HELP PROTECT OUR FORESTS More than 200 separate forest fires are burning in Ontario and Quebec, many out of control, as a terrible toll is being taken of forest resources, In Ontario alone, there are more than 129 fires according to recent reports, and there have been go many now outbreaks in recent days that travel restrictions havo been imposed in a number of areas, It is frankly stated by officials that all too many of the fires in the tinder dry bush have been caused by downright carelessness on the part of campers and tourists, carelessness which is causing untold damage to vital re- sources as well as personal property, So once again in Terrace Bay News we would like to stress the fact that too much care cannot be taken by persons walking or driving through wooded areas, including cane pers and parties on picnics, Fires start so easily from a carelessly thrown match or cigarette butt and all too often a campfire which was considered to be out, breaks into flame long after it has been left. So when in the bush = be careful = help protect oum forest resources -- we depend on them for our livelihood.
