Tree Farm System Grows; North Carolina Owns 141 WASHINGTON, D. C. — The American Tree Farm System of growing timber as a crop on pri vate lands gained nearly 2 mil lion acres during the first half of 1956, according to midyear figures announced by C. A. Gil lett, managing director of Ameri can Forest Products Industries, the national sponsor. Certified Tree Farm acreage in 43 participating states now totals 39,587,554 acres as compared to 37,838,910 acres last Jan. 1 and 35,396,564 on July 1, a year ago. The Tree Farm program is an industry-sponsored movement to recognize private landowners who voluntarily protect their wood lands from' fire, insects, disease and destructive grazing and who harvest for repeated crops. Georgia, with 3,795,743 acres enrolled, retains national leader ship, followed closely by Florida with 3,603,014 acres; Alabama, 3, 558,242 acres; Oregon, 3,524,931 acres; Texas, 3,389,881 acres; Arkansas, 3,372,423 acres; and Washington, 3,322.994 acres. Mississippi leads in the num ber of certified Tree Farms: 910. Texas is second with 831, and Alabama third with 663. Three more states launched the Tree Farm program during the first half of this year—Vermont, Connecticut and New York. Launching ceremonies in Indiana are planned for this month. “Tree farming not only assures regular timber harvests through scientific management, but pro vides multiple use of the land,” said Gillett. "It means water and soil conservation, cover and food for wildlife-, better streams for fishing and ideal watersheds for reservoirs and streams. The humus on the Tree Farm floor enables soil to store up water which otherwise would cause erosion, muddy streams and wa ter losses.” Gillett said the Tree Farm pro gram, now only 15 years old, is opening the door to new oppor tunities for private woodland owners around the country. Farm ers and other owners hold 61 per cent of the country’s total com mercial forest land. The govern ment owns 26 per cent; industries 13 per cent. “The 4,250,000 small woodlot owners of the country hold, to a great extent, the key to this country’s ability to keep total timber growth ahead of har vests,” said Gillett. “It is indeed encouraging to see that more and more of these landowners are showing an interest in growing trees as a crop.” Medicine Gives Polio Answers The following series of questions and answers about polio vaccine is provided by the county medical society and the county health depart ment. The answers are from a pediatrician. They should help in reassuring parents and children of the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, the editor. 1. Is the Salk Vaccine safe ? Yes. Experience following the use of the Salk vaccine in over 30,000,000 individuals has proven it to be one of the safest vaccines now in use. Stringent tests insure this safety. 2. How effective is the Salk vaccine? The vacine was approximately (80 percent effective in preventing paralytic polio in 1955. The un vaccinated child is five times more likely to get polio than is 'the child who has received the vaccine. i 3. What is the full schedule of vaccinations? One vaccination, followed by an other injection at least 4 weeks later. A third injection should be given seven months after the sec ond, to provide maximum pro tection from polio. 4. How long does it take the vaccine to establish its protective effects ? The first vaccination begins to . take effect from seven to ten jdays after it is given. The sec |Ond injection brings a sharper jrise in protection. 5. Should the vaccine be given during the polio season ? Yes. Immediate vaccination of an entire community is the best safeguard. There is scarcely any evidence that the polio injections 1 endanger a person even during a period of polio prevelence. s 6. If the second shot is delay ed more than 4 weeks, is it ef fective ? Yes. Dr. Jonas Salk has report ed that the seoond shot will still be after several months. 7. Does one shot protect against paralytic polio? It gives some protection, but actually, one injection usually sets the body’s protection machinery in motion. Two shots are needed for adequate protection, three for long-term protection. 8. Should people who have had polio be given the vaccine? Yes. There are three types of polio and a person who has re covered from one type is not im mune to the other two, and may contract a second type. 9. Does the vaccine prevent non paralytic polio ? The vaccine prevents paralytic polio only. Non-paralytic polio is no worse than a severe cold or influenza. 10. How many children have been vaccinated? More than half a million have been vaccinated in North Caro lina. Additionally, more than 30* 000,000 in the United States, and over 2,000,000 in Canada, Den mark, Germany and South Africa have received the vaccinations. 11. Who is eligible for the vac cinations? In North Carolina, the vaccina tions are available for children and young people through the a, a of 19 years, and for ex .ant mothers. 12. When should my child be vaccinated ? Right now. North Carolina is now approaching its peak polio season. At least two vaccinations should be given within the next four weeks to guard against par alysis from poliomyelitis. 13. How does one get the vac cination ? 'There are two ways: (a) see your doctor, just as you would for other immunizations and (b) Visit one of the public clinics now being conducted by your county medical society & county health department for polio vac cinations. 14. Is polio conquered yet? No. Until everyone is vaccinat ed, polio will > remain a threat. The vaccine is now available, but it must be widely used to be ef fective as the principal means of building up resistance to polio. NC High Court Changes Made RALEIGH — Governor Hodges has announced the resignation of Chief Justice Maurice Victor Barnhill of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, effective 1 p. m., August 21. The governor, who said the resignation was submitted for reasons of ill health, accepted the resignation with deep regret and issued the attached tribute. The governor also announced that Associate Justice John Wal lace Winborne of Marion was being elevated to the office of chief justice. To fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court, the gov ernor has named as associate justice the Honorable William Blount Rodman, Jr., attorney general of North Carolina. Judge Winborne and Rodman will as sume their new duties at the hour set for Judge Barnhill’s re tirement. "I am very pleased to have Judge Winborne as our new chief justice and I am confident that he will serve with great distinction and will follow in the footsteps of Judge Barnhill and other great chief justices of North Carolina,” the governor said. “As senior associate jus tice on the court, he wall bring to his new position great legal experience, wisdom and talent. “In the appointment of Rod man, North Carolina will con tinue to have the superb services of an honest, able and dedicated public servant. I was pleased to appoint him as attorney general on July 1, 1955, and he has made an outstanding record and has rendered invaluable service to the State and to the people of North Carolina. His counsel and sound judgment have meant a great deal to me.” It was pointed out that the effective date for the resignation and new appointments was made so that the new Chief Justice would have sufficient time to get acquainted with his new duties.

SPEAKING MEETINGS Continued From Page One Board of Elections, mailed ab sentee ballot forms to the 100 county boards of elections in the State Regular ballots will be mailed out within the next few days. The public school ballot will allow properly registered persons to cast ballots “For” or “Against” a constitution amendment which, if adopted, would allow local op tion units to close their schools if conditions become intolerable, and allow the use of State and local funds for education expense grants. Of course, no school could be closed without a vote of the people. This proposed amendment, sub mitted to the people by an over whelming vote of the legislature, is what Governor Hodges calls “stand-by” legislation. The gov ernor is very hopeful that it never will be needed. Instead, he has urged voluntary segregation in the public schools, and use of the 1955 pupil assignment statute to its fullest extent. An affirmative vote by the people on September 8 does not mean that either local option or education expense grants will go into immediate use. They would merely be “safety-valves” to be used in case the other courses did not work in a manner acceptable to the people. Public approval must twice be had before any school could be closed: (1) the amendment must pass in September; and (2) the people of any given local option unit would vote later, if condi tions become intolerable, on clos ing their school. These merely are facilities for carrying out what the Pearsall (• ’v:s >ry Committee and the gov ' uor believe to be the consensus of the great majority of North Carolinians: and that is that no child should be forced to attend public school with members of another race if the parents of htat child object. Maxwell, meanwhile, issued de tails of the election procedure. Registered people, no matter whether they are Democratic or Republicans, can vote. Voting will be held at regular ly established precincts. Registration books were open ed for new registrants at the polling places on Saturday, Aug ust 18; and Saturday, August 25. Persons desiring to register at any other times can do so at the home of the registrar. September 1 will be challenge day. Absentee ballots may be obtain ed from the chairman of the county board of elections. These j are available to people who wftl be away from their polling place on election day, and to the ill. Servicemen who are assigned elsewhere, their wives and depend ents can get absentee ballots from the Office of the Secretary of State in Raleigh. Service per sonnel can get application forms from their commanding officers if they wish. WANT ADS LOST—Bewteen Bell Swamp and Southport Friday, one ma hogany and white water ski. Re ward for return.
