National forest fuelwood urged to prevent winter coal shortage
Washington officials urge wide use of dead and down timber from 163 national forests to avert a coal shortage. Foresters say free or low cost cordwood can be obtained by residents, clearing forests and reducing fire risk. Dead timber and damaged wood will be used, with live trees cut only as needed. A backyard wood pile is advised as a thrifty precaution. Over 30,000 permits were issued last year for free forest timber totaling about 250 000 cords. Ed Blackie Burns, a Dillon cook and waiter, died from brain concussion after a fall at about age 45. Burial was at county expense.
