The mid-April date set by Wil liams, is, according to the conser- vation departmentt's fire chief, \the most critical season of the year\ and he renewed annual warnings to motorists and campers, point- ing out that the precautions against lighted cigarette stubs, un- | guarded fires and matches are now more necessary than ever. Watch Hudson Valley Linked with the Long Island area as a forest fire danger spot is the lower Hudson valley, and preparations for preventing blazes in this area were as concentrated as on Long Island. Little immediate danger of fires in the heavily wooded regions. of the Catskill and _ Adirondack mountains is seen by conserva- tionists, Williams said, because of the heavy blanket of snow which has been lying in these areas most of the winter.
