A number of counties have already entered the contest, announced W. Kirk Sutlive, Keep Georgia Green Chairman. The total number of counties entering between now and No¬ vember 15 will depend directly cn the willingness of private ci¬ tizens to . rganize their Keep Green activities and conduct a grassroots program.” The Keep Green chairman emphasied that even though a county may not win the grand prize or the second-place prize of $500, the work done in fire prevention will benefit every¬ one in the community. County interest in forest fire prevention has been boosted by Governor Marvin Griffin’s ‘‘For¬ est Fire Prevention and Keep Green Conference’’ held Octo¬ ber 21 in Atlanta Approxima¬ tely one thousand represent¬ atives fr:m every section of Georgia assembled at the con ference to hear spokesmen from forest Indus'ries, governmental forestry organizations and for¬ estry asociations present the significance of forest fire pre¬ vention The confereence was the largest of ts kind ever held In Gerrgia. It is hoped that dele¬ gates to the meeting will return to their own localities prepared to lead a crusade in Keep Geor¬ gia Green that will counteract the high forest fire hazards ex¬ pected this present fall season. Counties which are ready to oompe’e for the $1000 grand prize should apply to the Geor¬ gia Forestry Association, Room 905, C & S. National Bank Bldg., Atlanta. Georgia.
