Growth Of Tree Protected From Fire Dade County Forestry this week presents a from scientific farm files: Take two healthy, growing trees, each 5 Vi tall and 1 inch in diameter, a Dade County Forest. For eight years, protect No. 1 from the ravages of est fire. For eight years let an forest fire reach tree No. 2. Here would be the results ter following that recipe eight years: Tree No. 1 would have 21 ft. more in height and inches more in diameter cause it was protected fire. Tree No. 2 would have enly seven feet more in and only one inch more in meter because it was each year for eight years. The tree protected from would have nine times wood volume an item which these times of good prices | timber and wood products Is of extreme ance to the Dade farmer or landowner. This novel recipe that when the Dade Fores, ry Unit supresses a fire, the direct, financial bene¬ fits of that supresslon fall to the Cohnty CommissionerSs not to the Forestry Board, not to the Georgia Forestry Com- mission, not to the Unit, but the Dade County farmer and landowner. So vital Ls agriculture in this area's day by day economy, that when the farmer prospers, j ether fellow citizens feel the effects of that prosperity. Keep ing Dade County Green, ulti- mately benefits each citizen In this county. Mrs. Victory Keeton Elected Pres.

This is the highest number of deaths recorded for any week end since 1937, when the first records were set up. At this time last year, a total of 798 persons had died on our Georgia streets and highways. So far this year there have been 772 dea.hs. From November 1st through 15th, one more person has been killed than for the same period a year ago, bring the total number killed so far this month to 44. With twelve or more week end dea.hs prior to Armistice Day week end and twenty-four dead over that week eHd, this mass killing is apparently be¬ coming common experience. Lt. Col. E. S. Burke, Supervi¬ sor of the Patrol’s Safety Edu¬ cation Division, warns than Georgia’s worst period for traf¬ fic death is still ahead of us. December always takes the highest toll of any other month in the year. If we continue the present tragic record, there is no telling how many persons will have died by the end of 1951. Every driver and every pe¬ destrian is urgently reminded that safety is an individual res ponsibility. Accidents don’t just happen; they are caused, and they don’t always happen to “the other fellow.” One out of two persons now living in this country has been or will be injured in a motor vehicle accident before he dies ...unless our present accident rate is greatly reduced. Death and injury can be avoided. Take time to walk and drive safely; obey traffic rules and regulations; and by all means never drive if you have been drinking. It is hoped that Georgians will be awakened to the terrible threat now facing us, and start immediately to drive and walk with greater care.
