Dare of Selden to ' motorists and residents. Mr. Dar e , whose territory covers all of Suff olk and part of Nassau county , on Sunday* urged, motorists not to, throw matches from their car s , which he said was one of the major causes for the fires rep orted in the spring and fall of each year. He also warned -local residents ' against - the practice of burning \ grass and brush in windy weather. .. Two of the largest . brusli fires over the week-end , each of which swept over more than 100 acres , occurred near East Manorville Saturday after- noon and in the Pinewood camp area in The Ridge Sunday afternoon.

Sunday- Camp Newcombe , \Wading River , ten acres; Hauppauge , five acres; Great River , ten acres. A fire that covered 30 acres, took place Sunday in Oyster Bay town , just over the Suffolk line * Mr. Dare said. \ The Yaphank Fire department , a Conservation . department truck and about 50 members of the Civilian Conservation corps stationed at Camp Upton fought the latter ire all Sun- day afternoon and part of the ni ght.

Because the fully grown reeds are a. perennial fire hazard , the firemen made little effort to stop the blaze , but ' coh-centrated their ef- forts on protecting several nearby buildings . The ' f lames attracted a large crowd to the section , which is near the Snapper , inn.

Weiss , of Temple uni- versity in Philadelphia , claims you caugh t ill health by ju st being gloomy, and he says if you work yourself into an un- happy enough state yo-u can get symptoms that will - mimic al- most any disease. So , evidently, Mr. Editor , germs are also liable to compe- tition and unemployment , and while the solution of their prob- lem may be in unionization , it' s a field in which both Mr. Green and Mr. Lewis would be greatl y handicapped without trained or- ganizers.
