Ban Placed On Rural Fires Effective on March 81, untL further notice, the New Jersey Board of Conservation and Development, through the . State Forest Fire Service, has banned vmost types of day-time burnings and prohibited open fires of any kind after dark on all lands subject to the Fire Permit provisions of the ntate Forest Fire law. This step is being taken both to reduce the annual forest fire loss and as a war measure. Until March 31, burnings may be carried on under the usual permit regulations and persons having occasion to burn are urged ' complete it before that date. After March 31, necessary protective burnings will be permitted only by special authorization of the state fire warden. After dark every type of open fire which might be seen from the air, including camp fires and picnic fires, is prohibited. The new restrictions will epply to three million acres, both woodland other lands, on which the State Forest Fire Permit law is

operative.

For the balance of the state, e municipalities will be requested to impose the same restrictions which the Forest Fire Service is placing on lands under

its jurisdiction.

Commenting on the necessity for stricter regulation, Captain LeRoy S. Fales, state fire warden, said, "Last year was the most disastrous in the history of the Forest Fire Service. We were called upon to extinguish 2.473 forest fires, an all-time

Warns Against Food Hoarding Federal officials are determined to get after food hoarders, Mrs. Helena M. Simmons, chairman of the Consumers Interests Gomittee of the State Defense Coun-

1. said today.

“Sugar hoarders will be sorry ' for every pound they have tucked

away,” ahe predicted.

Commenting on the sugar situation, Mrs. Simmons declared that ' the situation is becoming steadily ffiiBter. One reason, she sa" the fear by prospective hoi that they will be penalised for their holdings when rationing is

put into effect.

“However," she pointed out, “hoarding is not confined to any one food. Rumors are spreading and the unpatriotic household is stocking up on other foods as well. One thing which they t to forget is that in many cas< will be hoarding just such as theira which will bring about rationing and will force declaration and perhaps confiscation of their hold-

ings.”

Mrs. Simmons, wbo has been combatting hoarding by both housewife and retailer for several weeks, quoted a statement from Leon Henderson, Administrator of Price Control, on the rationing program which will soon be put into effect. “The regulations are a wartime measure and must be adhered to strictly, whether they pertain to tires, automobiles, sugar or any other commodity. We are not out to make ’examples’ but to protect 1 the overwhelming majority

os by the course of a only method by whic

supply can be spread fairly. 1
