POLK COUNTY HAS
93,000 ACRE FOREST
...._Continued from Pape One_
owners in this section have made
it possible for the Forest Service
to make these road improvements
without the burden of cost being
on the State and County.
Tryon Peak tower is manned dur
ing the fall and spring fire sea
sons. This usually runs about 5
to 6 months during the year and
the towerman lives in the cabin
provided at the tower site. Nearly
all of his daylight time is spent
in the tower watching for smokes
that might occur. In this detection
work the tower is connected by
telephone to the local telephone
exchange and by two-way radio to
the county ranger’s truck and
other lookout towers that see parts
of Polk County not clear to this
location. A gasoline generator pro
vides power for the operation of
the two-wav radio and for lights
in the cabin and tower.
During the past 5 years the for
est fire record in Polk County
has been excellent. This record
has been improving in direct pro
portion to the addition of improve
ments and with increase appro
priations of financial appropria
tions by the county officials. The
combined money available for ex
penditure in the county has never
been adequate for complete forest
lire protection. However, the work
has progressed and the record in
Polk County is comparable to that
of adjoining counties. Every dol
lar spent for this work must count.
County Ranger Feagan and his
organization appreciates the co
operation of every citizen in the
county in preventing fires and prac
ticing good judgment in using fire
while burning trash or other mater"
ial. 98 per cent of the fires JP
North Carolina are man cau^B?.
The people in Polk County
reducing this shameful waste in
their forests and everybody will
profit.
