Conservation of Coal Is Urged by Official The conservation of anthracite bv consumers is urged by Leon Walker, solid fuels administrator for Delaware. In view of the present coal supply outlook it will be necessary for all users not only to avoid waste of their allowable tonnage, but to supplement it by alternative fuels. Mr. Walker said. "WhUe it is hoped that the present rate cf production will continue uninterrupted for the remainder of the coal year, it is not expected that the annual tonnage will meet the estimated requirements," he said.

"Coal users should place their orders for the needed supply for the current season immediately with the same dealers who furnished their fuel for the last two years," Mr. Walker advised. "Persons who have moved into their place of residence since April 1, or those whose former dealer has gone out of business, should file their consumer declaration and make application for their coal requirements with any dealer who will accept the order or refer the application to the Community Committee on Emergency Distribution set up by the Solid Fuels Administration," Mr. Walker pointed out. "Many consumers believe they are entitled to receive seven-eighths of their fuel supply in the form of anthracite and are refusing at this time to accept a proportion of alternative fuels.

Since seven-eighths is the maximum proportion of anthracite or eastern coke allowed, everyone most elect to accept at least one-eighth of his total annual requirements in alternative fuel, or reduce his requirements to the amount of anthracite and eastern coke that is available," Mr. Walker added. ISew Health Director Named for Walnut 'Y' Miss Jaunita Higgins has begun her duties as health education director of the Walnut Street Y. W. C.

Sub-Surface Fire Fells Tree One picture shows a tree that has fallen after a sub-surface turf fira burned away its roots in the "Jay Patch" woods blaze southeast of Frankford.

He explained: "During periods of prolonged drought or under conditions where the mineral soil is overlaid with a layer of peat, duff, or other organnia material, this material is ignited by the surface fire and will continuo to burn in a manner not unlike the way a cigarette or other form of tobacco burns; that is, with considerable smoke, much heat, but ni flame, until the fire encounters sufficient moisture in the peat to render this fuel non-inflammable; until all the peat or other inflammable material in reach of the fire has been consumed, or until a break, or separation, over or across which th9 fire cannot pass, is made." Burns Like Coal Vein During periods of drought or under conditions when the forest floor is composed of a deep accumulation of partially decomposed vegetation, called turf or, more properly, peat, he said, a forest fire will sneak down below the surface after the outer flames have been extinguished, and gnaw its way through the mass of roots of trees, much as coal veins frequently burn and smoulder. In time it will break through the floor of the timberland, once more to wage with greater 'ease its battle against the forest. The forester cautioned particular- ly against dropping a lighted match or lighted cigarette or cigar butt in a woods or while driving along woodland, calling attention to the present serious manpower shortage for fire fighting. The consequences are too costly and raging timber fires risk lives, he stressed. He also stressed that when a forest fire 5 3 pronounced under control, it means only that the surface flames have been extinguished and a "fire break" has been dug to prevent encroachment on adjoining lands by the fire.
