COLONY DAY - -
Cont. from p.l
Mr. Hagen said that there might be
two dances during Colony Day, but
there would be one on Saturday
Night. Plans are to have dancers
come in Colony Day costume. Tenta
tive plans call for a Radio Broad
cast program on Sunday evening.
Two points under discussion were no'
settled at this meeting. One had to
do with the location of the program
and barbecue and the other with the
percentage which all stands and con
cessions would be required to pay
into the general fund. Several were
in favor of holding this year's
event at the Fair Grounds where
shelter would be available in windy
weather. Others favored the usual
area due to the convenience it af
forded in attending to the barbecue
during its preparatory period when
it must be watched day and night.
HAVE BURNING
If YOU
JO DO - -
Sparing is arriving ahead of sche
lule this year. Homesteaders,fann
irs, summer home owners and others
.iving out of town are urged by Roger
Robinson, Regional Forester for
ihe Bureau ofrLand Management, to
mrn off the old dry grass on their
’ields and around their buildings
;oon after the snow disappears from
;ho clearings while it is still com*'
>aratively safe to burn. Green grass
soon grows up forming a safety zone
around buildings and homes.
Farmers and homesteaders expecting
to clear land should burn the grass
and light debris around the areas
where there arc heavy concentrations
of clearing debris which they expect
to burn later when conditions are
favorable. Each year a number of
debris burning fires escape from
land clearing operations and do con
siderable dcmage. If burning is not
done prior to April 20, burning
conditions will no longer be safe,
and the advice of the resident-fire
guard should be sought before burn
ing is done. -
The Alaska Fire Control Act of 1949
placed a greater responsibility on
private land owners in the proper
handling of clearing end other fires
startad by them in making it a mis
demeanor to leave a fire unattended
during ,firo season on either private
or public land.
Regional Forester Robinson states
that the Division of Forestry has
a small group of well trained for
esters under the jurisdiction of
Charles C. V*hite, District Forester,
who are available to give advice'
and aid in burning problems. Mr.
V.hite can be contacted by calling
artesian 290 in anchorage. After
April 10 a fire guard, Charles 3.
iKendall, and one helper, will be
stationed at the Palmer Guard Sta
tion with a good supply of fire
fighting equipment. They too will
be available for aid and advice#
