I they have been pretty hungry
for the last few years with no
pecans.
It's time for gardeners to be
planting their tulip bulbs, iris',
daffodils, and if you did not
plant pansy seed in August, you
might try a few. but the plants
will soon be at your florists.
Fall roses should be planted as
soon as they are shipped to you
now, or on the market . . do not
make the mistake of waiting un
til Spring to plant them. Time
for that rye grass now too . . .
and by all means see that your
bulbs are in the ground between
now and October. If you have
a vegetable garden then it is
now time to plant cabbage, broc
coli. lettuce, kale, turnips and
mustard. I always give my azal
eas. camellias and shrubs a Fall
feeding of an incomplete ferti
lizer . . . you will find that, 014-
14. ordered from usual place, will
not put on new growth, but it
i sustains the plant through the
j cold months and helps it to stand
the winters better. It toughens
| the new growth,
Instead of riding in your car
this fall weather . . . take to the
woods . . . observe the wild
flowers, and make you a wild
flower garden . . they are won
derful things to have, to love and
work with. God's own handi
work everywhere in the Fall
brings as great a challenge as
does the Spring when dormant
trees and shrubs, in God’s own
season come to life again . . .
The leaves of the trees challange
the photographer and the artist
alike . . . yes, this zip in the air
really gives us a new zest for
just living. How we long at this
season for the mountains of
Western North Carolina ... a
place that is more beautiful in
i Fall that any other time . . .
and where when we were young
we climbed every mountain . . .
slid down them in sleds in the
snow . . wei chestnut hunt
ing, packed galax leaves for ar
rangements . . . and where all
those youngester l we played with
then are now grown ups . . and
the ties of friendships there are
priceless.
Your poor office boy! I lost
myself in dreams . . but I awoke
to find that life was not all
beauty . . but D-U-T-Y . . . The
, Boss says he does not know how
lit happened! But right in that
corner stands twelve, one dozen
... BROOMS . . . and they are
MAN sized brooms . . I can’t
hardly lift one of them . . come
and see them if you don’t believe
me ... so you know what I’m
doing while you are watching
the squirrels . . while you are
picking up chestnuts and grazing
upon the beauty of the golden
leaves of the fall . . . I’m . • .
just plain “SWEEPIN UP’’.
P.S. Mrs. Dewey Mann is con
valescing nicely at her home af
ter having two goiters removed
and her many friends are wish
ing for her a speedy recovery.
She wishes to thank each and
every person who sent her cards,
letters, flowers, and for their
sweet thoughtfulness of her dur
ing her illness. This goes also
for Mr. Ed. King, who has re
turned from Emory University
Hospital. His many friends are
delighted that he is at home,
and able to be around a little
. . . also for Mr. John Bob Wea
ver, who after an illness of
several weeks is able to be out
again.

8 Forest Fires
Suppressed
Since July Ist
The wild fire occurance in New
ton County seems to be on an in
crease, Ranger Jones, of the New
ton-Rockdale Forestry Unit, an
nounced today. He said “the
Unit has suppressed eight wild
fires since July the first, this is
double the number for a cor
responding period last year”.
These eight fires burned nearly
six acres of forest land in New
ton and Rockdale Counties and a
bout ten times that much open
land. One of these fires was in
Rockdale County the other five
were in Newton County, he stat
ed.
One fire which burned 3.10
acres was caused by debris burn
ing around a chiurch. Another
which burned 1.30 acres was
caused by the discarded match or
cigarette of some member of a
pulpwood crew. Still another fire
was caused by the members of
a sawmill crew trying to burn
out a yellow jacket nest.
Besides these fires all of which
occured in the rural areas of both
Counties the Unit also assisted on
three wild fires within the city
limits of Covirjgton, Jones stated.
One of these was started in a
broom sedge field by children
playing with - matches. This fire
burned only nine tenths of an
acre but it was dangerously close
to a group of tenant houses, the
ranger said.
The other two fires were start
ed when some unauthorized per
son set fire to a city dump.
Two of these fires were sup
pressed by the Unit on the night
of September 10, these two fires
had not been fully investigated
at the time this paper went to
press. As you can readily see by
comparing these facts with those
of last year, this is going to be
a very bad year indeed for the
forest of Newton and Rockdale
Counties unless everyone be
comes more fire conscious and
careful with every source of fire.
The Newton Rockdale Forestry
' Unit wishes to express its thanks
to the City of Covington Fire De
partment and the Porterdale City
Police for their assistance in re
porting and locating these last
two fires. Without their help
these fires would have burned
many more acres of forestland
and probably several homes.
“All of these fires could and

Jones said, “there was no reason
for any of them” he went on to
say.
“The two fires on the night of
September 10 emphasizes the im
portance of reporting forest fires

finding out about night fires un
less someone reports them to
