Tribes Battle With Spears

South Africa N Clad only in animal
skins, Africans of two natal tribes fought a battle with
spears in the mountainous Mapumulo reserve last week.
Five were killed. Many huts were burned down.
Police reinforcements were sent from Durham and
the situation was reported under control after several
hours.
The trouble was traced to an incident two weeks ago
when the body of an African was found at the foot of a
cliff outside his tribal area. His Chief suspected he had
been murdered.
A third tribe became involved in the dispute later, for
reasons still unexplained.

Spring No Fun to Woodland Fire Fighters

Maryland compared with 80 dur
ing the same period last year,
and 172 acres burned as COM
pared with so. April already has
brought another so fires to Mary
lands District II. with $50 acres
of timber alone destroyed.
In Fairfax, where there have
been some 500 calls to fight woods
and brush fires this year. IS wood
land ones have burned in the first
three months of 1850. and about
100 more since April l have burned
in the first three months of 1850.
Only SIS burned during all of last
year. The 16 Northern Virginia
counties Of the State Forestry
Departments District III have
suffered more than 100 fires and
nearly 800 acres burned this year.
Loudoun County alone has had
some $50 acres destroyed and
Prince William. nearly 10.
And these totals are only for
timberland. The grass and brush
fires that keep communities
alarmed and firemen busy increase
these figures four fold.
A dry winter and a windy spring
have set the stage, officials say.
They point out that 80 per cent
Of the fires are man-caused. Worst
areas include heavily populated
Fairfax and the triangle between
Washington, Baltimore and An
napoliS. So wardens send out this
warning during the March,
through-May spring fire season:
Watch your fire! Avoid windy
days and don't burn until after
4 pm. Late afternoon brings
lull in the wind and moisture rises
in the ground. See that there is
an adequate firebreak around the
area to be burned and have
enough help and equipment on
band to control the fire.
