There was an average of 210,000 forest fires annually prior to the inauguration of the Smokey Bear campaign. Since then the number has been reduced to an average of 185,000, even though thousands of additional people visit forest and woodland areas every year for picnics, camp ing, hunting, and fishing expedi tions. If it were not for the extensive fire prevention program, of which the Smokey Bear symbol is the central figure, Davis estimates the number of fires would be running at the rate of between 300,000 and 350,000 annually because of increas ed use of forest areas, because fires caused by people run in direct proportion to the forest use by the. public, we are grateful for as widespread support as possible to bring home the need for keeping down the huge annual loss of our natural resources caused by fires be said.
