Poole It has been my good fortune this" spring to have ridden all over this county with Mrs. Anna Lea Harris, our most efficient Home Demonstra tor, from the South Carolina line to Mangum and from the Pee Dee river to the peach orchards near Moore. The beauty, variety and potential wealth of our county fills my heart with pride but one sign turns me sick with- dismay. On. the road, at every turn there were forest fires burning, at one point on the Eb -Ingram hill there were seven furious blazes to be seen eating their way through the most valuable asset our country possesses our forests. This condition is not new, in fact the fires are less destructive now than in past years because of the terrible des truction then. Every year for at least forty (I will guarantee forty) there lias been a pillar of cloud bv day.anda pillar of fire by night leadr "ing us into , a treeless wil'dernes.- isn t it time for us to do something about this? "We have a game war den; why do not add to his duties those of a fire warden? I wish;"h& would rush" into print and tell us how and why he was appointed and just what he has' done.
