Raleigh—An active campaign against forest fires is being waged in North Carolina headed by Governor McLean, who, in co-operation with the state department of conservation and development, has sounded many notes of warning. The governor, in an address at Asheville, outlined his forestry policy as enunciated by him on previous occasions, and urged the people to unite in fighting forest fires.
During his address at Asheville, the governor pledged the support of his administration to all engaged in the work of fighting forest fires. He declared a united public opinion would prove a very effective weapon and, at the same time, urged educational campaigns against this form of waste to be carried on in the schools and colleges.
The department of conservation and development has assigned speakers to numerous institutions, including many of the summer schools, to tell of the evil results of forest fires.
