Fire Fighters
Value Proven
A serious fire might have re

Oregon Green Guard, states Elude
McDonald, fire warden.
The fire broke out abput two
o’clock on Monday afternoon, Sep
tember 16 and the volunteers, con
sisting of six men and six boys
and girls, immediately went into
action. Mr. McDonald, his fire
fighters, and equipment arrived at
3:10 and found that the fire had
been headed off by the volunteer
crew. They then surrounded the
fire with trails and got it under
control. Oregon Green Guards
watched for several days to pre
vent it from spreading.
The volunteer fire fighting or
ganization is organized in various
communities of Columbia county
through joint cooperation of the
county agent, George Nelson and
the forestry department. This or
ganization has proved its value
in other instances as they did last
week at Goble. Mr. McDonald
praised highly the work done by
these volunteers which proves the
value of an organization of this
kind for the protection of homes
and property. These volunteers
are in a position to try to prevent
the spread of fires which might
become a real danger and calam
ity to sections of the cdunty under
