Even though wet weather has been the general situation dur ing past weeks, only a few dry days will be required to bring about favorable fire conditions. Last year’s county record dur ing an extremely long, dry sea son was very good with only 20 fires reported and covering only 47.32 acres. To achieve that record again will require the observance by everyone of safe practices with fire. At the meeting Thursday. Glen Hawkins said the annual dinner and discussion of fire precaution ary measures would be held soon. He is the county KOG chairman. To this affair loggers, fire protec- i tive authorities and others in terested in safe fire practices are invited. A new feature this year, he said, may be the showing of a technicolor motion picture,“ The Enemy Is Fire.” The film shows how a forest fire starts, how loggers and fire fighters organize a plan of action and how they finally conquer the blaze and mop up spot fires ahead. Filmed in Oregon, it is the first picture ever screened of the entire action of a forest fire. Other parts of the county will be asked to participate in the Keep Green program to try for another summer season with at least as few fires as last year. zi FIVE YEARS AGO From The Eagle, April IS, 1948 Vernonia’s Red Cross campaign, which was completed a short time ago, reached 67 hr per cent of the quota or $1127.10.

Walt Nor- blad points out a request in the 1954 budget for funds for the continuing liquidation of the na tional recovery act as proof of the fact that it is easy enough to establish an agency of govern, ment, but almost impossible to get rid of it. He says: "Tnis act was passed about 20 years ago and dissolved by order of the U.S. supreme court in 1936, a very few years after the pro gram was started and yet we are still paying for it. On page 127 of the current thousand page budget we find continuing funds requested to liquidate this agen cy. "While the money requested for next year is trivial it is still a good lesson to us to exercise ex treme caution in establishing additional agencies or branches of our government. Establishing them is easy, but putting them out of business seems to be a lifetime matter.” To which we add a hearty Amen! People hear a remark, probably misunderstand it, change it when they tell someone else and a rumor is started.' There have been many to cross “The Desk,’’ most of them not worthy of the effort that would be required to disprove them. Usually they run the course of being retold many times and are forgotten, as they should be. However, there is one rumor and the answer to it that will interest parents of children who will reach kindergarten age by the start of the next school term. The rumor is that district 47 is considering the elimination of the kindergarten. That is not the case and we have the word of Darrold Proehl, speaking for the school. Applications are being considered now for a teacher who will instruct kindergarten next year in filling the vacancy which will arise with the retirement of Mrs. Lulah Fullerton. He is not ready yet to announce the selec tion of the teacher that will have the job. but that announcement , will be made within the next few | weeks. i Plump, tender, meaty Thoroughly cleaned—rea<|y for your frying pan.
