whole state was burning up.
jackson county, expecting the worst, was let off light
ly; relatively lightly, that is. But don't let that fool you.
Eighty-one woods fires cracked in the county during the
month, burning 225 acres OF salable pine timber.
In all 1858 acres of county land was burned over dur
Ing the month. Young growths of pine were destroyed on
7se acres. and 504 of the acres burned were grassland. The
largest fire. on loss acres. happened four miles north of
Escatawpa when a tended grass blaze jumped a fire lane
and set off through a timber growth.
Jackson county has been fortunate in having an eff
cient state forestry unit and, doubly so. in having the
educational programs sponsored by such folks as the Inter-
national Paper Company and the Dantzler Lumber Com
pany. THE people are more fire conscious in Jackson
county" says Tom Dantzler, head of Internationals pro-
curement division here, due to a program started years
ago by P. N. Howell Howell, known as the father of
forestry" along the coast, is consultant landsman for the
Dantzler interests.
The International forestry division, which is under
Louis Dantzler in jackson county, maintains short wave
radio contact with the state forest service unit and its
men are on a 24-hour alert. It's equipment is available to
help anywhere in an emergency. The various foresters,
state and industrial, hold u mutual respect for each other.
To repeat; we have been fortunate in that Jackson
countians are well protected and have had the benefit Of
years of education on the proper care and feeding of fires.
Yet. look at the record. OF the 81 fires last month. two
were caused by railroads. one by a campfire. four by debris
burning and ~ by INCENDIARISM. That last includes
the deliberate setting OF fires by ignoramuses and other
irresponsibles who think only of the supposed good they
do tgreening up the grass" running out the snakes"l and
give no thought to the damage that may result. There are

We have come a long way, for sure. But we still have

JEWS A DAMASCUS

Damascus - CAP) = The small
Jewish population remaining in
ancient Damascus is shrinking
steadily because jewish families
are leaving Syria in a search for
greater security. One Arabic
newspaper, "Al Ayyam", esti-
mates that about one hundred
Jewish families left the city in
the last three months. "Al Ay-
yam" said they went to Israel,
smuggling their movable property
and money with them. Informed
sources say it is possible that some
of the Jews reached Israel, but
they believe most of them sought
refuge in Beirut, across the noun
tains in Lebanon, additionally a
Christian area in a Moslem world.
Jewish sources decline to dis
cuss the situation of the Jews in
Damascus or Syria for fear of dis
turbing the present delicate
status. However, it was learned
that more than 5000 Jews have
fled Damascus and Aleppo in
northern Syria since the Pales-
tine struggle approached a climax
in 1947. The 5000 figure is a con
sentative estimate. Reliable esti-
mates place the present Jewish
population of Damascus at 1000;
of Alleppo at 1000. Syrian Jews
have been concentrated in these
two cities for centuries.
