THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA HE'LL NEED FORESTS TOO! If you look to the bush country for recreation or business, you'll realise how much it will mean to theyoungsters of today if you help to save the forests for tomorrow. Above all, protect the forests, from fire. Ontario has been abundantly blessed with natural resources, which, if not properly protected, can be quickly exhausted. Every year, for example, thousands of acres of trees are destroyed because someone is not careful with fire. - Forests mean much more than a pleasant place to holiday : t an attraction for tourists ... shelter for game animals and flshing haunts. They mean more than a source of lumber and paper products, and jobs for thousands of people, vital as these are to national welfare: Climate -is tempered—extremes prevented -by forest areas. They store water too—help to keep rivers and streams from dan9erous and costly flooding in spring time. They spread the flow of water more evenly through the year. That means they help to ensure a year-round + supply of Hydro power for you. --^ Protect the forests. They serve you well, SOME WAYS TO BE CAREF.
