Outdoor Fires
Hard To Control

Outdoor fires - the uncon:
trolled and dangerous kind
ale closely connected with both
the weather and people, says
County Agricultural Agent,
Charles D. Raper
And while you can't do
much about the weather, you
can do plenty about your own
habits to prevent field and 9TH
er outdoor fires" he points
out.
The danger of outdoor fires
varies with changes in rela-
tive humidity, fuel moisture
content, wind conditions. how
recently rain fell and other
factors. It's largely a matter of
common sense to judge when
these factors combine to pro-
duce dangerous conditions, and
when conditions are favorable
for safe burning, Mr.. Raper
says.
Here are some common
sense" good practices:
|. Before doing any outdoor
burning. check local regula-
tons and obtain permit if
required.
,. Pick widc-frce. dampiSh
day for trash or brush burn
ing
3. Pick spot well away
from buildings and clear a
Good-sned strip of earth "a
round the pile of trash Of
brush to be burned.
i. Have some fire fighting
equipment and adequate help
available.
>. Burn small amounts only

8. Keep brush and grass

Once again it's tree plant

throughout Holmes County
planting crews are at work
on the tremendous job of con-
verting more than 1000 acres

farms scattered throughout
the hill section of the county.
This marks the 18th year
since the planting Of trees to

county. Areas planted during
this period of time vary from

POPPY DAY is
SATURDAY, MAY 26

On Saturday, May 26, all of
US will be asked to wear a red
memorial poppy. AS most of
you certainly know, one each
year Americans observe Poppy
Day which is a voluntary trib-
ute to our dead and disabled
servicemen.
The poppies we will wear on
Poppy Day have an even great
er significance than the flowers
which bloomed on the battle
fields of Europe. These memo
rial poppies you will be offered
have been made in hospitals and
work shops where the suffer
ing of war still exists. The dis
abled veterans who make these
flowers are able to gain a dual
benefit from their work-the
poppy program gives. many
men their only opportunity to
support themselves and theil
families; and it offers them q
productive pastime with which
to combat long hours in the hos
pital wards.
Wearing this little red flow
er will help us rekindle the
spirit of patriotism and service
to country which is needed al
much now as in time of war
Understanding the character
and purpose of Poppy Day
Mrs. Pauline G. Mason, of the
Engelhard Unit of American
Legion Auxiliary, asks that the
appeal not be ignored. All of vi
will consider it a privilege t.
wear a poppy again this yeal
on Poppy Day.
