Obye, assistant super visor of Rogue River national forest, to warn visitors to forest area, of a serious fire hszard. Humidity readings have geen fall ing steadily for the past four days. Obye pointed out. with a consequent Increase in danger of forest fire. Yes terday's reading Is very unusual for the valley, particularly during June, weather officials state. Supervisor Obye reported that a few small slashing fires, started with official permits, had gotten out of control In the forest in the past two days but had been extinguished af ter forest service aid had been called In. It was pointed out that the fine covering of needles, bark, grass, etc.. on. the forest floor dries out almost as quickly as the elr and therefore becomes readily Inflammable. The condition Is especially scute In lower sections of the valley. Obye said. Keguiar heavy summer fire guard Is not scheduled to go Into the forest until the middle of next week, fol lowing a fire guard conference to be held here Monday, Tuesday and Wed nesday. Obye said. All guards will be greatly increased after the conference, ne aaaco. au visuors to forest areas were warned to be particularly careful of all possible sources of fire. Pitr weather was predicted for Sundav and Monday, .with temperatures ex pected to drop today. Saturday's maximum was B2 degrees and mini mum 52.
