While the present drouth continues,
there is an ever-threatening danger of
forest fires, and only within the past
few DAYS there have been several minor
outbreaks in towns surrounding Barre
In Orange, lumbermen have been called
out a number of times to subdue smoul-
dering blazes that might at any moment
have burst into a forest fire of large
proportions. Thus far, however, the
fires have been quickly quenched and a
serious fire has yet to get under way.
Farmers are taking every precaution to
avoid fires, and picnic parties and others
are asked to use the same care while
in the woods.
