Various editions of that code have been adopted In several hundred communities. Mr. Fowler urged every city which does not have a comprehensive up-to-date fire prevention code, to adopt this new one. He suggested those that have an earlier edition of the code to replace it with the new one. "The uniformity which would result from such widespread .use of the new code would benefit everyone concerned," he said. Copies of the new Flre Prevention Code may be obtained free by persons having an interest in the code air well as by committees considering local codes.

The report showed 1,587 forest per cent in acreage burned and a 15 per cent increase in number of forest fires. , , The A.F.P.I. report, based on U. S.

During 1951 a total of 287 fires burned 9,731 acres. James C. McClellan, chief for* ester, American Forest Products Industries, pointed out the increase in fires and area burned resulted from an unusually dry season. He said had it not been for the effective .work of forest fire fighting organization in the state, fire losses might have been much higher. The chief forester said 1952 saw a national increase of 30 did the previous year. The state had 954 forest fires started by debris burners during the year. Those who deliberately started forest fires, either through malice or through the mistaken belief greater profits could be gained by setting their woods afire, caused 191 fires. Careless smokers caused 216 forest fires. Illinois is one of thirty-one states that provide organized protection for all its forestlands. states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana and Michigan sent 987 groups as follows: Indiana, 384; As the school year closes the Wisconsin, 326; Michigan, 183; number of schools visiting the and jowa, £4 , Museum in such organized.
