Georgia Shows Big
Decrease In Traffic
Death Rate
Georgia held her traffic death rate
to 49 in August, almost half of what
it was the same month two years ago,
the Department of Public Safety an
nounced.
Commisisoner Lon Sullivan said 91
lives were lost in August, 1937; and
63 this past July. He reported also
that Georgia was one of 22 states in
the Union to’show a decrease for the
first seven months of the year. The
balance reported more fatalities.
The Commissioner accused speed
ing and drinking drivers of causing
most of Georgia’s accidents in Aug
ust. He said 16 of the 49 fatalities
were direct results of speeding and
that 25 others occurred because the
driver went around curves, up hills, on
wet pavement or drove after dark at
too fast a rate although not neces
sarily in excess of the state’s 55-mile
speed limit.
Commissioner Sullivan said the de
crease, he believed, was due to the
fact that troopers have been strictly
enforcing regulations. Since August
15, they have made permanent warn
ings for violations on driver’s licenses
by clipping holes in them. Two
“clips” for the same offense means
a 30-day license suspension.
“Results for such enforcement speak
for themselves in the form of human
lives saved,” the Commissioner de
clared.
He urged drivers to practice greater
caution the remaining months of 1939
so the Department can chalk up at
least 200 lives “saved” over 1937 when
944 persons were killed. Through
August this year 447 persons had
been killed in accidents; through Aug
ust last year, 506.

Plants Trees Instead
Os Paying Insurance
The creation of an estate through
insurance has been talked of for years
and a very practical application of
the fundamental principles of an en
dowment insurance are being put
into practice with every apparent
reason for success by Mr. Dewey Pul
liam of Lavonia, Georgia, states W. D.
Young, Assistant District Forester
for north Georgia.
Five years ago Mr. Pulliam con
ceived the idea of planting pine trees
to create a salable supply of first
class timber by the time he reached
the age of 55 or 60 years. In other
words, Mr. Pulliam believes that he
can, with reasonable care, build up
a sizable reserve fund for his old
age in having a supply of marketable
trees ready for sale at that time.
Acting on this impulse, Mr. Pul
liam began buying land in 1935 with
an initial beginning of thirty-five
acres. Today Mr. Pulliam has a total
of six hundred and fifty acres. Not
all of this land will be planted to
trees, as Mr. Pulliam is interested in
farming also. However, his program
for the last five years has been to
plant twenty-five thousand trees per
year.
Today he has a total of eighty
thousand slash pines planted and
vigorously growing. His program of
planting will be completed this year
when the total will reach one hundred
thousand trees.
Survival has been unusually good
and growth has been rapid. At five
years of age trees in the plantation
have reached an average height of
fifteen feet.
Mr. Pulliam asked and received help
from the State Division of Forestry in
methods of planting and will be ad
vised by the Division from time to
time as thinning and pruning is need
ed to improve the stand.
The Division of Forestry is operat
ing two State nurseries with a produc
tion o f approximately 25,000,000
seedlings annually for distribution at
cost to landowners of the State inter
ested in creating an estate in this one
essential natural resource.
Mr. Pulliam is to be commended for
thinking of and carrying out such an
excellent idea.

LIGHT CONDITION YOUR ENTIRE HOME
EEfORE “EYESTRAIN SEASON” COMES
Fall is that time of the year when days are
darker and nights longer. It is also the
“Eyestrain Season” — the time of the year
when you — and your children — are most
likely to subject your eyes to poor lighting
that results in eyestrain.
During the summer you do much of your
visual work outdoors —in the shade of a
tree, or on the porch, where you find na
ture provides good light. But, when cold
weather comes, and you move indoors, you
may forget you leave good light outdoors.
Then, before you know it, you are using
the only eyes you’ll ever have in poor light
— running the risk of impairing them.
Don’t let that happen. See that your
home is “Light Conditioned” now. I. E. S.

Lady Elizabeth Nightingale
The Lady Elizabeth Nightingale,
referred to in Washington Irving’s
writings, was the eldest daughter
and co-heir of Washington, Second
Earl Ferrers by Mary, eldest sur
viving daughter of Sir Richard Le
ringe, lord chief justice of common
pleas in Ireland. She was born in
1704 and married in 1725 Joseph
Gascoigne Nightingale, Esq. She
died in 1731. Her well-known monu
ment in Westminster abbey is by
the sculptor Ronbiliac. The Ferrers
family intermarried with the Wash

ther’s Christian name—and Florence
Nightingale was of the same fam
ily as Lady Elizabeth’s husband.
