He took seriously the words
of the late Julius Rosenwald,
"When you have a lemon, make

that with the 34 year water

Not only did he solve the

which turned out to be an out

NATIONAL BUSINESS WOMEN'S WEEK
This annual week, sponsored throughout the United States
by The National Federation of Business and Professional Wo
men's Clubs, Inc., is set aside to pay tribute to women in business
and the professions, and the contribution they make to the na
tion. The theme of 1959 "National Business Women's Week" is
"A Right Turn to a Confident Future".
The division of forestry has commissioned a number of county
men as forest fire wardens in this section.
Noble countians have been advised to check the warden nearest
to them in order that all fires might be reported promptly.
The Forestry office announced today that the fall forest fire
season begins on October 1 and
continues through November.
During these months burning
permits are required for all fires
kindled in the open outside the
corporation limits of towns and
villages.
Burning permits are issued,
free of charge, by local forest
fire wardens to landowners, their
tenants or their agents. Safety
precautions as shown on the
permits must be fully observed.
Burning without a permit, or
allowing a fire to escape control
is a violation of the state forest
fire laws and the person respon
sible is liable to prosecution.
