winter months. A few cases of mumps and one case

of scarlet fever have been reported.

There have been a few cases of pneumonia. Thisdisease is becoming much less prevalent than in the

past and the miortality rate much lower due to the

use of sulpha drugs.

The milk and water supplies have been very sat-

Forest Fire Warden's Report

As the tempo of America's war effort mounts, de-

mands upon its citizens for service become more num-erous and exacting. To some comes the call to arms;others to public service and still others to defense

industries and organizations. No one can possibly es-

cape if he would. All must bear a proportionate shareof the burden and the sacrifice. Strong first line fronts

on land, sea and in the air are needed and can bedeveloped and maintained only if there is unity of

purpose and common determination behind the homefront.

As men are drawn into service the burden of

carrying on rests more heavily upon those forced to

remain at home. Here, team work becomes increasingly

important because of constantly diminishing man-power. A general breakdown in essential local activ-

ities and law observance can only be prevented bywhole hearted cooperation between citizens and leaders.

There is no field of endeavor where cooperation

and compliance with law and regulation are more need-

ed than that of forest fire control. The most efi'ective

and economical effort in this field of activity is that of

prevention. The old adage ''an ounce of prevention"

being "worth a pound of cure" was never more aptly

applied than to forest fire control.

The forest fire warden is, by law, the designated

local leader in forest fire matters. He exercises his pre-

rogatives and discharges his duties as such under thedirection of the State Forester. There was never a

time when the warden needed each citizen's good will

and cooperation more than he does now. With man-power waning, fire prevention, through efficient prepar-

ation, care with fire and compliance with necessary

regulations become a vital duty of citizenship.

54

For years efforts have been made to improve theusual bad Spring and Fall fire record. It was not until

this year, however, that this problem was, to a greatextent solved when permit burning was more rigidly

restricted. Forest fire wardens were instructed notto issue permits except when it was raining and duringthe wet period immediately following rains. This planworked out so well it has been decided to make it theestablished policy governing legal burning.

Everyone is well acquainted with the several civ-

ilian defense groups. Many of our fellow townsmen areserving in one or other of them. It is only recently,

however, that the Office of Civilian Defense, recogniz-ing the threat forest fires are to our timber facilities

and resources and the possible disruption of war act-

ivities in critical areas, established the "Forest FireFighters Service." Its purpose is to provide fire fight-

ers equipped and trained, to strengthen the hand ofthe local forest fire warden; to acquaint the people in

the area with their responsibility in fire preventionand suppression and to provide an opportunity for peo-

ple in and near forested areas to participate in thewar effort. The State Forester is the State Coordinator

;

the District Fire Chiefs are District Coordinators andthe Warden is the Local Coordinator. The Forest Fire

Fighters Service personnel will be registered underthe direction of the Office of Civilian Defense; it will

be trained by the local warden and his assistants, aided

by the District Chief. Individual citizens are urged to

join this service group by applying to their local forest

fire warden. By becoming a part of this organization

locally, individuals can contribute their share towardthe protection of our forest resources which are so vi-

tal to the war job.

During this critical period it is more than everthe part of good and prudent citizenship to remember:

1. That permission to burn in or near woodlandor where fire may be communicated to woodland mustbe secured from the forest fire warden when the grou;nd

is not covered with snow.

Page 57: Officers Moderator L.D.RIPLEY TownClerk CHARLES0.STEVENS Selectmen C.W.JACKSON B.R.BRAINARD ELDONCORBETT TownTreasurer EARLP.WADSWORTH RoadAgents FREDH.GOULD D.M

2. To be careful when smoking in or near the woodsand not to throw lighted cigars, cigarettes or matchesfrom moving vehicles.

3. To notify your local warden promptly of anyfires you see.

4. That fire prevention is the best and cheapestfire insurance.

5. To be fire-minded; be careful; be cooperativeand thus help your warden prevent forest fires. Thisis patriotism at work.
