Ranger and Keteran ."Smoke
Chaser" Joseph Karl Smith was
appointed t6 the post .
Speed's announcement was
made In the form of a'i>?ld
radio and newspaper advertise
ment.
Smith had been considered a
shoo-in for the post, left va
cant by the death of Ranger
Joe A. Pearce, until Repre
sentative Speed made applica
tion for the Job. Speed's with
drawal apparently cleared the
way for Smith's appointment.
Speed's announcement, which
also appears elsewhere In this
Issue In the form of a paid
advertisement,* Is as follows:
"About a week after the
Franklin County Forest War
den's Job was left vacant by
the death of Mr. J. A. Pearce,
1 decided to make application
for the position, and later did
so.
"Forestry has been very In
teresting to me all my adult
life, and the forestry practices
that I have applied on my near
ly 400 acres of woodland have
given me good experience. At
the time I made application It
appeared that 1 could be of
service to Franklin County In
that respect and that It would
not conflict with any other com
mitment.
"Since then, however, It has
developed that a special session
of the Legislature will be call
ed. To fulfill my obligation to
the people of Franklin County
who elected me as their re
presentative, I must be there
throughout the special session.
"I have notified Mr. N. E.
Faulkner, Chairman of the
Franklin County Board ofCom
iplsstoners, and Mr. Fred Cla
rldge, Chief Forester, North
Carolina Department of Con
servation and Development, that
I cannot accept the post of
Franklin County Forest ^War
den.
Whichever of the other fine
gentlemen recommended by the
Board of Commissioners for
the Job Is selected to fill the
vacancy, I shall give him my
full cooperation In continuing
a good forestry program in
Franklin County."
