Get Approval
of Candidates
Two Candidates Declare
Willingness to Co-operate
In Every Way.
Two candidates this week de
dared their sympathy with a res
olution passed by Georgia editors
that it is considered an “unfriend
ly” gesture toward newspapers to
use other advertising media and
send requests for “free publicity"
newspapers.
Attorney General Ellis Arnall,
who has declared himself for re
election to h's present office, and
Agricultural Commissioner Co
lumbus Roberts, who has an
nounced _ , , his . candidacy , for .
gov
ernor, both stated they were in
full accord with the resolution.
Commissioner Roberts declared
in a letter to Hon. Roy McGinty,
president of the Georgia Press As
sociation: “It is my purpose to
place ads in the newspapers dur
ing my campaign for governor, as
I believe that this will enable me
to reach a majority cf the voters.
Attorney General Arnall stat
ed: “I believe the newspapers, as
the;, are read and re-read in the!
homes of Georgia citizens, furnish 1
an ideal means for the candidate
to tell his full and complete mes
sage to the people in a manner
which will enable them to meet
issues fairly and without resort'
to prejudice. 1 certainly intend
that the lion's share of my avail
able campaign funds go to the
press for paid political advertis
ing.”
The News has this week en
dorsed the resolution of the Geor
gia Press Association, as follows:
“We join with all Georgia news
papers in considering it an un
friendly act on the part of candi
dates for public office in Georgia
to use other paid advertising me
dia to the exclusion of newspa
pers, and at the same time to re
quest free publicity from newspa
pers.”

FOREST FIRES COSTLY
And speaking of forestry, during
1939 forest fires on National Forest
lands cost the lives of 16 fire fight
ers, a d burned over 357,286 a cres
out of 206.000-000 acres under For
est Service protection, according to
a preliminary forest fire report
made by the Forest Service of the
United States Department of Ag
riculutre- Forest officers fought 15,-
725 separte fires during the year
Losses, were held, however, to less
than two-tenths of one per cent,
or one acre for every 575 acres
guarded. Estimated money damage
to commercial timber and improve
ments was $1,431,845. Forest Ser
vice officials said that the much
greater losses in water-shed protec
tion and potential timber produc
tion cannot be estimated in money
terms.
