This is particularly true for two reasons: (I") The scarcity of manpower to help suppress forest fires, and (2) the fact that ma areas now have a heavy layer of lit ter because flree have been kept out of them for several years. The Kershaw County RVirest Pro tective Association looks to volunteers for its major assistance in the sup pression of fires, because as can be readily understood, it takes many men to cojer the whole county. Last year, for instance, some 900 volunteers as sisted on the 180 fires. Consequently, much credit is due these volunteers for the-reduction in fire losses In the County. Elveryone should be a "Vol unteer’’ in fire suppression. Farmers can render a great service not only to themselves but to the County by being careful with fire, particularly while burning the brush, ditchbanks or old fields; and towns people can help likewise by putting out their cigarettes before throwing them out car windows. Ranger Smith reports that 32 fires w6re caused by careless brush burn ing last year whereas 106 fires were Douglas Barfield, president of the. ~ It J nviiti 1 ouiiuay wttB u u^oJ u»jr mi luv v v**- ^ron DeKalb chapter and William few reading or writing letters.
