YOU CAN HELP AN ADVERTISING ICON

The first Smokey the Bear poster – WatsonsWander

Smokey Bear is a campaign and advertising icon of the U.S.
Forest Service
in the Wildfire Prevention Campaign, the 
longest-running public service announcement campaign
in United States history. The
Ad Council, the United States
Forest Service
(USFS), and the National Association of State
Foresters
(NASF), in partnership with creative agency FCB,
employ Smokey Bear to educate the public about the dangers
of unplanned human-caused
wildfires.     

A campaign began in 1944 featuring Smokey and the slogan
"Smokey Says – Care Will Prevent 9 out of 10 Forest Fires".

His slogan changed to "Remember, Only YOU Can Prevent
Forest Fires" in 1947 and was associated with Smokey Bear
for more than five decades, In April 2001, the message was
officially updated to "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires."

On August 25, 1939, The Wizard of Oz, which will become one of
the best-loved movies in history, opened in theaters around the

the young
Kansas farm girl Dorothy, who, after being knocked unconscious in a tornado, dreams about following a yellow brick
road, alongside her dog Toto, to the Emerald City to meet the
Wizard of Oz. Along the way, Dorothy encounters a cast of
characters, including the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly
Lion and the Wicked Witch of the West.

MUSIC FESTIVAL OPENED ON THIS DAY

See the source image

On August 15, 1969, the Woodstock music festival opened on a
patch of farmland in White Lake, a hamlet in the upstate New
York town of Bethel.

Promoters John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfield and
Michael Lang originally envisioned the festival as a way to raise
funds to build a recording studio and rock-and-roll retreat near
the town of Woodstock, New York. The longtime artists’ colony
was already a home base for Bob Dylan and other musicians.

Despite their relative inexperience, the young promoters managed
to sign a roster of top acts, including the Jefferson Airplane, the
Who, the Grateful Dead, Sly and the Family Stone, Janis Joplin,
Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival and many more.

See the source image

While Porky’s Hare Hunt was the first Warner Bros. cartoon to
feature a prototype of Bugs Bunny, A Wild Hare, directed by
Tex Avery character designed by Bob Givensand released on
July 27, 1940, is widely considered to be the first official Bugs
Bunny cartoon. It is the first film where both Elmer Fudd and
Bugs, both redesigned by
Bob Givens, are shown in their fully
developed forms as hunter and tormentor, respectively; the first
in which
Mel Blanc (below) uses what became Bugs’ standard
voice; and the first in which Bugs uses his catchphrase, "What’s
up, Doc?" A Wild Hare was a huge success in theaters and
received an
Academy Award nomination for Best Cartoon
Short Subject.
