"I usually am," was the quiet
response.
"H !i#i I do wish you lived

sank into a chair. ‘‘Then I could

half-moment; then demanded:
"Just how long is it, Lucretia,
since you were widdered?”
"Oh, something over a year
now."
\‘‘My, An’ you livin' alone in this

you sold it an' took rooms down

f hadn’t stayed any longer.
For some little time she sat
i thinking deeply, the while Mittens
1 purred like a tea-kettle. "HmT
There's something in what Min
: erva says;—yes. there's some
i truth in it Guess I’ll have to do
1 something about it."
It was several days before Min
erva again was in the neighbor
hood of "Four Pines" and her
brows 'Shot 11 ;> when she saw a
. large sign on the lawn, which bore
the following legend in letters
I easily read at a distance:
“THIS HOUSE FOR SALE.

lost no time in gaining the porch
on which, as usual, her friend was
seated.
“Well, well! I see as you took
my advice, Lucretiai Any inquir

"Several of ’em. Mostly strang
ers from other towns. They seem
to like this place."
“No doubt. But you’ll be a lot

I can’t stop a minute, but I'll be

She did,-“-but very briefly. Smil

it to a friend later on; Lucretia
was standing before the gate She
was evidently going somewhere*
And the sign was no longer to 1

“You sold the place, Lucretia?'
was the eager inquiry.

more, I never did intend to sell it.
Why. I wouldn't leave ‘Four Pines’
for anything in the world!"
“Land o’ Liberty! You mean—"
“Just so. Jim Kimball, retired

horseback, hike, -drive in an
automobile, take pictures, cool
off, warm up, or just sit in the
shade, listen to the birds sing
and gaze at the soothing scen
ery. If yo u look, you’ll find it in
some national forest. Many
American families are finding
a national forest vacation dif
ferent and refreshing.
Recreational development and
use on the national forests has
come a long way since the birth
of the U. S. Forest Service 50
years ago. In 1907 Charles A.
Scott, young supervisor of the
Forest Service tree nursery at
Halsy, Neb. wrote the Washing
ton Office requesting “an ap
propriation of $25 to buy some
lumber with which to build a
dance floor at the nursery.”
“The reply to my request,”
Mr. Scott relates, “was a letter
from my Chief, written in long
hand —the only long hand let
ter I. ever received from the
Washington Office. It told me
in no uncertain terms that the
forester’s mission was not that
of entertainment and your re- (
quest for $25 for the . purpose ■
specified is denied.”
The U. S. Forest Service nev
er did go into the dance hall
business, but in order to protect
the forest .from fire and the
'health of its recreation users,
•it has through the years devel
oped camp and picnic-ground
facilities bn the national for
ests as the public demand for
outdoor recreation sky-rocketed.
Last year 40 million visitors us
ed the national forests for fish
ing, hunting, camping, skiing
and numerous other forms of
outdoor recreation, compared
to 1.5 million recreation visits
in 1912, the first year Forest
Service reports even mentioned

recreation use.
The modem.- car, a higher
standard of living, and the de
today’s living have helped to
more than double the number
of visitors to the national for
ests in the last 10 years alone.
In addition to the 4,400 camp
and picnic areas, most of which
the Forest Setvfce maintains
itself, some 430 organization
camps for scouts and other
grodps, 480 resorts, 200 ski
areas equipped with 45 chair
lifts and 250 rope tows and
1,600 summer homes have been
constructed op national forest
land with private capital under
permit from the Forest Service.
Picking up beer cans, clean
ing ketchup strewn picnic tab
les, keeping sanitary facilities
clean, repairing broken tables,
and disposing of garbage are a
few of the many costly tasks
which the T T . S.i Forest Service
must perform on the recreation
al areas. The pressure of hum
anity on national forest recrea
tion is tremendous. It shows it
self in badly over-crowded ar
eas, worn out facilities, and
mounting maintenance and
! cleanup costs. To meet this
challenge, the forest rangers
are doing their best with the
limited means at their disposal
but are engaged in a losing
battle.
Consideration for the other
man’s family and a sincere
appreciation of proper wood
land manners would lighten the
Forest Ranger’s task. All the
ranger asks of a forest visitor
is his cooperation in keeping
the area clean, protecting the
facilities and being very care
ful with fire. By so doing, the
citizen will make his recreation
tax-dollar go farther and find
more presentable places t o
l j bring his family.
