Forest-fires in Wheeler County
don’t just happen. They are
caused.
; Alston' Cherry, County For
est Ranger of Wheeler County
Forestry Unit made this state
ment this week in calling for
“all-out” warfare” against for-j
sst fires in this area.
’ Man’s carelessness,” he said, “is i
yeponsible for nine out of 10 for- i
est fires in Wheeler County, and !
this, carelessness can show itself ■
in a dozen forms.”
The Ranger said that one of
the most , dangerous practices as
far hs fire causes are concerned
was of burning brush, trash, and
leaves. Another careless practice
which causes forest fires is build
ing campfires improperly.
Forest-fires are also caused by
carelessness in throwning away
matches - and cigarette onto a
.dry forest floor. They also are
-caused by persons who throw
•lighted cigarettes and matches
from automobiles speeding along
the highjyay.
What ijs the result of careless
ness like i his in Wheeler County?
The reSult is burned and black
ened acres of woodlands, the de
struction :of timber, of recreation
■areas and of damage to good
topsoil—damage which eventual
-4y will result in soil erosion.
“When.man stops being care
less”, the; Ranger said, “our for
est fire Worries will be ended.
We need the cooperation of ALL
citizens, however, if we are to
make an effective fight against
wildfire.”
Keep Wheeler County Green.

Mercer Extension
Center Open
In Douglas Jan. 15
'A new Mercer University Ex
tension Center has been estab
lished in Douglas with first class
es scheduled to begin January 15.
The Mercer Extension Dept, of
Christian Education had its be
ginning in 1948 when the Georgia
Baptist Convention selected the
institute to supervise instruction
for ministers and lay workers in
the churches.
Classes for the Douglas Center
will be held at the First Baptist
Church each Tuesday night at
7:30. Two courses of study will !
be offered during the first 15- !
week semester: “The Gospel of I
Mathew” and “Church Finance.” ।
Dr. B. E. Donehoo, pastor of
■the First Baptist Church in Doug
las, has been selected by Mercer
to ; teach the course in Matthew.
Rev. Walter Logan, pastor of
Douglas’ College Avenue Baptist
Church, will be instructor of the
Church Finance or “Stewardship”
course Both ministers have had
previous experience teaching in
other Mercer Extension Centers.
Thomas Frier, Douglas layman,
has been chosen by Mercer to be
Dean of the new center. Rev. Eng.
lish Byrd, Stokesville and Denton
pastor, has been named Registrar.
Either of these two administra
tive leaders may be contacted for
additional information.
Mercer Extension Centers oper
ate two semesters. Each semester
is for 15-weeks duration with one
hour classes meeting in Douglas
on Tuesday nights. Courses are
open to all preachers and religious
workers without restriction as to
age or academic training. All that
is required for anyone to enroll
is the desire to learn.
| Certificate credit is offered and |
there is a small fee of $5.00 per
semester for each course taken.
Text books are purchased thru
the Baptist Book Store by the
local reguistrar.
In 1950 only three percent of
the farm families of the country
had television sets. Today 53 per- ;
Cent have purchased them.
POLITIB|onPARADE
BySid&Wlliains
! iltOW
The writer had the very great
pleasure of going to Washington
last week to see Herman Talmadge
take the oath as United States
Senator from Georgia. Approxi
mately 35 other Georgians made
the trip to witness the ceremony
which took no more than three
minutes to perform. All new Sen
ators, plus those re-elected in 1956,
were called in groups of four to
Vice - President Nixon’s rostrum
and the Veep administered the
oath. Each Senator then signed
the register kept by the Clerk,
shook hands all around and went
to his seat.
Senator Talmadge occupies a
seat on the back row to the ex
treme right of the Presiding Of
ficer’s rostrum. He is seated next
to Senator Clark, of Pennsylvania,
and Senator Church of Idaho, both
of whom are new, also. By tra
dition, all freshmen Senators sit
in the rear, and also by tradition,
are seen and not heard for quite
a long time.
, Talmadge’s’ first vote was cast
on opening day when he voted
with other Democrats to defeat
Republican Styles Bridges for
President Pro-tem of the Senate
and elect Senator Carl Hayden to
the post. With Senator Lausche,
of Ohio, dissolving the enigma
about how he would vote, and
voting Democratic, the Senate or
ganized with the Democrats in
charge. Incidentally, the gallery
was packed with Democrats, ap
parently, for when Lausche voted,
a heavy round of applause went
up.
The presence of Adlai Steven
son in the Senate gallery brought
extremely heaevy applause when
Senator Lyndon Johnson directed
the attention of the Senate to
Stevenson’s presence. Vice-Presi
dent Nixon asked the Democratic
presidential standard bearer to
stand and had some nice things
i to say about him.
I After the Senate adjourned,
J Georgia’s Senior Sepafof, Richard
B. Russell, was,host at a luncheon
> for all the Georgians present. Gov.
ernor Marvin Griffin, Lieutenant-
Governor Ernest Vandiver arid all
ten members of the state’s Con
gressional delegation were, pres
ent to honor the new Senator.
Following the luncheon, most
of the Georgians left immediately
to catch planes or trains home?
But if Herman and Betty Tal
madge had had their way, every
body would have gone home with
them for a day or so, just to keep
them from being lonesome. For,
with their love for Georgia and
her citizens, Betty and Herman
probably are the two most lone
some people in Washington right
now.
The new Senator from Georgia,
who is already more widely
known over the nation than many
Senators who have held that of
fice for years, has been a source
of frustration to radical reporters
in Washington who have descend
ed on Herman and tried to get
I him to issue some “fire and brim
| stone” statement. It galls this
imotely crew when they find Tal
madge quiet, dignified and with
no intention of ruining his fu
ture effectiveness just by making
headlines now.
Georgians could tell the na
on that Herman Talmade
of the most capable, level-headed
; and sagacious statesmen Tver to
J sit in the hallowed Halls of Con-
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
gress. Sooner or later, the nation
will discover this fact for itself,
in spite of the efforts of Time,
Life and other radical publica
tions to discredit Talmadge and
the South at every opportunity.
• This dolUmh reiterates its pre
diction of some time ago that
Herman Talmadge will receive
the Democratic nomination for
president in 1964 or 1968.
Herman Talmadge is a Man of
■ Destiny, and only an Almighty
Providence kTiows where he will
stop.
Mrs. Paul Brown, wife of the
able and - popular Congressman
from Georgia’s 10th District,
. brought a hearty laugh from the
I diners at the Russell luncheon in
। Washington when she disclosed
that she spent most of her honey
moon in the old Supreme Court
room where the luncheon was
held. She said that the Con
gressman, who was then a strug
gling young lawyer, brought her
to the nation’s Capitol for a
honeymoon, but insisted on
spending most of the time listen
ing to the Supreme Court.
We were fortunate enough to
hitch a ride to Washington and
back on Governor Marvin Grif
fin’s plane, and we can’t remem
ber a' trip which has been more 1
enjoyable. The Governor's story!
telling ability is rated superior to '
nearly anyone in the state, and
he was in fine form last week.
In fact, Marvin Griffin seems
more like his old self the last
few months than any time since
he went in the governor’s office.
He is cheerful, composed arid ex
tremely cordial to anyone he
meets. Gone is the harrassed ap
pearance and tendency to be a
little snappish which burdened
him for a while. Running the State
Os Georgia is a big job and any
new man in the governor’s chair
has to get his feet onthe ground.
Marvin has done this now, though,
and it is a genuine pleasure to be
around him. We believe that he
will wind up this term as Gov
ernor enjoying high popularity
with the people of Georgia in
all walks of life.

I Incomb Tax Return
Filing Requirements
For Farmers
District Director of Internal
. | Revenue Paul Cobb today remind
; ed farmers of this area that
Tuesday, "January 15, is the last
day sos jfiling their estimated
Federal income tax return for the
year 1966, unless they plan to
file their annual return on or be
fore February 15. He pointed out
that those farmers who file an es
timated return on January 15 and
pay the tax due thereon have un
til April 15 to file their final re
turn and pay any balance of tax
due. Otherwise, the law reqiures
that they file their final return
.and pay the full amount of the
tax due by February 15.
Mr. Cobb pointed out that this
option is available to farmers
only. The law defines a farmer
as one who derives two-thirds or
more of Ris gross’ income from
farming., Re advised farmers
that if they filed a Federal in
come tqx return last year the
। necessary forms for this year will
!be mailed to them. For those who
I did not file, or for some reason
do not receive their forms in the
mail, blank forms may be ob
tained from the nearest Internal
Revenue Service office or from
local post offices or banks.
Mr. Cobb reminded that every
one who had a gross income (not
net) of S6OO or more during the
past year must file a Federal in
come tax return, whether or not
any tax is owed. The only ex
ception to this rule is that if you
are 65 years of age or over at the
end of the year, you are not re
quired to file a return unless your
gross income was $1 200 or more.
For those who need help in pre
paring their returns, Mr. Cobb
announced that assistance will be
available from the local (district)
office of the Revenue Service,
both by telephone and in the of
fice. He requested, however,
that the taxpayers of this area
fill out their own returns as far
-TH . .
r as possible before calling or visit?
b ing the Internal Revenue office,
n “Farmers’ Tax Guide” which
:- He also advised that he now has
available a supply of the current
proved so helpful to farmers of
edition of the official publication,
L. this area last year. A copy of
the guide pamphlet may be ob
tained from County Farm Agents
j or by calling or writing one of the
i_ following Internal Revenue of
fices: Atlanta,, Augusta, Albany,
Columbus, Macon, or Savannah.

CONTROL OF SOIL INSECTS I

, tomologist at the College of Ag-I

work has shown that the princi-I
pal soil insects attacking sweet I
potatoes can be controlled es-I
fectively by the use of insecticides I
mixed with fertilizer. The insec- I
ticides recommended for this pur- I
pose, he says, are Heptachlor and I

Vienna sausages, open-end sausages favorites all year long, are
excellent at the buffet table when served with a mustard dip. Thinly
sliced luncheon meat, spread with cream cheese, can be cut in bite
sized ribbon sandwiches.
Tiny beef meat balls or cocktail wieners are other appetizer sug
gestions from the canned meat shelf. And for sandwiches there is
the ever-popular canned ham, boned and ready-cooked.
