Urges Cooperation in Forest Protection Editor Caimltm Chronicle: A copy of the annual report of 1I19 South Carolina Com mission of Forestry covering the forest tire control work throughout the state during the past year has Just been received by me. Inasmuch us our local branch of the forest service, the Kershaw Couu ty Conservation commission, la a tax supported agency, 1 deem It fitting to call to the attention of the cltlcens of Kershaw county a few of the facts revealed by this report. The Kershaw couuty protective unit of the forest service is one of eighteen such organisations now functioning in the state. With the exceptiou of Oreenvlllo county in which conditions are very different, from those prevailing In fhe sandhill and coastal plain counties, Kershaw county, as usual, shows the best record in the state. During the last fiscal year woods fires burned over only eight-tenths of t per cent of the forest area of the county, or less than half the average percentage of loss In the protected ureas of the state. The total acreage burned by the two hundred two fires reported during the year was 2,194.5, or an avorage of 10 9 acres per fire. The average size of the fire in Kershaw county was right among the lowest reported in any of the districts. The forost flfe control work in Kershaw county cost the taxpayers $4,000 annually. The State Forestry commission calculates that a woods fire costs the landowner an average of $2.00 per acre which means that much wealth of our county goes up In smoke for every acre burned. This figure when considered in the light of the cost of the service to the taxpayers of Kershaw county reveals the amazing fact that if the record of Kershaw county were oi^ly as good as the average In this state the economic loss by our woods fires would exceed the entire cost of the service to the people of Kershaw county. When one considers that only a few years ago thirty or forty per cent of our woods were burned over every year it is easy to calculate that the economic saving brought about by the activities of the Kershaw County Conservation commissioii Is running into an annual figure of well over $100,000. 1 want to take this opportunity to congratulate Ranger W. C. Perry, his wardens, crew leaders and the members of the crews for their splendid record and to thank the people of Kershaw county for their cooperation with them, without whose cooperation such a splendid record could not have been attained. At the same time 1 want" to call attention to the fact that eternal vigilance is the price of forest fire proteotion and so the cooperation of the citizens of Kershaw county is ever needed. Very truly yours, Henry Savage, Jr., Chairman Kershaw County Conservation Commission. resolutions of respect to memory of dr. zemp The Leroy Belk Post of the American Legion at its last meeting adopted resolutions of respect to the memory of Dr. S. C. Zemp. The resolutions were signed by John Whltaker, Jr.. John K. deLoach and Julius E. Campbell as a committee: "Whereas.

The Town luda, usually- the butt of a lot of kidding on the part of the polo funs, showed thoy had doffed their swaddling garments and are to be reckoned with mighty seriously in all polo engagements the remainder of the season. The fans suw Country score first blood Sunday and sat back with the idea of listing a budget of Country counters. Hut Town came back to tie up the count and thou forged ahead, never to be caught during tho remainder of the pastime period. The game featured an unusual play, something never before witnessed on the Camden polo territory. Carl Lightfoot of Country, a hard riding slambang devil-may-care rider, was In the thick of a mallet slashing scrimmage in front of Country's goal posts. The fleet Indian was making a heroic effort to get the ball away from tho goal, when In some manner he hit it, knocking it Into the goals to score a point for Tpwn. A crowd, said to have been a recordbreaker, not only for this season, but for past polo history in -Camden, witnessed the final fracas of tho Devine series. Cars from Columbia, Charlotte, Hartsville, Darlington, Rock Hill and other Carolina points, Noith and South and from many of tho northern states, were In tho parking areas. Thousands of people lined tho fences or watched the game from their cars. Newspaper sport writers from Columbia, Charlotte and Rock Hill and a sportcaster from Station WIS were on hand to witness the game. Caskl9 Norvell, of WIS, who does a fine job of sport roundup stuff every evening at 6:55 o'clock came over to get some atmosphere, as WIS is seriously considering putting the Camden-Fort Bragg game on the air next Sunday, beginning at 3 o'clock. Town won the Devine cup final game and series because the team, made up of Burns, DuBoso, Floyd and Little, had an offensive brand of ball that fairly sizzled. They raced the ball down the field despite the stubborn defense of the Country group and were hot as fresh griddle cakes wl*en they aimed at the goal posts. The Country lads, usually adepts at caging counters, were baffled by an alert and hard riding Town foursome.
