and patroling are being completed.
The season which is recognized to
contain the most forest fire danger
begins the first of July and extends
through September With the awak-
ened interest of the public in fire pre-
vention and the increased number OF
rangers and fire-fightng facilities,
this season should see great reduc-
tion in the loss from forest fires.

as numerous as usual.
