Tree Seedling
Orders Should
Be Placed Now
By CARL DENNIS
Forest Ranger
With the opening of the forest
tree seedling distribution season
less than a month away, Newton
County citizens are reminded
that help in ordering seedlings
from the Georgia Forestry Com
mission can be obtained at the
County Forestry Unit headquar
ters. *
Although orders will be taken
after the season opens on all
species that still are available
at that time, we advise that as
many orders as possible be plac
ed before the season opens. This
advice is based on the fact that
Commission seedlings are sold on
a first come-first served basis;
and those who order late may
find the supply already has been
allotted.
Despite the fact Georgia nur
series are producing more forest
tree seedlings than any state in
the nation, the demand often
exceeds the supply.
Trees in Newton County today
are a cash crop. They are a val
uable cash crop, and forestry
market experts predict they will
be an even more valuable cash
crop in 15 years — the approx
imate time it takes for today's
seedlings to grow to merchant
able size.
Order blanks can be obtained
at the Unit headquarters on
Rocky Plains Road. The Unit also
will mail order blanks to those
requesting them by telephone.
Prices per 1,000 seedlings, F.
O. B. nursery, are as follows:
Slash, Longleaf, shortleaf, and
loblolly pines, $3.00. Yellow pop
lar, Arizona cypress, and Red
Cedar, $6.00. Black locust, $2.00.
Species which will grow well
in the County are loblolly and
shortleaf.
BETTER HOMES
SAME PRICE
House hunters wili have an
easier chore this fall. New house
prices will stay level, but you
an expect to get more for your
noney. The “more” will be more
quipment (dishwashers, garbage
rinders, air conditioners) and
pace. The trend is toward three
nd four bedroom houses with
basements.

Important for Citizens To
Know, Observe Forest Fire Laws
By CARL DENNIS
Forest Ranger
Newton County citizens are
requested to know and to ob
serve Georgia’s forest fire laws.
This is especially important at
this season. The fall season is
upon us, which means that many
trees will be shedding their
leaves, and what little green
grass there is, will, of course,
dry up. These conditions make
burning a dangerous operation.
With all this dry matter on the
ground, fire can spread rapidly.
Too many persons in our
county still are unaware of the
laws designed to protect their
forests. Forest fire damage could
be considerably decreased if the
public knew and obeyed the fire
laws.
Any person who allows fire to
cross from his land onto the land
of another property owner is
guilty of a misdemeanor. Al
though landowners may legally
burn their own land as they de
sire, they are responsible to see
that the fire does not burn ad
joining land of another owner
without permission.
The landowner who plans
burning his own land , is, |
Kiwanis Club
Sends Delegates
To Disf. Meet
The Kiwanis Club of Coving
ton will be represented at the
35th annual convention of the
Georgia Kiwanis District at At
lanta, October 17-19, president
John I. Alford has announced.
Local delegates to the conven
tion will include: John I. Alford,
S. J. Morcock, and Mell H. Wag
goner. Alternates are: Charles
King St., Ed Robinson, and W.
Marcus Bryant.
Delegates from 96 dubs rep
resenting a membership of more
than 5,700 are expected to par
ticipate in the various sessions,
to be held at the Atlanta Bilt
more hotel, convention headquar
ters.
Rev. Sidney Anderson, pastor
Porterdale Methodist church was
the guest speaker at the regular
weekly meeting held last Thurs
day at Legion Home. The speak
er was introduced by Kiwanian
Ed King.
The speaker declared “De
mocracy has grown o«t of the
publie school system, and public
education is a product of the
Christian truth. We cannot leave
the Bible out of schools.”
New Telephone
Features 'Hands
Free' Use
A new “hands-free” tetophoae,
which Includes mierophone-and
lounspeaker arrangements in
addition to the oonventionaL hand
set operation, has been developed,
and is now available.
ft consist* of a telephone in
strument with a built-in micro
phone in the base and a volume
control; a loudspeaker unit in a
separate housing and a small box
containing amplifying equipment
which can be placed in aw oet-of
the-way location.
The instrument may be used to
normal manner if desired. The
user may switch to mike-loud
speaker operation by depressing
a button at the base of the tele
phone. Under normal conditions,
this permits the user to move
about considerably, as the micro
phone will pick up the voice at a
little distance, and the loud
speaker volume can be raised to
the desired level.
Numerous features of the tele
phone should make it one of the
more popular of the special ser
vices offered by the Company.
Some of the advantages offered
by this type of equipment are:
It frees the hands for note taking,
reference to records, etc; enables
several persons to take part in a
single telephone conversation;
allows considerable freedom of
movement, to get papers from a
file for example, without inter
rupting the conversation; elimi
nates the tiresome need of hold
ing the telephone for lengthly
cail, for the handset remains in
its cradle during loudspeaker
use.
In the home, it permits several
members of the family to join in
a call enables the housewife to
continue baking to wash dishes,
sew, care for the baby, and per
from other household activities
while using the telephone.
according to law, required to
notify all other landowners whose
land the fire might possibly
reach if it should get out of con
trol. This notification should be
given at least 24 hours in ad
vance. Landowners also must
have adequate firebreakers
around the property they plan
to burn.
No matter whether the person
did or did not intend for the fire
on his land to get on another
man’s property, he still is guilty
of a misdemeanor.
Persons in this area also should
realize that any person who will
fully and maliciously sets fire to
the woods of another person
without permission is guilty of a
felony. Conviction for this crime
carries a sentence of from one
to two years.
In addition to obeying the for
est fire laws, a further reduct
ion in fire loss can be brought
about by promptly calling one
of the following numbers when
forest fires are spotted:
Headquarters and tower, 3742.
At night phone:
Ranger, 4252.
Asst. Ranger, 2528.
Tower operator, 2339.

the whole group the ideas and
suggestions brought out in the
discussions.
