"Last year," writes a Southern
landholder whose property i? thick
with timber, "camper8 twice set our
. place afire, llird.s, flowers, and animals
were decimated unbelievably."
What, a tribute to the American
camper! If it were an isolated instance,
11 would !* bad enough, and
to sparu. Hut it jjs pot. Fast year
suw hundreds of forest fjres in the
South, started by campers; destroy
ing thousands of acres of valuable
tsmlier, charring tens of thousands
of mating arid brooding birds, wiping
out hordes of. small furred inhabitants
of the woods, marring for decades
great stret<;bes of timl>er unsurpassed
anywhere ?for sheer loveliness.
Why? I lee au.se people are care-J
less. Simply that.
Jfc ause the. average vacationist,
through some mysterious inner
change from the considerate citizen
he is at home, utterly disregards the
property rights of those people who
live in the country through which he
pusses. Because he takes not only
an economic and physical but also a
rnfjr tal vacation.
Me simple-mindedly throw- his < ig
ire'.ti md cigars into the dry grass
of n.ad ide dit< lies and starts the
vor 1 nd ..f fires He lights his
camp fon the top- of hills, and |
then leaves. them binning there,
win ,, viiiil- can, and too often do, j
.spit ad ' h> flame,- in every difeet ion. i
He:rtP\t?n his "v.nation", and there
1 o i e 11'' a b i t to exert any effort either >
'ban t\>i brief walking and eating. I
I e iefu-es 11,11 e the ground otl ]
which he builds bis fire.-.; and so
ig: ites thick carpets of leaves and !
pine needles, leaving them to .smolder,
to flame and to start more forest
fires.
It was estimated in H)2b that more
than thirty million acres of* Southern
timber land had been laid waste by
fires up to that time. The natural
cause of such fires are few, and their
toll comparatively inconsiderate. The
chief?almost the sole? offended is
the camper.
The approaching season will no
doubt bring its annual trek of Southern
and other tourists to these mountains
and forests, for there could be
no pleasanter places in which to while
away the hot days. It is most ear- !
nestly to be hoped that these visitors
will bring with them enough common
sense not to destroy that which
they find and enjoy here. Kditoria!
