cindy eenelenee SAN FRANCISCO---A spec-— tacular reduction in the number of fires caused by lumbering in California's National Forests during 1962 and an even more spectacular reduction in the acreage burned in those fires was announced by Regional Forester Chas. A. Connaughton. Total number of fires was 41 and area burned totaled 33 acres, an all time low. Power saw use was the cause of 12 of the fires, Connaughton said, and slash and debris burning accounted for eight.
