Facts About Forest Fires

There are normally $1,000 to IA, 900
fires each year in areas covered by
national forests. And about $4,000
more occur in state and private for
est land. To keep fires in hand, the
federal government puts six million
dollars a year into personnel and
other safety measures, while an
other II million dollars is spent by
the states, counties and private own
ers for fire protection. Most critical
areas in the past have been the
thick underbrush foothills of the
Sierras in southern California, the
Douglas fir region Of the North
west, and in and around the white
pines of northern Idaho and western
Montana.

the vaccination of all natives at

DR.. Aronson will use Bacillus

So The Star, following the same

the surplus to camps which serve
needy children free of charge or
which accept children on camper

Of Justice T. Alan Goldsborough
week ago. He said the proposed pen

and Senator Bridges, Republican, OF
New Hampshire, the neutral trustee,
would not violate the Taft Hartley
Act. That was the chief objection OF
Ezra Van Horn, the operator trustee,
who had sued for an injunction
against the payments. =
The soft coal operators paved the
WY for the start of PAYMENTS by
accepting the decision without ap-
peal. In effect, that permits Senator
Bridges and Mr.. Lewis-with or
without Mr.. Van Horns consent-to
absorb obligations of the now
exhausted 1916 welfare fund. The
operators agreed In the new 1913
