Issues Proclamation Calling
Upon People to Uphold

People of Pennsylvania, especiall"
those who live in wooded areas and
who visit the forests to hunt and
FISH. are urged by Governor Martin G.
Brumbaugh IN a proclamation issued

forest fires. To-day is Fire Proven
tion Day throughout the state and in
accordance with action of the State
Fire Marshal people are asked 10
clean up promises and get rid of in
hammable waste materials. In the
Governors proclamation he asks that
the State Forestry Department be
aided in its conservation work.
The proclamation is as follows:
Whereas. This is the season of for
est fires, when i~rreparable loss may
result from carelessness or negligence
with reference 10 fires. The Common
wealth has IN its W right more
than one million acres of forest lands
and the acreage is constantly growing
in size and in value. The Common
wealth also has an interest direct and
vital in safeguarding the forest lands
under private ownership. The safety
to human life, our supply of portable
water, protection from floods. cur
efforts to restore and increase the
wild life Of the state, the provision
for healthy recreation m the in
crease of tho fishes in our streams
are all involved in the matter of pre-
venting forest fires. Surely Pennsyl-
vania does not want a repetition Of
the disasters recently occurring in
sister states Of the northwest. where
many ives and much property were
sacrificed to the |red-tongued demon.
Therefore, I. Martin C. Brumbaugh.

"A COTTON BELT CANDIDATE"
Philadelphia North American Believes Leiby Would
Be Easily Handled By Southern Democrats, Who
Fix a Lou Price For Wheat But Boost Cotton
to the Sky - Congressman FOcht Has
Always Stood By the Farmers

From the Phila. North American" October 20.
Opponents of Congressman Benny" Focht, who would
like to see him defeated, are not at all pleased with the selec-
ton made by the Democratic State Committees executive
committee and they say that Senator Scott Leiby would be
little Improvement on Focht, as far as representation at
Washington Is concerned.
Senator Leiby is one of the most faithful of the Palmer
Mccormick me too" Democrat. He is beled, so that the
Palmer-McCorrn state committee and Secretary Warren
VanDyke can locate him at any time. If he were to go to
Washington he would likely be every bit as easily handled as
though he were from the cotton belt, but wouldn't be able to
get nearly SO much for his constituency as the cotton belt
statesmen.
AS a State Senator, Leibys chief claims to distinction lay
in the fact that he voted dry when occasion arose to vote wet
or dry and that he was one the very few Mccormick Palmer
Democrats In the Senate. He began his campaign against
Focht a couple of weeks ago by declaring that Focht had no
patriotic record. To this Focht retorted that Leiby seems to
have no military medals, and that the Army is in need of men
such as Leiby asserts he is. Focht suggested that Leiby
enlist. Leiby had no reply to make, at least not in the paid
advertisements.
Leiby lives in Marysvle and makes his living in Harris
burg, where he practices law. He will probably serve in the
Legislature during the coming session instead of going to
Congress.

An incident showing the forward

There always is something in the
