tions—must learn to take pride in
green, growing forests in their
community.”
Ranger Williams pointed out the
housewife’s special dependence on
wood and wood products.
“Wood fibers,” he declared,
“transformed by chemistry into
fabrics, are a basic raw material
for clothing, curtains, carpeting
and other products. To supply this
fiber, thousands of Georgia farm
ars, including many here in Bryan
county, are growing timber as a
crop.”
The ranger pointed out that the
idea of a new dress or a colorful
living room rug growing in the
forest may seem novel to many,
but a view of the store windows
along the main street of Pem
broke, will quickly reveal dozens
of household items, as well as
wearing apparel, which had their
start in the forest.
The County Forestry Unit asked
the women of Bryan county to be
especially careful in burning back
yard brush fires and in burning off
left-over brush from gardening
activities.
