HAHRISBITRG Cfigßß TELEGRAPH FOREST FIRES TO BE DISPLAYED Commonwealth Using Films to Demonstrate Destruction of State Woods '"The Curse of the Forest;" the mo tion picture of a forest' fire taken otj the Mont Alto State forest, has be>n booked for three showings in the Cum berland valley. It will be shown No vember 25 at the Scotland school; No vember 2 8 at Mercersburg, and No vember 30, Thanksgiving Day, at Waynesboro. The picture is in two and one-half reels, and Is one of the best forest Are pictures ever filmed. It was taken by the Vltagraph Company of America In co-operation with the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry. Although it is listed as an "educational"plcture. It has as many thrills as most melo dramas. The fire It shows was one of the fiercest the South Mountains have ever seen. The fire fighters had sev eral narrow escapes, and the camera man succeeded In catching two of them for the picture, for which he al most lost his life and his camera. Present Pennsylvania forest fire conditions are contrasted in the pic ture with conditions we might havo if adequate funds were available. Not a single scene of the picture is faked, and every foot of It, with the excep tion of one office scene, was taken on the State forests. It shows the be ginning, development and method of fighting a forest fire, with the desola tion which follows in Its wake. It also shows the modern methods by which many forest firest could bo prevented, and the loss from others reduced to a minimum. In addition, there are many scenes taken near - the pictur esque Forest Academy at Mont Alto, where Pennsylvania's foresters are trained. | Altogether, it is distinctly a Pennsyl- I vania picture. The scenario and stag i ing were arranged by the Department of Forestry, and all of the actors but I one are men of the Pennsylvania For est Service. It is an especially good picture for the children to see.

STATE'S MAP MEN PLOT BIG FOREST Work in Juniata Valley Is Be ing Pushed by Conklin's Surveying Force • According to a report which reached the Capitol to-<lay the State's oiticial map makers have been doing some notable work up the Juniata valley. A strip of almost solid forest, approxi mately fifty-five miles long and from two to eight miles wide, has been cov ered by topographers of the Forest Service in the most accurate survey of Pennsylvania's forests ever made. The area extends In a northeasterly di rection from the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad near Peters burg, to within five miles of Mifflin burg. It embraces parts of Hunting don, Center, Snyder, Mifflin and Union counties, and takes in almost 170.000 acres of State forests, an area twice the size of Montour county. The purpose of the surveys Is to se cure data on which to base plans for the future development of the State forests. Maps of the areas surveyed are being made up as rapidly as pos sible, and show every detail of topo graphy. Springs, roads, trails, fire lanes, streams, camp sites and eleva tion can be shown for every acre. On the basis of these maps, the forests will be divided Into Compartments, corresponding to the fields of a farm. Each compartment, like each field, can then bo given the treatment Its condi tion demands. This will make possi ble a system of lntenslvo forest man agement very much like the system which has made Germany's forests so productive. The surveys will be continued until the whole million acres of State forest have been covered. As soon as maps are made up, small scale copies will be placed . on sale at nominal prices. The only maps avail able now are for the Barree Forest. Huntingdon county. Others are al most completed for the following for ests: Bear Meadows, Greenwood, Seven Mountain, Penn, Jack's Moun tain, Buffalo, Kishacoquillas and Pen nypacker.
