ChiIIum Heights Unit
Urqes Commissioners
Plan on Truman

A telegram recommending adop-
tion of the Commissioners reor-
ganization plan for the District
government was sent to President
Truman last night by the Chillum
Heights Citizens Association.
The association agreed unani-
mously that the plan offered by
the Budget Bureau "does not stand
up under close scrutiny" and
would not be as workable"
The group also favored resto-
ration of the original $12 million
Federal payment as the Govern
ment's share in the expenses of
the District government. The
House-passed amount of $50 mil
lion was scored by the citizens as
only Clip service"
The association also approved a
three-page resolution which would
make it unlawful for any one to
sell. discharge. carry, or offer for
sale ammunition for air rifles, air
pistols, or any other dangerous
weapons" in the District.
Present laws do not prohibit the
sale of air rifles. The proposed
Legislation would require written
permission of the superintendent
of police to own such weapons.
The group tackled on rider that
would make parents and guardians
responsible for damage caused to
persons or their property by
minors.
The resolution will be sent to
the Federation Of Citizens Asso-
citation and to the Commissioners.
Renah Camalier, nominated by
the President to replace retiring
Commissioner John Russell Young,
received vote of confidence from
! the group.

service which functions more as a
co-ordinating and educational or
ganization than anything else. It's
membership is composed of repre-
sentatives of state and federal agen-
cies concerned with rural fire con-
troll as well as representatives of the
organized rural fire control districts
in the state.
At the annual meetings of the
MRFFS new techniques and equip
ment for suppressing rural fires are
presented, districts bring up their
problems for discussion, and CO.
operative efforts between the agen-
cies and districts are strengthened.
At other times during the year the
MRFF'S assists in conducting train
ing schools for the volunteer fire
fighters and promotes educational
work in fire prevention.
Heading UP the MRFFS as chair
man is R. B. Tootell, director of the

and George w. Gustafson of the ex-
tension service is state co-ordinator.

Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-10-01

THE DAYS of bucket brigades for
fighting country fires are fast dis
appearing in Montana as more and
more rural areas organize to pro-
tect themselves by means of trained
volunteer personnel and modern fire
fighting equipment
Ten years ago the control of rural
fires on an organized basis was just
beginning in Montana, with the ex-
ception of the Forest Service, Indian
service and other agencies which
have long had fire protection plans
to meet their own special needs. But
insofar as organized efforts by farm
ers and ranchers to protect crop and
range lands and farm buildings from
fire are concerned, 1912 was the
starting point. At that time Montana
Joined in nationwide fire protec-
ton movement to guard against
losses of food and fiber needed in
the wartime effort.
Counties Appropriate Funds
In 1945 the movement received
new impetus in Montana when the
state legislature passed the rural fire
control law which, among other
things, makes it possible for coun-
ties to appropriate money for the
purchase of fire. fighting equipment
and to organize fire control districts.
Today there is some type of vol
unteer fire control organization in
each Of Montana's 56 counties. In II
counties there are As fire control
districts functioning under the state
law Others raise funds for trucks
and other equipment through COM
munity- wide activities and contribu-
tions from individuals and organiza-
tions.
Some counties Of course are more
highly organized than others and
the set-up varies according to needs
and the personnel and funds avail
able. For example, Ravali county
has six districts with a truck for
each district, and Madison county
likewise has six districts and six
trucks. In other instances a district
will include the entire county with
one or two trucks available. But re-
gardless of how the county is organ
lied, the muscles and sinews of the
organization are the farmers, ranch,
ers and townspeople who make ur
the volunteer fire fighting forces.

fire.
Program in Every County
For example, in his annual report
for 1851 Gustafson, points out that
the provisions of the county fire con-
troll law were used to a greater ex-
tent than ever before and every
county reported on some activity to
improve the overall fire control pro-
gram. Also during 1851. he reports,
counties appropriated $39, ,569 for fire
control, the largest amount they ever
appropriated for this purpose in any
one year.
With this money counties pur-
chased fire fighting tools and equip
ment which included % fire trucks,
IL trailers with water tanks and an
undetermined number of small hand
tools. Thirty counties declared closed
fire seasons as provided for under
state law, and this provision alone,
Gustafson believes, is one of the most
effective tools for fire prevention. In
addition, 81 counties held training
schools and demonstrations to better
prepare volunteer fire fighters for
their jobs.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1952-10-01
Rural Montana Mobilizes Against Fire

fire trucks, an average of nearly two
per county, available for use in the
suppression of rural fires There are
also some so trailer tanks and pumps
available for use.
Not all of these trucks and trailer
units are owned by counties or in
dividual districts since a number are
owned by such agencies as the forest
service, Indian service, Soil Conser-
walton service, Bureau of Land Man
agement. U. S. Fish and Wildlife
service and other agencies that CO.
operate closely in the rural fire con-
troll program.
Districts also have large quantity
of hand tools of various types includ-
ing back-pack pumps, swatters and
shoyels for fighting grass fires. These
tools are usually kept in caches at
strategic locations in the district
where they will be ready for imme-
diate use.
And in at least one instance a dis
trict has the use of two-way radio
communication between trucks at
the fire scene and the fire station in
the community.
Still Much TO Be Done
Not to be overlooked in this state
wide effort to protect crops, grass and
farm building from fire are the eff
forts that individual farmers and
ranchers are making to protect their
own property. Extinguishers placed
at handy locations in farm homes
and buildings are common sight as
are barreI-bucket installations. Pres
sure water systems on farms and
ranches have provided another effec-
tive tool for fire fighting and on
many farms fire fighting tools are
kept together in one place ready for
instant use.
But much as Montana has pro-
gressed in the past decade in the
prevention and control of rural fires,
Gustafson is quick to emphasize that
the job is still far from completed.
Montana's 1851 rural fire losses
amounting to more than $1,5OO,0OO
to say nothing Of the tragic loss Of
16 lives, he points out, are grim re-
minders that much remains to be
done.
More rural fire fighting organiza-
tions, more trained volunteers, more
equipment and-above all-wider
adoption Of fire prevention measures
on the part of both rural and urban
people are necessary to further re-
duce fire losses.

RADIO STATION PLUGS ART

NEW YORK - (P) - The arts

to be sold to the radio audience as
if they were soap chips, beer or

New York City's independent sta

little musical jingles plugging long

iazzy jingle starts: Maybe Mr..

that people laughed at Rembrandt
when his style was new and fol-

when you look at modern art,
don't laugh with conservation.
Just look awhile and maybe
you'll smile a smile filled with ad-
miration."
The singing jingle plugging a
nOn-cOmmercial product is the idea
of Berenice Judis, manager of the
station. The station picked up a
handful Of awards a few years back
with singing commercials on tOler-
