Brush Burning
Regulations

Approach of the spring forest fire
season makes it important that land
owners throughout Maryland famil-
iarize themselves with a regulation
in regard to debris and brush burn
ing recently established by the
Commission of State Forests and
Parks under the terms of the new
forest conservancy districts act,
State Forester Joseph F. Kaylor an
nounces.
This regulation Mr.. Kaylor ex-
plains, carries the provision that
during the three spring months of
March, April and May, and during
the four fall months of September,
October, November and December,
debris, brush and other inf1ammable
material may be burned in the vi
cinity of wooded areas only after
4 p m. and before midnight. A
further provision obligates the land
owner, lessee, tenant, agent, or res
ident in such cases, except when a
natural barrier exists to prevent the
spread of fire or when snow is on
ground, to pillow or otherwise con-
struct fire line at least 10 feet
wide, free of all inflammable ma
terial, entirely around the area to
be burned Regardless of weather
or other conditions, the regulation
also stipulates that whoever burns
debris or brush must provide suf-
ficient help, with tools, to prevent
the fire from escaping, and must
leave at least one Waterman on the
ground until the last spark is out.
"This controlled burning of de-
bris and BRUSH" Mr.. Kaylor goes on
to say, ''is simply a measure of pub
lie safety to prevent the needless
destruction of private property. At
least one-third of all forest fires in
Maryland get their start when fire
is permitted to escape in the course
of field burning, and it is most inn
portant that we reduce this hazard
to a minimum. The regulation in
question prohibits uncontrolled
brush burning at all times"

In this war we find ourselves stead
lily and certainly defeating the enemy
on all fronts. Thru Us God is venting
His righteous wrath on the powers Of
evil and guiding us on to victory.
The war is far from being over. but
if We held to our faith in God and
our telloWmen the time shall not be
far Oft when victory shall bring the
peace for which We pray and work,
and fight.
Hold on to faith, America But let us
not forget the home front In our auN-
iety over the happening abroad The
men in foreign fields viii be coming
home again some day, and We want
them to find home something worth
lighting for. They have faith in us
Just as we have in them on far away
battlefelds Don't let them down.
While our hearts and minds are oc-
cupied by thoughts of events in far
away places, certain powers at home
are springng up under cover of the
war effort, and steadily and surely
taking away one privilege after an
other until we find ourselves losing the
freedom for which our men are now
fighting. This must be stopped!
Adolph Hitler's power grew until
he thought himself greater than any
man, and not even second to God. You
all know what suffering his rise to
power has caused.
1t is not good for any man to think
himself greater than all the rest. Gen.

did any of the other men who have
been at the head of our government
throughout the years Of its existence.
If the future Of America depended
upon one man it would only survive as
long as that man lived, and would die
in the incompetent hands of those on
whom the responsibility Of its con-
tinuance would fall.
Has Mr.. Roosevelt lost faith in his
fellow countrYmen? Is there no other
man in this great nation capable Of
handling the reinS of our govern
ment? If not, then democracy is a
failure. 1t cannot produce seed to
carry on its existence. 1t is becoming
extinct
Throughout the whole career of our
nation God has helped us to find the
right man to head our government
when the need was great in any crisis.
My faith in God causes me to feel GER

RESPECT DEMOCRACY
By RUTH TAYLOR

Father Wilfrid Parsons brought
cut an interesting thought recently
which expresses great deal of what
is wrong in our attitude toward gov
eminent. He said that we are too apt
to treat Legislation as a sports event,
that a bill may be carefully and
thoughtfully worked out and brought
before Congress but, when the vote is
taken, the headlines read, "Such and
such side Won"
This is a strong indictment. Is leg
islation to be battle Of wits. or a
genuine effort to bring to pass a law
for the bettefment of all the people -?
Must there be winner and a loser
IN government? Or is this a govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people?
We must be more dignified in our
concept Of public life. We must make
It not a sports event where the clev-
crest is the best, but career in which
man does the best he can. We need
to treat with as much respect the
oath of office as we do the physicians
oath.
Have you heard the surprise with
which foreigners greet many of our
democratic" vitriolic attacks upon
those in authority? 1t starts with
surprise and then it turns into sort
CT derision, asking, SIS this democ-
racy?" If you would understand why
they feel this way, read the legisla-
tive news in your morning paper, crit
ically, not with amused tolerance.
Only as we take seriously om. du-
ties as citizens, prayerfully, earnest
ly seeking out the best men for the
job, regardless Of the party or the
creed to which they belong, then dig
nifying them with respect and ex-
pecting of them due recognition Of the
responsibility they owe-not to the
voters who elected them, but to ALL
the people of the United States-only
as we act this way can we properly
dignity the democratic process.
Let US show what we really mean
by a government Of the people, by the
people, for the people. Let US stop
thinking Of it as a race or a glorifed
advertising competition and treat
our government as we would have OUT
siders consided it. If we don't respect
the democratic process, we can't ex-
pect our world neighbors to do so.

various WPA work projects remember
the arrogant and bureaucratic treat
ment they received at the hands of

lief, remember the unnecessary trips
and delay that was forced upon them
by discoulteous officials.

Dealers foot. YOUR treatment was

Haze Some Years Left

Billy Conn is harder to guess. Not
so much has been heard about his
army life or his army work. But
Conn, younger and faster than
Louis, a better all-around boxer,
should have the same chance to fin
ish the war as first class ringman.
Conn could always afford to put on
a few pounds without losing any
speed. hear that he is now up
around 1876 pounds. 1t would be no
trouble to boil this down to 180,
which should be his more effective
weight.
The Pittsburgh entry has an
amazing amount of vitality and too
much courage for his own good
especially when he meets Louis.
Conn is another who should be a
irst-cIass heavyweight at "a or 35.
provided he takes any care of him
self on the physical side.
Both Louis and Conn have more
than one or two years to go, before
starting downhill at any rapid pace.
Just how long the war will last
inst how long they will be kept in
- is anybody's wobbling
guess.
