If We Would Have Forests We Must Prevent Fires
The hunting season is on and you will not find game where the woods have been burned. It is extremely dry and a spark will ignite unburned woods causing damage to owners and reducing hunting grounds. It is against the law to thaw any cigarette or fire from a vehicle on public highways. If burning is needed contact Church Creek Tower for safe guidance by Leon Spicer or W. E. Seeders.
