TURKEYS HOGS July 20, 1968 Lancaster 394-0541 No Retirement Plonned For Smokoy Tho Boor If Smokey Bear, the national symbol of forest Are prevention, could speak, he would probably paraphrase Mark Twain by say* Ing rumors of his Impending re tirement are “greatly exaggerat ed.” It Just isn’t true. Secretary of Agriculture Or ville Freeman, one of Smokey’s bosses, said recently there are no current plans either to retire or replace “Smokey” at the Wash ington, D. C., National Zoo. This was corroborated by Dr. Theo dore Reed, director of the zoo where Smokey has made his home since he was a cub in 1950. The mistaken notion of Smokey’s retirement apparently grew out of an offer last week that an orphaned cub was avail able if the zoo wanted it. Some how, the idea came out in print that the cub would take the place of the full-grown black bear in the Washington Zoo. Malcolm Hardy, chief of Co operative Forest Fire Preven tion for the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, said Smokey is still healthy and strong and gives every indication of spending many years yet at the zoo with Mrs. Smokey. His long-range future, however, is under active study by the Smokey Bear Executive Com mittee, comprised of federal and state foresters and the National Advertising Council Smokey Bear has oeen the symbol of forest fire prevention for 23 years, and just a few months ago, a nationwide poll showed he was one of the most popular symbols on the Ameri can scene. The “live Smokey” was added to the promotion campaign June 30, 1950, when the cub was turned over to the zoo by Lyle Y L?——— New Holland 354-2146 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 27.
