Says Forest Fires
On Retreat In Area
Fires in the mountain wood
lands will perhaps never sweep
down timber and game in west
ern North Carolina and Tennes
see as happened twelve years ago
from Murphy to Roanoke, it was
predicted here last week by W.
L. Shaddix, Secretary and Trea
surer of the Southern States
Forest Fire Commission, Inc., who
spent several days in this section
in interest of fall and winter for
est education programs in schools
of several counties.
"There are thousands of teen
age boys here and elsewhere feho
will grab a brush and run when
they see a smoke, and stop it be
fore it gains headway, and with
such volunteer good sports help
the existing wardens will not
have more fires than they can
get to in time," the visiting forest
educator stated while in Boone.
The Commission is an educa
tional privately financed non
profit corporation formed in 1939
to aid in setting up forest and
game protection education pro
grams in schools and colleges. It
is financed by about 1,000 bank
ing, furniture, lumber, and tim
ber growing interests of twenty
states. Mr. Shaddix is a former
High ' School Principal of Ala
bama.
The group have been given the
tree use of conservation and
other visual aids, and also multi
color bird and game charts for
teachers, estimated to great value.
Material is furnished by various
foundations, commercial, and oth
er" agencies in various sections of
the nation.

Obituary
MM. LOUISE SUTHERLAND
HOWARD
Mrs. Louise Sutherland How
ard, of Mountain City, Tennes
see, daughter of Mrs. Minnie
Shull Sutherland and the late
James *Baxter, of Creston, was
born on April S, 1914, and died
June 28, 1934, at the age of 40
years, two months and twenty
three days.
Mrs. Howard is survived by her
husband, Roby J. Howard, Sr.,
her mother, and the following
brothers and sisters:
Fred Sutherland, Mrs. Mae
Brown Webster, of Creston, and
Mrs. Lillian James, of Warrens
ville, North Carolina.
Mrs. Howard was a member of
the Sutherland Methodist Church
since early childhood and was
one of the most faithful, devoted
and consecrated Christians to live
among our people. In action and.
devotion to her Christian faith,'
she was truly an example of her
Christ's pattern of life.
"Miss Louise," as we all affec
tionally called her, was married
to Roby J. Howard, Sr., on June
19, 1953, and dedicated her life
With this union to making a love
ly home and a devoted wife with
her sweet and gentle disposition.
Mrs. Howard was a public
school teacher in Ashe and Wa
tauga counties for almost twenty
years, and her profession has sus
tained a real loss because she al
ways carried into her classroom,
not only knowledge, but the high
est type of noble character for
her pupils.
We, who knew Mrs. Howard,
shall not forget her noble example
of the good life she lived. We
have a deep sense of sorrow in
Our hearts, but our grief over her
passing is assuaged by the grate
ful remembrance of her enduring
contribution to the cause of a
better life.

B. H. DUNCAN.
