WOMAN WRITES
WINNING ESSAY
The Chairman of Conservation of
the General Federation of Women’s
Clubs which assembled at Kansas
City early in May offered a prize to
the club that submitted the best essay on “The Blimination of ManCaused Forest Fires.”
The Womens Civic Club of this
city have won this prize through the
efforts of Mrs. DeWitt Nelson and
once again Nevada City has brought
honor to the state of California by an
organization having for its motive
the best interests of the community
they delight to honor and improve.
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

easier hunting, or for malicious ne:
chief. 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.
