Forest wardens to aid fire protection across North Carolina
The Forest Division of the North Carolina Geological and Economic Survey calls on county and town officials to hire forest wardens over the next two years. Funds are limited, so wards will be appointed where cooperation is strongest, with names of suitable candidates proposed by local authorities. Cooperation may involve contributions to the Survey or payment of wardens during dry periods, under state oversight. The plan aims to improve protection of native timber resources statewide and invites broader local participation. Also notes local residents and visitors, including Miss Nellie Roach and J. A. Poplin, and mentions Swope meetings and watch repairs at Stamner's Jewelry Store.
