespread conflagration requiring . the services of a thousand -CCC en-. rollees and volunteer fire fighters. . !

NAZI PLANES What is the “life expectancy” of aj} war plane? The question is pertinent, in light of nationwide excitement over: mass aircraft for U. S. de-} answer sheds the. basic d air production af fense. And light on ences in building rope and America. Nazi Germany has. created word’s largest air force. But it built for a specifie objective —bomb. And, incredible as this may Nazi . production methods anticipate. the average life of a war plane in. action at not more than 24 to 25, hours! } Dominated by such an obiective. . an amazing mass production has} been possible. It is as though yor! were to say, “Inferior materials and. methods ate good enough for some-! thing that will only last a dy.” The American aircraft industry, has its heart right here in California, has always built for maximum life and extreme efficiency, for it creates planes for peace as well as The U. S. Army and Navy and the air lines demand the highest standards in the world, The life expectancy of our planes is rated in months and years—not in hours. Today American built aircratfi, military and commercial, are the finest in the world—sturdier, faste”, more maneuverable than anything Europe has been able to develop. But they are produced to American standards and by American methods.
