by the City of Covington and New
ton County to buy fire truck (tan

tanker with the necessary hose,
etc. could be purchased for some
$12,000 to $14,000. Heexplained
that the present fire fighting
equipment of the city could not
be used to fight fires in the rural
areas of the county.
A lively question and answer

The wood A-frame is a stream
lined, modernized version of the
ancient Indian tepee.
Used for a variety of struct
ures ranging from lofty churches
to modest vacation homes, the A
frame is simple, dramatic and
economical. Diagonally erected
lumber beams converge at the
roof apex under a canopy of wood

Timber Owners Get Tips On Tree Killers
A killer is on the loose in
Georgia’s forest.
Timberland owners across the
state will find natural as well as
planted stands of pines and other
coniferous trees destroyed if
steps are not taken to eliminate
annosus root rot, the killer.
According to B. R. Murray,
Extension forester, and Dr. Wi
ley N. Garrett, head of the Ex
tension plant pathology depart
ment at the University of Geor
gia, annosus root rot disease is
caused by the fungus Fomes an
nosus and it destroys the root
systems of pines and other coni
ferous trees.
To assist the state's timber
land owners combat this disease,
Mr. Murray and Dr. Garrett have
prepared a new publication con
taining the latest research infor
mation on annosus root rot con
trol. Entitled "Annosus Root
Rot In Planted Pine Stands,”
the publication offers tips on id
entification of the disease and
its prevention and control.
"Once the disease has become
established in a stand of planted
pines, there is no known control,”
Dr. Garrett said. However, there
are ways to minimize the chances
of infection, particularly through
freshly cut stumps, he added.
Infected trees either die after
the majority of the roots are de
stroyed or they may be blown
over after the roots on one side
of the tree are destroyed.
Interested timberland owners
may obtain copies of this new
Cooperative Extension Service
publication at local county Exten
sion offices.

Walk Extra Mile
To Lose Weight
Want to lose ten pounds in
the next year?
One way you can do it is to
walk an extra mile every day.
The American Medical Asso
ciation’s home health book. To
day's Health Guide, reports that
a walk of just an extra mile per
day for 36 days is a ''simple, pleas
ant device for shedding an extra
pound of fat.” In a year this
would mount up to about ten
pounds. The extra mile means
just that—a mile of walking in
addition to the customary walking
you now do each day.
Once regarded as a major fac
tor in losing weight, physical ac
tivity was later accorded less
importance. It was realized that
considerable effort was required to
shed even one pound of extra
tissue. Would-be reducers found
comfort in some expert opinion
that calories expended through
exercise would be immediately re
placed, due to an automatic in
crease in appetite.
Fortunately for fitness as well
as for fatness, exercise has been
restored to grace and enjoys re
spectability. Exercise helps expend
calories; within the usual range of
activity, it need not stimulate ap
petite excessively. The energy out
put required to offset a pound of
fat is approximately 3,500 calo
ries, but the weight need not be
lost all at once.
Instead of the exhausting,
often impossible, 36-mile hike
within a span of hours, a walk
of just one extra mile a day for 36
days will get rid of that extra
Thursday, January 25, 1968
pound. Weight gain usually is rel
atively slow, and the extra mile
will—for most of us—help keep
our weight down to a reasonable
figure.
Exercise also furthers physi
cal, mental, psychological, and
social fitness. It provides an outlet
I II 1
I
for emotional tensions, promotes
self-confidence, wholesome social •
activity, and good sportsmanship.
It enhances the sense of general
well-being that enables us to con
front and master a reducing regi
men.
To be effective for both
weight reduction and for general
physical conditioning, exercise
must be a regular part of your
way of life, and not something
that is overdone spasmodically.
So, if you want to lose ten
pounds in the next year, just ar
range to walk that extra mile
today.
