Rising Fawn HD Club Has Christmas Party With Many Events The Rising Fawn Home Dem¬ onstration Club met Tuesday flight, December 19, at the home of Mrs. H P. Dean with Twenty members and one visitor pre¬ sent. The house was decorated with all Christmas fixtures and a tree with lights, the mantle was lined with pine, an angel in the center and bubble lights, low coffee table with snow scene, radio cabinet with tree of color¬ ed balls, while the other mantle was snow covered with Santa Claus and sleigh on it. It was all very pretty. The group was called to order by the President, Mrs. Dewey Bradford. Mrs. L. M. Allison read the Christmas Story which was taken from St. Luke, and then we had the Lord’s Prayer by the group. The group sang “Silent Night.” After which they had a short business session and each member gave ideas on Christmas decorations and had the party. The Club had one game with group no. 2 winning the prize, a big stick of peppermint candy. The Club gave Miss Vestel, the home demonstration agent, Mrs. H. P Dean, and Mrs. L. M. Alli¬ son, both former presidents, a gift. Then the gifts which had been placed under the Christ¬ mas tree were exchanged by the members, each being blindfold¬ ed and picking up one. Miss Vestel remembered the club with pretty corsages which she must have spent hours making We appreciate them. We were all very sorry MLss Vestel couldn’t be with us at our Christmas Party. The program was turned over to the hostess and we all marched around the table which was decorated with a small gum drop tree, candle light in dinning room with red candles in snowman holders, and served ourselves. The cakes, which were homemade, were delicious. The hostess Mrs. Dean, and Mrs. M. R. Wilson made the cakes. We welcome new members and visitors and urge all members to attend each meeting. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. A. A. McMa¬ han. Effective Erosion Control Goal of Forestry Program (Brown Co.—AFPI photo) Rapid run-off from rain and melting snow will cause t;o serious osion problems here. Trees are soil protectors. f Erosion control begins at the tree roots. That is why three industry-sponsored movements, now breathing new life into America’s forest future, mean much to soil conservationists everywhere. Keep America Green, the American Treg Farm System and More Trees for America, all sponsored nationally by Ameri¬ can Forest Products Industries, Inc., of Washington, D. C. are dedicated to the principle of pro¬ tecting and producing trees for use. Together these programs spell better erosion control. The dictionary defines erosion as the wearing away of soil by water. Erosion’s effects are evi¬ dent everywhere—muddy rivers swelling up over their banks, hill¬ sides etched deep with ditches, busy dredges sucking silt from harbor bottoms. Erosion’s in¬ roads in the topsoil of the United States, on which 150 million Americans rely for food and fabric, have been severe. » Nature’s chief instruments in erosion control are trees and grasses. Their network of spreading, tangled roots binds loose topsoil, holding it firm against tearing onslaughts of water. Overhead, tree boughs provide shade that regulates the THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY JANUARY 4, 1951 New Salem News Holiday guests of Mrs. Kath¬ erine Moore were: Mr. and Mrs. W.

We live on a three-legged stool: soil, water, and plants, when anything happens to des¬ troy one or more of these legs, the stool topples over. melting of accumulated winter snow. Modern man faces the difficult task of maintaining nature’s effective bulwark against erosion while he harvests the trees end ■cultivates the grasslands to pro¬ vide food, clothing and shelter necessary for existence. The task, while delicate, is by no means hopeless. Science, through developments in land and timber management, is prov¬ ing that man can use the prod¬ ucts of forest and prairie and at the same time control erosion. The solution, from a forestry standpoint, lies in scientific log¬ ging, planned reforestation, ade¬ quate fire prevention and the planting of lands that once pro¬ duced stands of timber. Thes > are activities now being carried out nationally under the banners of Keep America Green, the American Tree Farm System, and More Trees for America. Together these programs con¬ stitute the wood using indus¬ tries’ formula for ccntimu.I forest abundance for American.:.
