land all of the criticisms were

the purpose of a public meeting

Forest Fire
Hazard Lessons;
Still Critical

Maynard Stoddard, district
forest fire chief, reported this
morning monday that con
dltlons which cause a forest to
explode into burning inferno
have leSsened during the past
week. He added, however, that
the fire hazard was still high.
Stoddard said that there were
three forest fires in the ten
county district during the past
week. Forest fire fighting units
battled fires in Appomattox,
Mecklenburg, and Nottoway
counties. These were relatively
small fires, burning from one
tenth of an acre to one acre.
Commenting on the Governor S
ban on travel in the state 5
forests, Stoddard said I'VE had
no trouble at all with the people.
Everyone seemed very ANXIOUS
to help. Charcoal plants and
lumber mills even closed in or
der to lessen the possibility of
a fire. The Governor lifted his
ban on forest travel April 30.
When asked to comment Oh
the 4 pm. to midnight burning
law which expires Wednesday,
May Is, Stoddard said "Eve
though the law does expire this
week, the people will legally be
able to have fires at any time
they desire, We hope they will
be extremely cautious. In fact,
we hope they will continue to
observe the pm law until we
have a good soaking rain
Stoddard said that scattered
showers, green vegetation on the
forest floor. and a new growth
OF leaves on the trees have help
ed deter the rapid spread of
forest fires.
There has not been a goo d
soaking rain in the tcn-county
district in over north This
is not solely the fire wardcn's
headache Local farm lands are
as dry as the forests. Farmers
are praying the same prayer the
fire Wardcns have been saying.
There is one word on everyone 5

The United States Department
Of Agriculture reports that dry
weather has cut five per cent
from the prospective winter
wheat harvest ard raised danger
signals for some other crops,
particularly hay and pastures

The land lies between H g h

few remaining areas within the
corporate limits of Farmville
that has not been developed.
The property has 81 foot front

provide an area into which the
hospital can expand in tn Q
future, he said.
Large also pointed out that Inc
opening on High street is very
important as it could be used
to provide another entrance to
the hospital property. This would
mean that those going to the
hospital from the southern and
western portions Of town could
get to the hospital without hav-
ing to 60 to Butchers corner
and travelling on Highway Is.
Hospital officials pointed out
there are no immediate plans for
expansion of the physical plart

would definitely fit into the long
