 GEORGIA FORESTRY 
 
Fire Prevention Is Paying Off 
 
(From the Gainesville Daily News) 
 
(The following report from county fire prevention and forest fire 
 
Clyde T. CaiJtrell , Jr., Hall County Forest Ftanger, Georgia 
 
protection headquarters makes good sense to us. No woNler tl e men in the outfit can write v.:i tl such pride in their jobs. Here's the report as we received it:) 
 
Forestry Commission, emphasized the fact that tl1is H cord in lumber production shows again the substantial payoff from Forestry here in our county. 
 
Hall Countians, and Georgians throughout the state, can take pride -in another ''Forestry First'' that Georgia has scored in leading the Eastern United States in the production of lumher as revealed by the latest survey on figures just released by the Bureau of Census, l 1 S. Department of Commerce, which s how that during 1951, the latest year for w},ich figures are availarle, Georgia's output of lumher reached 1,117, N3,000 board feet, of this total 1,729,7RS board feet were softwood-principally tre valuable, f as t ~rowing pines " hid; cover thousands of acres here in Hall County and millions of ac res throughout the state. 
 
These figures show conclu si vely that the money we are expending herP in Hall County for forest fire protection rt'l resents a good, sound investment, and not merely an expense. Our fire suppression equ:ifmeut inc l uriPs :1 J:f\. transport truck and crawler trac tor with plow, which is used for making fire-brea ks in suppressing Forest Fires, a pick-up truck with slip on water pump a nd tank which can be used for protecting buildings, suppressing grass fires, etc., and one Jeep with water pump and tank for cooling down fires, and holding fire breakovers. \\ e have two 80- foot allsteel lookout towers used for detecting fires.

(From the S<,va nn<J, Pre ss ) Tirre, of course, i s of the PS sence in fightin g fires, and rec ognizingthis the Georgia fon:stry Commission has readied a ''mobil izaticr;" plan for orga11i zin!d <-t quick attack agains t any threat of widespread forest fire devastation like that of last fall. 
The Cornr: i~sion has disclo se d it is se tting up base camps to organ ize volunteer groups quickly when needed to help regular firefighters and is clearing red tape in advance for quickhelp by the Nation al Cuard. 
The Comn,j ssion reported that during one week of la st !':ovember fires swept over 75,000 acres of mountainous timberland in two big North Georgia fires that finally we re put out with help of the guardsmen , but an e n tire day wa s required to clear ''r ed li-iJ>P'' necessHy to get guard units in action. 
The mobilization plan is being set up at county and d:istri ct r.s \\ell as at the state level. Base c <mps are being equipped with kitchens , first aid s lations, and communications equipment as well as firefightint tools. 
When the forest puts on its gaudiest dress of rainbow colors and the leaves tumble earthward, Georgia sportsmen turn again to match wits with the wily deer and rabbit, quai I and duck, grouse and turkey. Here in the protected and wisely managed forest -green, growing and wellstocked- are bountiful game, good hunting, good sport. U.S. Forest service Photo.

" Keep Green" Contest 
Officially Under Way 
 
' 'The most spirited competition since our Keep Georgia Green contest began three years ago, Wfl.S predicted this month by Hugh Dobbs, President of the Georgia Forestry Association, as he reported the 1953-54 contest was officially under way. The deadline for entry in the contest was midnight, October 31. 
For tlat- tJ i rd cons ecu ti ve year, judgesselected by the Association <: re determinin g the Georr;ia county in which citizens have shown the greatest progress in forest fire prevention. 
All counties under the organized forest protection system of the Georgia Forestry Commis si on~ including new counties o rganized since Jul y 1, were eligible to compete. Forest fire prevention activities from July 1, 1953, through March , 1954, will be judged.

''Much emphasis,'' said Mr. Lufburrow, ''will be placed on initiative and originality.'' He said a new feature of the 1953 -54 contest is a county score sheet which judges will use to rate fire prevention activities of individual counties. Thirty different i terns will be lis ted. 
~~r. Dobbs pointed out that e very county will be a winner to a degree by saying, ''Even though a county may not win one of the cash prizes, jt will have lost

L. L. Lundy, Assistant Fire Control Chief, Georgia Forestry Commi !:-si0n made that report today as he pointed out the forestry organization's accic!ent record per million miles was 2.4. accicents. 
The state average for all Georgia citizens driving vehicles is 2. 6 accidents per n:illion miles.

The Commission requires all personnel driving any of its 459 vehicles to carry liability insurance so that if a drivtr is at fault in an accident, the driver and accomp anying occupants of the other vehicle involved wi 11 be paid a just unount. State law forbids use of state funds for this rurll0 !:-C 1 and the Comnission invoked the liability insurance requi rerrent to protect the pt1bl ic.

This dog's point is well taken. One cigarette, dropped in dry grass,

can start a fire that will destroy thousands of acres of valuable wood- 
 
land. One fire may close a large "re" to hundreds of sportsmen. F"st 
 
spr ea ding fl"mes trap birds "nd animals, destroy their cover and 
 
burn rheir food supplies. 
 
Fire kills young trees, too-trees needed for tomorrow's timber h"rvests. Please be careful with fire in the woods. Do your p.srt to keep our st,te g reen.
