50 Years ...and still going!, the 1994 California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Smokey the Bear forest public service poster ("Remember - Only you can prevent forest fires! 1944 - 1994") celebrating the 50th anniversary of Smokey the Bear and featuring artwork of Smokey putting up a fire prevention sign in the forest with all of his forest pals by Rudolph Wendelin. Here is some background on Smokey the Bear: In 1944 the U.S. Forest Service issued a poster featuring "Smokey Bear", and he wore jeans and a campaign hat (what we now call a ranger hat). His slogan was "Smokey says - Care will prevent 9 out of 10 forest fires!". Over the next decade, Smokey would change in appearance as the artist who drew him changed, and he would get the slogan "Remember! Only you can prevent forest fires", and eventually, he became "Smokey the Bear"!
