JOBLESS BOOST fOBEST FIBE TOLL OF STATE Pennsylvania Warden Explains Cause in His Annual Report Harrisburg, Pa., Ntc. 12.—(U.R)— I’nemph yment contributed largely Io Penngylgania’s forest fire loss this year. Chief Forest Fire Ward-1 en Oeorge B. Wirt reported in summing up the season. Ths report showed that this season was the worst experienced in tnany years. There were 6,000 fires burning on an area of 300,000 acres. The cost of extinguishing the blazes was $425,000, Wirt’s statement said. The part that unemployment played in adding to the factors which caused the forest fire increase was two-fold, according to Wirt. First, with more idle time on their hands, greater numbers of
