HOW “WOODS BURNERS" IM
PERIL GEORGIA’S UPBUILDING
If there are those who wish to
blight the prospects of an industry
that soon can add millions of dol
lars to Georgia's farm income and
open anew era of prosperity for the
entire State, they have only to per
sist in the dangerous and useless
custom of “burning off the woods."
In recent years it has been discov
ered and demonstrated that the
young pine trees of this region ard
the cheapest and, all things consid
ered, the best source of supply for
the pulpwood out of which print pa
per and other products in wide de
mand are manufactured. Asa re
sult enterpriseful investors are look
ing into the Southeast for the estab
lishment of pulp mills and also for
the purchase of lands on which pines
are flourishing or on which they
can easily be propagated. Georgia
has millions of acres precisely suited
to these purposes and is destined by
soil and climate to become one of
America’s chief centers of the pulp
wood industry, provided her natural
resources therefor are duly safe
guarded.
But if these resources are repeat
edly threatend with destruction by
prsons who “burn off” the woods ev
ery year or two, such industries will
not come to Georgia; certainly, they
will not remain here. A prudent in
vestor in the pulp-products field will
no more put his money in a county
where it is a common practice to
start forest fires than he would build
a factory in a city that was without
adequate means or even intelligent
ideas of fire prevention. Evidently,
there are people who still honestly
believe that it is a good thing to
burn the tvoods in order to keep
down the undergrowth or “rough
age." But the least that these can
afford to do, in justice to themselves
as well as to their neighbors and to
the commonwealth, is to look more
■carefully into the question and to
take counsel of competent foresters.

WHEN FATHER PLAYED WHIST
Before the experts went to war o’er
systems, counts and things
And printed books on principles and
quick trick reckonings;
Before wizards fashioned rules
and changed them every day,
Bridge whist was just a pleasant
game tb pass the time away.
I used to watch my father play.
He’d give his cards a glance,
But never stiffened in his chair or
sank into a trance.
And staring at the chandelier ho
never wide-eyed sat.
He’d either bid or pass the hand and
let it go at that.
I never caught him reading books or
studying at night
The way to value thirteen cards and
always have it right.
“Approach" and “force and over
calls" were terms he never used.
He didn’t work at bridge 1 He play
ed the game to be amused.
I never saw him twist and squirm 01
wear his trousers out
Endeavoring to reckon what his part
ner was about.
He’d smoke his pipe and play and
chat and take what tricks he
could,
And what a torture bridge can be he
never understood.

Fire Danger Lurking In Gold Fih
Bowl, Safety Expert Say*
Washington.—Watch your goldfish

Given the aid of the sun, it could

Harold K. Enlows, director of first

near a window the rounded glass can
catch the sun, focus it and produce
“a pinpoint of heat potent enough
to set fire to even a well-waxed
floor."
Spring months, he said, “are the
open season on home accidents.”
He urged care in house cleaning to
prevent “accidental suicides.” En

Milwaukee.—Beware of cuts on

County Medical Society that infec

middle fingers of either hand than
in any other of the digits.
Infections in these fingers are far
more dangerous than infections in
other fingers, also, the doctor said.
A midle finger infection is likely to
extend up the arm, beyond the el
bow and into the body, while infec
tions from other fingers ordinarily
stop before reaching the elbow.

COUNTING
If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have

And, counting, find

That fell like sunshine where it
went—
Then you may count the day well
spent.
But if, through all the livelong day,
You’ve cheered no heart by yea or
nay—
If, through it all,
You’ve nothing done that you can
trace
That brought the sunshine to one
face—
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing
cost
Then count the day as worse than
lost.

CEORGIA BAPTIST PLANNING
TO ERECT NEW $25,000 ANNEX
Anew $25,000 annex, housing 44
more beds, will be erected by the
Georgia Baptist hospital on the south
end of its present building.
Steadily increasing numbers of pa
tients treated annually necessitated
the annex, W. D. Barker, superin
tendent of the Baptist hospital, said.
In 1932, 4,650 patients were treat
ed and in 1934, 5,739 were given
hospitalization. The daily average
of patients was 88 in 1932, and 110
two years later, while for the first
two months of 1935 the number has
been 125.
The annex will cost $25,000 but
some materials and equipment will
be donated. The new building will
adjoin the present plant, and will be
six floors, including a basement, but
will only be 30 or 40 feet long. It
will increase bed capacity to 184.
Construction work will begin soon
after bids are considered and award
ed.

GET PRINTING AT HOME

the money is spent at home by ev

printing at a little less cost perhaps,
pays no taxes here, no license, helps

looks out for himself. This is true

DON’T WEAR ’EM
A story is being told on a woman
who is doing relief work in Barton
county that shows how their educa

She visited a farmer’s home and
inquired about feed for his cattle.
He said he had plenty. “How about
clothing for the family,” she inquir
ed. “We have clothing,” he replied,
“but we need some shorts for the
hogs.” “Quit your kidding me,” re
plied the case worker, “hogs don’t
wear shorts.”—Hoisington Dispatch.

HERE IT IS AGAIN
Every year someone gets up an
other one —and here’s the 1935 ver
sion. You figure it out, if you can:
“Last year I asked her to be my
wife and she gave me a decidedly
negative reply, so to get even I mar
ried her mother. Then my father
married the girl.
“When I married the girl’s mother
the girl became my daughter, and
my father married my daughter, so
he became my son. When my fath
er married my daughter, she became
my mother. If my father is my son
and my daughter is my mother, who
am I?
“My mother’s mother is my wife
and must*be my grandmother. So
being my grandmother’s husband, I
must be my own grandfather. And
there you are.”
THE LAST CHANCE
“Name, miss,” demanded the
traffic cop.
“Desiree Stephanie St. John Del

“I’ll give you one more chance,”
came back the policeman, closing his

FRUITS IN CANS .
PART of the joy of eating fruit
conies from the lovely sur
roundings in which you find it.
What a good time Adam and Eve
must have had in the Garden of
Eden eating the first apple! Even
after they were evicted by the An
gel with the Flaming Sword it
must have been an exceedingly
agreeable memory! At any rate,
their descendants have gone right
on eating apples.
We’re all out of the Garden of
Eden now. We don’t even know
where it is. And unfortunately,
most of us can’t pluck and eat
our fruits In either gardens or
orchards. Someone else does the
plucking in the sunshine and
sweet surroundings, and the best
he can do for us is to see that the
fruit reaches us in our homes with
as much of its original taste and
aroma as possible.
A Swell Job
The commercial canning Indus
try does a swell job for us in this
respect. Who of us hasn’t men
tally glimpsed a branch of apple
or peach blossoms when opening a
superfine can of one of those
truits? Who hasn’t sensed the
warmth and romance of far-off
Hawaii when the lid comes off a
can of pineapple? Who hasn’t . . .
But all this is apt to make us
homesick for leaves and sunshine
and outdoors. Let’s eat some of
the fruit and see how it tastes.
But, first of all, let’s consider
what fruits are available in cans.
The list is There are ap
ples—apple butter, sauce, sliced
and whole —apricot halves, black

How to Serve
Pears
CANNED pears are an appe
tizing product, and all you
have to do is to open the can
and eat them, Bui there are lots
of other things that you can do
with them iu a culinary way. You
can Ep“rinEue them, for instance,
or serve them in salads, or cock
tails, or cobblers. You can make
pies of them, or use them in pud
dings, or make fritters of them, or
bake them. In fact, there are
dozens of ways of serving this
particularly delicious fruit. Here’s
one of them.
Merintjucd Pears: Drain six
canned pear halves (about two
thirds cf the contents of a No. 2
can), and lay them In a baking
dish about two inches apart. Fill
cavities with ono tablespoon brown
sugar and one tablespoon butter.
Beat three egg whites until stiff,
add one-half cup confectioner's
sugar slowly, and continue heat
ing. Add one teaspoon almond
extract, and cover pears com
pletely with this meringue. Bake
in a slow —300 degree—oven for
fifteen minutes, or until a deli
cate brown. Serve hot or cold.
This serves six and costs only
about twenty cents.
A Fine Fruit Salad
And here’s a way to combine
pears and apricots in a fine fruit
salad you will find it hard to
forget:
Chill eight canned pear halves
and sixteen canned apricot halves,
and drain thoroughly. In the
center of a nest of lettuce place a
pear half and flank it with an
apricot on each side. Mash three
packages cream cheese, soften
with a little cream and whip with
a fork until fluffy. Drop a spoon
ful of this in the center of each
piece of fruit, and top with a bit
of stiff currant jelly. Serve with
cream mayonnaise or , French
dressing. Serves eight.*
—black, red and white. There are
cocoanuts, cranberry jelly, figs
from the Orient and Texas, mixed
fruits for cocktails and salads, and
also gooseberries and grapes. Then
there are grapefruit, loganberries,
peaches—in halves and sliced —
pear halves, pineapple—crushed,
sliced and in tidbits plums,
prunes—dry and in syrup—rasp
berries black and raspberries red.
Finally there are rhubarb, strained
fruits, strawberries and fruits put
up in wine for salad. If we got
them all, we would almost have a
regular Garden of Eden from cans.
Take Your Choice
At any rate, we can choose the
ones we like best of all these at
any time in almost any place.
Why not break with habit and try
a few new ones that it hasn’t oc
curred to you to eat before? Take
cherries, for instance, which come
to mind because Washington’s
Birthday occurs in February.
Uere’s an excellent cherry recipe
for cream tarts which will make
a sure-fire hit with your family.
The ingredients are:
2 eggs A few drops vanilla
1/2 cup sugar 1 No. 2 can red
1/3 cup flour pllted cherries
A few grains salt 2/3 cup sugar
2 cups milk r
Beat the eggs slightly, then add
the sugar, flour and salt mixed
together. Add the scalded milk
slowly, and cook in a double boiler,
stirring constantly, until thick and
smooth. Add the vanilla, and
cool. Add the two-thirds cup sugar
to the cherry syrup from the can,
bring to boiling, add the cherries,
and cook gently until the syrup is

in a dessert which is delicious
such as the following Pineapple-
Rhubarb Ice. The ingredients are
t package lemon 1 1/2 cups sugar
gelatin 1 cup crushed
1 cup boiling pineapple
water 4 cups rhubarb
2 cups water 1 cup water
Dissolve the gelatin in the boil
ing water. Boil the two cups of
water and sugar for two or three
minutes, and add to the gelatin.
Cool and add the pineapple. The
rhubarb should be cut in small
pieces and then cooked till very
soft in the one cup of water.
Press through a sieve, and add to
the first mixture. (There should
be two cups of rhubarb juice.)
Freeze in refrigerator trays, stir

A simpler dessert for children
is Peach Junket. Its ingredients
are:
1 package lemon Junket 2 cups milk
One 1-pound can sliced peaches
Heat the milk to lukewarm and
dissolve it in the junket. Do not
stir after dissolving. Drain the
peaches well and lay half of them
in the bottoms of individual glass
cups. Pour the junket over, and
set in refrigerator to chill an
set, being careful not to agits
it, or it will whey. When re;’
