DarkSide...

Many at Montreal were just ofi the lines of fires that had blazed up from record fall droughts continent-wide. Smoke clouds huge enough to swallow atomic bomb blasts had darkened Manhattan and other metropolitan areas.

A single cigarette had unloosed fire in a National Forest, killing ancient Douglas firs on thousands of acres of America's finest stand of virgin timber. Added to this account of sacrifice to the great god, tobacco, was that of Kentucky and Virginia soil that has been cropped to death in the growing of the weed and on which tree crops ofier the only hope of restoration.

There were more dark and thorny vistas of the continental forest scene exposed by the forestry men at Montreal. But they also had light to show. It revealed that trees will grow, men will learn, and that earth is ever forgiving and ready to return good for evil.
