Maryland Mapping
Forests, Spottin!g
Rural Fire Plugs
BY the Assoejofsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. 14-The
State Department of Forests and
Parks is adopting new technique
in forest fire fighting-mapping haz-
ardous areas, and incidentally spot
ting its rural fire plugs"
Assistant State Forester H. G
Buckingham, in charge of fire con-
troll, said today the department had
completed it's work in Charles
County and was moving ahead in
Anne Arundel and Calvert Counties
The rural fire plugs" wartime
development hitherto kept quiet, are
water holes located to aid in stra-
tegic fire fighting. H.
They are concrete pipes feet in
diameter and feet deep, in moist
places or over springs and wells
where water accumulates.
Can Hold 200 Gallons.
They were set up during the wal
to help safeguard areas of military
value. They can contain as many
as 200 gallons of water which "will
go long way toward fighting a
forest fire." Mr. Buckingham said.
These plugs are being spotted or
maps by special crews of depart
ment workers. The maps include no.
tations of types of forest and brush
growth. availability of water, and
the easiest means of access to any
point.
Besides Anne Arundel, Calvert anc
Charles Counties, the mapping will
be done in Prince Georges, ST
Marys, Howard, Baltimore anc
Montgomery.
Plan to Include Whole State.
Although the work in these coun.
ties, comprising the States mos
hazardous fire areas, .is expected tt
be completed by next spring, th'
department plans eventually to in
clude the entire State.
Mr. Buckingham noted that wfer
an area was mapped, a warden see,
ing smoke rise at any particula,
point would know Immediately tn,
nature of the fire fighting problem
there. The warden will be in posi-
ton to summon the best aid anc
coordinate the fire fighting force!
in the area, thus cutting fire losse!
by an early effective attack.

| Patent Office Starts
Return Of Divisions
To D. e.. on Monday

The Patent Office announced to-
day that starting Monday it will
begin the return of its 36 divisions
in Richmond to temporary building
No. Z at the Washington National
Airport.
Eight divisions will be returned
here next week and the remaining
% units will be returned here start
ing the week of September z8, with
all divisions expected to be moved
from Richmond by October 10.
| The divisions have been in Rich
mond since 1912 when a large part
of the Patent Office staff was moved
there as war measure. Patent
Offlce officials has asked that the
units be returned here to enable
the agency to do its work more
efficiently, pointing out that the
Patent ONCE was handicapped in
its operation because of its scattered
divisions.
Eventually, Patent ONCE officials
expect that all the units will be
housed under one roof in the Com
merce Department Building. Al
though officials concede that the
return of the SO divisions to the
airport building will greatly aid the
Patent Office's work, they stress that
full efficiency cannot be attained
until all the units are in the Com
merce Department Building.
Secretary Wallace has promised
that as soon as space conditions
permit, the units will be housed in
