Fire Wardens Named For All
townships In Noble County
TO Prevent Loss o. Timber

F. c. Hughes, Dexter City route
1, Noble county fire warden, has an
tenants that all land owners and
tenants residing in rural section of
Noble county must secure burning
permits from local forest fire war
dens during March, April and May.
John A. Bastian, fire control for
ester of Ohio, is stressing the great
damage done by uncontrolled fires
to soil, water, and wild life as we'll
as to growing timber.
Burning over of grass lands des-
troys soil humus and speeds up soil
erosion. Loss of sol humus, Bestian
says, lowers the water holding ca
pacity of soil, so necessary for cul-
tivat on of crops or sustained pas
turing.
A number of factors indicate that
the current spring fire season may
be a hazardous period in this sec
tion of the state, including Noble
county. Light snow fall druing the
winter has left woods and fields in
an unseasonably dry condition. A
few days of sunshine and high winds
will cause fire to spread with great
speed.
Heavy timber harvests during the
war have left a vast amount of
"Slash" in forested areas and this
creates another acute hazard.
Forest and field fires take a hea-
Wy wild life toll; young birds and
game burn or suffocate in their
nests and food and cover are des-
troyed.
Burning permits are issued free to
responsible parties by the local for
est fire warden. Definite safety
rules, printed on each permit, must
be strictly complied with or the per
nit is null and void and the permit
holder subject to persecution.
Forest fire wardens in this coun-
ty by townships are:

land, o: c. o. Engle, route 2 Cald-

Draft Board Takes Exception
TO Wilbur Matson Editorial

on appearing at this office the regis
trant talked to the writer making
the following statement, That as
his two brothers had been dis
charged from service he felt it his
duty that he enter the armed SER
vices Also the young man stated
he was tired of taking slurs from
others who had sons or brothers in
the service.
"After the registrant's visit to the
local board office, the writer pre-
sented these facts to the local board
in their next session. The registrant
was classified and inducted in re-
cognition of his request for same.
"After the editorial in question ap-
peared in the Caldwell Journal, it
was my privilege to have as visi-
tors in the local board office two
farm people from Jefferson township
who had read the statements as
printed in the local paper. They
stated it was known fact in Jeffer-
son township that this mother,
widow, had said last summer this
was her last crop and her last year
on the farm as she was selling out.
1t is my understanding this state
ment was general knowledge in the
neighborhood in question.
perhaps the above statements
will make it clear in the minds of
Noble County residents just why
this young man was inducted."
