Cartoon Filmstrip Stresses Forest Fire Prevention

Washington, D.C.-Keep your eye on a cartoon film character named "Woody." As the featured player in American Forest Products Industries' newest filmstrip, ,,Keep America Green," he appears headed for certain starclom in the field of forest fire prevention.

Through 48 frames of a four-color, 35 mm. filmstrip, Woody does a convincing, if sometimes puckish, job of telling the American people why and how forest fires shoulcl be prevented.

Woody introduces his subject by pointing out that a forest fire starts somewhere in the United States every three minutes. "In an average year," he continues, "these fires burn an area as large as Indiana. They destroy enough sawtimber to build 86,000 houses and enough potential paper to print all United States newspapers."

Copies of a 48-page, shirt-pocket-size booklet keyed for use with the filmstrip are now being distributed on a national basis to state foresters, Keep Green chairmen, private foresters, wood-using industry leaders and other interested persons. These booklets, all done in two colors, cartoon style, are available free of charge. Requests for copies of the booklet or filmstrip should be addressed to American Forest products Industries, Inc., l3l9 Eighteenth Street, N. W., Washington 6, D. C.
