We are repeatedly amazed by the speed with
under so many names.
Hard work hurts few people because so few
ffive it a chance.
Too many individuals try to be smart in
stead of truthful.
Everybody is an expert when it comes to
making predictions.
The mercy of God is not to be purchased by
cash contributions.
You would, no doubt, be surprised to know
what some of your friends say behind your
back.
With all our talk about charity and helping
•our fellow man, few of us ever hurt ourselves
by generosity.
The well-known human race could get along
better if it were not for some of the human
race.
A genius is an individual who has sense
enough to get along with less fortunate human
beings.
Contrary to most shining examples, it is pos
sible for an individual to be healthy, wealthy
and wise.
Food experts recommend five small meals
a day -as if anybody is able to buy enough
for five small meals.
THE HURRICANE SEASON
The hurricane season, according to the Weath
er Bureau, is here. It opened officially on June
15th, and on that day the U. S. Weather Bu
reau's hurricane wire circuit came into oper
ation.
That wire circuit extends from Galveston Tex
as, along the Gulf and around Florida, and up
to New England. Government weather obser
ers say that a storm on May 28th threatened to
become a hurricane, but never quite reached
that stage. It is known as storm Arlene, and it
drenched Louisiana with some nine and one-halt
inches of rain, though its winds never exceeded
fifty miles per hour.
A hurricane contains winds of at least seventy
five miles per hour, and usually covers an area
of several hundred miles. Last year anly one
hurricane seriously affected the U. S. mainland,
II caused some six to eight million dollars of
damage in the Carolinas.
While the warning system has improved some
what in recent years, it is still something of a
guessing game, and from now until November
15th, when the hurricane season officially ends,
citizens in the eastern part of the United States
should pay close attention to hurrican warnings,
and take* necessary precautions even if they
storm is within striking distance, but not ex
pected to cause trouble.

Ranger, Edward L. Wright
With summer here, we find our
selves getting out of doors more
and more each week to take ad
vantage of the various forms of
recreation that our forest provide
■lyi However, it will pay us to
take a closer look at our trees
during this time of the year when
insects such as the southern pine
and black turpentine beetles are
doing their most destructive work.
The southern pine beetle is a small
insect, approximately one eight of
an inch in length and reddish
brown to black in color with a
small groove in the front of his
small head. In comparison, the
black is a big rascal, one quarter
to three-eights o fan inch in length
dark brown to black in color.
The southern pine beette usually
attacks the upper and midbore of
trees. However, it may attack as
low as three or four feet from the
ground. The first evidence of at
tack is the formation of srttall
pitch tubes, followed by fading
foliage and a sprinkling of reddish
boring dust in bark crevices.
The black turpentine beetle at
tacks only the lower part of the
trunk from just below the ground
line to eight or ten feet above
ground line. So you see there is
an overlapping of attack between
the two beetles.
Drought, fire and overcrowding
may lead to southern pine beetle
attacks. Mature and over-mature
timber is very susceptible, although
young stands suffer too. The black
beetle is attracted to damaged
trees and fresh stumps. They fre
quently attack trees around build
ing sites, as they are attracted by
odor of fresh lumber. A dozen
pitch tubes on the trunk means
serious trouble from insect attack.
