BoN MATCHES, TATLOR-M..DE F.GS IN ONT.RIO FORESTS TO BEAT FIRES Effective immediately, smokers are for- bidden to carry matches in Ontario forests covered by Ontario's Forest Fire Prevention act. Travel and burning permits will be required, according to T, E. Mackey, forest protection division chief, Woods operators will prohibit the sale or use of tailor-mnde cigerettes on all oper- ations, Mr, Mackey stated today. "Lighters will replace matches completely, The oper- ators will provide frcilities for convenien- tly refilling lighters." "Tajlor-made cigarettes contine to burn after they are discarded unless carefully butted," Mr. Mackey said, "Home-rolled cig- arettes almost alwnys go out, Of course, we went everyone to butt nll cigrnrettes before tossing them away but home-rolled cignrettes are a lot safer in the bush, More econom- ical, too." The provisions of the act will remain in force until October, All woods operators have been warned to check carefully and make safe all equipment or other possible fire- causing agencies and to coution employees to eliminate any hazardous practices that might contribute to early spring fires. To check on unwise or unlawful use of fire in their oreas and organize emergency fire-fighting forees at comps nnd operation hend-quarters, woods operators will nominate honorary fire wardens for appointment by the minister of lands and forests, 0=0=0 LADIES!
