MENLO BASKETBALL
During the past ball season the
Menlo High school’s girls’ team
has set a record of which they are
proud. In sixteen games that were
played, they won eleven, lost four
and tied one.
Betty Jo Wofford, captain of the
team, was high scorer with 210
points. June Broome and Jessie
Mae Hall backed her in the games
with 107 and 94 points, respec
tively.
Since this is the first year for
most of the boys to play, they have
lost 12 and won 6 games, but they
hold the promise of a much strong
er team next year.
Henderson Jones was high scorer
with 136 points and Ralph Cham
blee, captain of the team, was sec
ond with 130 points.
The last game of the season was
played at Menlo against Summer
ville. Both teams did well, the
girls winning, 31 to 15, and the
boys losing by only one point, the
score being 28 to 27.

REORGANIZATION OF THE
NATIONAL GUARD PLANNED
With two infantry regiments of
the Georgia National Guard to be
mustered, along with a large air
force, a brigade of anti-aircraft, a
tank battalion and a battalion of
field artillery, Adjt.-Gen. Marvin
Griffin has outlined the basic pol
icies to be employed in reorganiz
ing the guard as follows:
“The zoning of Georgia to carry
out the War Department’s general
plan for over-all balanced defense
of the nation.
“The grouping of units geograph
ically so that regimental and bat
talion supervision of training could
be accomplished.
“Where possible to maintain or
perpetuate traditions of old nation
al guard organizations in Georgia.
“Place headquarters and units in
areas where adequate officer and
enlisted personnel are available and
can be readily procured.”*
Gen. Griffin is recommending re
organization of the 121st Infantry
with Macon as regimental head
quarters, and organization for the
first time in Georgia of the 292nd
Infantry, with regimental head
quarters in Atlanta.
The anti-aircraft brigade will be
formed near the coast and up the
Savannah river valley. The 945th
Field Artillery battalion will be as
signed to Atlanta to compensate
her for loss of the 179th Field Ar
tillery regiment. Tank units will be
placed throughout the state.
Cities to be included in assign
ment of the guard units are Macon,
Griffin, Springfield, Toccoa, Atlan
ta, Savannah, Louisville, Coving
ton, Athens, Dalton, Marietta, Ce
dartown, Rome, Calhoun, Milledge
ville, LaGrange, Thomaston, Perry,
Bainbridge, Jackson and Barnes

Tarver on Committee
To Hehabilitate Timber
And Range Resources
Washington, March 19. Con
gressman Malcolm C. Tarver is a
member of the important house
committee on agricultural appro
priations which recently activated
a well-conceived plan to hasten the
rehabilitation of the nation’s war
depleted timber and range re
sources through the establishment
of a system of forestry research
centers to be strategically located
throughout the country one for
each major forest type.
This forestry research program
stems from a movement started last
year by the Forest Farmers Asso
ciation, representing the timber
land owners of the twelve southern
states, which resulted in an initial
appropriation of $300,000 for eleven
field research laboratories in the
south, which now produces about
50 per cent of the nation’s timber.
At that time, in recognition of the
need for similar research on forest
lands in other sections of the coun
try, the house committee requested
the forest service, U. S. Department
of Agriculture, to study the situa
| tion and present a nation-wide pro
gram for consideration in 1946.
After hearing testimony on the
comprehensive five-year forestry
research plan developed by the for
est service, Congressman Tarver
and his colleagues recommended
the appropriation of $1,173,719 for
the establishment and/or strength
ening of 53 field research centers,
including 19 in the southern re
gion. The ultimate goal five years
hence is 70 units at a total cost of
$2,914,000.
This action by the house commit
tee, which had the support of a
great majority of the congress, is
unquestionably the greatest boost
for forestry since the pioneering
conservation legislation sponsored
by President Theodore Roosevelt.
The program will point the way to
ward rebuilding our greatest re
newable resource, and its effects
wj.ll be felt and appreciated
throughout the nation. This is the
type of program—a sound invest
ment in America’s basic resources
—that will bring well-deserved
credit to its sponsors.
