NO SMOKING ALLOWED ON 

 SLOWDOWN AREA 



Smoking, during periods of fire danger, 

 on National Forest lands within the cyclone- 

 swept area of the Olympic Peninsula, Wash- 

 ington, was prohibited on and after July 

 1, by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. 

 Exception to the smoking rule is made on 

 improved camping grounds designated by the 

 Supervisor of the Olympic National Forest, 

 and improved places of human habitation. 



The area covered by the "no smoking" 

 order amounts to some 540,000 acres, and 

 includes all of the Olympic National Forest 

 west of a line extending from the east end 

 of Lake Crescent, southward a distance of 

 approximately 45 miles to the east end of 

 Lake Quinault. The period of fire danger 

 during which no smoking will be permitted 

 is to be determined and publicly announced 

 by the District Forester at Portland, Oregon. 



The fire trap created by the cyclone of 

 January 29, which swept the forests of the 

 Olympic Peninsula in a wind estimated to 

 have reached 150 miles an hour, is the worst 

 known in the history of the country. Over 

 64^ billion feet of timber, on a strip 90 miles 

 long and from 20 to 30 miles wide, was blown 

 down by the storm and now lies in a tangled 

 mass. The greatest damage was done on 

 State and private lands ; only about one bil- 

 lion feet of National Forest timber being 

 windthrown. Should fire ever gain head- 

 way in this devastated area foresters say that 

 the most stupendous conflagration in the 

 annals of the Nation would result.
