April, 1925, will pass ioto
history as tba moat destructive
for forest fires witblo a long
period, entailing untold losses to
valuable wsterheds and young ai
large timber. For the past three
weeks fires on maoy of tha
mountains in Central Peonsy-
Ivania bare broken oat and before
thay spent their force burned a
vast area of wild land, despite
tbe united efforts of the fire
wardens and a large body ot men
to combat tba. progress of tbe
flames. These firm cause oot
alone untold damage to the
forests, but wild live suffers
immeasurably, and once a fire
sw> eps a section game is not to
be tound, for its source of food
has been destroyed.
Sunday afternoon e forest fire
broke oot on the Allegheny
mountain, baok of Wopsononock
and ate its way oaat over tbe
mountain to near what is known
as KeUey hollow, snd aided by
a stiff breeze left a wide patb ol
damage in its woke. Responding
to an appeal for help a number
of young men oftbe boroagh left
about nine o'clock to assist in
extinguishing the fire. Tbey
succeeded in staying its progress
to a certain extent bat the rain
Tuesday afternoon pat a wot
blanket oa tbe bluze aad its force
ba* therefor been spent.
Forest fires are dae to mea**
causes but are largely due to (he

We, es   citizens of  Bellwood
are, right now, face to face will

using tbis new route.    We cannot pemit ourselves to wait until:
tbe road is   built  and   then get

prepared    with     every    means
possible   to meet   the   changed
conditions which will confront oe

A survey of our conditions as to

thia time we surajy would _,
Bring the worst afreets in

by our citizens would bs increased
by the added condemnation aad

travelling pablic wbo endeavored
to steer their .ways throng b the
devious channels of thousand
islands to safety.
It is high time thst a comprehensive general plan of town development be. worked oat and
followed from year to year. A

A careful scrutiny of every act of
tbe council from now until

deciding whether the affairs of
tbe borough are conducted along
the line of tbe greatest good for
the greatest number. " It yoa sre
