THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1958 Conditions in Dade are so acute that we have three trac¬ tors with a crew of three men each from the 7th District office in Rome stationed here in the county right now to help with the many fires which are oc- curing daily. Ranger Hall reports that he is putting out at least four to five fires a day and one day there were five fires at one time in the county. Hall is assisted in his work by Earl Simmons and in the Fire Tower, J. B. Stone. of the dips in the road which obscure an oncoming car. The part of the highway w h i c h goes through the city limits will have curbs and side walks on either side. There were listed 43 people who will be effected in some measure by the work but most of these will not necessarily be for right-of way but for con¬ struction easements. It is hoped work would be ready to start in February.

Adams The launching of the Agricul¬ tural Extension Service’s Six- Step Forestry program was a big success. Nearly 1,000 people at¬ tending the state-wide meeting at Rock Eagle on October 16. However, success of the program itself will depend upon how well the woodand owners of this and the other 158 counties in Ga. practice the six steps of good management recommended These six steps are: Preven¬ tion and Control of Fires. 2. Re- forestration of Idle Land. 3. Tim ber Stand Improvement. 4. | Diversifield Utilization. 5. Good Harvesting Practices. 6. Wise Practices. Comments on step 1 are given below. Step One—The Prevention And Control Of Forest Fires The first step in any forest management program is the pre vention and control of wild fires. If forest lands are not properly protected from fires the other phases of forest management become almost worthless. Much improvement has been made in our fire prevention and fire protection programs but there are still too many wild fires in the county and through¬ out the state each year. Georgia ’has an average of approximately 10,000 wild forest fires each year. These fires damage hundred thousand acres of valu¬ able timberland and in some in¬ stances cause almost complete «r 0c t r .,n addition to the , programs, cause soil erosion, and seriousl hinder our programs of water conservation Our most imp0 rtant Job in ^ "ever ” 8 fires if we are to have a really sound and pro¬ fitable forest management pro- gram, Most Mos of the fires in Georgia are caused by carelessness. The greatest single cause is debris burning. More care must be ex- erc is ed in the burning of trash, hedgerows and other debris, Fire can> at times be used as a tool in forest management, ,-p^gj.g are several good reasons for burning the woods but this burning must be done properly —the right time and under the right conditions. Fire prevention is an excellent beginning for a better forest management program. ton; niece, Mrs. John K. Cure- ton, Route 1; and two nephews, K. D.

(Continued to page 3) WORK ON BUSY BEE PROGRESSES Work on the Busy Bee Cafe is progressing rapidly now. Mon¬ day night a crew worked all night tearing down the connect¬ ing wall and making the place presentable to open on Tuesday as business has gone on as usual during the remodelling. Published Weekly—Since 1901 Study To Be Made Of An unusual amount of inter- est was shown at a meeting held in Trion last week for a study on present and future develop- ments in Dade, Walker, Catoosa and Chattooga Counties. Present were executives from industries in the four counties, lawyers, bankers and officials from the counties, cities and schools. The meeting was sponsored by Georgia Power Company and many of their executives were also present. A movement is in progress through the country for better and more informative planning for cities and counties growth. There is a course for this type of planning Interest Grows In Dade School Project interest is growing as plans progress for the improvement of the Dade County High School campus. At a meeting held Mon¬ day night those present voted that the money could be raised /and the project completed. The number one project is still •the horseshoe shaped driveway, parking areas, proper leveling of i he grounds for drainage and /top soil for the entire area. committee had measured the distance of the driveway the total area of the and reported on the cost of yal different things which be done. No definite plans be made until Thomas G. Willi- .ams, Jr., Extension Landscape Specialist from the University of Georgia comes to work with this committee on formulating a complete picture of the finish- ed campus. Mr. Williams is ex- pected here Tuesday, Dec. 2. The committee ... on fencing , . also was not able to give a complete cost figure for lack of time. They had found articles and asked about various types of fencing used on school grounds They re- ported on how many feet wou d be needed and how tall it would have to be for the enclosing of each area. They had procured one firm’s estimate on a com- pieted job. As there are other possibilities more investigation will be needed on this. The committee on stands had also done a lot of research. The tort varies considerable on how many rows tail and how tar off the ground the first row of stands are to be and of course hCA many seats wou d b needed. H , The committee on the gym also gave a report. Again no de- finite cost figure could be reached as the size originally planned does not now meet the state requirements for a school physical educational program. This is now required for a school to stay on the accredited list. After estimate figures were added, and throughly discussed by the entire group, President A. L. Dyer called for each of these committees to meet with the Executive Committee in or¬ der to come to definite plans that the project might get started. The next meeting is set for Wednesday, Dec 3, in the Dade County High School Library at 7:30. All interested in helping with work, ideas and money are invited to attend. NUMBER 48 County at Georgia Tech. Prof. Little, who conducts this class, seeing the growth coming to northwest Georgia and the tremendous in- crease in population during the past five years (better than 70% for each of the four counties) asked if these four counties would like to have several of his students make a survey. These students have already received their bachelor’s degree from col- lege, some have already been out working in this type of work and all are back at college work- on this for their master’s degree. The studies include: 1. The strength and weaknesses of the local economy. How the money is made and could be made in (the future, that is, what kinds of businesses or factories would have a chance for making a success in the area. 2. The population increase or decrease expected. 3. A study of the pre¬ lSent; roads and highways used as a mearu °* increasing busin ess and growth of population. 4. How the land is now used, which places are better suited for industries or residences. Prof. Little asked the county officials what they considered their biggest problems and all four commissioners put the pre- ■ sent rax Structui e and the County Schools first.
