The essay follows and speaks for itself: THE ELIMINATION OF MANCAUSED FOREST FIRES: Dawn—a rustle in the pines—and from his distant peak an alert lookout sees the first wisp of a tell-tale smoke. ‘Noon—that dawn breeze has become'a gale, that first wisp a raging inferno. Dusk—fnightenpd wild creatures flee before the flames, organized ranks of men labor in the stifling air—and—before another day, weary firefighters load their tools and forest rangers record another fire controlled, but there lie thousands of acres of blackened, smoking *ruin— a testimony ito the carelessness of man. . It is a paramount task of our generation to so educate the people that man is no longer the forest’s greatest risk, but rather, the forests’s’staunchest friend. It is a difficult task, but not an impossible one. There is need for coordination of effort by those organizations of thoughtful adults throughout the country who are interested in solving the problems of conservation. The National Federation of Women’s Clubs is one of the most powerful of such organizations about such cooperation, The elemination of man-caused fires requires a-reduction of hazards along highways, railroads and around towns and buildings in — forested areas. Tihis can be done efficiently of government agencies, but it requires the appropriation of greater funds by federal, state and private industry. Fire prevention throughout lumbering operations comes under this particular phase of hazard reduction. The second problem is less tangible and more _ difficult—that of adult education. Forest users can be divided generally into two classes, ‘the first including those who go to the forests for recreation, who buy. timber, who depend upon the fortsts for watershed protection, or who are in some way aided by them in the business of making a living. These can be reached by visual education and by designated observances such of Fire Prevention ‘Week, and Conservation Week. There also must be continued progress in recreational development in publicly owned forests, for giving a place to play, and to know nature, and at the same time be comfortable is a major step in forest appreciation, and therefore, forest care. In the second group are those who by inheritance or training believe in theory which has been disproved) for thtory which has been disproved) for NEVADA CITY ASSAY & REFINING OFFICE Practical mining tests from 25 to 1000 pounds, giving the free gold percentage of sulphurets, value of sulphurets and tailings.

For these we must resort to law. In most sections of the country existing fire laws are adequate, but they must be more rigidly enforced, and offenders punished more severely. There is a channel for the education of this group and in the same channel lies the ultimate answer to our problem. It is the education of our youth. The boundless energy and enthusiasm of children is akin to the surge and power of nature. Children are impressionable, eager to learn, and ideas which are attractive to the child are absorbed and they do incline the tree of adult life. In school, and in youth organizations, children can be given practical lessons in woodcraft and taught those precautions which are fundamental if we are to eleminate man-caused fires. There they can learn-the fallacy of light-burning and many fathers have been converted to the cause of fire prevention by their children. One’ ranger has a junior forest ranger group among the boys -and girls of his community. They display their knowledge and their. simple badges with pride. Striving for Utopia perhaps— andj} yet—another dawn—another generation, and the reseeded' burned-over area has been nurtured by kindly season. A breeze in the pines, and timid creatures nestle within the forest, protected and secure. There lie thousands of acres of beautiful timber ——a testimony to the thoughtfulness and care of man. ART HELLINGS ENTERS RACE FOR COUNTY CLERK Arthur F. MHellings, popularly known throughout Nevada county as “Art” Hellings, has acceded to repeated suggestions and importuning of friends and groups in both eastern and western Nevada county and announced ‘this candidacy for the of-}! fice of county ‘clerk for the election to be held August 30.
