People Should C»uard
Against Forest Fires
_- 1
Editor The Times:
The writer has for years had a
complex against forest fires and now
that the div fall weather is here, he.
like “Uncle Bill” Childs, "feels a verse
coming on.”
Transylvania C< unty. in area, is
ab mt T'> per cent woodland and m,
ac sect! : of the United States :s
there a greater opportunity for re- ’
production of merchantable timber;
all that is necessary is to keep tires
out ami nature will take care of the
balance of the plan.
Year after year we roe fires mal
iciously and carlessly set up and
down the ridges of this beaut it ul
French Bread valley, leaving behind
desolation and ruin; leaf mold de
stroyed. young t i m b e r blighted,
scorched and causing an almost in
calculable economic loss to the com
munity. particularly posterity.
For the last three years the com
pany that this writer has been con
nected with has been operating on the
Fast Fork of the French Broad river
and never in all his experience as a
timberman and surveyor, north,
south, east and west, has ho seen
such an example of what uncontrolled
forest fires can do; fine virgin pop
lar. oak and chestnut timber, scarred
and diseased, humus burned to the
gravel, and the young thrifty repro
duction stopped, and on many of the
ridges nothing but exposed rocks and
debris.
ui i residents aiong me »auc)
us that for the last 50 years during
dry times, the tell-tale smoke could
be seen off toward and on the Blue
Ridge, and little or nothing done
about it; in fact many seemed to be
lieve that these fires were like
bjils, a good thing to hive about once
a year, even if they did leave scars.
It is going to be very difficult to
convince some folk that if we are to
preserve for future generations a
continuous crop of forest products
from these wooded areas of our
county, that these fires will have to
be eliminated as favorite outdoor
sport but we can teach the young
cues, they who will benefit most, the
grave danger and instruct and ad
vise in every possible way in school
and home against carlesness with
matches, cigarettes and in camp fire
building in any of our forested sec
tions. Hunters and fishermen should
have common sense enough to guide
them in this important phase of con
servation in which they are inter
ested.

WILL ROGERS FUND
INAUGURATED HERE
Memorial to American Humor
ist Planned by People
of United States
The Transylvania Times and the
Transylvania Trust company will re
ceive subscriptions beginning Thurs-j
day, Nov. 7, and continuing through j
November _'7 for the national mentor-!
ial to Will Rogers, being planned by
a commission organized tor that

A nation-wide drive was begun
Monday—the 56th anniversary of
the birth of Will Rogers—to raise
funds for appropriate memorial to

philosopher who was killed recently
in an airplane accident in Alaska.

man, has been appointed by the gov
ern. r to serve as state executive for
.With Carolina Will Rogers Memor
ial Committee and lie has requested
C. M. Douglas, editor of The Tran
sylvania Times, tu act as chairman
of the memorial committee in Tran
sylvania county.
What form the memorial will
take has not been decided and will
depend upon the amount of money
contributed by those who were made
happy throughout the country by the
c.-arin and friendly humor of Will
Rogers. But the commission empha
sizes that it will not sponsor “a cold
shaft of marble” for such a vital,
human personality as Will Rogers
was. Rather it will be some form of
living memento worthy of the kind
he..Tted, sympathetic man whose
memory it will perpetuate.
The national committee In charge
is composed of Owen D. 7 oung. Gov
ernor E. W. Marland of Oklahoma.
Will H. Hays, Anion G. Carter, Jesse
H. Jones, James G. Blaine and Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker.
