need three things: heat, fuel and
oxygen. To put out a fire, you
must eliminate one of the three.
Heat travels in three ways: ra
diation, conduction and convect
ion. The main thing to remember
when you discover a fire is to
call the fire department and try
to get everyone out.
The different knots used in the
fire service were covered and
how to rope off an area to hold
back a mob.
The first aid portion of this
course is based on the American
Red Cross and the Scout First
Aid Merit Badge requirement.
This portion of the training was
opened to the Boy Scouts. Mr.
Loyd demonstrated the use of the
Emerson Resisator, mouth to

Recognition of shock and its
treatment were taken up, along
with the four different types of
cuts: laceration, incision, ab
rasion and puncture. This led
to the different type of band
ages and splints which were ex
plained and demonstrated tho
roughly.
I would like to point out that
each explorer is required to
demonstrate his knowledge and
ability on every subject covered.
We Explorers of Newton-
Rockdale District along with our
District Advisor, W. V. Eller,
would like to express our thanks
for the time and effort Chief
Floyd and Mr. Loyd have put
into this program which will
benefit our community for years
to come.

lanced budget.
“I have presented to the Ge
neral Assembly an appropri
ations bill which, if enacted, will
provide one billion, six hundred
and sixty-two million dollars to
finance the services of our state
government.
“This bill is based upon anti
cipated revenue and anticipated
surplus and is not predicated
upon a tax increase.”
Regarding his efforts to meet
Georgia’s educational needs, he
said this:
“No one knows more than I
that a Georgia of liberty, pro
gress and prosperity Is depend
ent upon improved education.
"That is the goal of the Mad
dox administration.
“I have proposed an expendi
ture for public and higher edu

next two years, an increase of
$252-mlllion over the current
biennium. This represents the
largest single increase and the
most far-reaching advance in
the history of public schools and
higher education in Georgia.”
After detailing what his pro
posed budget would do for the
various departments and agen

vices to the people--and virtually
all of them would receive sub
stantial budgetary increases —
Gov. Maddox said:
“As businessmen, I know you
share my great Interest in new
jobs and new payrolls. This Is a
primary goal of the Maddox ad

at any time, to seek new indus

successful salesman.
“I want all Georgians to join

to people everywhere, so that we
can attain our rightful position
among the industrial and tourist
states of the nation.”
