Dover Merchants
Opposed To Meters
continued from 1rst paeel

AS a result of that proposal Dow
er City Council authorized the ap-
pOintment of a committee to in
vestigate the matter and make a
report at a later meeting.
During the past week inter-
views were held with a number of
Dover merchants and other bust
nessmen and the large majority of
them were OutspOken in their Op-
position to the proposal.
Some pointed out that the park
ing lots were created for the con-
venience of the public and that
with meters in operation there,
those persons using the parking
lots would be inclined to discOn-
tinue that use.
1t was also pointed out by some
merchants and businessmen that
during the controversy over the
proposed sale of the parking lot
east of Dover city hall last year,
one of the reasons given for the
litigation was that the lot was
needed for the free use of persons
desiring to park there.
In addition to the lot east of city
hall, Dover operate parking lot
west of the State Museum, along
North Street, New Street and Bank
Lane, under an arrangement with
the museum authorities who con-
troll the land which is now owned
by the state.

Record Forest Fires
Laid To Carelessness
continued from first page)


with most of the biazes caused by
carelessness.
Contributing factors have been
unreasonable dryness, high tenn
peratures and winds.
But the major reason, department
fOresters asserted, has been the dis
regard of simple precautions
against the spreading of fires be-
gun merely as field or brush burn
ings.
The fires have been reported by
forest wardens chiefly in Kent and
Sussex Counties.
Fires of brush and other debris
have been started and then gotten
out of control, the report showed,
with those handling the fires for
getting to set up safeguards against
the spreading of the blaze.
Precautions ReciTCulatpd
State Forestry Department Off
cials repeated the precautions
which are being recirculated in
pamphlet form to all rural mail
boxes this week.
They reminded land owners to do
their brush burning after 4 o'clock
in the afternoon, rather than earl
Ter in the day when winds are high
er, to avoid any burning when
winds are strong. 10 cut safety
strips in the ground by turning up
earth around the area to be burned.
and to be positive that all fires are
out before leaving them.
The national emergency calls for
greater care by all land and forest
owners. the department said. Con.
tinued loss of valuable trees and
the scOrching of land will be ex-
pensive, it declared. urging all pro-
perty owners to safeguard their
own possessions and the natural re-
sources by eXerting more care.
The estry Departments
pamphlet on how. when. and
where to burn underground and
brush, gives easy instructions on
the subject and is available from
the departments offices in Dover.

COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE
FROM THE BIBLE by Walter L.
Moore, editor. Prentice-Rsll, New
York. $2.75. A book of devotional
worth which follows the usual pat
tern. Each page contains a verse
Of Scripture, brief meditation, and
a prayer. / note more than the ay-
erage amount Of illustrative ma
terlal, and conscious effort to
speaker to modern conditions. The
meditatiOns, for the most part, are
too brief. The book is cheerful and
assuring, but never escapism from
hard facts. "The simplest activities
of like require some faith" "Praver
is the antidOte for worry" IF our
arms are not long enough to en-
brace the globe they are too short. :"
Great living is heavy burdens.
rough roads, steel hills, with eouip-
ment and strength to conquer
them" So are there many lines for
quotable use.
THE CHRIST OF ALL NATIONS
by Paul Guinness. Association
Press, New York. S2.75. The events
OF the Four Gospels woven into one
dramatic story. The book has al
ready had wide foreign circulation.
The author did his work in a pris-
oner of war camp with only Tes-
lament and torn bits of paper at
hand. The free translation is based
on the authorized version. Includ-
ed is a synopsis helpful for Bible
study. In view Of its setting and
the authors commitment the book
is another fine contribution to a
reading of the life of Jesus. It's
departure from familiar form is
reverently and effectively done.
