Many State Forests
Suffer From Fire
Forestry Department, Forest Fire WGrdeRs And CCC
Camp CreEOs Kept Busy Last Saturday; Largest
Fire Was In Cedar SIUGRlp In Sussex County,

According to State Forester W. s.
Taber, present indications are that
the spring of 1886 will show on the
records as one of the worst fire sea-
sons in several years. Low visibility
from the fire lookout towers, high
winds and dry conditions Of the for
est food coupled with earelessness
on the part Of those who, because Of
prior wet conditions, have been kept
from their normal field and brush
burning activities. and in their
haste are careless, accounts for
most Of the fires, he says.
Last Saturday Worst Day
Last Saturday afternoon was one
of the worst days of the season to
date, accounting for seven fires
ranging from TO rs acres in ex-
tent in Western Kent and Southern
Sussex counties. The largest fire, rs
acres In Cedar Swamp, was ObserV-
ed by DagsborO Towerman Ebe At

MOST FATAL ACCIDENTS
OCCUR IN RURAL DISTRICTS

According to the Delaware Safety
Council 81 per cent Of fatal motor
car accidents occur in small towns
and rural districts-fOur out of five
on smooth, dry roads, and four out
OF i've In clear weather.
Many traffic engineers also agree
that speed too fast for existing con-
ditiOns is responsible for the major
ity OF fatal automobile accidents.
John Smith and thousands of
other men like him climb into their
high-pOWered cars, lured by the fine
weather, out into the country. The
road is smooth, the effortless driving
intoxicating. Unnoticed, the speed
arrow climbs and climbs. Suddenly
there is an emergency. Brakes are
slammed on hard-too hard at such
the beautiful car Is roll.
ing over and over. Or that curve
ahead turns out to be sharper than
anticipated, and the tires do not
hold Or that half-hidden lane sud
denly disgOrges a farm wagon or
hivver, and no possible human effort
can prevent a smash-up.
John Smith considers that he has
slowed down enough TO pass the
crossroads safely-and yet, his
speed carries him into the side Of
another car. For speed Is relative.
Any speed is too fast that may lead
to an accident.
