McCorkle is out to make Camden a real “apotleas town” so far as external appearances go. In addition to a nightly sweeping of all of the streets in the business district the msyoi; is now having a genuine Job of scouring with powdw and water done. As a result the pavements on Broad street from Lafayette through to the south side near the Coca Ck>la plant.

Last Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock the gutters and streets were free of dust and dirt but at 9 o’clock piles of sweepings from stores cluttered the previously immaculate pavements. Acting under orders from the may or’s office the health department has issued formal notice on the Grey hound bus BtsU.ion and st^es giving curb service, that they must keep the sidewalk and street In front of their places of business free of pa'per containers and cups as well as other debris resulting from the sale of cokes and ice cream to autoists.

The drone of tuperforts over Japan hroui^ fire and destruction to die cities and industrica of our enemies—created dkaot nduch haatened their surrender. In America tonii^t, odier fires will be sec. They will be forest fires—575 of them^ which wili destroy millions of trees. Those trees would have been i>art of tomortow's pub>wood and timber supply. But, because of thouihtlessness and care* Icaaneas, dut wealdt of raw material will be lost forever. No acetkm of our country has a more vital interest in the preservation of our forest resources dun have we of the South. Much of our economy is built around this important asset and a large part of our income k derived from that source. New uses dut have been discovered for diis versatile material give promise of even larger demands for this great crop of the South. To enjoy die added hicocne now in prospect we must guard this treas« ure. You can contribute to this by helping ' to prevent forest fires. Like accidents. **duy don’t just happetu** vllle, Ky.
