The meeting of the Valley county
people for suggestions on recreation
facilities at Fort Peck, with the Fort
Peck engineers has been set for Nov.
10. Keep this meeting in mind and
be there with your suggestions.
Last week end, many of the cabins
at Fort Peck were raided and some
were damaged by rifle fire. In fact,
the damage is much more than the
loss. 1t is pretty hard to understand
people who have so little considera-
ton of the possessions of others that
they cause this damage. The owners
have advised that the guilty parties
will be prosecuted to the limit when
caught.

Fishing at Fort Peck lake has been
pretty tough the past week. A week
ago Sunday the lake vas covered
with w~hitecaps. DR.. c. N. Gray

was going to sweep the whitecaps
off the lake and last Sunday the

caught nothing. There were some
nice catches in the Duck creek area.
One boat had a dozen perch and
half dozen nice pike. However, Mon
day people were at the lake without
success.

railroad Workers
Taught Forest
Fire Fighting

Some eighty Mexican railroad
workers, employed by the B & o rail
load, have been given instruction in
.orest fire control by the Department
Of State Forests and Parks.
The instruction took place at the
ailroad barracks located at Aiken,
cecil County, and included movies on
forest fires and how wood is helping
he war effort. -
Following the showing of the
movie, the men were taken to the
held where the use of various fire
lighting tools was demonstrated. La
Ter the Edwards portable pumper and
the patrol truck bumpers owned by
he Department of Forests and Parks
we're demonstrated to the men. Not
only have these men been instructed
TO fight fire, but as railroad employ
ees they are burning 100 strips along
The tracks in order to remove inflam-
mabfe leaves and brush from the
reach of sparks and hot ashes dis
charged from the steam locomotives.
Forestry and railroad officials agree
this is one certain way of reducing
the number of forest fires started by
the railroads.
