And Stored Up
Trash Before 18th

Burn all dry brush and stored
up trash before September 10.
That is the sage advice offered
by the Department of State For
ests and Parks.
Beginning September Is and
continuing through December 10,
forest fires are more likely to &C.
cur than any other time since last
May. During this period, the fall
fire season, a State Forest Law
regulating time and extent of burn
ing will be in effect.
This debris and brush burning
law, known as Regulation w, re-
stricts all burning conducted with
in 200 feet of woodland, to the
hours between 4 P. M. and IL Mid
night, E. S. T. The only exception
to this rule is when the ground is
covered with snow.
The law also stipulates that, at
any time of the year, a strip ten
feet wide must be cleared around
the area to be burned; there must
be enough men and tools on hand
to control the fire; and the fire
must be watched until the last
spark is out. Uncontrolled burning
of debris is prohibited at all times.
