Such is fine as it is: however.

know very little about Christmas.
They know nothing about the true
meaning of Christmas nor do they
know anything about the gifts that
kids normally receive. These kids
do realize that other children.

This action was resorted to only
when it became evident that hunt
ers and campers were responsible
for a great many of the forest fires
this fall.
There are going to be a lot Of
disappointed people up that way
if no rain comes before Thanks
giving and they don't get to hunt
but the measure seems to us to
be warranted. Here we are more
fortunate, but those hunters should
still consider the forest fire dang
er and do everything possible to
keep any fires from breaking out.
A little extra precaution this
Thanksgiving is required and if
fires do result from the hunting
season opening, the Governor
might declare our hunting season
closed too.
Hunters, as we'll as land owe
crs, should forever be wary of
forest fires. Not only do they dam
age woods and property, but fires
take tremendous toll of the wild
life which we like to hunt.
