Hello Woodsy
Another July 4th subject.
Smokey the Bear dates back to the early 50's when a burned bear cub was rescued after a forest fire.
The National Park Service has used his image ever since as a warning for park visitors to be careful and not start forest fires.
Back in 1976 for the Bicentennial the attached car card appeared in NYC Subway cars. I admired it and to my surprise my wife took it down from the wall and gave it to me/ Now it sits framed in my basement looking over my toy trains.
