Summer cornlilions continue. Dime are drought and dryness to an unusual degree in all parts of both islands. Consequently, fires prevail north and south, much damage having already resulted. The grass and the hedges are like so much tinder. Eeilding ami disiri.cl have been fortunate so far, and our good fortune will only continue through the exer-

cise of constant, increasing vigilance. From Nelson province and elsewhere come reports of devastating fires having been caused by touring motorists carelessly leaving live cam]) tires behind Diem. We would again urge everybody in town and country to do everything possible io reduce the peril of lire to a minimum by seeing to it individually that camp pres are adequately drenched, that matches are really dead before being thrown away, that cigarette and cigar butts have no life in them when thrown away, and that Die pipe’s dotth; is not knocked into dry grass by the wayside. Beware of fire!
