CARELESS FIRES
NEED OF DRASTIC ACTION. Mr E. T. Frost writes from Parenga, North Auckland, to Captain Sanderson, President of the Forest and Bird Piotection Society, as follows:—Stricter methods of dealing with the fire menace need to be undertaken if we are to preserve the remnant of forset. This year has been disastrous. In the far north, thousands of acres have been burnt over and the countryside is an eyesore. It should be made an offence to light a fire at all in many areas unless the authorities were notified and all precautions taken to control it. It I had my way 1 would proclaim the whole of the six northern counties as fire areas and place the burning off of •my scrub, etc., under control of a responsible authority. The position has got so desperate that some such drastic measures are needed. Meantime we can only continue to agitate and educate in the hope that our work will bear fruit.
