BRUSH BURNING TO BE
DEFERRED AS PREVENTIVE MOVE

The state foresters office has given
instructions to fire Wardens to defer
the burning of slash, brush, or other
forest material on state and private
lands, resulting either from logginp
operations or clearings for agricultur-
al purposes, until such time as there
is a change in weather conditions, so
that there will be sufficient moisture
to control the burning and prevent
the spreading Of fires to adjoining
property.
The public and private agencies re-
sponsible for protecting the forests OF
the state from fire, request the full
cooperation of lumbermen, farmers,
summer home residents and others, by
refraining from doing any burning
until the fall rains arrive.
Forest fires are destructive and
costly to control Brush fires will
spread rapidly if started during this
Indian summer weather Please help
us by not starting any fires" State
Forester Rutledge Parker said Tues
day. I'VE are especially anxious to
have the cooperation of the farmers
of the state, who may not realize that
unusual weather conditions this fall
make brush burning unusually dang
erous. Without this cooperation we
might still have serious fires In the

the Peptomist Girls came forward with
new clothes and real, honest to-good-
ness "melodramer. The new Peptomist
toys consist of bright blue corduroy
coveralls with gorgeous gold blouses
and shoes Of the latter color.
The "melodramero was the result OF
the Peptomists super-efforts and much
midnight oil, but it was one Of the
cleverest that we have seen We can
just imagine how hard the winsome
authors chewed their pen-holders
while they were creating the tenor
hero. altogether noble; the heroine as
pure as snow; and the polished villain
not to mention the bloodhound who
