FIREBUGS , A firebug is somebody who sets a fire: he mav set it nn purpose, which is a serious of fense under the law, or he may set it accidentally. When that fire is a forest fire, just think of the suffering for untold thou sands of animals! Just think of their terror, anquish and pain. ine racmc Northwest suffers from many forest fires each year with the destruction of millions of acres of forest land. Many fires are caused by care less smokers. Other causes are lightning, campfires, and indus trial operations. Besides the for est loss, the fires bring other tragedies; the devastation of park and camping areas, the total destruction of animal and fish life, and often the loss of homes and human life as well. This is what one expert has to say about it: "During one fire, men worked day and night to Keep the roaring flames un der control. Whole communities were threatened, and wild ani mals forgot their basic fears. Wolves and deer fled side by side; rabbits, their fur ablaze, plunged into lakes; chipmunks and squirrels tried to escape by burrowing underground. Par tridges, the most faithful of all fowl, burned to a crisp while they stayed on their eggs." So, at all costs, avoid forest fires. Here are some simple rules to remember hy travelers in our forests anywhere: Never start a camp-fire un less you have to. Choose a spot carefully, on a flat rock or gravel, and near water. Never smoke when on the move. Use a lighter instead of matches. Never leave a fire un attended. Be positive your fire is com' pletely out. The co-operation of everv citi zen is needed to win the forest- fire battle. Children and their pels the dog and the cat are tied in bonds of affection deeper and stronger than uithinking people understand. To the child his pet is a friend and companion. Angelo Patri MEDFORD Street Extension First Stage in Development The Siskiyou blvd. extension from 10th st. to Willamette St., which was opened to traffic Wednesday, is the first stage in development of a "boulevard type street," Medford Public Works Director Vernon Thorpe announced Friday.

At Medford OREGON Tuttle Discusses Valley Pear Crop At There are more than 10,000 acres of land in Jackson county producing pears, Shelby Tuttle, executive vice president of the Fruit Growers League, reported to members of the Southern Ore gon Advertising club at a recent meeting. Thirty per cent of the winter pears produced nationally are grown in Jackson county. There are 12 major shippers in the area and 15 packing houses in the Medford district, Tuttle said.
