THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1959 Georgia Forestry MACON— Forest fire losses dropped to another all-time low in Georgia during the calendar year of 1958 despite an increase in the number of fires, Georgia Forestry Commission Director Guyton DeLoach announced this week. Total losses were 1,500 acres less in calendar 1958 than ill calendar 1957, DeLoach said, and, the average size dropped three acres per fire from 10.18 acres in 1957 to 7.04 in 1958. Forest fires destroyed 49,316 of the 21,094.596 acres pro itected by the 144—county fire control program. This broke the previous record low loss set dur¬ ing 1957 of 50,989. Losses in 1958 amounted to 23 one-hundredths of one per cent of the forest acreage under fire protection. The total number of fires, boosted by a severe fall drought, rose to 7,005 in 1958, compared to 5,009 in 1957. Improved fire detection and suppression met¬ hods were responsible for the 30 per cent drop in the fires’ size, despite their increase in num¬ ber, Forestry Commission Fire Chief J. C. Turner, Jr., said. DeLoach and Turner pointed out that the increase in fires emphasizes the need for more careful handling of fire in Georgians, as well over 90 per cent of all forest fires in the state are set by humans, either unitentionally or through care¬ lessness. criti¬ November was the most cal fire month of the year, 'Turner said, as it saw the fall- long drought reach its climax in Middle Georgia. Forests in area were so dry that DeLoach invoked a ban on all outdoor burning during Thanksgiving week. Rain and snow ended situation shortly afterwards.

Ref.. Tinker officiated at the services and interment was the Tinker Cemetery .at These Southern Railway Dollars stayed home! h THE RAILROAD that "Serves the South" is more than a mass transportation service. vital to the economic development of the young and fast-growing Southland. To the hundreds of communities along its lines, Southern Railway is an important home-town industry, too. Many of the dollars that the railroad receives from its customers in a community never leave town. They "stay home to create fobs, to buy goods and services of all kinds— and to help pay local taxes. Of every $100 the Southern received last year in Revenues, $86.05 was paid out for wages, materials and supplies and taxes. $15 million went for state and local taxes alone. A good share of all of our dollars are stay- at-home dollars that stimulate local business and contribute to the economic well-being jf the territory we serve. Not only is the 8,100-mile Southern System one of the Southland's largest industries. It is hundreds of local industries as well, that benefit the Southern’s friends and neighbors throughout the South. m N SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM WASHINGTON, D.C. • NOTICE OF SALE GEORGIA.
