Red ribbon winners and their Forest Fire Danger Called Explosive' MACON — The forest fire dan ger in Georgia is now “one of the most explosive situations we have ever faced,” according to Ray Shirley, director of the Georgia Forestry Commission. The long dry spell combined with a buildup of highly inflam mable ground litter and strong winds could result in great dam age to the state’s timberlands, Shirley said. One small spark could set off a fire that might destroy millions of dollars worth of forest trees. The Georgia Forestry Commis sion’s Sixth District, with head quarters at Milledgeville, reports 29 fires since October 1. The Georgia Forestry Center at Macon is located in the Fifth District. The Fourth District with head quarters at Newnan reports an alarming 63 fires in the same period. The Atlanta area is in this district. There have been some 200 for est fires over the state since Sept. 28. Shirley said. Forest rangers have been main taining a close vigil over the timberlands by air patrol planes and lookout towers. .Although the great majority of fires have been brought under control by local county forest units, each smoke investigated might develop into a fire of major proportions. Shirley praised Georgia land owners for their continued coop eration in refraining from outside burning and for reporting fires that do happen. “Without their help, we would face a much difficult problem,” he said. Wildfires have burned nearly 50,000 acres since Jan. 1. The to tal acreage under protection of the Forestry Commission is 22,- 081,213. / YOU \ v / MUST SEE UA HAZARD v\ TO / \AVOIPJT/ Wfe ■ -, ■ s- /i The National Safety Council says: Be sure your wind shield wiper blades and arms are m perfect condition.

Assets of the center located on St. Simons Island are valued at sl,- 250,000.

Two confer ence agencies — the Board of Education and Board of Church Extension-Evangelism — will be housed in the new headquarters building. Construction on the new conference headquarters is expected to begin early next Spring. The three phases for the fund raising campaign will be as fol lows: (1) a laymen’s luncheon on November 13 at Epworth to show South Georgia laymen progress made at the center, (2) district rallies for promoting the Metho dist Center, and (3) a victory Sunday offering to be taken on Easter Sunday, 1962. The steering committee set La bor Day weekend as a tentative date for detecting Epworth-by the Sea. All Methodist property must be debt-free before it can be dedicated.

Dr. Walker of the Methodist Church and Pastor Cecil F. Thom as of the Baptist Church are act ing as sponsors of this youth drive to help the sick children of the world through the United Na tions. Tales out of School By Bernice McCullar READABLE WRITING — Don’t miss the .article Who is Virgil Fry? in the new NEA Journal . . . Current Atlantic Monthly has two articles on education. Some paragraphs may start arguments popping in your community, but they are highly readable . . . Elizabeth Stephenson’s new bio graphy of that strange genius Lafcadio Hearn is absorbing . . . A $2 booklet that is beautifully written, printed, and illustrated is titled QUESTION: What’s a Good Teacher? and is published by the NEA Department of Class room Teachers, The Association of School Administrators, and the National School Boards Associa tion . . . September’s Changing Times, the Kiplinger Magazine, has a thought-provoking article “Your Money’s Worth in School.” NEW MAN HANDLING TEST ING — Hugh Moss is acting di rector of our testing, guidance and counseling program just now. This is one of our important pro grams. Georgia puts about $374,- 000 in the testing and guidance program under the National De fense Education Act. Os this, $314,000 is matched with federal funds for the Bth through 12th grades. This federal money can not be spent for tests in the ele mentary grades, so the states puts another SIOO,OOO in this. The “testing” program really includes counseling and guidance, too. We just call it “tests” for short. This program keeps square pegs out of round holes. It helps your child find out what he can do best and will be happiest doing. Then he can get ready for it. MORE MONEY THAN GEOR GIA — If Georgia had received as much increase in school funds this year as North Carolina did, we could have given our teach ers a raise of SIO9O instead of the S3OO they got. THE LAST STORY "The first storytellers came from the East, and the last story teller of all may be an old man on a Chinese mounain, recounting to his grandchildren, in the few mo ments of life left to him, how he saw a strange cloud in the sky and the earth transformed into a lake of fire,” writes Robert Pavne .n the Saturday Review Georgia Farm Bureau Convention Opens at Jekyll Island Sunday Bookmobile Schedule For Brantley County The Bookmobile schedule for Brantley County is announced as follows: Monday, Oct. 30, Hoboken High School and Hortense Elementary School.

Better Clothing For Milledgeville Patients Needed Milledgeville State Hospital is establishing a clothing facility for the patients. A building has been set aside for this purpose and is being converted into a typical looking clothing store. Racks, showcases, mirrors will be provided, and there will be dressing rooms for both men and women. Patients selected on a basis of need will be allowed to go to the store and make a per sonal selection. This in itself will be good therapy. The Georgia Association For Mental Health is co-sponsoring this facility, as the hospital bud get is unable at this time to finance this new project’. The co-operation of the people of Georgia, through statewide organizations, church groups, in dividuals, is needed and is ne cessary to make the plan a suc cess. This clothing, which can mean so much to so many pa tients, will have to be donated by the people of Georgia. No charge will be made to the pa tient. Clothing drives (apparel for both men and women) will need to be organized on a local level. The clothing should be screen ed for usefulness (this is impor tant.) Clothing should be repaired, cleaned and laundered. Clothing should be labeled for size. Packages (which should in clude some coat hangers) should be sent prepaid to Director of Volunteer Services, Milledge ville State Hospital, Milledge ville, Georgia. Many have asked: “What can I do to help the mentally ill?” One very definite answer is that you can help with this program of better clothing for the patients at Milledgeville State Hospital. Sick clothing does not help sick people get well. For further information get in touch with your local mental health association. If there is no local mental health association, write Ga. Assn, for Mental Health, 209 Henry Grady Build ing, Atlanta 3, Georgia. Tele phone number is Jackson 5-3246.

Allison, Tattnall County tobacco grower who lives near Cobbtown, tested a new to bacco fertilizer for the tirst time this year. The new tobacco grade is 4-8-12 which was recommend ed in Georgia for the first time for the 1961 crop. It is believed, says John B. Preston, agronomist of the Uni versity of Georgia College of Agriculture Extension Service, that this new analysis can replace old grades such as 3-9-13 on soils known to be high in phosphate. Mr. Allison used the new 4-8-12 on one-half acres of his tobac co and on the rest of his crop he used the same fertilizer as in previous years. The rate used on the test plot was 1,500 pounds per acre. The remainder of the crop was fertilized with about 2,000 pounds per acre of 3-9-9 and 3-9- 13. The 1,500 pound rate of 4-8-12 is equivalent to 2,000 pounds of 3-9-9 in content per acre of ni trogen and potash, the agrono mist said. Mr. Allison’s tobacco was set with the White Gold variety the last week in March. The tobacco fertilized with the new analysis ripened well and was harvested in a normal manner. Tobacco from the test plot was equal to or superior in grade and weight to the tobacco grown with the other fertilizers. J. F. Johnston, county agent, Reidsville, says that quite a tew growers visited Mr. Allison’s farm to observe the fertilizer and variety test located there. He says that Mr. Allison consistent ly produces some of the best quality tobacco grown in the county. \<3 n to pH t itnt - in fiu/iat G&o/igia t" Helping re-vitalize the depressed areas which blight our nation is now a major mission o REA, with the grass-roots work to be done tor the most part by the locally-owned Rural Electric systems . . .
