more telephones are added. As new
numbers go into service, they must
be Included In the next directory.
He said that it is a fascinating
job and one that’s probably a great
deal more complicated than most
people realize.

The sixty-ninth anniversary of
Arbor Day in Georgia will be ob
served on February 19th,
This day has been set aside by
proclamation of Governor Ernest
Vandiver for the people of Georgia
to recognize the value of our vast
tree crop, by giving their support
and taking part in the protection
development perpetuation of our
great forest resources.
A. R. Shirley, Georgia Forestry
Commission director, states “we
must keep in mind that the forests
of Georgia and products derived
from these forests are essential to
the livelihood, well-being and re
creation of the citizens of our
state”. "In the future you will be
proud of the active part you have
taken in growing tomorrow’s forest
crop today” Shirlev added.
Arbor Dav had its beginning in
Georgia in 1890 when the Georgia
Legislature wrote into law the
ways and means by which we cele
brate our state’s Arbor Dav. Then
the General Assembly, in 1941, set
the date for Arbor Day as the
third Friday in February.
Following is the Governor’s pro
clamation:
WHEREAS: Georgia’s forests are
one of her greatest natural resour
ces, cover two-thirds of the land
area of the state, and constitute
the greatest agricultural crop of
the state: and
WHEREAS The state’s woodland
nrovide the raw materials for manu
facturing operations which return
to landowners and industry more
than $750,000,000 each year; and
WHEREAS Conservation and
wise utilization of forest products
becomes increasingly important to
our state and community; and now
THEREFORE I, S. Emset Vandi
ver, Governor of Georgia, do here
by proclaim February 19, 1960 as
ARBOR DAY in the state of Geor
gia and do hereby call upon and
urge every citizens of the state to
give attention to this observance
and at all times support, aid and
take part in the protection, develop
ment and perpetuation of the great
forest resources.
Heart Diseases Cause
Most Deaths
Heart diseases were responsible
for 53 3 percent of all deaths in
Georgia during 1958, more than all
other causes combined, the Georgia
Heart Association reported this
week.
Figures compiled by the asso
ciation from the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Health indicated
that 17,727 of the 33.349 deaths in
the state during 1958 were caused
by diseases of the heart and cir
culatory system.
Heart deaths in Georgia ranged
from a low of 29.1 percent in
Towns County to a high of 73-2
percent in Quitman County. The
statewide percentage was slightly
above the 1957 figure of 52.8 and
the 1956 figure of 51.9.
Dr. A. Calhoun Witham, presi
dent of the Georgia Heart Asso
ciation. said that the continuing
high rate of heart deaths indicates
the seriousness of the heart disease
problem as the number one threat
to the health and welfare of the
state and nation.
He said that diseases of the heart
and circulation are responsible for
more than 875.000 deaths in the
nation each year, approximately 54
percent of all deaths. In the so
called productive years below 65.
they take more lives than the com
bined total of the next five leading
causes of deaths.
Dr. Witham said that cardiovas
cular diseaes affect more than 10
million living Americans and that
500,000 school-age children suffer
from rheumatic fever and rheu
matic heart disease, and from in-
I born heart defects.
Dr. Witham said that, with the
support of the annual Heart Fund,
medical science has made dramatic
progicss in saving and prolonging
lives of thousands of heart victims
He said research has prpvided
the knowledge needed to prevent
rheumatic fever, control most cas
es of high blood pressure, repair
damaged heart valves, correct con
■ genital defects through heart sur
gery and to develop heart-lung
machines.
Since 1948, America’s heart asso
ciations have channeled more than
40 million dollars into research to
find ways of treating and prevent
ing all forms of heart and blood
vessel disease.
During the 1959-60 fiscal year
alone, the Georgia Heart Associa
tion is using more than $160,000
in direct support of research on
the state and national levels.
Heart Fund dollars contributed
by the people of Georgia make
possible continued research, edu
cational programs aimed at inform
ing the people about heart disease
and community service programs,
such as the state’s 16 heart clinics
and the stroke rehabilitation pro
gram, Dr. Witham said.
“But there is much yet to be
learned about hear and blood ves
sel diseases,” he said, “and we will
continue to need the interest and
support of all Georgians to carry
out this work.
“The best way you and your
family can insure that this worth
while program conflnues is by
supporting the 1960 Heart Fund.
Give to your county Heart Fund
chairman, or send your contribution
to H E A R T, in care of your
local postmaster”, Drr. Witham
said.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
mk. w. m. mcginnis
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home that
can never be filled.
Our hearts is lonely, we miss you
more each day,
Since Gad called you home to
Heaven and left us here so lonely
Friends may think the wound is
healed,
But God only knows the sorrow
That lives in our hearts concealed
We loved you so much and shed
many a tear.
He loved his Church and Sunday
school, wife, children, friends
and neighbors.
£o some day we will meet you in
Heaven,
Where their will be no sad parting
and saying farewell.

WHY FENCES FAIL
Engineers, AES, point out there
are examples of farm fence corner
post failure in almost every county
in the state. They say the failure
may be due to: (1) poor design;
(2) brace too short; (3) brace
pole too light; (4) brace set wrong:
(5) post set too shallow, and (6)
poor quality post and brace.

Card Of Thank*
- •
On February 3rd 1959 I under
went a very serious operation at
Forsyth County Hospital. As my
memory reflects back and I think
of how nice and kind everyone was

Through the medium of this
paper I want to try to express
my appreciation and gratitude to
each and everyon. I wish to thank
the Doctors for their skillful and
tireless work to try to make me
comfortable. To the entire staff
of Nurses who was so kind and
patient with me answering every
call and doing all anyone could do
to make me more comfortable.
I wish to thank all the Ministers
who visited me and offered such
good prayers in mv behalf and
let me ask yoyu all that I still
desire the prayers of you all for
me and mine.
My health is still not too good,
but looking back over the past
year I realize I have a lot to be
Thankful for and I desire the
prayers of everyone that I may
bear patiently whatever the future
has in store for me.
I want to thank Salem and Coal
Mountain churches along with each
individual for all the beautiful
flowers that you gave. They all
meant so much to me, I will al
ways cherish the memory of them
all, and I want to thank all my
friends and relatives who visited
me after I came home for all the
good food and beautiful flowers
you brought me. I just cannot
ever reDav you all,* but I am ask
