Through the alertness and quick action of forest officers of the Tahoe National Forest, Robert Hill of Truc{kee was apprehended for smoking in a closed area, and proven to have caused the fire by. his carelessness with cigarettes and matches. Hill was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Smith at Truckee where a plea of guilty was entered. and was subsequently fined $25. _ Supervisor Ellis states that here js result of earelessness with cigarettes and matches that all conservation agencies have been trying to prevent. This means that this man failed to heed newspaper and other publicity-to be careful with fire. The sure way to cooperate and avoid fires is to leave smoking materials in camp when going into areas closed to smoking and then there won’t be any temptation to smoke. The slogan “‘Careless ‘Matches aid the Axis’’ should be remembered -by everyone.’’ says Ellis, as we must all get together and preach and practice fire prevention at home and abroad—It pays.
