PEOPLE ASKED TO HELP
PREVENT GRASS FIRES
The hot, dry weather has
made grass into parched .tinder
that is ready to ignite at the
drop of a burning cigarette butt
or a carelessly tossed match.
Grass should be cut away
from buildings and fences. Care
should be taken in burning trash
to see that it cannot set the
surrounding grass on fire.
Smokers should snuff out their
cigarette butts before disposing
of them and then not throw
them into dry grass. Campers
should be careful of their fires
and young woodsmen should he
especially warned against build-
ing fires near dry grass.
It Pays To Advertise
Even the puppies realize the
value of the advertising pull
of' the Gazette. A lost ad was
carried last week for a rat ter-
rier dog.
Early Thursday morning, the
pet returned home. Ink was
hardly dry on the paper, when
the pooch read of his being
“wanted.” The marks of a cord
around his neck bore evidence
he had chewed the rope in his
haste to answer the ad.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Stefka
and son of Hockley in renewing
their subscription wrote of the
James Patek and baby girl.
- -
Boy Scouts of America for a
3-day schedule of conferences
and “pow-wows.”
The Founder of the Order of
the Arrow is E. Urner Goodman,
National Director of $he Divi-
sion of Program, Boy Scouts of
America. He conceived the idea
of a camp honor society while
he was on the Executive Staff at
Philadelphia in 1915 and, with
his associates at Treasure Is-
land, the Philadelphia Boy
Scout Camp, established the
fraternity. He will give the key-
note address at the opening ses-
sion on Wednesday, September
1. Wes Klusmann of New York,
National Director of Camping
and Activities of the Boy Scouts
of America, will attend as an
adviser.
Under the leadership of Na-
tional Chief Robert H. Hei-
stand of Baltimore, the conven-
tion will get underway in the
University auditorium. The
opening session will feature
American Indian ceremonies in
full regalia and the dramatiza-
tions in the outdoor arena. One
feature will be the traditional
“style show” of Indian costumes
to be used in the colorful
grand pageant.
Opportunities for learning
new techniques will be avail-
able in the discussion groups
and demonstrations. Impressive
ceremonials will take place at
the formal campfires each eve-
ning.
The 3-day meeting will close
Friday noon with the reports
of findings from the group
sessions, presentation of distin-
guished service awards and
final challenge.
The General Conference
Chairman will be C. Kellock
Hale, Jr., Mt. Airy, N. C.; the
program will be guided by Her-

Before you throw that match ^
away, break it between your | Pie»sure Gazette afforded
fingers. If it is still flaming you |them eacn week, _
may burn your fingers, but that
will warn you against starting
what may be an expensive fire.
A little caution may save you
a big loss and the members of
the Shiner Volunteer Fire De-
partment will appreciate not
having to get out in this swelt-
ering heat to put out a grass
fire you can prevent by being
careful.
