Book Matches Used in California To Fight Forest Fires

Nerv York, June l7-Full support of California's efforts to reduce forest fire losses was promised today to Governor Earl Warren by Robert G. Fairburn, president of The Diamond Match Cornpany.

Mr. Fairburn told Governor Warren that in line with established policy to conserve tl.re nation's natural resotlrces the company had launched a campaign in California and eight other states, using book match covers to rvarn of carelessness with fire.

"Our cohpany," Mr. Fairburn told Governor Warren, "has begun free distribution to vacationists, fishermen, hunters and visitors of book matches bearing cautions against carelessness with fire in the woods. These book matches 'ivill be handed out by employees at the company's 67 lumber yards and other facilities in your state as well as by members of the U. S. Forest Service. We are hopeful that the caution printed on the matches will be helpful in reducing losses by 'rvarning the smoker and the camper at the very moment he makes a light.

"This same free distribution system is being used in other states r,r'ith more than 700,000 books of matches to be printed as a starter for the campaign."
