When Forests Burr
Even one Loses
Is Warning
To aid in halting the vast ec
orvomic and recreational loaae
that follow in the wake of fores
fires that sweep over 40 millioi
acres each year, the United S*.al
e.s Forest Service has launched :
nation-wide forest fire preventioi
campaign centered around a mas
erful painting given to the For
est Service for the purpose b;
James Montgomery Flagg— ;
painting destined to take its plan
in American history along will
th-e immortal “I Want You.’
"Armless”, "Tel! it to the Mar
ines,” and “Don't Read Ameri
can History—Make It.”, wnicl
along with 42 others, Mr. Flagg
gave ot the government during
the World War.
Cartoon Depicts
The painting depicts a Forest
Ranger resembling Uncle Sarr
pointing a finger toward a burn
ing forest, over the title of "Yout
Forests—Your Fault—Your Loss”.
It was Mr. Flagg’s “I Want You”
called by the contemporary press
“the greatest war cartoon of ail
time”, that established in Ameri
can history the figure which the
world knows today as Uncle Sam.
More than four million copies
of this work were distributed by
the government and publications
with more than ten times that
number reproduced it, many in
full page size; a comparatively
large number in color. The orig
inal painting now hangs in the
Smithsonian Museum in Washing
ton, D. C.
“Tell it to the Marines”
. Following the acceptance of the
painting by President Roosevelt
at the White House on June 10th,
“Your Forest—Your Fault—Your
Loss” begins a nation-wide tour
to all centers of population thru
out the country. The first public
showing will be in the concourse
of New York City’s Grand Cen
tral Terminal. Less than two
bloeks away, twenty yean ago,
the City of New York roped off
Fifth Avenue while Mr. Flagg,
before a war-crazed people, paint
ed “Tell it to the Marines” on
the steps of the New York Pub
lic Library.
Besides enjoying the reputation
of being the most widely known
artist in America. Mr. Flagg has!
written a dozen best sellers and
| produced 2d feature motion pic
tures. Up to the period of the
World War his “Spirit of the Red
Cross” called for more negatives
than any other picture.
Ha] Phytfe, the widely known
New York portrait photographer,
close friend of Mr. Flagg, grat
' uitously posed for the painting.
F. A. Silox, Chief of the Forest
! Service, commenting upon the
forest fire prevention painting,
1 said:
1 “Mr. Flagg has gone straight to
the essential point in the problem
of fire control—the human ele
ment. His title tells the whole
1 > ury in rapid-fire style. Ameri
ca's forests are literally “Your
Fcre-t". Forests, no matter wheth
er they are under private, state
or federal ownership, influence
the oaily lives of millions of peo
p e directly dependent for a live1
lihood on forest products, and up
on additional millions who use I
j'.nt forests for hunting, fishing,
carr.p’ng and other forms of re
creation. Green forests adequately
protect watersheds: exert a pow-!
erful control on the source of I
floods.
‘‘The second part of Mr. F.agg's
title—‘Your Fault”—means just
this: 90 percent of all the forest
i
fires in the nation are mancaused.
I Because they are caused by man.
|they are preventable.”
‘‘Due to the close interrelation
ship between the forests and our
everyday life, the phrase ‘Your
Loss’ becomes equally true. It
may reasonably be said that when
a forest burns, everybody loses.
Mr. Flagg has made a valuable
contribution in the fight against
forest fires which burn annually
over an area almost as large as
the entire State of Washington.”
