Last year $4,000 forest fires
burned thirty and one-half million
acres of land, causing direct money
damage of s40,OO0000. In addition,
great losses were suffered in water
shed protection, wild life, recrea-
ton values, and potential timber
production; but these cannot be
estimated in money terms. These
facts are brought out as this Is
Fire Prevention Week.
According to the United States
Forest Service, there is still made
quate or no protection at all on
NEST of the forest land of the
country 1t is startling but never
theless true, that the fire loss in
unprotected forest land is sc
times greater than that suffered in
protected areas.
An adequate forest fire protec-
ton system involves, briefly, build
ing and manning sufficient lookout
towers; installing and maintaining
telephone lines and radio equip
ment; constructing and keeping Vi
roads, trails and landing fields
and providing tools, modern equip,
ment and supplies so that organ.
lied suppression crews can attach
fire without delay
A fire weather forecast service
is also needed to furnish accurate
localized forecasts suited to thu
needs of the protection agencies
Such a weather forecasting service
would have been invaluable las

COLISEUM PICTURE
HAS FINAL SHOWING
ON SCREEN TONIGHT

AS the title so aptly indicates,
THE Angels Wash Their Faces, .
the Warner Bros. picture which
ends tonight at the Coliseum
Theatre, presents the six Dead
End Kids in the somewhat I'M
familiar guise of law-abiding citi-
zens, but let no one conclude from
this that they've gone sissy, for
in this film they're still rough,
tough and aggressive.
Ann Sheridan heads the adult
contingent of players which also
includes Ronald Reagan, Henry o.
Neill, Eduardo Ciannelli and Ber-
ton Churchill, and in addition to
the Dead Enders, the juvenile COIL
tingent includes such accomplished
youngsters as Frankie Thomas
Bonita Granville and Jack Scarf
The picture is such exciting
and engrossing entertainment and
it moves so fast that one cannot
reflect during its embodiment
whether, as news event, 1t is
mere interesting because of the
new character of the Dead End
ers or the fact that it gives Miss
Sheridan, that girl with the
''oomph," her first altogeter
sympathetic role since she was
raised to stardom.

 To Hear Missionary
Rev. Robert w. Fairbank Mems Speaker Monday
 Evening Expert in Rural Reconstruction

Rev. Robert w. Fairbank of Vada- la, an outstanding expert in rural reconstruction and a member of one of India's most famous missionary families, is blazing the trail for more abundant living for the hard pressed farmers of that land, of which he will speak Monday Evening, Dec. 2 at the annual stag dinner and re- union of the Mems League of Bun ker Hill in the gym of the Congre- gational church.
 Born in India. the Marathi lan- guage is MT. Fairbanks second na- tive tongue. He is graduate of Amherst College and Hartford Sem mary, doing special work later in agriculture at Rutgers. MT. Fair bank returned to India under the American Board of Foreign Missions in 1926. Travelling by auto many miles annually through his great district of roughly 900 square miles, MT. Fairbank still finds places to which he must go by bicycle, on foot, or, as did his grandfather, by bullock cart.
 In 1857 "the year of the mutiny". mission work was started in Vadala by Dr. Samuel Fairbank, grand father of Robert w. Fairbank. In those days Dr. Fairbank walked from village to village, or travelled in a bullock cart with his butter tucked in hole dug in a loaf of home made bread. Two sons car- ried on rich tradition in the work, one being Rev. Edward Fairbank, father of Robert, now retired and living in Northfield, Massachusetts
 Believing that a mans stomach has much to do with his soul, MT. Fairbank tries in dozens of practical ways to increase the food supply of hungry villagers by importing new seeds, introducing nutritious foods like soy beans, COW peas and other vegetables and teaching scientific methods of improving goats and poultry.
 Because the Indian farmer is conservative and has to be shown Mr. Fairbank has a demonstration farm where he proves his points. The farmers see and are convinced. He has worked out a profitable poultry farm and aided the farmers in cooperative efforts for merchant dizing their eggs. The Imperial Council of Agricultural Research has its Poultry Breeding Research Sta ton at Vadala under MT. Fairbank s supervision.
 But MT. Fairbank is also keenly

Thousands of people of the edu- cated classes have heard him in In- dia. Japan, Korea, Burma, China and in Malaya. A few years ago South Americans thronged a series of meetings which he held in their principal cities. His following in the United States and Canada is probably unequalled by any other living religious leader. He had be- come intimately acquainted with Mahatma Gandhi, with Dr. Rabin- dranath Tagore, the noted Indian Christian poet, and Charles F. An- drews, the well-known Scotch mis- sionary and biographer of Gandhi.
 Eight books from the pen of pr. Jones, beginning with his famous ''The Christ of the Indian Road" have not only been best sellers in America and England-over 100000 copies-but they have also been translated into some twenty for eign languages.
