They wound up starting 169 forest fires in Ontario which destroyed hundreds of acres of trees and endangered lives and properties. According to the forest fire control staff of the Ministry of Natural Resources, this small minority of spring -cleaners could have avoided trouble by following a few simple rules. During the fire season from April 1 to October 31 in the forest fire region, it is illegal to burn without a pertit. Burning permits can be obtained from a fire warden or at the Ministry of Natural Goderich woman buried at Maitland Mrs. Renes Harrison of.

Always have equipment on hand to ensure fire control. Burning in the evening is much safer in most cases as the fire will not be as intense and the burning period is shorter. Smoking while walking or working in a forest during the fire season is illegal. Outdoor incinerators should be covered with a heavy duty screen having a mesh size not greater than one-quarter inch. If in doubt about controlling fire during dry or windy days, ask for advice from local fire officials or wait until con- ditions are favorable. Never leave a fire unattended even for a second. If possible don't burn. Transport all garbage, dead grass, leaves ,and ac- cumulated debris to your local garbage dump. Make sure all fires are completely dead before leaving the site. Above all say forest fire control officials, respect fire. It's a wonderful tool, but one of the most destructive farces in nature. + ++ The new Ontario Official Road Maps will be released jointly by the Ministries of Transportation and Com- munications and Industry and Tourism this year.

Dear Editor, 4- was pleased to read your article in the May 18 edition of The Signal in which -you- revealed a commitment of our ambitious Sports' Com- mittee to raise "... any amount of money..." for the completion of the im- provements to the Agricultural Park. Such enthusiasm leaves the budding participactionist agog with visions of,__the facilities that the future must hold for year round activities. The covering of Judith Gooderham Pool, con- struction of indoor racquet courts and clearing of trails. for cross country, hiking and jogging could all be com- pleted for the Olympian sum of $310,000. The utility of these facilities is tripled by the nature of their availability,as well as the breadth of their appeal across all fitness bracket. Only one thing dims our vision of adequate year round facilities for the residents of ,Goderich area; th t is the rash haste with which council has acted in authorizing the complete improvement program before verification of adequate fina-ncial support has been received. Let us hope that our Olympian sum does not become an Olympic debt and destroy our Olympian visions. Con Melody.
