Yule Tree Group
Will Meet Here
The farm crop with the great
est potential in Georgia?
It’s Christmas trees, says B.R.
Murray, forester with the Uni
versity of Georgia Extension
Service of the Georgia Station
in Griffin.
Georgia uses slightly more
than one million trees each year,
and all but 10 to 12 percent of
them come from outside the
state.
Latest estimates place the
number of commercial Christ
mas tree growers in Georgia at
50. “These growers are selling
from 100,000 to 150,000 trees
each year,” according to Mr.
Murray. “Income per tree aver
ages around $1.50."
The big story is in the poten
tial, the Extension forester con
tinued.
That potential will be discuss
ed at length here Wednesday,
Nov. 13, when the Georgia
Christmas Tree Growers Asso
ciation holds its annual meeting
at the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion. The meeting will begin at
1:30 p.m. in Stuckey auditorium.
The program will feature two
reports and a tour of Christmas
tree research under way at t h e
Station. T. J. Williams, States
boro, president of Georgia Christ
mas tree growers, and T. S.
Davis, Griffin, will report on the
1968 meeting of the National
Christmas Tree Growers Asso
ciation which they attended in
Indiana, Penn.
The second report will be ma
de by Mr. Murray, on a study he
made of Christmas tree produc
tion in North Carolina.
The field trip to the Experi
ment Station’s research plots is
scheduled for 3 p.m., with ad
journment at 4 o’clock.

Black National
Freedom Fighter
Hijacks Plane
MIAMI (UPD—A “black na
tionalist freedom fighter” hi
jacked a Houston-to-Miaml jet
with 65 persons aboard today
christened it the “Republic of
New Africa” and forced it to
Havana.
National Airlines Flight 186,
hijacked only a few moments
after taking off from New
Orleans, landed safely In
Havana at 11:11 a.m. EST.
No details were worked out
yet on the return of the plane,
its 58 passengers or seven
crewmen. But in all recent
hijajeking of airlines—particular
ly onles as large as this Boeing
727 “Stretch Jet” — the
passengers have had to stay
behind and return on another
flight.
The flight originated in
Houston and took off from its
one intermediate stop, new
Orleans, at 9:49 a.m. EST. At
10:02 a.m., its pilot, Capt.
Antone Hunter, radioed Houston
air traffic controlers that he
was being hijacked.
He said the hijajekers ordered
him to advise everyone—
evidently including the passen
gers—that they were being
ordered to Havana by a “black
nationalist freedom fighter.”
Georgians “to dedicate ourselves to the task of promot
ing world peace as the greatest reward which might be
bestowed upon these warriors of liberty.” State Veterans
Service Director Pete Wheeler is serving as Georgia
Chairman for Veterans Day observance. Department
Commanders and auxiliary presidents of the veterans’
organizations are serving as Co-chairmen.
