ALLEN, JR SALEM, July 18 (UP) Notes ottcd down during a visit to the .Wilson river forest fire in Tilla nook county this week: .First Impressions: The sun is ilaeked out, lenviiiK only a dirty elkow light. Smoke bjuws icrosi tho road, sometimes limit- n visibility to 20 feet, and mak- ng you cough and struggle for walh. The car has to go from jne side to another of the road. Ml around the earth is scorched und black, and tall thin snugs rise out of the smoke and dust. A small blaze goes scooting .up a hillside in a few seconds. Everyone I see is dirty, tired and in need of a shave. The army veterans, who voluntiercd for the job, look beat out. Work Hard ? All here are serious about the job, and work together well. Log ging company men, federal and state forest service officers, army and navy men and high school boys all work hard and cooper ate fully. ; At headquarters: Negro troops, just in from the fire lines, eat chow out of their mess kits and lie around smoking. An air of ordered confusion at the radio shack, with messages from one point toa nother filling the air. Men sleeping on the bunks with out taking off their clothes. Located , Sleeping quarters are arranged 'for another 150 men, a guide is H3MAKES ?3 ' -"1 I ICE CREAM Lorn - Smo.lh -No t.--Easy Ha tct Cfviioli No cooking f hipping No tcorchod flavor lnBoni,v-20 mloii in each ls oVa.

One unit is transferred from a burned out area to a new danger spot. Methods: Primary job is to get the fire located and plotted on a map. Then organize the crews and send them to the danger aioas. When the men arrive, the job is to "trail" the blaze, or build a trail or fire break around it. When the fire break is com pleted, backfires are sot, going away from unbumed territory. Thousands of mattocks, axes and shovels are used in the work, but bulldozers arc the most valuable tools. The big cals can circle the blaze in a fraction of the time 50 men could. Many .men wear back packs of water with a hand pump attached. Some of these oatiol controlled areas where on the Salmonberry burn S5 or 40 miles of trail was built in less than a week. Dangers: Worst type of fire is the "crown" fire, which can 6weep through the tops of trees at more than 30 miles per hour. It is also the mast destructive type, because it kills growing timber. No one has been killed in this fire. Fulling snags, rough terrain, smoke and dust all incieuse the hazards.
