FORESTS ARE A RENEWABLE RESOURCE -KEEP THEM GREEN
Brunswick Pulp & Paper Co.
Georgia ranks second in the
nation in watershed applica
tions, (158); in watersheds
authorized for planning as
sistance (52); and in water
sheds authorized for opera
tion (44).
The Small Watershed Pro
gram has fostered the growth
of one of the most beneficial
rural development programs
in the history of Georgia, Mr.
Gillis states in the report. In
watersheds where work is un
derway, flood damage has
been' substantially checked,
he says. Good soil is being
kept where it can grow crops.
Dams built for flood preven
tion also store water for towns
and cities, and for industrial
and agricultural use.
^BETTER LIVING FROM TREES
Forest industries provide
nearly 2 million jobs.
You can help insure these jobs \
by preventing forest fires.
Likewise, you can protect
the Tree Farm income of those who
grow trees as a crop.
WOOD WATER
RECREATION WILDLIFE
BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA
Entire watersheds are ren
dered suitable for recreation,
wildlife preservation, and
other developments which
serve the general welfare and
bring prosperity to local areas.
In summary, Chairman Gillis
says, the program means bet
ter overall communities with
higher standards of living.
Entitled. “The Unfolding
Story of Georgia’s Small Wa
tershed Program,” the report
uses pictures and narrative
material to point out that
floods are costly. They wash
out highways and railroads,
sweep away bridges, clog
streams, and pollute city wa
ter supplies.
On the other hand, the re
port continues, the Small Wa
tershed Program results in a
host of benefits for agricul
tural, industry and municipa
lities. Not the least is that the
program contributes substanti
ally to the beauty of the
countryside, Chairman Gillis
says.
Nine watershed projects
have been completed in Geor
gia, according to the report,
and work is currently under
way on some 25 or more at
present. These include:
Bull Creek in Muscogee
County, where a 48- acre lake

tion; Tobesofkee Creek in
Bibb County, with a 1,750-
acre lake for recreation, and
Little Satilla Creek in Wayne
and Appling Counties, with a
250-acre recreation lake.
Important as is recreation
and the other side benefits,
Chairman Gillis points out
that the first purpose of the
watershed program is flood
prevention and the protection
of fertile bottomlands along
streams where 75 percent of
agricultural flood damage oc
curs.

mittee office, 320 Extension 1

My sun,
the clothes dryer
(Wouldn’t you know it’s electric?)
Any clothes dryer will spare you much of the
tiresome toting, stretching, bending of wash
days. Keep you out of backyard cloudbursts.
And cut down on clothing bills by making it
more convenient to wash-and-dry than to
run-and-buy.
An electric dryer does a little more.
Being flameless, it dries clothes evenly,
gently. Leaves them fluffy. Sweet-smelling.
An electric dryer spares you trouble and
expense, too. It has fewer parts. Less main
tenance. Lower purchase price.
And for busy mothers, just one more dry
fact about dryers: All dryers use some elec
tricity. The best use only electricity.
