By CHARLES V. STANTON Do you have a match ? Please take it out of your pocket and look at it carefully. It's a handy little gadget, isn't it? Many centuries ago our ancestors didn't have matches, Fire was carefully guarded and live coals were carried from place to place to kindle new fires. One of the early methods of producing fire was through the laborious friction process a plaything for present day Boy Scouts. Later someone discovered that striking a flint rock with a piece of steel would produce sparks, and that these sparks would ignite tinder. Now we've revived that ancient pro cess and utilize it in modern cigaret lighters. Many old-timers can remember the early-day sulphur match a tight block of tiny matches that gave off little flame and tremendous smell. ' The science of making matches has made much advance ment until today we have matches in handy little cardboard folders, safety matches of various types, the dependable two-tone wooden match and various others. Matches are kindly little things to bring light and warmth into our lives unless we use them to hunt gas leaks, or look into automobile fuel tanks. But that friendly little match you hold in your hand also can be your worst enemy. Maybe you've learned the hard way that it pays to obey instructions and close the cover of your book matches before striking. Many an infected or bandaged hand attests to failure to heed signs of warning. Thousands of people die needlessly every year because someone displays carelessness with matches. Property losses from this same cause total millions upon millions of dollars. Properly used that match you hold in your hand can be an effective and efficient servant. Handled carelessly it can be a murderer and destroyer, bringing death, injury and disaster. Have you ever seen a forest fire? Have you seen fire race up a beautiful fir tree, sending a ball of flame hundreds of feet into the air; leaping from tree to tree as it traveled with the speed of a race horse? Have you seen the waste and desolation in the wake of a forest fire the hideous snags, the tangle of down trees, the burned carcasses of birds and deer and tiny animals? Have you seen a once beautiful expanse of virgin beauty transformed into an ugly, eroded waste? Have you seen ashes washed into a stream to destroy its abundant fish life? If you have seen these things, take another look at that match in your hand the little ball of chemical materials that compose its head for there in that tiny little ball you see the evil 'genie of destruction that can, and will, bring about, again and again, needless forest fires, because of carelessness. We are in that period of year when that match at which you are looking becomes most dangerous. Warm sunshine, low humidity and a mild breeze combine to transform a forest, which may have been rain-drenched only a few hours before, into a veritable tinder box. Few people realize how quickly timber can be brought to hazardous condition by a combination of sun and wind. You carelessly toss out a match without being absolutely sure its fire has been extinguished, or you discard a burning cigaret butt, or you dump pipe dottel into ground litter and you perhaps start a forest fire a fire that may destroy resources worth millions of dollars, subtract from potential employment, business and industry, cost many thousands of dollars to control, perhaps take human life and assuredly kill off fish and game. Do you want that match you hold in your hand to be a power for good or evil? It's entirely up to you! Gmem&K - mamas itfm W FT WW f ml J J J If fete 441 . 1 ft .r-.-'Mff Km .JJ-.

C ommLsstoned In June, 1!M3, No one will mind, I am sure, if the Mending Basket says some thing about Father's Pay on a day that isn't the "third Sunday In June." You see, any old day Is Father's Day with me; when ever I think of Pad! So it comes often. For I had (with the ex ception of the father of the one now reading this) the very best father a girl ever had! As I rolled the sheet Into the typewriter I remembered the first (I think) manuscript I ever sent off to a magazine. It was titled: "My Father Never Says 'Don't'." I had a new typewriter with a purple ribbon, which Is proof enough that I knew very little about such things, Isn't It? I pecked out my thoughts on the subject of how well my father served for more than 32 months In the European Theater of Op erations. Recently he participated In MATS' first anniversary, which marked a year of sched uled air transport for all depart ments of the National Military Establishment. In addition. MATS aircraft, personnel and j lhe beloved John Siddall. He en- cwiMiHiiirm mtvih's weiv maun had raised his daughter, and his secret for success. I think I com pared training daughters to train ing fillies! Since I liked very much The American Magazine (still do) I aimed the manuscript at Its edi tor, John Siddall. Now I knew a manuscript ought to be "attrac tive." I recalled how well my senior theme had looked with its paper cover In whiclir I had framed a colored picture of Thomas Carlyle, the subject of my Intensely earnest essay. What more natural than to un frame a picture of the subject of this piece of writing, and so. id It along to illustrate the article? As a further thought on making the thing even more attractive, I tied it with bright red satin ribbon, bow and all. (In my early days when a re jection used to send me Into the cellar of despair and what was worse, humiliation, that red rib bon memory used to torture me. Now It's good for a laugh any time I think of it!) Well, the manuscript returned. But with It came a letter from Glendale-Azaleo School Election Slated Today The Glendale-Azalea area, com prising School District 77, will hold its annual school meeting at 8 p. m. today. First item of business is the election of a rural school board member from Zone A. F. L. Kummer, Riddle, has been nominated to the post on the County Board. A new direc tor for District 77 is to be elected lor three years. The vacancy to be filled is that of Joe Paine, who finished out the unexpired term of a member who died during the last year. Another item of business is discussion of the budget for the fiscal year, start ing July 1. The local tax levy is also to be voted on again. Actu ally this levy was voted on and passed in January, but legal tech nicalities require that It be voted over again, a-j not all of the re quired fund was Included In the county levy.

Weaver-Hayamaki Team Defeats Stojack, Pacer By CHUCK PLUMMER Buck Weaver, the Indiana Hoosier ace, and Sugi Hayamakl gained a two-out-of-three fall de cision over meanies Frank Sto jack and Lefty Pacer in a sur prise ending in the tag team match at the Armory Saturday night. In the 20 minute one-fall pre liminaries, Weaver and Stojack fought to a no-fall draw, and Pacer gained a fall over Haya maki. In the main event Stojack and Pacer won the first fall, but Weaver and Hayamakl came back to take the next two. After the teams had each gained a fall, Stojack maneu vered Weaver Into an airplane spin, and the fans thought the match was all over, but Haya makl reached over the ropes and tagged Weaver while he was spinning around, and as Stojack was trying to pin Weaver, Haya makl grabbed the ex-champion's head and put him to sleep for the final fall. Stojack put up some argument about the tag, but Referee Elton Owen and fans agreed that it was legiti mate. The meanies took the first fall, when Stojack caught Weaver i In a flying Dutchman and then i turned him over and applied j a Boston crab, to make Weaver , say "uncle." Weaver, In the second fall, really went to work on Pacer. He fairly wiped up the ring with h!m and won the fall in seven minutes with shoulder butts and a body press. In the first preliminary Sto jack and Weaver fought the full time limit for a draw. Through out the last five minutes of the match, Weaver claimed that Sto jack was choking him and so did the fans, but they could not convince Referee Owen, who . claimed Stojack's headloeks were I strictly legitimate, and the final j minutes of the match went on In an argument. 1 In the second preliminary j match, Pacer continuously work-1 ed on Hayamaki's stomach, with body scissors, rabbit punches and , outright slugs, and Referee Ow en tried to award the fall to I Hayamakl three times, but the Oriental would not accept and ' finally lost the fall when Pacer : knocked the wind out of him I with a punch to the solar plexus and applied a Boston crab. 4 Ballets Dated Here By Troupe Of Monica Lind Monica Lind, formerly a lead ing ballerina for the great Leonlde Massine and Broadwav musical comedy, is bringing her company of dancers to Roseburg Wednesday, June 22, at 8 p. m.
