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.
ON VACATION
Mrs. G. W. Fisher, clerk in the
office of County Superintendent
H. C. Stone, is on her vacation

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.
