Map Chaise h Brush Burning Law Permits Are Free and Can Be Easily Secured In County -I - A major change has been made in j the State brush burning law, which I became effective October 1 and will i remain in effect until next June 1, r according to P. V. White, county for est ranger. a The law, which was rewritten by the 1963 State General Assembly, makes it unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to start or cause to be started any fire or ignite any 1 material in any of the woodlands un | der protection of the State Forest | Service, or within 500 feet of any ■ such protected area, during the hours starting at midnight and ending at 4 P. M., without first securing a permit. Permits are issued without charge and may be easily obtained, Ranger White pointed out. Permits may be obtained from district wardens and most county stores. <\ No permits are necessary for brush or debris burning if such burnings are started between 4 P. M., and end ing at midnight when winds are us ually not so high and brush fires are less likely to be spread by gusts of wind. During periods of hazardous forest fires, Ranger White pointed out, the State forester is authorized under the new brush burning law to cancel all permits and prohibit the starting of any fires in any of the woodlands un der protection of the State Depart ment of Conservation and Develop ment’s forestry division. Conviction for violating the brush burning law is punishable by a fine of up to SSO, or improsinment for not more than 30 days, the ranger said. The county ranger pointed out that the new brush burning law does not apply to any fires started or caused to be started within 100 feet of an occupied dwelling house. This mere ly means no permit is required when such fires are started or caused to be started within 100 feet of a dwelling house. Because of-the unusually dry Sum men and early Fall, forests in the county, the ranger said, are rather dry and much care should be exer cised by any person handling fire ini or near any wooded area. Campers, hunters, fishermen, mo torists, and hikers are urged to be sure to douse all campfires, crush out all lighted cigarettes and cigai-s, and not throw lighted live ashes anywhere they might ignite dry woods. BEES IN GOOD SHAPE County Agent C. W. Overman and Extension Beekeeper W. A.

It states that all drivers, upon hearing ' a siren, shall pull well to the right \ and stop and remain so until the , emergency has passed.

Wesley and Millard Lay den’s flock has averaged 44.9 per cent production during September. Bar bara Ann Jordan averaged 59.8 per cent production and Lloyd White, Jr., averaged 16.5 per cent production. These flocks are a result of the pul-» lets received in the 4-H Poultry Chain this year. Each of these young poultrymen are keeping careful records on their flock, making a monthly report to the County Agent. By keeping records they know exactly what their flock is doing from a profit standpoint. Re ports to the County Agent enable him to have a monthly check on each flock and to use -these reports as an indi- j cation of improper care and manage ment and other difficulties which might lower production. | | 14 pwt 71% firth NwMI SjpMi jj j Austin^ttcholsS r A f performance Compare value 1 pirn ■A Mm pMmp model* available, and 1-ton •!*•«, 6)i, 8, ami issjjv pfil [Tf I 1 td if I Vl4JaaJ laaailnfa rl auaiiAl t>AA» m 'ltwwi uii'Viivi wwiioifa panti ooay avallabb m d» Nght-daly wodah.

Compare the proved performance of Interna tionals, model for model, with any truck, any where. Compare the extra value in Internationals, fea ture by feature, with any competitive model. Inter national quality means low operating cost, low maintenance cost, long life. Compare price. Internationals compare favor ably in price with any other truck. Ask about new low prices on light, medium, and light-heavy duty models. Compare price before you buy. New Internationals are today's top track buy! C vmient terms. Your old truck may equal the r . inent. Let’s talk it over, today. Page Thirteen
