THIS IS BUSY SEASON FOR FffiE WEATHER PORCASTER
Each summer when weather con¬ ditions are right for forest fires, the Pire Weather Warning Service of the United States Weather Bureau goes Into action—this year earlier than usual. All the Western States in late spring were dry because of a ri^nfall much below normal. Fre¬ quent and early thunderstorms in¬ creased the danger from lightning— the only weather element with whicli nature starta fires. Tlw Unit".! States Forest Service reported flre^ in Oregon as  early &a April.
In addition to special fire wpathor reports from San Francisco, Port¬ land, Seattle, and Missoula, Mon¬ tana, the Weather Bureau main¬ tains Ave mobile units for westrrn units for western forests. Tlic^>< units, each manned by a forecaster and a radio man, are available for duty on severe forest fires. At the scene of a big fire local observations of wind and weather are made, and special advices are issued to help the fire fighters In their work. T r '• special forecast are relayed to nirn on the fire line. It tells them what effect wind and weather changes may have on fires already bumliw and, if thunderstorms are expected, that other flres may be started by lightning.

Until conclusive proof U furnished to the contrary, Nazareth claims the oldest full fashioned hosiery knit¬ ter of America. He Is none other •han William Bennett of 154 South Main St., who for the past thirty- tiiue years was in the employ of the Kraemer Hosiery Company and a re.sident of tov^ni

Mr. Bennett came to Naz. areth in 1900. started knitting at the Kraemer plant and completed 39 continuous years on the job here last week, when he decided to re¬ tire. He rounded out 65 years In the full-fashioned knitting business, 26 in England and 39 in America, record, we believe, that cannot be matched In this country by any man

"These changea aiv directed both toward raising tba mechanical and equipment standard of mjtor vehicles and compeUlOf operators to take fewer chances bf dangerous driving practices."
One of the most important *• mendments made to the Motor Va* hide Code Is the new requirooMal that operators must have a olaav view 300 feet ahead before they iHf legally attempt to pass another cu. The old clear-view distance waa M feet, but experience baa provatf Ik was not a sufBciently safe a>ai|l| because of the greater apeeda wUh which traffic has been moving la recent years. Too many motortata— especially thoae whose Idea of M feet was any distance betwean Ml and 200 feet—learned tbat ttMT could not check their ear or f< it suddenly ahead in a aplit when a third machine appaarad al the crest of a hill or from around S curve.
"The value of ttie increased ing distance provision is to ba in the fact that more tban ISjHI accklents were caused in Panaiglo vania last year by oparatora at" tempting to paaa other cart or cat into a line of traffic. In thia great of mishaps, 51 persons wert UIM and injuries or property damagt !•• suited in about 8,000.
"Anotiier Motor Vehicle OoiO change which undoubtedly will aavs lives, precent injuries and avoM aa* cidents is that which pr<AiblU torists from driving on tlrea are on the verge of blow-outa. new provision bars the operation af any motor vehicle with tiiea ing breaker atrip, cushion fabric. It provides further that, •« soon as the owner or operator haa been notified by a police linear his tires are unsafe, unflt, or In of correction, adjustment or repall% the motorist has only 43 houra IB which to repair or replace tba da* fective rubber. The penalty for fa9* ure to comply with thia law la • fine of 810 and costa or five Ai^S imprisonment.
"Under another section of tbt Mf* motorists are prohibited from salBf auxiliary or fog lamps in subatlbUS for head lamps except under ditlons of rain and fog which the use of the regular head laaM disadvantageous. In other WONl^ such fog lamps can be turnad 3B only when the weather coodltlou |3 such that the auxiliary lanapa vM make driving safer and will aal handicap other highway usera. OB8S the motor vehicle operator tuma M his fog lamps, moreover, tht Mf co.mpels him to reduce his speed bO 25 miles an hour and prohiblta MM from exceeding that Umit aa laH as he Is using the auxiliary laaipe?

LUMBER Pn£
If all the lumber cut4n the United States for about the last 133 years were in a single solid pile it would make a cube almost exactly 1 mile in each dimension according to a recent calculation by the Pederal Forest Service. The pile would be more than four times the height of the Empire State Building (1,248 feet>. As much lumber has been cut in the la«t 35 years, according to Forest Service estim.ites, as In the precedinc 100 years.
I    In order that the county Agricul- I tural   Conservation  Comittees   may I determine  usual   acreages  and   al- ^ lotments for wheat In counties deslg- I nated   as  wheat   counties   for   the purpose of the 1940 Farm Program, all wheat farmers In those counties who were not enrolled in the 1939 Program but who want to be in tlie 1940 Program should get In touch with  their County Committees not later than July 15 In order to sup¬ ply   the  Committee  with  informa¬ tion  regarding   the  crop  land  and wheat acreage on their farms during past years.
In these counties a wheat farmer who has a iL<ual acreage of ten acres or more will have a wheat allot¬ ment set by the county cdnunittee for the 1940 crop Tlie farmer may then grow within this .lUotment or he may reque.st th* county commlt- Ipp to consider his farm as a non- allotment farm. In which caae he may  grow wheat up to hia usual
acreage. If he elects to be elasal- fled as a non-allotment farm he will receive no conservation or price adjustment payment for growing wlttiin his allotment, but he may grow up to his usual acreage with¬ out any deductiona. If he grows over his usual acreage, there will be a deduction from any paynwnta earned under the program.
This applies to wheat farmera la the following counties designattd aa commercial wheat counties:
Adama, Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver. Bedford. Berks.
