Observe National Fire Prevention In The Forest Areas 1 Fire Damage In Koroln Run* Inlci Man> Million* Of Dollur* National Fin- Prevention Week this year has been proclaimed by the President for this week In these hazardous tune- when America's rp sources art heing mobilized for na-^ tional defense, it is especially im portant to cl ec re a se lores t f 1 re losses Last year in the South there were over 150.000 forest fires, three fourths of the nation's total. They burned over 27 million acres of (woodland'with an estimated dam age of Ku million dollars. Nearly all .'these fires \v? re man-ran??'d ynd I therefore preventable; brush burn . i s. incendiaries. and careless camp ers and smokers were the worse of fenders Adequate lire prevention and sup ' pressron hinge upon two factors. One lis the money and manpower needed to protect our forests Funds for for est fire protection are obtained largely through -cooperation between the Federal and State governments under provisions of the Clarke-Mc Narv law Tabulations show that in the Southern States these funds in creased from $1,496,746 in the fiscal year of 1937 to $2,075,195 in 1940. an increase in four years of over 38 per ct nt Of this total. 30 per cent came frore Federal allotments 38 per cent 11oh. State appropriations. 17 per cent from cooperating private land owner:-. and 15 percent from county and other sources. Each year sees advances in facili ties lor finest fire detection and suppression Lookout towers, tele phones. and specially developed shortwave radio sets help locate fires quickly, and fast trucks on bet ter roads get crews to tlid job earlier. In fighting fires the first hour V the critical one; nearly all fires can he easily controlled if reached before Ihey ha vi had time to dove top and spread. Iti me lecnrii-quc 01 inv li^nun^ there. have been -recurit notable ad vances. One new wrinkle, already put to good effeci in somi parts of tin country, is dropping fire fighters and ''supplies by parachute from air planes. thus saving valuable time and energy Another is the Bosworth fire trencher, a portable machine op erated by one man and powered by a liget gasoline motor, which can dig a fire line trench through surface ?litter and soil at the rate of a mile I an hour, faster than 40 men could do it. Lua i n vv ;m also bring ,hcttpr .'MganiZLd and trained, until now they compare in efficiency to crack city fire departments Crews work m coordination like a good football team. The other essential factor for for est file protection is cooperation and support by farmers, sportsmen's and c-t her. organizations, and all other public spirited citizens. There are still in the South over 100 million acres of forest land w hich need fire protection but are unprotected, two thirds of the ?entire Unprotected area in the country It is on these un protected' lands that nearly all the a initial fire losses occur Vowvr (am fHtny i<hls Two Enpinvvrs To Its Staff The Virginia Electric and Power [Company, is adding 1 wo engineers t.n its local staff.

NOTICE OF RE-SALE North Carolina, Martin County. In The Superior Court. Draft Reg istration And Unemployed As draft-rt gist ration time ncars, a natural question is: What will it mean in reducing unemployment? In miTflfr'ts. of course, it will mean a reduction of pretty close to a mil lion in the jobless ranks?either through selection of persons now unemployed, or by "making room" for such individuals when job-hold J crs arc taken. However, this partic i ular phase of the defense program's effect on employment will be minor -compared to the general, total ex pansion of employment that is be I ing induced by the program as a whole A clue to the magnitude of I re-enVployment contemplated is seen | in the report that five and a half million now -idle workers are "avail ; able"??defenm?industry?work. These ait persons actually register - j ed with offices affiliated with the I United States Employment Service, | and a classified "inventory" of their skills has been compiled, with geo graphical groupings. The top-off for job-seekers seems to he: Leave no stone unturned in making sure that you are registered with the proper authority s and with full listing of your talents, even if they are mere ly clerical.
