IN M MORIAM

The character of such man as
John S. Hooper is entitled to much
more than a passing word. He was
not only a credit to his constituents,
but an honor to his Nation, to his
adopted state and to his community;
and we but honor ourselves by dis
charging the duty of paying hum
BILE tribute to his memory.
There is no rule for measuring hu-
man greatness. The standard chang
es with each age and generation, but
it can be truly said that when the
heavens are rolled away like a scroll.
the name Of John S. Hooper will shine
among those who lived lives really
worth while.
No words which can be uttered here
household who were so near and dear
to him, but the consolation which
comes from the knowledge that he
had faithfully met the responsibilities
of husband, father. friend and citizen,
is evident
He was honored and remembered
because OF his high character, ability
and industry. After all. any man has
lived to great purpose who has
built up. developed and established
such character, the one indestruc-
table material in destiny's fierce cru
cible."
1t is glorious to contemplate the
joys and beauties of life well spent
The web of life is drawn into a loom
for us all. but we weave it ourselves.
We throw our own shuttles and work
our own treadles.
He has passed into one of the Faith
er's many mansions. May the record
of his life be an inspiration to us, and
those who come after us. and may
his loved ones go forward with per-
feet faith in
THAT God who ever lives and loves,
One God. one law, one element.
And one far-off. divine event
To which the whole creation moves"

FIRE PROTECTION TO SAVE
OUR NATIONAL FORESTS

More than fire protection is often
necessary to keep forest lands pro-
ducing the most valuable species or
producing at absolute complete capa-
city. But, as rule, fire protection
alone will keep our forest lands con-
tinuously producing some timber and
avoid the necessity of resorting to ar
tificial planting.
There are millions of idle acres
throughout the timbered regions of
the United States that are burden,
rather than an asset to the public, be-
cause of fire. OF these vast areas
there are thousands and thousands of
acres of non-productive brush fields
within these areas that are non-pro-
ducing wastes because of fire.
Millions of acres in Pennsylvania
which once supported the stands of
pine and hardwood, which enabled
that state to take first place in lum-
ber production in 1860, have become
covered with scrub oak or other less
valuable underground, not primarily
because of reckless cutting, but be-
cause of reckless and repeated burn
ing.
Nothing in the treatment which has
been given American natural resour-
ces Is more amazing than the appar-
ent characteristic Indifference OF a
great majority of the people to the
wasting by fire of our indispensable
resources of timber.
The Forest Service is endeavoring
during Forest Protection Week,
April 16 to %, to bring this matter
as forcibly before the people as pos
sible, as it is of paramount interest
to all good citizens to see to it that
our great natural resources are pro-
tected and conserved, not only for the
present generation but for the use
and enjoyment of your children and
your childrens children. Therefore
use every precaution with fire when
in the mountains. Care and vigilance
on the part of every citizen will ma
terially reduce this deplorable annual
waste-this heritage-these wonder
full resources, the values of which are
too big to understand. Are not these
facts sufficiently SOLDERING in charac
| ter 10 make us all think well of the
future?

Mr.. Hooper had been appointed
