CARELESS FIRES
CAMPERS AND TOURISTS NEED OF DRASTIC ACTION Mr I']. T. Frost writes from Pnrcnga, North Auckland, to Captain Sanderson, President of the I*orcst ami Bird Protection Society: Stricter methods of dealing witn the fire menace need to be undertaken if we are to preserve the remnant of forest. This year has been disastrous. In the far north, of acres have been burnt over and ' the country side is an eye.sore. ! It should be made an nfi'enc.* to ' light a lire at all in many areas an. ' less the authorities were notified and ■' all precautions taken to control it. If I had my way I would proclaim ' the whole of the six northern eoun- ' ties as fire areas and place the burning off of any scrub, etc., under con i trol of a responsible authority. The position has got so desperate l that some such drastic measures are needed. i Meantime we can only continue to ; agitate and educate in the hope that . our work will bear fruit. 1
