san Francisco, (Up)--A $500
cash present 70 q Citizens Conser.
walton Corps for saving home
during forest fire drew atten-
tlon 10 accomplishments Of corps
members In California woods this
season.
Leaders Of the citizen woodsmen
pointed proudly to statistics which
showed California had 1888
forest fires last year and only
S.9st In the same territory 80 far
In 1898.
The corps had many thrilling
experiences as they fought stub
One group OF 400 were trapped
by q sudden shift In the wind In
the Monterey district. 1mmedi-
ately they sought an open area
which the flames hadn't reached.
With red-hot sparks smouldering
In their clothing and oppressive
heat soaring their hands and
faces, they dug in". In q short
space OF them they had dug q. pit
in which they buried themselves
under dirt until the fire passed
over. A corps at San Pedro had
a similar experience.
TWO companies from Ohio
fought fire on Mt Lassen for
more than week. Many lost
their clothing. One boy reported
having had four pairs OF shoes
burned off his feet.
The corps members were given
careful training in forest fire
fighting when they came to this
area. Each squad member re-
ceived burlap bag. a pick and
a shovel for the larger fires. Daily
fire drills were held.

A vigorous attack upon the idea of money imitation was made last night by Cyrus s. Ching, industrial and public relations director of the U. s. Rubber Company of New York at a meeting of the Indus trial Foremen's Club at the YMCA. Furthermore, he declared "that the depression has forced upon the world the idea that a man must actually perform some ser vice to society if he Is to receive wages or salaries" The speaker noted that the period of imitation previous to depression brought about a condition in which no thought was given to the value of a mans services regarding the pay he received. Imitation was prac- ticed so widely that everyone was involved: The stock market gam bier, the man who received ex- cess wages and the man who was given large bonuses.
 He urged the foremen to give complete support to the new ad- ministration as 1t is faced with many difficult problems. The country is about to face a slow. hard process of adjustment and many people will have to take a further loss through the sealing down of intrenal debts, he as- serted.
 Advising against infating the currency. MT Ching brought out numerous points against this pro- cedure. He said 1t would weaken the dollar to such 6 point that any gain from increased paper money would be lost because of its low purchasing power.
 One of the principal benefits of the depression has been the real ization that many men who were placed in authority during boom times are being denoted because they have been found wanting In the real quality nedeed In a boss, leadership. A man does not have to assume patroniZing air or to try to impress on everyone he IS boss SO that people will understand thi. He need only show himself to be leader and his men VIII follow him, MT Ching declared.
 President J. A. Harry Peterson was in charge of the meeting. The speaker was introduced by John P. Coe, factory manager of the Naug- atuck Chemical company. It was announced that an invitation had been received to hold joint meet ing with the Meriden Foremen's Club at Meride on March IA. The speaker at the March 16 meeting O fthe Industrial Foremen's Club will be Detective Edward Hickey of Hartford who will discuss "Crime." It is expected that the To-
