Arbor Day Is
Set In State
! Friday, Feb. 15 has been
proclaimed Arbor Day in
Georgia by Governor George
Busbee and the Georgia
Forestry Commission is en
couraging observance of the
day through tree planting
ceremonies, dedications and
other activities.
“It will be an especially
meaningful day for all
Georgians,” Ray Shirley,
Director of the Commission,
said, “as ours is a state truly
blessed with great and
beautiful forests.” He said
an Arbor Day program
outline is being made
available to schools through
the commission and civic
clubs, garden clubs and
other organizations are also
being asked to observe this
special day.
The nation’s first Arbor
Day was celebrated 108
years ago in Nebraska and
down through the years
other states have set aside a
day in which trees are
planted and dedicated on
school grounds, parks and

other public places. Georgia
began participation in 1941.
In his proclamation,
Governor Busbee pointed out
that Georgia’s forests oc
cupy 69 per cent of the
state’s land area and pro
duce raw materials for
lumber, paper and other
wood producing plants which
manufacture a variety of
products now worth annually
about $5 billion.
He said Arbor Day
literature, including a
teachers’ guide, is now
available at forestry district
and county unit offices
throughout the state.
Shirley said, “Trees are a
priceless natural resource
that provides abundant
beauty, recreation and in
dustry in all sections of the
state.” The commission
director emphasized the cur
rent promotion of waste
wood as an economical
energy source and cited that
as another reason for paying
tribute to Georgia’s trees.

SAFETY FIRST
J Safety is a way of doing
things so you will not get
hurt or hurt someone else.
Children must depend on
adults and older children to
teach them what will hurt
and how to avoid mishaps. A
child likes to copy things that
he sees an adult do.
Although modern
medicine has helped to
reduce the number of deaths
caused by diseases in the one
to 14 age group, deaths due to
accidents have continued at
a very high rate. Accidents
account for only about three
per cent of infant deaths but
40 per cent of the deaths of
children from one to four.
Accidents are also attributed
to the cause of death of
children from five to 14 years
of age. Nonfatal accidents
injure over 17 million
children annually. Many of
these are lifetime injuries.
Some of the leading causes
of fatal and non-fatal ac
cidents are, ingestion of food
or objects, being stuck by a
motor vehicle, poisons, fire,
falls, drowning, and with
older children, firearms.
The majority of non-fatal ac
cidents occur during the
summer months when school
is out and children are at
home or at camp.
The best cure for
childhood accidents is
prevention. Around the
home keep poisons,
medicines, sharp items, and
sewing equipment such as
needles and scissors out of
reach. Never leave a young
child at home alone. Before
bathing check the
temperature of your child’s
water to be sure it won’t
scald him. Children should
be taught good safety habits
rather than the parent being
overly protective.
A safe play area outdoors
should be provided for
children. Remove doors or
lids on refrigerators and
trunks left outside. You
might want to consider fenc
ing in a play area for your
child to keep him out of the
way of cars and away from
stray animals or from

wandering off and becoming
lost and frightened. Keep
your children away from
equipment. Letting him ride
on the tractor with you might
seem like a good idea at the
time but what if you hit a
bump?
Each year about 11,000
boys and girls are injured on
the way to or from school. If
children walk they should
cross at controlled cross
ings. If it is necessary to
walk along the road, walk on
the left side facing traffic.
Bad weather can present
special problems. It is wise
for children to wear white or
bright colors or reflective
clothing on dark, cloudy
days.
