CLEAR SKIES MEANS TALL TREES While in conversation with prominent farmer of Dade ty last week, he remarked the clearness of the sky, and the brightness of the sun; which is unusual for this season of year, when there is a pall smoke covering the valley, giv¬ ing a smoky period we usually call “Indian Summer.” What causes this remarkable clearness of sky? The answer is easy; there are few forest fires raging on our hills and mountain sides, de¬ vouring our forests and killing the young trees that would soon grow into merchantable timber. For these clear skies and this conservation of our valuable forests, we have to thank the State Department of Forestry, which has established a forest conservation unit in every coun¬ ty within the state, and Dade county’s own capable forest ran¬ ger, J. C (Buck) Pace, and his trained crew of fire fighters, who are always alert in scanning the sky for the appearance of smoke, that denotes a forest fire. Although handicapped by a small number of assistants, Ranger Pace is doing a good job, and by the efforts of his trained crew, is saving the owners of our timberlands thousands of dollars annually . It is the duty of every citizen in Dade county to give assist¬ ance and encouragement to Ranger Pace, in promptly re¬ porting all forest fires, for this is a public-spirited duty we owe to him and our neigh )bors. MUTUAL HELPFULNESS DADE COUNTY MODEL The preamble of the Consti¬ tution of the American Legion contains this phrase: “to conse¬ crate our comradeship by devo¬ tion to mutual helpfulness.” The fact that this can be a vital idea, and not mere words, helped one Legionnaire out of a sad situation early (very early) on the morning of November 11. According to Doug Thomas, who is accepted as authority on the subject, barbecued meat should be cooked slowly for a long time. That is why a task force was at the Legion Hall the night of November 10 pre¬ paring for the barbecue dinner on Armistice Day. It rained. The rain started by being awful and steadily got worse. Two young GIs, Freddy Morgan and Jack Raulston, climbed the trees around the barbecue pit, and stretched a tarpaulin over the pit, disre¬ garding the stream of water running down their chests. After midnight I started to Sulphur Springs to get Doug Thomas, the barbecue chef. It still rained. When we started back about two o’clock the rain had soaked into the car so that the feeble battery wouldn’t start it. In shoving off, we headed down the road towards Cloverdale. Doug said “Just go on this way, the road is all right.” His skill as a barbecue artist is proven, but I don’t accept him any more as an authority on roads. When we began to run into water he ORINlt UADI-MAM THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, 1HL RSDAN, NOVEMBER 28, 1946. LODGE DIRECTORY TRENTON LODGE F. & A. M., 179 OFFICERS R. C. Gilliland, W. M.

I waded out through water slightly above my knees and found a house, The victim was ,Grady Hawkins, a member of our Legion Post. Grady stood on the porch quite awhile, watching the downpour and talking about his corn crop go¬ ing down the creek, but finally got up his nerve to the point of heading for the barn. We har¬ nessed a pair of competent- looking gray mules and headed for the creek. When we waded into the water it didn’t make much difference. The creek wasn’t any wetter than the rain. The water had risen a- bout three inches, and was above tlie tloor boards. The mules pulled us clear of the water and then quit. I didn’t blame them. We took the mules back to the barn and Grady got out a light truck, but we couldn’t get the soaked car started. It still rained. Grady volunteered to bring us to Trenton in his truck, and we arrived at the Legion Hall a lit¬ tle behind schedule, but not too late. The charge for dragging us out of the creek? No charge. The taxi fare to Trenton? No charge. Legionnaires are pledged to Mutual Helpfulness, but a fel¬ low who can take that large of it at two-thirty on a rainy morning really has it in his system. A few hours later Henry Ken- iiner brought the drowned car to my house . . . Charge? No Another Legionnaire. IT STOPPED RAINING. Mutual Helpfulness in this was not confined to of the Legion.

The success of the sale of the car, and the dinner on Armis tice Day, gives the Legion a of relieving a headache several years’ standing in finishing the interior of the Le¬ gion building. For the next step the building committee plans to organize an old-fashioned work¬ ing party, when materials are ready. As we get in shape to need less done for the Legion, the Legion can do more for the com munity. * Mutual Helpfulness properly applied, is a force that can reach any objective we set for ourselves.

"TURNING OUR RAW MATERIALS INTO FINISHED GOODS AT HOME MEANS EXTRA DOLLARS... says Mr. Robert W. Groves, President Savannah Port Authority and; Industrial Committee of Savannah, Inc. "A sure way to put more dollars into the pockets of Southeastern people is to process more of our raw materials into finished products at home” says Mr. Groves. "Wages paid out for the processing of field crops and woodland harvests exceed the value of these raw materials themselves. When these wages, as well as the original cost of the harvest, are turned into our communities there are many more busy dollars to pay calls on all kinds of business. 1 ulpw ood is a good example. It has long been a source of extra income for farmers and woodland owners. Now that we have our own Southeastern plants for converting pine in¬ to paper, paperboard, bags and boxes, it is a source of extra income for the community.” Plants like Union Bag & Paper Corpora¬ to share in the better business it brings. tion, which not only obtain their raw Folks in the Southeast cul¬ can go on material at home, but also process it at tivating increased harvests of pulpwood, home, place millions of new dollars in knowing that their wood is creating circulation and give the greatest number business, employment, and for of people opportunity wages an their neighbors, too. ould like know t you to how pine becomes paper? ’ r Send for this short pictorial description.
