AND WHAT MAKES IT POSITIVE JS THAI IT'S JUST ABOUT TIME FOR THE BIG POOLS TO BE ACTIVE AGAIN TWO AND TWO MAKES R3UR ALWAYS EXTENS1VE EXIT Danger of This Particular Season Stressed in Statement from County Assn. A special campaign for the prevention of forest fires is planned by the Blair County Game, Fish and Forestry association some time in the near future, it was announced yesterday by J.

H. Winters of the assooia-' tion's publicity committee. During the campaign an extensive and costly exhibit, prepared by the Forestry commission of the United States Department of Agriculture, will be placed in the window of the Fenn Central building. It is the plea of the association that the. people of Blair county cooperate in the campaign by helping to reduce carelessness in the forested areas of the county.

Especially at this time of th year should care be taken, due to the heavy fall of leaves in the forests, making a highly inflammable carpet, the sportsmen point out. Issue Statement Following is a statement prepared by the association: "Forests are wealth. Trees are a crop from the soil. A forest is not necessarily gone when cut, but may be re-grown, one growth of trees following another perpetually. "Timber is one of our' most valuable assets, much too valuable to be wantonly destroyed by fire.

The soil over areas wasted by lire is often lacking in the elements which permit re-growth. Thus fertilizer worth sometimes as much as $25 an acre is destroyed along with timber of much greater value. "The forest fire season is with us now and the greatest care should be taken in the woods to prevent forest tires." TEMPLE LUTHERAN CHURCH CHARTER MEMBER DIES Mrs. Adeline Cassidy. wife of John D.
