Keep the Forest Green 
The Washington National Forest is essentially a tim- 
ber reservoir. It holds a portion of the future supply 
which, because of remoteness, has been little logged as 
yet. At present its recreational r2source is perhaps of 
greatest interest to the average citizen, who is invited to 
come and enjoy that resource to the utmost. At the 
same time he is cautioned to be careful always with fire. 
There has been no devastating blaze for a long time. 
ach year sees the forest greener than it was before. No 
small part of this favorable condition is due to the 
cooperation of the public. Such cooperation is appre- 
ciated. Forest field officers will ¢ladly render tourists 
all assistance compatible with the performance of their 
duties, and they hope that visitors will in turn lighten 
the burden of those duties as much as possible during the 
fire season by thoughtfulness in the many little things 
which go to prevent the escape of fire. A good motto 
5 £ { j 
for the camper is: | 
“The words were God's first tembles.”’ Crosses 
lip the points of spired alpine Jirs. 
LEAVE A DEAD FIRE AND A CLEAN CAMP When you clean your fish don’t throw the 
refuse in the streams; some one may be 
camped below you, or you may sometime 
wish to camp below on this same stream. 
Hundreds of people get their drinking water 
from the streams on the National Forests. 
Bury all camp refuse and body excrement. 
Obey the well-recognized laws of ordinary 
sanitation. 
The Forest Service has spent considerable 
time and money putting up signs for the 
benefit of the public; please leave them un- 
mutilated and undisturbed.
