As yet there has been no oficial confirmation of the rumors that have been noised about during the past week by the department super irItendent, Thomas J. Condon, but 1t is safe to assume that these matters will be placed before and probably approved by the board members at this afternoons meeting.
 The latest reports received in con- nection with the entire business of transferrals and resignations is the fact that there is Q slight rumble of disapproval being heard in the Hopeville district, where, it is be. lieved, Miss E. Mae Keefe will be appointed as principal in place of Mrs. E. Frances Bailey-Platt who is expected to be retired from active duty at the close of the present year. The cause of the rumored dis satisfaction in the Hopeville district remains somewhat of a mystery.
 The changes that will be made in grammar school circles are the most extensive ever planned by the board in several years. There has been considerable talk of change ever since the board members voted to rage four local schools at a meet ing two weeks ago and to transfer pupils from the four upper grades at Oronoke school, leaving that school with but one instructor.

PrecautiOn Urged
BY Forest Warden
When Burning Fields
Individuals Responsible For For
est Fires Liable To Punish
ment, Says Forester

individuals responsible for the
setting of Forest Fires are liable to
punishment" according to District
Forester C. F. Winslow of Laurel,
Md. Mr.. Winslow calls attention to the
fact that the Laws of Maryland pro-
vide for a fine or Imprisonment for
such an offense, whether the fire was
willfully or accidently started. GIN ad-
dition," the Forester states, "the State
may enter Civil action against the
party responsible for the fire, to re-
cover the cost to the County and State
of suppressing it."
"Most fires burning in Montgomery
County could have been avoided had
proper forethought and care been
exercised. Our most damaging forest
fires are generally the result of debris
and grass burning operations" The
District Forester offers the following
suggestions to facilitate the safe
burning of debris:
1. Start your fire during calm
weather and as soon as possible after
a rain.
2. Start the fire during late after
noon, about 5 P M. The evening dew
will cause the fire to spread less
rapidly.
8. Make sure that the area to be
burned is surrounded by adequate
fire breaks such as roads, streams Oh
open fields. If such conditions do moi
exist, have burroughs ploughed arounc
the area for a width of at least six
feet.
A. Burn the field against the wind
5. Before starting work, get the
assistance of helpers and have rakes
pitch forks, shovels and barrels Of
water and buckets handy. If precau-
lions are used, one active man fol
each 100 feet of fire line should be
ample.
6. Notify your local fire depart
ment or Forest Warden before Vol
start burning and call for assistance
if the fire appears to be getting out
of hand.
z. People living with radius of 1C
miles of Burtonsville should call the
Lookout Tower (Laurel 4-F-3), and
notify the Towerman when they are
ready to start the burning operation
He is on duty during hazardous per-
iods so if no answer is received fire
conditions are probably not severe.
