Another enemy to conquer: forest fires, nine out of ten can be prevented (sticker)
Small square paper sticker with a red circle in which a squirrel and three young sit by a tree hollow, under 'Another enemy to conquer: Forest Fires, nine out of ten can be prevented'. Wartime 'enemy' language is applied to forest fires, with frightened animals as the fear-appeal; the technique is faint at this size.
