Advertising Rates Made Known Upon Application OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY AND CITY OF CUMMING 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.

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. NATIONAL 101 TO 11A l Wi4iiiN„ioia The Forsyth County News & • 'MM.I 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.
