On the other hand, when it is improperly used it can become most destructive.. Ran¬ ger, teii us something about the dangers of wildfire. Thank you. You were right about wildfire being man's ene¬ my. It can burn down his home, his church, his school, his busi¬ ness and his woods. Every year about this time wildfire goes on rampage in this section, destroy¬ ing valuable woods and timber. Yes, siii uncontrolled fires are costly. Say, speaking of high costs, what do forest fires take out of the pockets of Georgians? Figures have been complied for last year. Ip d937 forest fire damage amounted to 2 million, eight hundred and twenty-three thousand, eight hundred and two dollars. Well, then, we would be in say.ipg that uncontrolled est fires, hit everybody’s pock¬ et book either directly or indi¬ rectly. You are absolutely right. Well, What is the solution?

Well, the spring season is now with us......Folks do a lot of burning during this time of the year. Now I would like to dis¬ cuss ways of doing this burning safely. All right...... Well, let’s take the clearing new ground, or getting rid brush... A man always ends with a bunch of brush piles thai he’s got to get rid of, so he usuaiiy burns. The secret of keeping his brush fire from be¬ coming a wildfire that gets into his neighbor’s land, is to pick the right day to burn and to the proper 'precautions — Would you give' us a few more details ’oh the' siibjfect of “right ciay” and “proper precautions’’.. First thing is to burn during a wet season. .. because at spring plowing time comes dry weather and strong winds. Then, the smart farmer would clear around his brush pile to stop grass fires from getting out. And he would use several small piles. They’re safer, because they don’t get as hot as one big brush piie .Say, that sounds practical. But don’t let me hold you up. What’s the next step?

THE LEADERS of three railroad unions, rep¬ resenting less than one-tenth of all railroad employees, have called a railroad strike that would paralyze the nation. These leaders refuse to accept a 15% cents an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem¬ ber 1, 1947. This increase was recommended by an impartial Emergency Board appointed by President Truman. This increase of 15% cents already has been accepted by the 19 other railroad unions. But the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and the Switchmen’s Union of North America won’t accept what more than 90% of all railroad employes have accepted. They have called a strike to get more! Unions refuse rules discussion Certain rules changes demanded by these union leaders—which would increase wages still further — were recommended by the Board. But the union leaders want more— they demand that the railroads put into effect ALL the ‘changes they asked for, including those the Board felt should be denied. On top of this, they insist that certain rules changes proposed by the railroads be with¬ drawn—in spite of the fact that the Board recommended them! These union leaders have refused to negotiate except upon these arbitrary terms. Greater wage increase not justified Engineers and firemen are among the high¬ est paid of all employes in America, as figures in the box show. This strike threat doesn’t justify giving a greater increase than other railroad workers received. Emergency Boards are a means provided by the Railway Labor Act in the public inter¬ est to avoid strikes. The President’s Board; /’ u » ftg on THESE KS? m r/ J* <- w Join the Movement s! When forest lands are propertlv managed and protected, they keep on growing trees for tomorrow. Never overlook the importance of seedling i trees. They will become the lumber, plywood, paper and thousands of other products in the years to come. This community needs to keep its forests growing to maintain our industries, jobs, schools. When we keep our forests green, by pre¬ venting forest fires, we are helping make our, community more secure. New England BROWN LUMBER COMPANY Georgia after hearing evidence for 33 days, made recommendations based on all the facts in the case. The railroads have accepted these recommendations. Who’s to blame? Although they deplored so large an extra cost burden, the railroads accepted the report of the Board because they felt it was in the pub¬ lic interest to uphold the spirit and intent of the Railway Labor Act.

In contrast, this small group of railroad union leaders are attempting to flout the intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act, and dictate their own terms. They have dictated a paralyzing railroad strike. You will be the victim! How long will the American public stand for the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive use of the right to strike and the disregard of the obligation to provide transportation? How long can the American people permit a few dictatorial union leaders to defy the processes provided for peaceful settlement of disputes? Force seldom produces settlements that are either fair or lasting. Moreover, a point is often reached when personal interests must be held subordinate to the greater public welfare. That is why the railroads have ac¬ cepted the Emergency Board recommenda¬ tions. That is also why the leaders of these three unions should reconsider their decision to call a paralyzing strike.
