Congress for fire fighting are at low
cbb near the clcse of the fiscal year,
and entirely insufficient to meet emer-
gencies.
Forest Service Taking No Chances
There will be plenty of fires later
in the year, state the forestry men.
Lightning will set some, and campers,
motorists, railroads, picnickers, and
brush burners good many more. The
Forest Service is not taking any
chances, however, for it's 5000 smoke
chasers, fire lookouts, rangers, and
supervisors are all con their toes" to
put into motion, at moments notice,
the big fire-fghting machinery they
have developed.
Eighty per cent Of the froest fires
that occurred in the United States
during the past five years were due to
human carelessness. A camp fire left
burning, a lighted match or cigarette
butt thoughtlcssly thrown aside, the
forcstcrs say, often cause conhagara-
tions that take days and weeks of
hard work to suppress. 1t is for this
reason that they ask every good citi-
zen to adopt as a part of his daily
creed the motto of the Forest Service
Put Out, Keep Out-Forest Fires.

nomic drain. Good roads are an as
set, bad roads are liability.
Second, because the success of the
agricultural, industrial, economic and
social life of our state depends
largely upon transportation
roads and state highways.
Third, the introduction of the au-
tomobile and the motor truck has
rapidly changed the character of
travel. State highways are absolute
ly necessary to meet these changed
conditions.
Fourth, state highways will mean
improved school facilities, more
churches, better farms, quicker com
mdnication, reduction in cost of trans
portation and generally improved con
dltlons-moral, social and economical.
"F1tth, because complete system
of state highways will carry light in
to- dark place, build up and improve
the morals of our citizens and induce
good people to settle in our midst
Sixth, because we must look be-
yond the county line-state construc
ton and maintenance make for broad
vision and high ideals. The Piedmont
section of the state should be linked
with the coastal section and the Pee
Dce-we should know each other bet
ter.
Seventh, because highways con-
structed and maintained by the state
man equal privileges to all, special
privileges to none and will Law the
foundation for the, development of our
rural districts, towns cities and com
mcrcial centers
Eighth, because prosperity is head
cd our way and it is absolutely neces-
Sary that the state provide a fund for
Federal aid to be able to take advant-
age, of the governments offer Of Fed
eral aid. All other states arc making
ample preparations along that line.
Ninth, because more and better
roads can be built and properly main
tanned by the state than through To-
cal units. County end townships will
never provide complete system, such
as IS needed by the state.
Tenth, because every individual in
the state of South Carolina will benc-
fit directly or indirectly from state
system of public roads and, therefore.
should contribute towards their con.
struction.
"South Carolina must 90 forward.
1t cannot go forward without a state
system of permenent highways We
believe the people of the state want
them. We are going to organize that
sentiment"

auguration Of program of road

at is the decision of the officers of

be organization" said Mr.. Jennings.
I'VE want to enroll in our organIza-
ton every progressive man and wo-
man in South Carolina who feels that
the state should have system of per-
manent highways.
There are, as we see it, ten very
strong reasons why South Carolina
should have permanent state high
ways.

FOREST SERVICE DEPLORES

The Forest Service OF the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
commends a more intelligent use of
timber after it is grown. Forest CON
servation. deals with the utilization
or wood in the sawmill or factory, as
well as with its production in the for
est. There is just as much conserva-
tion in making twice as many ak hand
les out of the same amount of wood
as there is in doubling the amount of
WOOD grown on particular area.
Investigations made by the Forest
Service have shown that in logging
and manufacturing an average tree
but 80 per cent of it's total volume. in
GUIDING limbs and bark, is actually

lished by the average yield, comput-
ed by the Bureau of Crop Estimates,

ture, for these three crops for each
State from the records Of SO years.
On the other hand, the North At

gions of comparatively low risk, or de-
Walton of yield per acre from tho

The great corn belt, with it's enor-
nous production and surplus above To-
cal consumption, is, after all, promin-
emily subject to risks of weather, in
sects, and disease in the production of
crops, and, while it would be going too
far to say of this region as a whole
that the results Of its agriculture are
either "a feast or a famine" yet there
is tendency in this direction as the
area covered by the average becomes
more restricted to county, township,
and individual farm.

WESTERN FOREST FIRE
SEASON OPENS FAVORABLY Y
Relief Felt by Forest Service Officials
Because of Small Funds Avail
able for Fighting Fires-Splendid
Service Observation-Disclosures Pub
lie to be Careful.

Frequent rains have been boon to
the western forests this spring, and
the GERS of the Forest Service,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, express themselves as great
~ relieved at escaping a danger which
has been keeping them on the anxious
seat.
The danger was that if the summer
ire season came on as usual their
control on the National Forests would
be impossible with the funds available
before July |, when a new fiscal year
begins. The appropriation for the cur
rent fiscal year was heavily drawn up
on to fight fires list summer and fall,
and though deficiency appropriations
was obtained from Congress which
partly replenshed the fund, the
amount available this spring for pro-
tecting the National Forests has been
less than the average expenditures
necessary during the same period in
recent years. Hence the relief that
frequent rains have kepto the forests
too damp to permit dangerous condi-
tlonS to become general.
Public Is Becoming Interested
But the Government foresters do
not consider that this is entirely due
to favorable weather and timely rains.
The public IS becoming interested in
forest preservation, and the oft-re-
peatcd story of the destruction caus-
ed by human carelessnes sis beginning
to make its impression. The United
States leads all nations i'm forest fires.
With over 10000 fires per year, de-
sstpying nearly $20,0O0,OO0 worth of
timber and property, this country has
the world outclassed.
There have only been four large
fires SO far this year in the lat ma
tlonal forests scattered throughout the
c0untry-one in Minnesota, one in
Florida, and the other in Arizona, one
of which started in Mexico and swcpt
across the international boundary.
This is an exceptional record and
means much to the Forest Service,
since tho limited funds allotted by

The Forest Service is encouraging
the drive launched by wood turning
manufacturers for standardizing the,
raw material, reducing waste, and ex.
tending the timber supply.

improvements Made
In Pythian Hall

Dancing enthusiasts in st. Johns
bury, at least those who take in
the various pleasant affairs which
are conducted in Pythian hall dur
ing the year, will be interested to
learn that Ernest H. Cowles, own
er Of the building, is making ex-
tensive repairs in the hall, which
are certain to be a big improve
ment.
To begin with he has secured
the services of E. Provisor of New
port, who operates a sanding mach
inc, a unique apparatus for sand
papeling floors and something
which, as far as can be learned,
is a distinct innovation in this
town. Mr.. Provisor is going over
the floors in both halls with this
machine and is doing an excellent
job. When his work is finished
both floors will be thoroughly
shellacked, thus making an ideal
floor on which to trip lightly.
The sanding machine does the
work of at least six men and ac-
complishes fine work. The roofs on
| the machine must be changed
about every twenty minutes on the
average floors. 1t has vacuum
attachment. which collects the
dust.
