FOREST PROTECTION
WEEK BEGINS MONDAY
Governors Proclamation Calls For
Observance Of This Week Be-
ginning May 22d:

The Governors proclamation set
ting aside the week of May 22d to
2Sth as Forest Protection Week de-
serves the thoughtful consideration of
every one interested in the future
prosperity Of Maryland
Maryland wood using industries re-
qure nearly i billion board feet of
lumber year, and they furnish en-
ployment to over 1000 men. Be
cause of disastrous fires which, year
after year, have ravaged our forests,
killing off invaluable young growth as
we'll as damaging mature timber,
these industries are forced to seek
outside the State for 65 per cent of
their requirements. Maryland's pres
ont forest area of two and a quarter
million acres could produce an
amount equal to the quantity con-
sumed under wise management and
the elimination of fire.
Each year the toll that forest fires
take in the way of young and mature
timber destroyed amounts to an av~
erage of $S5, 900 in which 10000
acres are buried over.
1t is indeed q serious indictment of
the people of Maryland that over half
Of these fires are directly attributable
to carelessness and ignorance on the
part of our citizens.
1t is because Marylanders should
know these facts and face squarely
the future prospects that are involved
in a continuance Of the present un-
recessary destruction of our forests
that this week has been set aside.
AS further stimulus to the
thoughtful observance of this week,
he State Board of Forestry has pre-
pared we'll Illustrated pamphlet con-
corning Maryland forests. With the
endorsement of Governor Richie and
State Superintendent Cook it hopes to
place this pamphlet in the hands of
every school teacher in Maryland for
the purposes of instruction during
this week.
The moving picture theaters thru
out the state are being asked to dis
rlay slide calling attention to the
duty of the public in helping to make
Maryland Forests free from fire not
only during Forest Protection Week
but for all time.
This sentiment the editor heartily
endorses

THE NEAR EAST
RELIEF APPEAL
June Isl Is ''Make-It-A-Bundle'
Week In Worcester
County.

June l is the opening day of
Make TIA Bundle" Week in this
county. During this week, the Near
East Relief appeals to every person
in this county to bring all the cloth
ing they can spare to centers for its
collection that will be announced
later.
This appeal is made to help clothe
millions in the Caucasus, who are
almost naked. many of them, bare
footed, in the snow. in the mountains.
These millions include many thousand
of little children who are wearing on
ly rags, that cannot protect their lit
lie bodies from the cold.
Housekeepers are now making
ready to pack their clothing away for
the summer. 70 them an appeal is
made to look carefully over what they
have and give anything that they can
possibly spare to these people who
need them so badly.
To merchants, who are now going
ever their stocks, an appeal is made
to send any shopworn clothing, or
shoes, that they can, for these people.
They will find many things that are
wearable and these things will make
many persons warm and happy.
The garments and the shoes collect
ed through this appeal, will be sent to
Maryland Headquarters, Ia West
Franklin street, Baltimore. There
these things will be baled and sent to
New York from where they will be
shipped to the Caucasus, where they
will be distributed to those who so
eagerly await them.
