Glenwood High Wins
District Forestry
Contest
; By PAT MORRISON
! The Glenwood High School
Demonstration Forest won first
prize in this year’s competition in
Southeast Georgia, according to
an announcement made by E. A.
Davenport, Union Bag - Camp
Paper Corporation’s chief of the
1 Division of Conservation.
| In the Glenwood school, each
1 year’s 10th grade boys that are
enrolled in Vocational Agriculture
study most of the jobs that per
tain to forestry. This work is done
i in the classroom and pertinent in-
I formation is recorded in the indi
। vidual student’s notebook. Prac-
I tical application of the knowledge
| thus obtained is practiced in the
i school’s Demonstration Forest.
There are twenty-five voca
; tional departments that operate
' these demonstration forests in the
! Southeast district. Eventual dis
trict winners are selected by a
crew of judges, most of whom
are connected with the US Forest
Service. These judges score the
accomplishments of each school
according to technical knowledge
gained by the students, work done
on the boys’ individual home
I forestry projects determined by a
! visit by the judges to the boy’s
farms, and work done by the
group on the school forestry plot.
In order to determine the
knowledge acquired by the stu
dents, each of the judges made
out a list of questions pertaining
to his particular field of forestry
' and these questions were asked
orally to the boys selected at
random. Following the quiz, the
judges then visited the home proj
! ects of three of tne boys, these
| also being chosen at random.
I Finally a visit was made to the
I school forest and an examination
■ of the work carried on there dur
i ing the past year was made.
The Glenwood School forest
। was Started in 1954. The land was
I leased to the school for a period
i of 10 years by Mrs. Lowell Clark,
; owner. It is located on State High
! way 15 one mile South of Glen-
I wood.
! The contest is sponsored by
Union Bag-Camp Paper Corpora
tion in cooperation with the State
Department of Vocational Educa
tion. Prizes in connection with
the contest consist 'of a check for
$75.00 being awarded to both the
local FFA Chapter and to the
Vocational Agriculture Instructor.
Members of this year’s forestry
class were: Clark Benton, Sonny
Pickle, Kurt Anderson, Willard
Callaway, Pat Morrison, Lester
Clark, Rodney and Ronald Brooks,
Rodney Johnson, Arion Goss,
Gary Horne, and Tim Wright,

Ernie's 'Up-North'
Speech Quickly
Brings Results
Hardly had Gov. Ernest Van
diver returned home from Phil
adelphia, where he recently,ad
dressed a lunching group of lead
’ ing industrialists, than he began
getting reactions to his first “up-
North” sales talk. And so far
they’ve all been favorable, too.
Here, for example, are excerpts
from some of the letters he has
received:
Leslie Edgcomb, president of
Edgcomb Steel Co., Philadelphia,
wrote: “Your talk on the poten
tial of the State of Georgia was
j most interesting to me, to the
; extent that I would like to ask
i if it would be .possible for me to
obtain a copy of your address. In
our future plans for expansion,
:we may consider looking into
| your state.”
In another letter to Thomas B.
McCabe, president of Scott Paper
i Co., Chester, Pa., who was his
; host at the luncheon, Mr. Edg
comb said: “I was particularly in
; terested in Gov. Vandiver’s com
ments on the growth of Georgia.
!We are giving considerable
। thought to locating our fifth
[plant in that area.”
j W. E. Dillard, president and
i general manager, Central of Geor
i gia Railway Co., Savannah, wrote
] the Governor this:
i “I was so tremendously im
pressed with the fine selling job
lyou did at the luncheon in Phil
! adelphia that I cannot resist
[ writing to let you know of my
! personal appreciation and how
much I think it will mean to
Georgia . . . Your fine talk will
, certainly make our jobs much
easier in our efforts to interest
industry throughout the country
! in Georgia.”
