Park Fire Season Ends Month Early; Damage is Nominal The fire season at Crater Lake ended on October 15, nearly a month later than usual. The thunder and lightning storms that have been noticeable in the valley region also were- experi enced in Crater Lake National Park. However, there were no lightning strikes or fires started from the recent storms. During the season, there were a total of 13 fires In the park, which were handled by the small staff of seasonal rangers and fire guards. This compares with seven the previous year, although from 12 to 15 is about the average number of fires that Crater Lake experiences each season. None of the 13 fires of the past season were man caused all were from lightning. They were promptly extinguished and'the damage done was nom inal. One heavy electric storm In July brought such a deluge of rain that the rim road and the entrance road were severely damaged by erosion. The cost of repair Is estimated to be ap proximately $5,000.

COnOlCTOTlG IS Warning that the domestic situation on cotton is getting "tighter" and that the outlook for greater supplies for home use will probably not be bright er for many months, the Port land district office of OPA urges housewives to conserve any cotton material or clothing now on hand. "The outlook for cotton for domestic use is slim for a year or two after Germany is defeat ed," OPA states, "because as the war moves into the Pacific more cotton will be required for basic military needs, whereas wool has been more heavily used in Europe. "Denims and cotton duck ma terials will continue to absorb much of the cotton which other wise would go into clothing for civilians."
