Federal Aid for
Maine in Forest Fires

Thirty three states including Maine
will receive Federal funds to be
spent in preventing forest fires on
State and privately land, as
cording to an announcement made
today by the Forest Service. United
States Department of Agriculture.
The amount to be distributed to-
tails $607,670 and becomes available
on July l. Minnesota, Michigan,
North Carolina, Maine, Alabama,
Washington, Oregon. California,
Pennsylvania, New York, Texas,
Virginia. Louisiana, Idaho and Wis
consin are among the states receiv-
ing more than $4,000 each.
Other states in the appointments
include Massachusetts,, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont.
This distribution of Federal funds
Is made under authority of the
Clarke McNary Forestry Act to those
states which maintain forest protec-
ton agencies. Total expenditures by
these states including money contri-
contributed by land owners, amount
to about $S500,000 a year. However,
adequately to protect the $50, 900, 000
acres of forest land, exclusive of the
National Forests, located in these 80
states would require about $9,000,000
per annum, or less than three cents
an acre, say forestry officials. Thus
the funds, both State and Federal,
available for adequate protection Of
state and privately owned forest
forest land equal about one-third of
the estimated cost.
The Department Of Agriculture
also announces that $4,000 will be
spent during the fiscal year begin
ming July I, for conducting forest
taxation studies. The sum is like
wise authorized by the Clarke-Mc-
Nary Art.

American Catholics Building
New City For Greek Refugees

Outside of Athens, Greece, a new
city is rising, symbolizing for Greek
ana russian refugees a new life in
a kindlier world. 1t is the gift of
American Catholics to the orphaned
and destitute Greeks and Russians
OF the Near East. The work of
building the new city is progressing
steadily, under the care Of Monsig-
nor K. Barry Doyle, head of the
Catholic Near East Welfare Associ-
alton, of 247 Park Avenue, New
York City.
Nearby, in Athens itself, the As
ISOLATION has established a great or
phanage, a secondary school for boys
and girls, a convent for sisters and
a seminary for young levites. But
the new city, rising on the outskirts
OF Athens, to shelter the forlorn and
destitute of every race and creed,
remains the most striking achieve
ment OF Christian relief work made
possible by the Catholics of America.
