AGAINST the cunning of the saboteur is matched the
jr\ greater cunning of our military and civil law en
forcement agencies. Every minute, day and night, the
relentless hunt for enemy agents goes on.
But Axis agents are not our only enemies here at
home. Equally destructive are those who, posing as
reputable business men, are every day sabotaging our
industries, undermining morals, jeopardizing liberties.
When such offenders are found in Georgia’s $10,000,000
beer industry, they are dealt with quickly, effectively.
First, a clean-up warning from this Committee; then,
unless the warning is heeded, a close-up order by law
enforcement authorities.
Only reputable beer dealers deserve YOUR patronage

FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK PROCLAIMED
Georgia Joins in Nation-Wide Ef
fort to Combat Forrest Fire De
stroyer of Critical War Materials
and Servant of Axis Powers
Campaign Opened Oct. I, in Sou
thern States.
Atlanta, Ga. Oct. I—The1 —The State
Division of Forestry announces
the launching of a forest fire pre
vention campaign October Ist, in
Georgia as a part of a nation-wi
de wartime undertaking. Joining
in the campaign in Georgia, it is
announced, are the U. S. Forest
Service, the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, Office of Civilian
Defense, advertising agencies,' mo
ving picture houses, radios, broad
casting stations, civic organiza
tions, landowners and business
concerns.
“Forest fires are enemy fires”
says State Forester Walter Dyal
who explains that forest products
are essential war materials and
that forest tires are the greatest
hindrance to growing these mater
ials. Heavy draft has been made
on the forests for war purposes
and, he states, that only by keep
ing fires out of the forests can
new growth be established and
the forests come back to full pro
duction.
Because of the atmospheric haze
created by forest tires, Mr. Dyal
states, unfavorable conditions for
plane flights and for the use of
artillery are devesoped. As a con
sequence the army is very insist
ent upon forest fire black-outs
for the duration of the war.
While the eampaign is state wide
Mr. Dyal says that fire prevention
activities will be intensified in a
great part of the State ns a mili
tary requirement and that the Of
fice of Civilian Defense is expect
ed to have a part in suppressing
fires in the military areas since
the fires hinder war efforts.
The existing forest fire fighting
organizations consisting of Tim
ber Protective Organizations and
County-Unit organizations, it is
stated, will continue to function
as usual in handling about 5-mil
lion acres of forest lands of the
State, likewise the fire protective
organizations in the national for
ests} and park* Where any of
these protected areas fall in crit
ical military areas the exiting
t ire-fighting facilities will be in
creased because of greater fire
hazards and meet military needs
The state-wide campaign, it is
stated, will take on many forms
of public appeal. Fosters will be
displayed along highways, in pub
lic buildings and business estab
lishments. Page newspapers ad
vertisements y,^| be sponsored by
business concerns. Letter inserts,
book markers and stickers are be
ing distributed. Radio broadcast
ing stations ami moving picture
shows are being enlisted in the
campaign.
The slogan “Careless Matches
Aid the Axis,’’ is being featured.
The Navy is seeking men with
experience in personnel work for
commissions as officers in the
procurment program, officials of

ced today.

ing him but rather the action of
the Board makes it possible for
him to be nearer boys and gives
him time to travel widely in the
interest of Scouting

“During these perilous times I
am more conscious than ever of
the patriotism of our Boy Scouts
and the strength of their leader
ship. To you belongs much of the
credit for the effectiveness of
Scouting in Lis country. I desire
therefore to take this means, on
your thirtieth anniversary as Chi
ef Scout Executive to tell you how
mneh we appreciate your aecom
plishments in behalf of American
