An extremely low humidity reading
of 10 per cent at 5 p. m. yesterday
caused H. C. 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.
Eight Cases Smallpox
Reported Past Week
