Rev. \. l.. Dodd Called to Dutton -Grass Fire Behind Post Office Birthday party-Church No tices-ItcnS of Interest.

A heavily loaded truck owned by the Kaplan Furniture company Of Mcridcn and bound for Hartford with a load of furniture caught fire this morning almost directly oppo- site the North filling station on Webster hill, Berlin. Damage was confined to blankets and several pieces of furniture, the latter be- ing scorched Further damage was avertcd by the quick action of sev- eral truck drivers and motorists who. together with the driver of the truck, proceeded to unpack the load and pour water over the flames that were already beginning to creep through the entire van.
 Although it was not definitely learned how the truck started to burn. it was thought by the driver that either q spark from the muf fer or possibly cigarette tossed into the load by q passing car had been the source.
 Residents living nearby first wit messed the truck when the latter had come to d stop just before reaching the brow of Webster hill with smoke issuing from the sides and the top Of the load. With the aid of t group of almost 20 men who had stopped. quick shifting of the furniture from the truck to inc ground took place, followed by a dcluGc of water obtained in pails from nearby houses. An hour after the fire haf been discovered, the truck had been rcpackcd and was again proceeding on its way 10 Hartford.

PLANS TO SURVEY
WOOD BEAR FRUIT.
Efforts of Congressman Sum-
mers Bring Results in An
nOuncement of Survey

Eleven years of effort on
the part of Congressman
Summers, of Washington and
others, to bring about a ma
tion-wide survey of forest
areas, are bearing fruit. This
announcement was made sim
Infamous with information
coming from the Department
of Agriculture that a survey
of this nature has been
launched.
1t was largely through the
efforts of the Washington
member that necessary funds
to conduct this survey We're
secured in the last Congress.
Fittingly the first work will
be conducted in the Pacific
Coast district and primarily
in Washington where large
forest areas are still in exist
ence. as,s-
1t is believed that this sur
vey, after a thorough study
has been made, will do much
to bring about the establish.
ment of a concrete program
OF conservation. Such a pro-
gram would not only preserve
our forests but would do much
to prevent the erosion of land.
caused by denuding the coun-
try of timber. Still farther
it would also aid in the flood
control work.
Speaking of the work to be
done, Congressman Summers,
called attention to the fact
that over 600 towns and cities
would be without water and
hundreds of thousands of
acres of now fertile land in
the west would become dry
as the Sahara desert, were it
not for the conservation work
that has become accomplished
and the water sheds built.
In addition to his interest
in the national forest survey
