In 1934, when Brunswick first entered into the forestry e protection program sponsored by s the Department of Conservation f and Development, Jones came back to this county and has serv^ ed as forest warden ever since. e With one of the largest coune ties in North Carolina under his care, Warden Jones has made long strides toward making landowners of this section thoroughly conr scious of the value of their tim' ber resources.
