FOREST FIRE CONTROL
 IS TO BE DISCUSSED
State Park and Forest Commissioners Will Have Conference on
 June 2i.

Hartford, Conn, June Is tPe-Tho state park and forest commission has called a conference to be held at the state capitol on June 24 al 10 a. m. (standard time) to discuss methods Of improving the forest fire control system.
 "Despite the fact that it Is over twenty years since the State of Con necticut made its first organized ef- fort to control forest fires" a state ment by State Forester A. r. Hawes says. and the fact that constant mprovement has been made both in methods of fire fighting and organ ization, the past spring has been one of the worst fire seasons on record. The fire hazard varies enormously with weather conditions. Apparent ly our present system is sufficient to cope only with seasons of, average fire hazard, A dry, windy spring such as the past, puts the situation almost beyond our powers Of control. This is due, not to lack of willing ness on the part Of the wardens and officials but to the fact that we do not have an adequate system of fire , lookouts on our hill tops or special patrolmen along our highways, that we are deficient in high power forest fire pump equipment and that We have no legal means Of co-ordinat- ing our local fire fighting companies
 with the state forest fire warden system"
 The conference will be open 10 the
 public and organizations such as the
 state grange, farm bureaus, lumber
 mems and forestry associations. state firemen's associations and other will be represented.
