Rucker All Georgia farmers have been warned to be alert for the black tturpentine beetle which caused so much damage to pine trees last year.' This warning came from Dr. C. R. Jordan, entomologist for the College of Agriculture Extension Service. Dr. Jordan said that recent rains probably have helped the situation, but he added that there is still a possibility of heavy infestations in 1956. Here in Forsyth County most of the damage caused by the turpen tine beetle was in spots where one or more trees were damaged by construction, cutting or ven light ning. From the one or more dam aged trees the turpentine beetle can easily spread to the surround ing trees. The turpentine beetle is about one-fourth to three-eights of an inch long, and from dark brown to black in color. The insect bores through the outer bark and worrks in the inner bark. The* first signs of the presence of this insect are the pitch tubes which show up at the entrance holes in the bark. When attacks are severe, the foliage turns a yel lowish-green and finally reddish brown'as the tree dies. Anything that can be done to keep the trees in a healthy con dition will help to decrease insect damage. This includes carrying out good logging ppractices. Valuable trees san be protected for a period of about six months by applying a one-half percent BHC spray to the lower six feet of the trunk Pines that are dy ing from beetle damage should be removed. The lower trunks and stumps should be sprayed with a one percent BHC oil solution if they are left in the area. Pine trees that are attacked by the beetle can be saved if control measures are begun in time. As soon as the infestation is noticed, the lower portions of the trunks |as high as the pitch tubes are ! found be sprayed. Trees in yards ; where the oil may injure grass or j shrubbery should be sprayed with ! a one percent water Solution.

County Population 15,000. Number 19. Special Events Mark Observance Of HD Club Week Building better homes today for a better world tomorrow is the idea back of the program carried i on by some 50,000 Home Demon stration Club members in Georgia, and more than 5,000,000 members throughout the nation, according to Miss Eddye Ross, state home dem onstration agent for the Agricul tural Extension Service. Members are observing the eleventh annual i National Home Demonstration Week this week. Council reports from almost every county in the state show that what a thorough job of im proving their homes and communi ties these members have done, Miss Ross said. Health, safety, and civil defense were three projects that seemed to go hand in hand in many counties, the state leader pointed out. Making health surveys, contributing funds for health cent ers, conducting drives to see that more people had chest x-rays, studying weight control, and learn ing first aid and home nursing were just a few of the ways mem beis emphasized better health. Miss Ross said some clubs deco rated hospital rooms, made visits to children’s homes each month, raised funds so that children could have their eyes examined and bought glasses for those who need ed them. If highways, as well as homes and yards,, are not safer it won’t be the fault of Home Demonstra tion Club members, Miss Ross said, because several HD councils chose clean-up drives and safety surveys as their responsibility. Hundreds of HD Club members serve as local volunteer leaders for the 4-H Club, too, the state leader explained. Money from baz*a”s and contests and sales of various kinds has gone to college, used by some deserving 4-H members sponsored by a Home Demonstration Club. Some of the money helped those who stayed at home to have better times, too, as it went toward build ing funds for community or 4-H Club houses. Where club houses al ready were built HD Club memb ers supplied the money when re pairs, new draperies, or new furni ture or equipment was needed. Clubs are observing National IID Week in various ways. Church ser vices on April 29 spearheaded Ihe event in many communities. Ex hibits in local store windows, tours to see results of living room, bed room, and kitchen improvement projects, and special programs also are planned. One of the nicest parts of the week is the chance it affords clubs to salute members for attendance records, outstanding service, 4-H leadership, and all around good club work. Some counties will pay tribute to the club of the year and to the Home Demonstration Club member of the year. Studying clothing and nutrition, conducting campaigns for better lighting, sending Care packages, sponsoring educational tours, or ganizing choral groups, collecting books for libraries, conducting con tests to encourage better 4-H Club work, sending 4-H and HD Club delegates to district and state meet ings are other projects of the 1,728 HD Clubs in Georgia. Miss Ross said a message to club members from President Eisen hower congratulated the 563,000 local volunteer leaders, who bring to American homemakers the op portunities of the Extension Ser vice program. Together they strengthen the family and com munity life of our nation. Eisenhower said the theme of the week, “Today’s Health Builds ; Tomorrow’s World,” will surely emphasize the importance of the home in teaching and preserving values of individual freedom and responsibility. It will also show how American women improve j their homes by applying methods developed by home, economics re : search,” the president stated. 1 $16,100,000 donated to charity by 79 corporations in 1948. Governor Thanks Junior Marshals, Praises Activity ATLANTA Georgia Junior Fire Marshals who will soon graduate from school hove been thanked for their services to their schools, fel low students, parents and to their state by Governor Marvin Griffin. "I am happy to give this parting salute to these earnest young peo ple who have so faithfully exercis ed the responsibilities of these im portant offices in Georgia’s famed public school fire prevention pro gram.” Governor Griffin wrote in The Georgia Fire Cracker, official monthly publication of the Safety Fire Commission. Continuing he said: “Lessons learned in school have been taken to their homes by these safety minded youngsters. That has been a good thing for Georgia and I fondly hope that these lessons will be taken with them as they leave their schools to enter college or the world of business and industry. “It is a proud feather in the hat of Safety Fire Commissioner Zack D. Cravey that Georgia’s Junior Fire Marshal program has been copied by other states. But most important, it has been a project serving to make young people and their parents more fully aware of the necessity of ridding their homes, stores, factories and public places of all fire hazards.” THE ENQUIRING MIND Many of our boys and girls fail to acquire the enquiring mind in their early years in the home and in the school. Too many become! lazy in mind and they begin dodg ing the hard tasks actually becom ing indifferent to acquiring knowl edge. Now as never before the leaders of our country are callitrg for* scientist, to few young men and women are becoming scientist. The desire for knowledge and wisdom among our young people is not strong enough. Many times the fathers and mothers are to blame, some parents actually oppose an education for their children. A person can never know to much. We need not fear truth all truth is Gods’ truth. God gave us minds to use for His glory not: to throw away on our selfishness and trifles. If your child has an enquiring mind, encourage him to give himself to the search for knowledge, wisdom and a deep reverence for God, you will be blessing the world through your child. Anyone can lx> ignorant but it: takes work, a deep desire to know and a thorough determination to obtain all the knowledge that is possible for our finite minds to obtain. In other words use our minds for the good of mankind and for the glory of God. W. R.
