East Texas Forest
Fires Help Axis
A lot of East Texans are help
ing the Axis whether they know it
or not, was the opinion expressed
by W. E. White, vice director of
the A. & M. forest service in
charge of forest fire protection
today after he had analyzed the
fire report for the pineywoods
region covering the first six
months of the year. More than 2,-
200 forest fires have burned 117,-
000 acres of privately-owned tim-
berland in East Texas, the re
port showed.
Fires have occurred in merchan
table or potential timber stands,
and instances were reported of
damage to standing timber which
the government has declared of
No. 1 vital importance and which
forest industries are making an
all-out effort to produce for need
ed Army construction right here
in the state.
Incendiarism, smokers and field
burning accounted for 90 percent
of the blazes during the six-months
period. Other causes were all in
minor amounts.
White said that it was hard to
see how patriotic East Texans
who were buying bonds, collecting
scrap materials and doing war
work could stand idly by and per
mit their forest resources which
the government is- needing in astro
nomical amounts to be damaged
by carelessness or intent.
Secretary of Agriculture Wick-
ard in a nation-wide radio broad
casts said, “Every fire in our
fields or forests this year is afl
enemy fire. It makes no difference
if a great forest blaze is stared
by enemy action or by the care
lessness of an otherwise loyal
American”.
President Roosevelt has direct
ed several government agencies
and the Office of Civilian Defense
to supplement protective measures
of the armed branches in the anti
sabotage program on forests. A
bill is now before Congress to
amend the Anti-Sabotage act of
1918 to include “forest* products
and suitable standing timber” as
“war materials”.
