M. McKeithan VASS,N.C. Wednesday, September 7th In extinguishing fires in Moore county during the last six months. Forest Warden Davis 'and his Ideal Theatre Vass, N. C. and its owner, A. L. Keith, have our heartiest congratulations and best wishes for success. For your before or after-the show refreshments, ‘ VASS DRUG STORE C. P. McMILLAN men traveled 13,716 miles and worked a total of 7.81 hours. Re sponsible persons causing forest fires were found by Warden Davis on 71 per cent of the fires that burned in the county during the past six months. District Forester J. A. Pippin, in commenting on this record, called it exceptionally good. The spring fire season in Moore county is normally the worst fire season during the year. During the spring of 1949, heavy winds and dry conditions existed during most of the fire season. This made the danger from forest fires very high at all times. District Fores ter Pippin complimented Forest Warden Davis and his men on ex ecuting their duties to the high est degree. Forest Warden Davis said, would like to thank all the citi zens of Moore county for the help they have given me in keeping fire out of our forests, and I am asking the fine people to continue to give us their cooperation in this most important work of protect ing our woodlands.” A.
