Show Watch a good woodsman light his pipe. He shakes the match out, feels it with his finger, and nine times out of ten, will break it in two and then look for a safe place to throw it. A match can not be broken with ease and safety unless it is thorough- I ly out. And a match that is thoroughly out can not start a fire. ! The carelessly flipped match is re- i sponsible for a considerable percent- I age of the disastrous fires both m I city and forest. When you have I finished lighting your pipe, your cigar . or cigarette break the match in two pieces, cautions the Forest Service of j the United States Department of Agriculture. |
