LET’S HAVE BOARD OF HEALTH
Danger to Welfare to Community Is
Cited by Writer
The health of the people is the
wealth of our county. I’ve lived
here since 1891 and seen it grow
in wealth, industry, population, but
not in health. Though we have
$2,500,000 in our bank, we are
bankrupt in health.
Overrun with rats, we are in dan
ger of typhus fever, from which we
never wholly recover; we send five
times more TB patients to Alto than
any other county in the state. We
have typhoid, malaria, venereal
disease, cancer and contagious dis
eases, most of which could be pre
vented if we had a board of health
in charge.
A nurse without a board of health
lacks authority to vaccinate, quar
antine, innoculate or to give pre
ventative instruction.
I believe if the proper authorities
would form a board of health, the
physicians in our county would co
operate. I know the citizens would
help the courts to do their duty.
I’ve co-operated with citizens of
Summerville for the last 30 years
in trying to help improve the health
of our city. I believe the board of
health would fill our needs. I be
lieve there would be 100 men in the
county willing to give SIOO each to
get this health program started.

HELPING HITLER
Forest Fires in Northwest Georgia
Are Aid to Enemy.
Special to The Summerville News.
Hitler and his horde of Nazi bums
want all our forests burned. Hiro
hito and his gang of slant-eyed
sons of Satan want the same thing.
They know that our forests are
yielding valuable war material.
They know that our forests when
left unburned are a source of much
food in the form of wild game. They
know that our inland lakes, rivers
and small streams yield much food
in the form of fish.
They know that our forests are
being rapidly depleted of good tim
ber, and that good timber does not
reproduce on areas that are burned
over each year. They know that
small streams and ponds dry up in
periods of drought in areas where
the woods are burned each year,
thereby causing many fish to die.
They know that forest fires destroy
most of the game in the burned
areas. They know that burned-over
woodland absorbs little rainfall and
that in periods of heavy rains most
of the water dashes down into the
ravines and creeks and sometimes
causes floods and untold damage.
Earlier in this war, Hitler and
Hirohito made some attempts to
sabotage us with fire. Hitler land
ed several highly trained Nazis on
our eastern coast, equipped with
several tons of incendiary and in
fernal material. These Nazis were
rounded up and executed before
they had time to do much dam
age. Hirohito also sent some sub
marine crews to our western shores
with instructions to burn our for
ests there with incendiary shells
fired offshore. Luckily our rangers
were on the job and these fires
were extinguished before they
gained headway.
Hitler and Hirohito have little
or no reason to worry about our
forests not burning up here in
Northwest Georgia. In fact, they
have every reason to be laughing.
For some of our people are doing
just as thorough a job of woods
burning as Hitler and the Japs
would do if they had their own
saboteurs on the job. Some people
are kindling forest fires through
carelessness. Others are deliberate
ly setting forest fires with crimi
nal intent. How these people can
willfully sabotage our war effort
and our country while thousands
of our boys are fighting and dying
on the many battlefronts of the
world I cannot understand.
Our Government has ruled that
our forests are vital war material,
and that any one guilty of burning
forests which contain merchantable
timber shall be guilty of sabotage
and shall be punshed for such if
apprehended.
Let’s all get on the job and help
revent forest fires. Let’s think it
over and quit playing right into
the hands of Hitler and his bully
ing Nazis and Hirohito and his
ang of grinning little yellow sons
of Satan.
Some day in the future, our boys
who survive this war are going to
return home. Thousands of them
will want to shoulder a gun again.
Not to kill Germans and Japs, for
that job will have been done. In
stead, they will peacefully roam
.he woods and fields. Will we have
to say to them * * * “Sorry, son,
but there ain’t much in the woodi
and fields to hunt for any more.
While you were away, Hitler and
the Japs wanted all the woods
burned and some people around
here tried to help them all they
could, so most of the game has ei
ther been destroyed or run out by
fire. HUGH G. FORESTER,
Wildlife Ranger.

STOP THE RED-TONGUED ENEMA
Now that “Jack Frost” has come
to pay us his Fall and Winter vis
its, we are enjoying the beauty of
Autumn scenes painted with the
touch known only to Mother Na
ture. But, with this beauty comes
danger—forest fires. These same
leaves that decorate our forests
fall to the ground and become very
dry and inflammable. The grass
along our fields and highways be
comes dry as tinder. A burning
match or cigarette dropped care
lessly into the dead leaves or grass
starts a fire easily, and will destroy
in just a few minutes, timber and
young growth that took years to
grow.
On the Armuchee Ranger Dis
trict, that portion of the Chatta
hoochee National Forest which lies
in Walker Chattooga, Floyd, Gor
don, Whitfield and Catoosa coun
ties, 27 fires have been fought this
year. These fires were burning on
or threatening the national forest
Only one of these fires was caused
by lightning! all the rest were ac
cidentally, carelessly or intention
ally caused by man, and, therefore
could have been prevented; 14. or
over half, of the fires were caused
by smokers dropping burning
matches or cigarettes; 5 fires were
caused by those who burned off
their fields, brush piles and ditch
banks on windy dangerous days or
who burned without taking suffi
cient precautions to prevent the
fires from spreading; hunters and
campers leaving their fires in an
unsafe condition caused 5 fires, and
3 fires were intentionally set.
The damage caused by these fires
and the costs of putting them ou

spark is dead.
3. Always be sure your campfire
and your warming fire are out
dead out—before you leave. Drown
them with water if you can, then
stir the coals and add more water.
4. If you have field and brush
that must be burned off, you should
(a) obey the law and advise your
joining land owners before burn
ng, (b) rake or plow a line around
the field to be burned, (c) don’t
burn on a dry windy day when fire
is dangerous to handle, but wait
until the late afternoon of a day
when there is no wind and the
ground is moist from recent rains,
(d) no matter how light the breeze,
a’ways burn against it.
5. Report fires to your nearest
fire guard or warden.

our boys overseas.”

represents a loss to the public
which could have been prevented if
every one living near or using the
forest had been careful with fire.
R ght now timber is one of our
mo.t critical war materials. When
+ hese f’res burn our woodlands and
forests, products vital to our war
fort are destroyed. The lumber
needed for one single year of war
would build a board walk 27 feet
wide rom here to the moon. Think
it! A 27-foot board walk from
here to the moon! It takes every
effort oi all the men we can get
supplythese needs. They have
no time for fighting forest or
woodland fires, so let’s strengthen
our effort here on the home front
h" preventing these fires. Here
•« some good points to follow:
1. Crush out your cigarette, your
cigar, your pipe ashes. Make ab
solu ely sure they are out.
2. Break your burned match in
