a, Dr., J., V. Hofmann, head
IMTisioD of Forestry at N.
|8tata College declared today,
aponsibitity for stopping the

hip and law enforcement
of North Carolina, which
eighth among the timber-
_^^ng states of th nation.
Dinting out that most fires are
Imidiary in origin, Dr. Hofmann
ulprits must be apprehended.
I*wever, this wnll accomplish no
Id unless the law-enforcing' agen-
Ts, have the will and the courage

^,ing with the crime. Incen-
rism which threatens ' and de-
oys hundreds of times those val-
; in timber too often goes free.”
estruction by forest fires is all
more serious now, explained
Hofmann, because the annual
liber cut in Nor;'"i Carolina at
present is more than the
!iWth. ‘‘This in itself is cause

program of forest production

When the American Furniture
Company talked of buying the
timber on the old Tilley piece 4
years ago, the president, Mr, A,
B. Johnston, seemed to apprehend
that, behind each lumber pack,
at least one lawsuit would rear
its ugly head. But -when the com- ,
pany really did buy it and Mr. ^
Edminston sawed it two years ^
ago, everything moved with a i
smoo-thness most extraordinary, j
I-ast week, however, after all the |
lumber moved hut three |
I packs, it seemed that Mr. John-1
Eton’s “tragic foreboding” was]
not groundless. As a last fillip
i Mr. Joe Love blocked the road
near the home of Mansfield
Parks, colored, and hauling lum
ber reached an impasse.
Last week Coy Love, who was
married sometime ago, took hia-
brother, Herman, or “Chuck” to
