Conservation Department was put into use and made a fire line around the
forest fire. This plow, drawn by a
caterpillar tractor, makes a seven foot
furrow each round and is a most valuable piece of modern fire-fighting j
equipment. j
According to Conservation Officer
Wayne Tennant, a large percentage
of fires in C'lare county this year have
been along highways, which is evidence that they have been started by
carelessness. Once acreage is burned
over, it take many years for the
natural foliage to be restored for
game cover, to'say nothing of the timber and game that are destroyed in
the fire.
It is urgently requested ihat everyone be very cautious with matches;
smokiug and fires of any nature and
that anyone wishing to burn brush
secure a permit from a conservation
officer before starting the fire, as is
required by law.

The home of Curtis E. "Uncle Tom"

.at 12:00 o'clock midnight last Saturday, while the family was in town, and
by the time the Clare Fire Department
reached the scene fifteen minutes later, the south part of the structure
was all burned but and the walls falling in.
Although the fire in the house was
beyond control when the firemen arrived, they saved the garage standing
just eight feet away, aud its contents,
after a battle that at times appeared
to be in vaiu because of the extreme
heat of the fire and flying embers.
None ol: the family had been at
home since 4:30 Saturday afternoon
and the cause of the fire remains a
mystery. Two dogs, a Shepherd aud
a Fox Terrier belonging to the Thomas' son, Kenneth, which had been left
in the house, both perished in the
flames.
All of the personal effects of the
Thomases and two nieces who made
their home with them were destroyed
