Th. OSEGOH : STATESMAN. Sal.m. Oregon, Friday Morning. Jun. II. 1S3 PACE CIVEJ forest Fire ToUIsffigli, Report Shows Forest fires' last year burned over a total of 31,854,124 acres of United States woodlands, com pared with 26,404,385 acres In 1941, the department of agricul ture said today. The total number of fires in the first war year was '208,218, an increase of 8,516 over 1941. These fires destroyed forest re . j sources of: critical importance in ' the war drive, and the diversion - of men to fire-fighting : neces "aitated by outbreaks constituted 'a serious drain on manpower that 'could - otherwise be .utilized on war production, the forest service pointe out."" ' Y" f' Of the 31 million acres burned Jn 1942, ; ninety p recent was in eleven southern states. Acreage loss by regions was eastern states, 1.362,894; sou th ern, 23,531,119; north central, 1,123,421; Rocky - Mountain, 263,221 ; and Pacific .573,469. ... , - A sharp rise in the number of . incendiary forest fires : oc cured i during the year. Nearly one-third of the forest fires reported on pro tected lands were of incendiary origin 12 percent more than the numoer oi.incencuary um our-t In th nrw-pHin? vpar. A larffe I percentage of the incendiary fires result from traditional but mis guided woodsburning practices in the south. The number of fires for which smokers were respon sible ranked second only to those of an incendiary ; nature. Care less brush and debris burning was third in importance as a cause of forest fires. More than 136 million acres, of forest land still t lack organized protection against forest fires,- the forest service reported. This is approximately one-fourth of the total area classed as needing pro tection. Eighty-six percent of the total acreage burned last year was on this unprotected area.

New Owner Tire Check Ruling Set Rules under which the pur- chaser of a used car may qualify for a gasoline ration to operate it, even though he is unable io get a tire inspection record from the previous owner, were announced today by the district OPA, effec-f tive June 21. -'.. In the past, the new owner was required to turn in existing in spection record when applying to a local " war price- and rationing board for a gasoline ration. i Under the new procedure, if the buyer is unable to present - the tire inspection record, he must satisfy the local board either that: 1. No tire inspection record ever was issued lor the vehicle or 2. The buyer has been unable to get the record from the pre vious owner . after diligent at tempt When either condition is met, the ; board may issue the appro priate gasoline ration and a new - inspection record for the car. The tie-in of the inspection rec ord with the issuance of gasoline rations gives the board an oppor tunity to examine the record, and take appropriate action u case tires have been improperly mounted on the vehicle., - Police Solye Gity Thefts, Hold Youths r A series of . burglaries and i number of other thefts from Sa lem streets in recent weeks was solved Thursday as outgrowth 6f one juvenile arrest, city police revealed. ?

'Home Rule' For Farmers Is Praised Decisions for Oregon farmers should be made in Oregon rather than by the alphabetical agencies of Washington, so that America's first individualist who produces individually may be preserved, Ervin I Peterson, director of the state department of agriculture, declared at the Thursday luncheon meetiag of the Lions club held in the Mirror room of the -Marion hotel. :;! : -YjiY- ' Although ceaWalized farm con trol from Washington is necessary o an; extent, Peterson admitted. farmers would be' better served by local; agencies of Oregon m&k ing ' decisions in the field for the individual ; producer's needs. , Peterson predicted tighter ra tipning in the future and. said that even with the bumper , crops of 1942, which in normal times might have supplied 2J) ,. million more people than there are in this coun try, rationing was necessary. In 1943 crops are below par and there is even more food needed for lend lease, ' the armed forces and post-peace stock piles to feed starving Europe. ; : ':.
