FOREST FIRE TOWERMEN
ARE KEPT ON THE JUMP
Quick Detection of Numerous
Fires Means Quick Suppression

What does the forest fire towerman
do? Does he have soft snap viewing
the scenery from his lofty height?
Does he get a chance to sleep on the
job? Is he of any use in suppressing
fires?
You may have asked these questions
to yourself from time to time, and
wondered about the answers.
A glance at the daily record of one
will answer every question to your en-
tire satisfaction-that is, if you favor
the conservation of timber and wild
life.
A forest fire towerman goes to work
anywhere from to o'clock, depend
ing on the danger from day to day. He
Immediately observes the direction of
the wind and its velocity; the visibility,
tests his telephone, and calls one of the
CCC camps reporting the humidity.
The higher the humidity, the less dan
ger of fires, and a close tab on the
weather signs let's him know the posi-
bility of early control.
Every five to ten minutes the tower
man is either answering inquiries
about smoke regions, or telephoning
to his forest workers to investigate
certain areas.
The whole scheme is, of course, to
suppress forest fires and prevent loss
of property. This is done most effec-
lively in early detection and prompt
investigation. There are five towers in
Garrett county, Elder Hill, High Rock,
Shaggy Mountain, Bittinger and Negro
Mountain, all except the latter being
connected by telephone. The latter is
connected to the exchange at Grants
vile. All towers are so placed that
every portion of the county is covered
except a small portion in the Kempton
section, and even this part of the
county can be seen from a West Vir-
ginia fire tower.
A typical day for Clarence Grove,
towerman of the High Rock Tower in
cluded the following:
Reported wind velocity and visibility
as being smoky; tested telephone and
checked standard time, sighted smoke
m Mo- Jovr MorD+a;D. oDJ cap+ ont
inquiries; sighted smoke on Meadow
Mountain, and called about sending
fire crew there; another smoke sighted
on Backbone, also near town of Frank
lin; ordered fire crew to investigate;
sighted smoke in other directions; re-
ceived inquiries and reports from in
vestigating crews and kept in touch
with forest wardens about progress of
suppression. Calls back and forth con-
tinue throughout the day from 7:30
in the morning until 6:10 p. M, when
the tower was closed.
Forest towers are usually open about
two months in the spring and the same
period in the fall, when the dangers of
forest fires are at their height. Dur
ing no time is tower open at night,
as Cecil Ramsey, forester, stated they
were of no use for spotting fires after
dark, unless the actual fire has broken
through and is on high hill.
The quick suppression of forest
fires through prompt detection by
towerman, has saved timber and prop
erty worth many thousands of dollars
! it was stated.

CHECK-UP ON AVOIDABLE
ABSENCES OF STUDENTS
Parents Are Asked To Do This
So Conditions May Be Corrected

"How many days of school did your
child miss this year because of ill
ness ?" Glow many because of tooth
ache or because Of systemic diseases
resulting from unhealthy mouth con-
ditions ?" These are questions Dr..
Richard C. Leonard, Chief of the Di-
vision of Oral Hygiene of the Mary
land State Department of Health, asks
parents to consider.
"The close of the school year is a
good time for checking up on the
causes of avoidable absences from
school," DR.. Leonard continued, gin
order that the conditions may be cor
rected, if possible, and the recurrence
of similar absences in the future may
be prevented. This is especially true
if the absences are due to decaying
teeth or to some other unfavorable
condition of the mouth.
"Decaying teeth are far too often
regarded as mere annoyances that will
take care of themselves and that have
no connection with the general health.
1t is not unusual for child with de-
cayed and aching teeth to be told: ooh,
forget it. Anybody who has ever suf-
fered from toothache knows that the
pain is too real to forget it.
GAS a matter of fact, tooth decay
is something that cannot be disregard
ed safely. 1t is a disease and it is re-
sponsible for more than aches and dis
comfort If neglected, decaped teeth
are capable of bringing about far
reaching results which may affect the
entire system. On that account care of
the teeth is major factor in build
ing up and maintaining the general
health.
Individual care of the teeth is of
special Importance in maintaining
mouth health-and incidentally of
keeping up the general health. Eating
proper foods and a thorough cleans
ing of the teeth, twice a day are es-
sential for the preservation of mouth
health. And if the absences of your
child from school, this year, can be at
tributed to neglected teeth, this is an
especially favorable time to put into
practice a third essential for mouth
health. That is, the regular visit to
your family dentist. If you do this,
he can probably correct the conditions
that caused the trouble, and can pro-
tect against future trouble by discov-
ering and correcting conditions just
starting.
at isn't always possible to say def
nitely how much time has been lost in
school attendance through tooth trou-
bles and neglected teeth. But it is an
admitted fact that if every school child
could start the school year with teeth
free from defects and we'll cared for,
the attendance would be materially
improved. At the same time, the child
would be spared the unnecessary suf-
fering that comes from neglected and
decaying teeth.
Safeguard your own children by
making a definite engagement for
them with your own dentist, early in
the summer vacation"

COUNTY TO TRY
ROAD PROCESS
Ely-Embarrass Road Will Be
First to Receive the New
Surfacing Mixture.

Inauguration Of a newly discovered
road surfacing process in st. Louis
county viii be made on the Ely
Embarrass County Road No. q. south
of the city, it has been announced by
s. B. Shepard, county highway engineer.
Discovered by the federal bureau of
public roads, the new treatment will
give the road a surface with a density
equal to that of concrete cement when
maintained under favorable moisture
conditions.
Soil tests are now in progress on the
Ely EmbarraSs road under the direction
of Fred A. HaakenSen. assistant road
construction engineer The new surface
viii be applied to an emile stretch as
an initial experiment after which the
county board may conside- a broader
application in the county.
The method calls for more SCIENTIFIC
mixture Of gravel, local sells and cal
cium chloride. Use of local soils as a
binder instead of more expensive impor-
tations is said to provide more stable
surface for durable highways at a low
cost. The surface is dllsrlesS and has
been proven capable Of withstandine
heavy traffic in eastern industrial CEN
tiers.
Although the process was used on
state highways. st. Louis Will be the
first county to proceed with a program
of stabilized surfacing.

their fellow man. He also laid stress
on the fact that money Was not every

money have you got but what did you
do for the betterment of the world and
the people therin."
