ORECON JUDGE WARNS PUBLIC ABOuT F HE OFFENSES Justice of the Peace Joe Ma honey served notice Thursday that there will be no leniency in his court In cases involving carelessness with fire. The Judge slapped a $50 fine on Howard Lloyd Taylor, wood cutter, charged with permitting a fire to spread. He suspended the fine and placed Taylor on six months' probation, but said: "The only reason I am sus pending this fine is the strait ened circumstances of the de fendant. If he commits another offense he will have to pay the fine or go to Jail." Judge Mahoney after the hearing declared he is fully cognizant of the serious hazard that exists in this area this fire season, and Its threat to the wel fare of labor, agriculture and industry. "I feel that this situation re quires the greatest vigilance of law enforcement officers and of the public." said Justice Ma . honey. "Punishment in court should be in keeping with the seriousness of the offense at a time when fire is most inimical to the welfare of our commun ity and our country. "For these reasons, I am warn ing the public right now that fire law violators brought into my court can expect no leniency." Kliiiiiiillikiildirkoliiiiiii KLUB NEWS Hello Klub members!
