Does anyone remember the ancient and honorable order of the squirrels.
This was a squirrel club develop by the U.S.Forest service in the 1930's and given to childern who visited fire towers.
The club card certifies that the visiter climbed the fire tower on a given date in the national forest.
On back of the card it reads:
The hardest nut the U.S.Forest and the state conservation departments have to crack is the problem of man-caused forest fires.
