A new record in top cooperation has been set by the Circles of the Redr'vood Region Conservation Council in their "Keep Green" efforts during this particularly bad fire season on the rvest coast, Ben S. Allen, RRCC secretary, said. The nine Circles (Arcata, Cloverdale, Eureka, Fort Bragg, Fortuna-Scotia, Humboldt Bay, Santa Rosa, Ukiah and Willits) in turn have praised the cooperation which they have been given by local press, radio and civic organizations.

Evidence of this cooperative endeavor can be seen throughout the Redwood region. Materials, furnished by the RRCC, are displayed in rvell-chosen spots, urging the use of caution and care in the forests. Posters are in stores, libraries and other heavily-traveled urban locations, and are frequently displayed along the highways. Leaflets have been included in regular mailings by local businesses. Tags, flags and other RRCC materials are used on the vehicles of lumber companies. Boy Scouts, 4-H clubs, and many local groups have helped.
