THE NEWBERRY SUN
THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1964
Wind, Lack Of Rainfall, Careless
Smokers Blamed For 50 County Fires
During February, 50 wild woods
fires burned 488 acres of timber-
land in the Newberry District, ac
cording to E. L. Middleswart,
District Forester of Newberry.
Only 16 fires burned 93 acres dur
ing the month of February, 1953.
A total of 212 woods fires have
burned 1558 acres in the Newber
ry District from July 1, 1953
through February 28, 1954 as com
pared to 222 fires burning 3704
acres for the corresponding per
iod the preceding fiscal year.
Rainfall for February in the
Newberry District averaged 1.75
inches. This low amount of rain
combined with strong winds has
made landowners loss from fires
high for the month.
The leading causes for fires dur
ing the month were careless
smokers causing 26 fires burning
124.2 acres and careless brush
burners causing 13 fires, burning
317.1 acres. Other fire causes
were incendiary—5; lumbering—
3; railroads—1; and miscellaneous
—2 fires.
Everyone using fire during the
dry and windy weeks just ahead
should take every precaution and
not let it get out of control. If
you plan to burn brush, grass,
ditch banks, etc., follow these
suggestions: (1) do it late in
evening; (2) plow a wide fire line
around the area; (3) notify your
county ranger or nearby fire
tow r er the hour you are going to
burn; (4) have plenty of help and
tools available; (5) burn in small
areas or piles.
If you are a smoker remember:
(1) break your match before dis
posing of it; (2) use your ash
tray; (3) crush out your cigarette
or cigar butt or your pipe ashes.
Be careful with fire and grow
timber—not burn it!

Lesson for March 21: John 13: 12-

Golden Teset: John 13: 34-
In the upper room Jesus, in the
absence of a servant to minister
unto them, laid aside his outer gar
ments and began to wash the dis
ciples’ feet. Putting aside the ob
jection of Peter, he continued with
the. task till all the feet were
washed. Then he explained to them
that he had given them an example
of willingness to do the lowliest
service for the good of others.
Then Jesus said that he gave
them a new commandment tha'
they love one another. This wat
not a new commandment in the
sense that it had never been giver
to men at all, but it was new in
the circumstance under which it
was given and all the blessed in
ferences and • applications to be
drawn from it.
The Lord declared that the man
who loves Him will keep his com
mandments. And the Father and
He will manifest themselves unto
such a man. They will come unto
Him and dwell in His heart and
make their abode with them.
Love alone proves that man Is
sincere in his profession of al
legiance to the Lord and Master,
for Jesus^said, “If a man love me.
he will keep my words.” Love is
the greatest proof to a cavilling
world that a man is truly a Chris
tian and that the Son Of God can
depend upon him in every hour
