prisonment for 80 days. The brush
law is in effect from 'February 1 to
June 1, and .from October 1 through
November 80.
| In pointing out the danger that fire
1 holds for the forests of the State,
Claridge cited the forest fire damage
in this county during 1952.
During 1962 Chowan County had a
total of four forest fires, with 688
acres burned over and damages esti
mated at $4,225.00.
“The county forest fire ranger and
ether members of the forestry division
of the State Department of Conserva
tion and Development working this
section are doing a good job in keep
ing down forest fires but they need
the help of all citizens if we are to
give our valuable wooded areas the
protection they need,” Clatidge said.
Safe hints for burning brush are;
(1) Burn brush late in afternoon —
4 P. M., and on—so that there is less
danger of the fire burning out of con
trol. It is dangerous to bum brush
between 11 A. M., and 4 P. M., as
winds are usually high and the dan

i ger greater.
> (2) Before burning 4 field, ditch
i bank or: piled brush be sure .that
Ijherp. is no way for the fire to work
i its way to a wooden area. A plowed
, line is one of the best safeguards
■ against woods fires.
(3> Have enough help available to
confine the fire to the area selected
to be burned.
(4) Burning permits may be secur
ed from any forest rangier, district
forester, or persons who have .been
designated to issue permits. There
is no charge for permits.
