NOTED FLIER IS LISTED AS LOST NAVY VESSELS CEASE HUNT FOR AMELIA EARHART. aijwtery of F«t« of Famous Aviatrix and Her Navigator Lies. Locked in Vast Pacific. Barnwell Woods Given Protection (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) Honolulu, July 19.—The mystery of Amelia Earhart, lay locked today in the silent, watery wastes of the vast Pacific. Four naval vessels and the 1,600 weary men who sought her and her navigator for 16 days gave them up for dead and sailed for home. More than 260,000 square miles of equatorial ocean, reefs and islands were scoured by ship and plane in an almost hopeless search for the tousle haired avitraix and her companion, Capt. Frederick J. Noonan, who drop ped from sight July 2nd. Somewhere near the dot which is Howland Island, Miss Earhart and Noonan dropped from the skies in their fuelless land plane on a 2,670- mile flight fron# Lae, New Giunea, to the mid-Pacific sandspit. The 39-year old woman flier, known the world over for her aviation ex ploits, was circling the earth ‘‘just for fun,” she said, but also to blaze possible new commercial routes. The great naval hunt, which began a few minutes dfter the pair were overdue at Howland, was called off late yesterday when navy authorities decided they had exhausted every pos sibility of ever finding the missing fliers. RESETTLEMENT PROJECT In addition to these talks, quite a bit of interest was aroused among the students by an essay contest which the forestry division sponsored The prizes were awarded the writers of the best essays v in the various school divisions in regard to the proper protection of Barnwell County woods. During the past year seven arrests and seven convictions were made a- gainst people who willfully and mali ciously set fire to woods. With the furtherance of prosecution along this line it is believed that the people who intentionally bum other people’s woodlands will think twice before acting. At the end of each fiscal year a barbecue was held for the rangers, wardens, crew members and their friends. The first such affair was held on June 12, 1936, at Fuller Park in Barnwell, and the second one was held at the Seven Pines School in Snelling, about the middle of June, this year. There were about a thous- joyed. The program included! speeches and persons present at each ’cue and quite an interesting program was en- oyed. The program included speeches by Barnwell County leaders speeches on fire portection byj district and State forestry authorities and an athletic program. The affair is rapid ly becoming a favorite outing for the workers and their friends and is doing much to promote the goodwill and co operation between the fighters and the public which is so necessary if this work is to prove entirely suc cessful. The improved organization is shown ASSURED FOR ALLENDALE by a comparison of the number of fires, the number of acres burned etc., of the two years.
