Virginia Forest Fires
Are Expected 10 Be
QueI|ed by Nightfa|I
Flames Rovoge Hundreds
Of Acres Of Timber
In Giles County
BY the Associated Press.

PEARISBURG, Va, May THE
forest fires which have ravaged
hundreds of acres Of valuable tim
berlands In Giles County since
Monday we're reported to be we'll In
hand today.
Pearisburg citizens who could see
the fires from their homes said
the flames, which at peak height
have hared to 200 feet, were burning
low. They expected the situation
to be completely in hand by night.
Since Wednesday, the local VOL
unteer flrefiighters have been aided
by 200 soldiers from Camp Pickett,
the soldiers working in day and
night shifts of 10. A fresh shift of
the Camp Pickett men, who are
quartered in the Pearisburg High
School gymnasium, went to the fire
area this morning.
Concentrate on Flat Top.
State forestry officials have con-
centrated on keeping the flames,
which have darkened many acres
of Sugar Run Mountain. from reach
ing Flat Top Mountain. On and
beyond Flat Top not only lies thou
sands OF acres of valuable white
oak and poplar trees, but the city
OF Pearisburg. If the fires had
crossed and consumed Flat Top
there was strong possibility they
would have gone on across Nom
Business Creek and through woods
to within a few hundred yards OF
Pearisburg.
At the peak of the emergency
Pearisburg High School boys were
called to help Pearisburg citizens,
volunteers from neighboring towns
and farm folk. The boys were still
helping to fight the fire today. State
Forester Fred C. Peterson sent out
an appeal for additional assistance
Wednesday, when the Pickett SOL
diers were rushed to the scene, with
Maj. Thomas j. B. Lohr in COM
mand.
Elk Take Refuge in Valleys.
Dozens of frightened elk took
refuge in the valleys The sections,
where the fire has wrought havoc,
has been favorite hunting grounds
for sportsmen for many years. Loss
Of animals and birds was said to be
heavy.
The fires went out of control Mon
day, when they swept from Bland
County into Giles. The timberlands
of Sugar Run Mountain flared for
hours, threatening Flat Top. Yes
terday, in order to save the latter
mountain, the fire fighters concen-
trated on the banking of a fire trail
on Flot Top Mountain, using the
well-known device of back firing.

JOB FOR A sTATIsTIcIAN

Some statistician should be commits
stoned to keep tally upon the number of
complaints that arise from Congressman,
armchair warriors and so-called military
experts.
Congress has largely developed into q
forum of discomfort with many members
talking much and demanding more Itsounds
good, we presume, for citizen to read that
Congressman Whosit has demanded legis-
lation in his favor, even when everybody
knows that It won't happen and that it
shouldn't happen
The armchair warriors are busy, Just
row, fighting the battle of central Tunisia
in the proper way. They can tell you, off
hand just what Ger Eisenhower should
have done and howgeasily it would have
been TO crumple the Nazi tank attacks, if
they had been doing the fighting.
These military experts are busy dis
cussing the U-boat menace and the man
power problem, with some attention being
paid to deciding whether Germany or Ja-
pan should be whipped first They write
fluently, logically and with abundance Of
what passes for information.

KILLING BLACK MARKETS

What is true of Key West is true of
every other city regarding point rationing,
which went into effect yesterday some
housewives don't understand the way in
which it is conducted. However, difficulties
of that nature will be overcome with the as
sistance of grocers and meat-market men,
While some of us may worry over point
ratiohing, all of us should rejoice that cell
ing prices on pork, bacon and other food
stuffs will go into effect on April l, which
will put stop to the up and up and up that
have been the rule with the commodities af-
fected
The black market in meat, which the
OPA has been fighting and is still fighting,
extended to Key West, according to infor-
nation The Citizen has received However,
it did not concern hometown grocers and
meat-market men.
That practice will be brought 10 a
standstill, in Key West as well as elsewhere
in the country, when ceiling prices are
placed on meats, and all slaughter houses,
even on farms, must take out licenses.
Hence, while rationng has inconven-
fenced some of us, we have reason row 20
be thankful to the OPA in pegging meats for
the duration. Where the prices are fixed OF
any commodity, they sound the death knen
OF black marketing, which can operate ONLY
where it can connive to increase its own
prices with the knowledge that the retailer
must increase his prices to make profit
BIT with the retailer held down to a fixed
price, he will be unable to buy at the high
prices that keep black markets alive
Pegged prices kill black markets.

Fighting Grandpa, Fighting Grandson

was master at the art of 'decep-
ton and surprise. He hit and ran,
nearly always against superior
forces. He was the real predecessor
of modern blitz warfare, insofar
as his equipment would permit"
Old General Forrest likewise
was the first cavalry leader to use
his horsemen as modern cavalry
is used, his 37-year-old descen-
dant explained. Horses were used
for mobility, but when the fight
ing began the men dismounted
and operated from whatever cover
available really mounted in
fantry.
His famous slogan, Get thar
fustest with the mostest men," is
the motto of the blitz legions of
1913, but, says his great-grandson.
he probably never said it like that
at all. Letters and papers show
that the first General Forrest, al
though he had little formal edu-
cation, expressed himself well.
Another famous saying of the
general was the order given to
charge both ways" when he was
hemmed in by Federal troops. The
contradictory. order worked and
Forests troops fought free in the
face of superior Federal forces.
Ger. Nathan Bedford Forrest
1.-THE second, modern soldier and
a youngish man with wrinkles
arolsnd his eyes from squirting
at the sun, has been in the Air
force since he graduated from
West Point in 1928. He has more
than 1000 hours of flying time to
his credit and has served with
every type of combat unit from
fighter to heavy bomber.
He came to Fort Wright when
the Second Air Force was activat-
ed in 1871 as executive officer of
the 5th bombardment wing. Sue
cessively, he was executive officer
of the End bombardment COM
mand and G-3 officer of the Sec
ond Air Force, then chief of the
staff.

FREE PUBLICITY FOR CHURCHES

Whenever a church organization thinks
enough of publicity to prepare articles
about its activities, The Citizen will print
taem. This does not mean that we are turn
ing over the news columns of this newspa-
per to any church organization for any
use
The legitimate news Of a church in this
community will be printed if some member
OF the church organization thinks enough
o. it to prepare the news items If the pub
Lefty is not worth the trouble, in the opinion
OF those Interested. then there is no oc-
casion for exertion.
We call attention to- this matter be-
cause occasionally one hears rather indirect
criticism Of the lack of news about parti-
oular church. When this occurs, it is due en-.
tirely to the laziness of those connected with
the church itself
Our columns are open for actual news
Of all the churches. 1t couldn't be done by
any one man and. moreover, no one indi-
vidual could do il without being accused Of
favoring certain churches.

JUVENILE CRIME A PROBLEM


Boom conditions in many conmuni-
ties and easy money in youthful hands, .
saysF. B. |. Director j. Edgar Hoover, "are
contributing to the general 1et-down in
moral standards among Juveniles
Mr.. Hoover speaks from the record.
which shows that the age of the most fire.
quent arrests in 1912 was 49, This is drop
of one year from the level which predomi-
mated from 1889 to 1871.
"A deplorable lack of parental guild
arce and discipline in many homes" saws
this crime expert, is responsible for an
alarming increase in the number of girls
under Il arrested in 1912 Compared with
l94l, the percentage increase was 557 per
cent. This is enough to give every citizen
serious concern.
The decentralization that accompanies
warfare may be responsible, in part, for
the fact that CAS- per cent. more girls under
Il were arrested for prostitution and COM
mercialized vice in 1912 as compared with
the preceding year. This certainly indicates
that there is considerable work to be done
by those concerned about the youth of the
land
We call attention, however, to the fact
that the figures quoted are in percentages
OF those arrested for the previous year. No
careless reader should assume that the per-
centages represent correct determination
as to the number of individual offenders
Recognizing the dangers that arise in
wartime, authorities have been more vigil
liant. Frequently, an Individual is arrested
more than once for the same offense Con-
sequently, no one knows whether the in
crease reported attests greater zeal on the
part of the enforcement officers or greater
crimes on the part of young people.
Frankly, we have great faith in the
young people of the United States. Despite
the lamentations of reformers, always anx-
ious to regulate the lives of other people.
we seriously doubt if crime has increased
557 per cent. among girls under 81 or that
prostitution and commercialized vice have
increased 64.8 per cent.
The figures, regardless of what they
demonstrate, should stimulate adults to ex-
ert themselves in the interest of youth. Ger
tainlysthose interested in social reforms and
what isstermed moral righteousness have an
opportunity to do something about situa-
ton which will not be improved by de-
nunciation.
The test of what we will do about this
situation will be what we do in Key West.
There is a great field for activity along this
line, offering a rare opportunity for Chris
tan service to growing youth.
Before denouncing young people. it
might be a good idea for adults to ask them
selves What have We done to help the
young people secure proper recreation ard
amusements?'
