Feb. 1. Samuel M. Fullerton, forester of the York Soil Conservation district, and a representative of the forestry department, spoke on "Woodland management" at the woodland improvement demon- -as oa afternoon at the Herman A. Hoke farm, located about a mile and a quarter north of the borough.

Mr. Fullerton stated that "woody vegetation serves as the best protection against loss of soil and water. Areas covered with trees, shrubs and vines improve the water holding capacity of the soil. The roots bind the soil, and the leaf -deposit upon the ground accumulates year after year, building up a thick layer of humus. The humus acts like a sponge in allowing the water the filter gradually into the soil, thereby preventing rapid runoff.

He cited a number of other values obtained from woodlands as fuel-wood, posts or lumber for building purposes. Mr. Zimmerman, wlld-iife man for the soil conservation service, spoke on the subject of "Wild-Life Management." Herman H. Sell, past president of the Spring Grove Sportsmen's club, spoke on the doings of the local sportsmen's club. Other comments were made by Melvin C.

To Decide Important Issue An important issue will be decided upon at the monthly meeting of the local borough council to be held Friday evening, this issue being to deride what action should be taken by the council in regards to the present borough fire engine house, which is believed to be unsafe for use for fire company meetings. It was pointed! out that at the last of the fire company, when there were approximately SO firemen in the council chamber, the floor sagged approximately one-half foot, causing many of the -firemen to be uneasy. Since the January meeting of the council, the main topic of discussion between firemen and council-men was the condition of the fire engine houe. which was built in 1908.

The council at the January meeting had passed a motion to investigate just what could be done to re-inforce the building rut nothing definitely has been decided upon as yet and in all probability will be done on Friday evening. Other objections to the present hall are that tne DuiiuinK is nui enough for housing the borough fire apparatus and equipment, without causing some congestion. Although It has not been definitely announced, it ha been rumored htat the council is contemplating the construction of a new building, all of which will be brought to light on Fridav evening. The council meetings and tire com-panv meltings are held on the second floor of the building and it is this floor, which has shown signs of weakening.
