Bugs Slow Down
An October survey of Northeast
Georgia’s southern pine beetle infested
forests indicates a slow up in the insects
movement.
Ray Shirley, director, Georgia
Forestry Commission, said that from
now until the next growing season is the
time which can be best used to salvage
the brood trees, trees in which the in
sects are holed up.
The October data indicated that for
every three red topped trees there is one
green tree infected. In September there
was one and one half green trees infested
for every red topped tree.

Patrol Chief Says
Crackdown On
Newly nominated State Public Safety
Commissioner Colonel J.H. Cofer vowed
today that the Georgia State Patrol
would bring out every resource in the
Safety Department to rigidly enforce
existing speed limit laws in the State
following an order from Governor
Jimmy Carter for the State Patrol to aid
in the state’s plans to conserve energy.
Colonel Cofer said he was directing the
Patrol to make increased use of radar
and Vascar speed timing devices in
issuing speeding citations. Additionally,
he said he was directing state troopers to
put more emphasis on speeders during
routine patrols.
“Not only will our stepped-up en
forcement of speed violators help in the
conservation on gasoline, we would also
expect to make a drastic impact on the
death and accident rate in Georgia,” he
said. Georgia highway fatalities are
running less than 1 percent under a year

Are You A Rusty Nail?
A strong horseshoe magnet
may be held over an old rust
eaten shapeless nail without
meeting any response. A
bright-ringing nail will leap to
the magnet, attract another,
and through it, draw another
nail until several are at
tached.
This is how Christians are.
A real genuine active, shin
ning Christian has a
tremendous attraction to
Christ, is magnetized with
love and purity, attracted by
his power. And through that
Christian, Christ can draw
others to Him to share the
same power and attraction.
But a rusty, unpolished,
corroded Christian, cranky,
defiled, and selfish, has very
little attraction, and through
him the power of Christ to win
the world to himself cannot

Approximately 4,200 cords of wood
have been harvested per week from the
seven county area of Clarke, Elbert,
Franklin, Hall, Hart, Madison and
Oconee since the first of September.
There were 4,458 cords harvested the
last week in October.
Labor has been the limiting factor in
controlling the southern pine beetle.
Through the State Disaster and
Recovery Plan, cooperative efforts of
industry, railroads, State Department of
Transportation and the County Advisory
Boards have resulted in slight increases
in total wood production.

As part of the Department of Public
Safety’s contribution to the fuel con
servation plans, Cofer said all Depart
ment vehicles would be directed to
adhere to the 50 mph top speed suggested
by Governor Carter except where
troopers were actually on official patrol
or were chasing a violator.
He said he did not want to imply that
the State Patrol was out to fill up jails
with speeders but was assuring the
public that less tolerance would be given
persons who violate speed laws.
Georgia’s speed laws state 70 miles
per hour for interstates and 60 for state
and secondary roads in the daytime and
65 for interstates and 50 on other roads at
nighttime except where otherwide

Dear Marilyn and Pat:
I gave Sally my class ring
last year. We broke up and
now I want it back. When I
asked her for it, she said she
was sorry but that the ring
was lost. I think she should
pay for the ring and told her
so. What can I do?
Bob
Dear Bob:
Sally should have been
more careful with the ring,
but you can’t do much about it
now other than ask her to re
turn the ring if she finds it.
Dear Marilyn and Pat:
We have been married one
year and my husband has
gained 50 pounds. I’ve sug
gested that he diet but all he
will say is, “Gee, Dot, you’re
such a good cook. How can I
resist?”
Well, he now has a protrud
ing stomach and I find this
very unappealing. How can I
talk him into taking off a few
pounds?
Dot
Dear Dot:
Tell Hubby that your 20-20
vision convinces you that he
has gained too much weight.
Then your part of the job is to
cook tempting meals that are
less fattening. Buy an inex
pensive calorie guide and plan
meals accordingly.
Why not become interested
in tennis or bowling? Exercise
is a great weight deterrent.
Dear Marilyn and Pat:
My boyfriend is pressuring
me on to more and more
sexual involvement. I’m not
sure I know how to handle
this. He’s using the usual line.
“If you love me, you would.
Everyone else is doing it. Why
not, we’ll get married after
college. And it is good for your
health.”

Cindi
Dear Cindi:
Say NO! Do not be pushed
into any relationship you are
not yet ready for. Tell your
boyfriend that he can prove
HIS love by respecting your
feelings. If he really loves
you, he’ll use a little self-con
trol. If he persists, you don’t
need the problem. And you
might tell him that your
health has never been better.
Forest
Fires
Lessen
Forsyth Countians have
done an excellent job this
year in holding first fire oc
curence to a minimum.
However, this is not the time
for complacency or
carelessness,” according to
Ed Wright, ranger, Forsyth-
North Fulton County Forestry
Unit.
“The fire season is upon us.
This, coupled with the
unusual growth of brush and
grass, due to heavy rainfall
during the year, has built up a
potential forest fire situation
that could become serious
during a prolonged dry
period,” Wright emphasized.
“Fire prevention is
everyone’s job,” the ranger
added, “therefore please
continue to conduct fires
carefully.”
Wright noted that Forsyth
County landowners will
shortly begin setting out tree
seedlings which are
especially vulnerable to fire.
Even a field fire will kill the
young trees.
Remember, our best forest
fire suppression tool is forest
fire prevention.

EYE LASHES
LOOK NATURAL
False eye lashes now look
real. Recent developments have
brought about great improve
ments in the looks of fake eye
lashes. There was a time, not
so long ago, that false eye
lashes often looked false This
is no longer the case.
There are mini lashes which
add a great deal to your ap
pearance, but blend in so well
that they are not noticeable.
These lashes are permanently
curled and contoured. Of
course, there are full lashes for
evening social gatherings These
are also usually very real look
ing.
Changing your hair coloring
is as easy as switching your
eye lashes. Why don’t you try
another color? Hair color
should be applied only by pro
fessionals. Telephone now for
an appointment with one of our
hair stylists.
