"'fiia cost to western counties , the state was caused by per ;p who were careless or used bad : jment in burning brush, sedge 5 1 various forms of litter and J" ris, points Out Warden Hannah. Ir Jiese 185 brush burning fires f ititute 16 per eent of all the which burned m western ?th Carolina during the past r, and is considered one of the ior causes of forest fires in jflt western counties. tost of the brush burning fires ftx certainly the most damaging it' serious ones, occur during f;t i known as the Spring Fire tt-: season, which ordinarily begins in the mountain counties in Febru ary and runs up to and often through the early weeks of June. This is due to the fact that spring cleaning, clearing, and oth er farming operations get in full swing during February, March, April and May and usually reach the peak in March and April. It is easily seen that such fires which are costing so much in dol lars .annually, that are caused by carelessness are preventable. Warden Hannah is urgiflg the people of the county to co-oper ate with him in bringing down the total of losses from such fires. II also points out the fact that a burning permit must be obtained before setting fire to debris of any kind, and that the state fores! laws are going to be enforced Those failing to comply with them will be prosecuted, he states. Burning permits can be secured from Warden Hannah, and the following district forest wardens: T. S. Howell, W. B. Poston, Lowe Allen, Claude Jones, Mack Thomp son, T. C. Davis, J.

It was under this flag that the City of Flint was sailed to Russia after capture by a German sea raider in the North Atlantic. Later the Nazis tried to take the ship to Germany. It was seized by Norway and given back to the American crew. After a 113-dajr odyssey the Flint returned to Baltimore, where sailors are pictured. Fitzcerald, A. E. Caldwell. J.

C Plott, Lee Smith, and Vard Green, After securing a burning permit persons are asked to discuss in de tail with the local warden the burning which is .planned. The state law is as follows Brush burning permit law. Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to start or cause to be started any fire or ignite any material in any of the areas of woodland under the pro tection of the State Forest Ser vice or within five hundred feet of any such protected area, between the first day of October and the 30th day of November, inclusive, in any year, without first obtaining from the State Forester or one of his duly authorized agents a per mit to set out fire or ignite any material in such above mentioned protected areas; that no charge shall be made for the granting of said permits. Section 2. This Act shall not ap ply to any fires started or caused to be started within five hundred feet of a dwelling house. Section 3. Any person, firm or corporation violating this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined not more than fifty ($50) dollars, or imprisoned for a period of not more than 30 days. Section 4. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with provisions of this act are hereby repealed. Precautions which Warden Han nah points out after a burning per mit has been .secured, are as fol lows: notify adjoining landowners that you intend to do such burning maintain careful and competent watch over fire and never leave it until it is completely out: never burn near the woods or where fire can reach the woods when condi tions are dangerously dry, Start fire following a rain and late in the afternoon or night when the air is damp and the fire is more easily controlled; never at tempt to burn anything in the mornings at which time you cannot tell what the weather conditions are going to be by mid-day or in the afternoon.

Tar Heels Downed 301,700 Barrels Of Beer During 1939 North Carolina consumed 301, 700 barrels of beer and ale dur ing 1939 as compared with 264,025 barrels in 1939. There are 31 gal lons to a barrel, a total of 9,352,i 700 gallons. Despite the 12 per cent increase in consumption, North Carolina still lags in consumption as compared with other states, according to the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors committee. The per capita consumption in this stat is riot quite three gallons, while the nation's per capita consumtion is twelve and a half gallons more than four times the per capita consumption in North Carolina. Although North Carolina is way down the list on the basis of per capita consumption, the beer in dustry pays the state and its va rious political subdivisions almost $1,500,000 annually in taxes and license fees. If this state consumed as much as the average for the nation, more than $6,000,000 would be paid into the state treasury annually. The past year also witnessed the rapid expansion of the beer indus try's program of active co-operation with local law enforcement officers to eliminate anti-social con ditions wherever they may sur round the sale of beer. Edgar H, Bain of Goldsboro, state director in charge of the beer industry's "clean up or close up" campaign in North Carolina, announce-1 that the beer licenses of 46 dealers have been revoked as a result of the committee's drive against unde sirable beer outlets. CITY BUILDS SKI JUMPS NOT WISELY BUT WELL ROCHESTER, N. Y. When Ro chester decided that it needed a ski jump, it took no half way meas ures. Experts were consulted and the new jump built in Podder Mill Park would do justice to an Alpine resort. Now the city has found that it built not wisely but too weil. Al though there has been an abun dance of snow, scarcely a half dozen skiers have tried the jump. Afier climbing to the platform, the average skier takes one glance down the steep incline and walks down. County Park Director Robert W, Cochrane said a leap of 125 feet is easily possible.
