Special Corps Aids Forestry
Improvement Program
i “A squad of special cops
j with axe?” is what M. Al
bert Ballew of Hamrick
calls his crew of woodsmen.
... Almost any day now, you
can hear these ‘tree cops’ in
I the woods of the South Toe
, valley in Yancey county and
you’ll know from the sound
of their axes and their,
shouts that they’re chasing
the undesireable trees out)
of that neck of the woods'
and making it a better place j
for toddling y* dow poplar,!
adolescent oak, and other.
! valuable saplings to live and
grow.
Ballew is a Forestry Aide
on Mt. Mitchell District of
the Pisgah National Forest
who doubles as dispatcher
during fire weather. He
I likes both jobs, but with his,
boss, Ranger E, A. Heers of
,Marion, he is particularly
concerned right now with
speeding a new stand of [
( valuable timber on many of j
the old sale acres.
Sales remove all mature
timber, Ranger Heers
( points out, and remove, too,
] trees which are sickly from
some disease or from plain
old age. Often also healthy
! trees removed to relieve
, over-crowding. The result
! is -worthless “weed”
trees increase In propor

they shade out, choke out,
or retard the growth of the
young good trees already
present and prevent reseed
ing of the desirable species
, 'which, on the average,
seem more tolerant, peace
loving. and not as prolific
.as the “weed” elepient. A
'small portion of the income
;from timber sales is set
(aside for this special police
work.
Caution Should be used in
[applying the term “weed”'
to many trees, the Ranger)
said, emphasizing that wild
life definitely is a forest
product and that food
bearing trees like dogwood,
persimmon, add holly are
therefore not strictly weed
species. Consideration also
is given to leaving defective
trees for dens wherever
there is no compelling rea
son for cutting or girdling
I them.

i basis. The 9-months per
iod will soon expire, and
the Town Board is re
quired under the contract
to give* the company who.
installed the meters ad
vance notice if we t hould
decide to remove the
meters. It is the present
intention of the Town
Board to remove the
meters.
This decision to remove
the— meters has been
reached due to some dis
satisfaction on the part
of the public. The meters
were installed to regu
late traffic and to help
provide much needed re
venue which, upon their
removal, will necessarily
have to be provided from
other sources.

ity Loan, and the continued
success of The U. S. Savings
Bonds Program means
more Americans will own
more America.
' For two years the Treas
ury Department has had a
successful Savings Bonds
Program. The national debt
has been reduced over S2O
billion from its wartime
peak. The amount outstan
ding today held by individ
uals—ss2 billions—is a
huge reserve of buying
power, ami every dollar
added to this reserve is a
dollar temporarily channel
ed away from the Nation’s
market places. At the 5 ame
i time it is a dollar stored
away and these dollars can
help keep “hard times”
away from our door.
The success of the Secur
ity Loan will mean, as the
economists call it, “spread
ing ownership of the secur
ities on the national debt.”
1 Every Savings Bond dollar
built up in the Treasury is
used to pay off a dollar of
the national debt that is
potentially inf 1 a tionary.
This is wise debt manage
ment.
TOMORROW—the dol
lars in these Bonds of Sec
urity will be ready to help
Americans buv the things
they need. This helps to
maintain a stable economy.
