Warning Is Issued
On Fires In Woods
Georgia is now in the midst of
one of its two annual forest fire
seasons. J.M. Tinker, director of the
State Department o f Forestry,
urged special caution this week in
the use of fire in or near timbered
areas. The burning of brush or pas
tureland should be carefully super
vised, he said and special pains
taken to prevent the spread of the
flames into stands of trees.
“We have already had some ser
ious fires this fall,” Tinker declar
ed, “but on the whole, the state is
showing an improved attitude tow
* ards its forests. With state-wide
ibrest fire protection, which may be
approved by the legislature in Jan
uary,we may soon be able to reduce
7 our yearly slo,ooo,ooofire loss to a
negligible factor.”
Tinker warned again that both
the State Highway Patrol and the
Georgia Bureau of Investigation
were co-operating this season with
the Department of Forestry in ap
prehending setters of uncontrolled
wood fires.
Do Your Part
Motorists are not mindreaders.
They can’t tell when you are go
ing to step out in front of them.
If you are walking, help the
motorist to avoid hitting you by
keeping your eyes open. Don’t
cross streets while reading a
newspaper. Don’t expect motor
ists to see you at night. Head
lights offer only limited vision.
Wear something white and walk
facing the traffic on the lefthand
side of the road. Last year, 175
pedestrians were killed in Geor
gia.
Rain increased road hazards.
Remember that drivers cannot
see clearly through a wet wind
shield. Don’t bury your head in
an umbrella while you walk. You
) are leaving yourself unprotected
as a blind man.
4-H POULTRY RESULTS
Using a homemade brooder
built from old wood, wire and tin,
Edwin Myrick, Schley County 4-H
club boy, lost only two chickens in
raising 100 this year. Edwin sold
the roosters in his flock for $62
and this lacked only 75 cents pay
ing feed costs and other expenses
for the entire flock. The pullets on
hand now will be kept for layers
throughout the next year. Edwin
was one of 600 Georgia clubsters
participating in a chick chain in
1946.

Health Programs
Extended In State
S “Despite acute personnel short
ages, progress is being made in
the extension of local health
work,” according to Dr. T. F.
1 Abercrombie, state health di
rector. Five multiple-county
health departments have been
established this year which will
furnish protection to an addition
al 321,968 Georgians.
Numerous county health of
ficers have extended their ser
vices to surrounding areas which
has helped in alleviating the per
sonnel shortages, Dr. Abercrom
bie said. “For this, they are to
be commended, as the additional
duties have to be added to an al
ready heavy schedule,” the
health director added.
Georgia now has 68.1 per cent
of the population protected by
local health staffs. The remain
der of the State, with the excep
tion of 26 counties, is provided
with public health nursing ser
vice, Health Department records
disclose. Some of the local staffs,
however, are lacking in basic
personnel.
The State Health Department
offers financial assistance to local
health departments on the basis
of population, which varies from
75 per cent of the salaries of
health personnel in counties of
5,000 and less population to 35
per cent in counties over 100,000
population.
