The Division of Forestry and
Parks of the North Carolina De
partment of Conservation and De
velopment is now in the process of
furnishing each sixth grade, stu
dent of white and Negro schools
throughout ^ the entire State with
specially printed heavy manila book
covers. • '
This project jointly approved by
officials of the State Education
Department and Department of
Conservation and Development ha^
been planned to provide the prac
tical item for protecting valuable
text books and at the same time
introduce to the minds of this
younger generation the vastly im
portant theme of Forest Fire Pre
vention and related practices.
The front of the book covers
is cleverly designed with a bear
like caricature, named Smokey,
busily engaged in suppressing a
forest fire and offering a reminder
^hat “Little Trees Grow to Big
Ones Through Fire Protection and
Proper Harvesting.” A space is
also provided for the name of the
student and title of book. The back
of the cover is devoted to a table
of four simple safety rules for pre
venting forest fires under a head
ing “Out Door Manners.”
Distribution of book covers in
Polk County is under the direct
supervision of County F o w )
Warden 0. C. Feagan, who
visit the schools and request the as
sistance of the teachers in placing
the covers on the text books.
