PROTECTION SOUGHT FROM FOREST EIRES PRESIDENT DESIGNATES MAY 22-28 EIRE PREVENTION WEEK Secretary Wallace Issues Appeal to Entire Country to Assist in Stamping Out Evil (Special to Herald From Telegram Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, April 20. De- laring that "we have been thought lessly permitting the destruction of our forests by fire," and that it spells disaster unless the rate of burning ;s materially checked," Sec retary of Agriculture Wallace has just written the governors of all states asking their co-operation in the nation wide observance of forest protection week, May 22-28. The period was recently proclaim ed as forest protetion week by Presi dentHerding in response to the re quest of the forest service of the de partment of agriculture and the Sec retary in his letter urges the gover nors to set it apart for such educa tional and instructive exercises as shall bring before the people the se rious effects of the present unneces sary waste of forest fires." According to the data gathered by the forest service, forest fires dur ing the five years ending with 1920, devastated an area greater than the New England states, and caused a iuss greater than $85,000,000. Statistics show that human agen cies were resposible for appproxi mately 80 per cent of the 160,000 forest fires occuring during the five- J1 periou, ana that they could have been prevented by care and vigilance on the part of the peoplet. In addition to the growing timber and settlers homes destroyed, there " neavy joss of life. In the f-.r-m. iuuiiiHsoia tire of 1918, nearly 1000 people were either burned to death or suffocated. The forest protection week move ment originated on the Pacific Cont in J:2o. when it was proclaimed by a number of governors- in w.,, .. states an generally observed bv men- citizens. This year the importance of for est protection was bropght to the at tentiou of the secretary of agricul ure by the forest service, and he p ''" Rreseniea the matter president. to the Co-operation in the observance of the week is expected from the state lional elm r -r,,,-:"-, The seretary has written to the national presidents of the Kiwanis Rotary, American Automobile Asso ciation and other huge coinmercio clubs, Dry Scouts of Amerniea ami io the president general of the i;:uigii!ers ot in,.

Heppner has long ranked as a post office of the third class but because of .the increased business the office has been placed in the second class order to take effect July 1st. The honor, however, is an empty one, according to Postmaster Rich ardson who says that while the ad vance automatically raises the post master's salery $100.00 a year It al so automatically deprives him of the commissions he now enjoys on the sale of money orders, special delivery business etc. which amounts to more than the increase in salary. It also reduces the work day of all clerks to eight hours and in creases Iheir pay leaving the postmaster to finish the work alone after their : time is up. Further, and of more interest to the public, acording to Sir. Richardson, the change will ret-! uire the office to be closed ptrompt- ly at 7:00 P. M. whether the mail is distributed or not.
