All America has set aside this month in recognition of the great

more than 200 million between
now and the year 2000, unpre
cedented numbers of Americans
are expected to seek outdoor
recreation in forests during the
years to come.
A practical approach to this
and other population needs is
being advanced through the
industry sponsored tree farms
system. While the main purpose
of tree farming is to increase and
perpetuate the supply of raw mat
erial for lumber, plywood and
other necessities, recreation is
an Important by-product.
Forest Industry and other pri
vate landowners have developed
48 million acres of tree farms
in the South—most of them open
to hunting, fishing, boating, bird
watching, plcnlclng and other out
door pastimes. The acreage is
twice as large as that existing
in public parks and other con
ventional recreation facilities
in the region.
Unlike the unmanaged wild
erness where lack of roads and
rugged terrain limits use to hi
kers and horseback riders, tree
farm recreation is both com
fortable and convenient —a pri
vilege that can be enjoyed by the
old and the infirm as well as
hardy outdoorsmen.
Tree farm areas open to the
public are safely removed from
harvesting sites and the recrea
tionist enjoys a plethora of wild
life and ecological splendor. The
existence of access roads and
rest areas makes for a relax
ing experience.

C&MS Plans To Buy
Potatoes For
Needy Families
ATLANTA—The Consumer and
Marketing Service of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture has
announced that It plans to buy
Instant mashed potatoes for dis
tribution to needy families.
Purchases will be made with
funds provided under Section 32
of Public Law 74-320. Ship
ments are to be made during July
and August.
Southern landscape made possible
by tree farming are the Indirect
results of growing demand for
tree derived products.
A host of tree farmers are di
ligently concentrating on planting,
timber stand Improvement and
fire protection because of pres
sing human needs for their har
vests.
The list of necessities produced
from tree farm harvests is im
pressive-some of the more not
abe being lumber, plywood,
poles, newspring, clothing, che
micals, food and beverage conta
iners, medicine, and furniture.
Last year, the region turned
out 7 billion feet of Southern Pine
lumber, 2.4 billion feet of South
ern Pine plywood, three-fifths of
the nation’s pulpwood plus large
quantities of hardwood lumber.
Even so, the growth of Southern
Pine sawtimber exceeded harvest
in 1968 by 40 percent. In other
words, the Inventory of standing
timber increased appreciably de
spite the extent of product de
mand-thanks to tree farming.

LOOK YOUNGER
The Newton County woman who
doesn’t want to look younger than
she looks is rare. It is possible,
you know, to subtract five or ten
years from your apparent age.
Os course, the two best friends
any. woman can have are a youth
ful spirit and good health. What
woman often forget is that age can
be elegant. That’s right. Mat
urity offers an elegance that the
younger woman doesn’t possess.
Grey hair is often a feared sign
of showing age. It doesn’t have to
be. Permanent color works and is
acceptable. Or you might want
to use a lighter color than your
original color. This often gives
a softer look. Never forget that
well-groomed grey hair can be an
asset rather than a liability.
Makeup should change as skin
tone changes. Every woman
should carefully analyze her
makeup. It’s not a bad idea to
have someone analyze your make
up for you. A mirror, natural
sunlight and glasses, if you wear
them, are all you need for self
analysis. Too much makeup can
result in harshness. Softer
shades and less makeup, never an
absence of makeup, are best for
an older person.
Color can be your best friend.
Don’t be afraid to use it in your
wardrobe planning. Warm beige
with pink rather than beige tones,
greys, pastels, and reds are ex
cellent for a person with grey
hair. Many women, who in their
earlier years could not wear
red, find this an exciting color
to wear and enjoy. Some colors

farming to the national welfare
came into sharp focus recently
when the federal government set
housing goals of 26 million new
units for the next ten years to
meet expanding population needs
and help solve sociological pro
blems affecting the nation.
The government also warned
it is Imperative to increase the
availability of lumber — which
forms the structural frameworks
of most homes — if these goals
are to be met.
This calls for further major
extensions of tree farming —a
prospect strongly bolstered by
formation last week of the So
uthern Forest Resource Council
to implement the most ambi
tious program of timber reso
urce development in history.
This plan, co-sponsored by So
uthern Pine Forest Farmers, so
uthern Hardwood Lumber Manu
facturers and American Plywood
Associations, proposes new
incentives for small landowners
which should create many more
tree farmers. With nearly 200
million acres of forestland, the
South can accommodate four
times as many tree farms as it
has today.

are best avoided, too. Among
them are hot pink, electric blue
and pea green.
Fabric texture shouldn’t be for
gotten either. Crepes, lace and
sheer wool are soft and becom
ing. Tweeds and other fabrics
with a harsh or crisp texture
are not the best choices.
Design lines of garments are
important too. Low necklines,
sleeveless dresses and fitted
waistlines, point out age rather
than conceal it.
The art to dressing for a youn

conceal and camouflage.

BLACKBERRY TIP
School is out and Newton Co
unty boys and girls, and some ad
ults too, will soon be making their
annual trips to pickblackberries.
Too bad many folks think this
is the only time they can enjoy
fresh blackberries. It doesn’t
have to be the case.
Miss Nelle Thrash, Extension
home economist - food preser
vation, at the University of Geor
gia, has recently prepared a new
publication which tells how you
can have blackberries everyday
even though the fresh season is
relatively short.
The publication is entitled
“Processing Georgia Black
berries Into Convenience Foods.”
In it Miss Thrash tells how to
freeze, can, preserve and make
jellies, jams and gourmet spec
ials with fresh blackberries.

When he was asked about his
gardening technique in growing
these large cabbage his reply was
that he dug the ground by hand

National Forest
Timber Cutting
Opposed In Ga.
A proposed bill to increase
timber cutting on National Forest
land at the expense of wildlife
and scenic values has been heavi
ly criticized by Georgia conser
vationists.
The legislation would require
most proceeds from the sale of
timber on federal forest lands to
be used exclusively for programs
of increasing the timber harvest
through such practices as remov
ing slower growing hardwood
trees to encourage faster grow
ing pines.
Sponsored by a national timber
lobby group, the legislation has
been actively opposed by most
national conservation organiza
tions as a threat to both out
door recreation and natural beau
ty.
Identical copies of the bills
have been introduced by three
Georgia Congressmen, Repre
sentatives Ben Blackburn of At
lanta, Robert Stephens of Athens,
and Elliott Hagen of Sylvania.
The legislation drew immedi
ate criticism from James L. Ad
ams, the executive secretary of
the Georgia Sportsmen’s Fede
ration. “I believe it would be a
tragic mistake to turn over Na
tional Forests over to private
industry to exploit them as they
see fit without due regard to these
natural resources,” Adams said.

This swamp is well known natio
