"This is just the beginning of a program of experimental harvest cuts to test and dembnstrate sa-tisfactory methods of handling young stands of timber in order to improve both quality and quantitv of the permanent growth,', 'said Dean H"jry J. Vaux of the University's School-of Forestry.

, By opening skid trails and roids, the logging operation will also make the area much more accessible and thus aid re_ searchers in their work. According to Vaux, foresters will now be able to remove individual tre_ei'each yea. that are darnaged by ice breakage or insect attack.

' So,me .of th1 proreeds from the sale will be used to support tre.e planting and_other management measures on the forest and w_rll help,us work out the details of a regular cutting cycle," Vaux said.

Wilderness Areqs Protested

"Gone witr, #iryind" from the Rural Georgia ViewPoint

(os it appeored in a Georgia country newspaper)

Katherine Scarlett O'Hara was our shero. A winsome gal with a figger like a marble statue and a head as hard. - Gerald OT{ara was our shero's pa. By nature he was most animal-like. Proud as a peacock, he roared like a lion and rode like a dog-and-pony show. After Sherman came he was crazy as a -bed-bug. Anyhow, Scarlett was in love with Ashley Wilkes, who was in love with his cousin, Melanie, who was in love with Ashley, and so they were mirried (Ashley and Melanie, in case you're- getting confused). tiris irriiated Scarlett no end, so in q-uick succession she rirarried for spite and cash, respectively, a couple -of fellows whose names we didn't get, but then neither did Scarlett for long.

The other rnaior characters were Rhett Butler, Belle Watling, and a'cdlored'lady exactly like the one on- the fapiack bJi. Rhett was somehout strangely reminiscent of bhrt Gable, and was a cross between Jesse James and Little Boy Blue. If Rhett had joined thc lost cause in the second reel instead of after the intermission, the Confederady would have won the war-and Belle, you'd have lovei Belle. Everybody did. During the seige of Atlanta only three thingi weie running-3u11"'t- place,. Prissy's nosi, and the laundry that kept Rhett's white suits snowwhite.

Melanie's baby arrived about the same time Sherman did. Both were equally welcome to Scarlett. It was, so far as our painstaking risearch has revealed, the first baby ever born in Technicolor.

Anywby, the South lost the war ag-ain in the picture (whai could you expect with a lot of Yankee producers) ind Scarlett inarried Rhett to get even with him. Finally after Melanie died, Scarlett realized that she didn't love Ashley but Rhett-Scarlett was changeable.- However, nhett, had had enough of her foolishness and when she told him, he said, "Frlnkly, my dear, I don't give a d1qn." Neither by this time did the audience. They were glad to see the eird, their own having become more numb than somewhat.

Grounds

Jim: On what grounds does your father-objec-t to me?

Margo: On any grounds within a mile of our house!

Difierent Glucrrters

Said he: "Sam must be doing well. He's gotten pretty uppity now, and brags that he only smokes quart-er-cigars."

'Said shel "That'slll right, dear. What he probably isn't telling is that somebody else smoked the other threequarters first."

Womsn

She's an angel in truth, a demon in fiction, A woman's the greatest of all contradictions; Afraid of a cockroach, she'll scream at a mouse' But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house.

She'll take him for better, she'll take him for worse' She'll split his head open, and then be_his nurse. And when he is well and can get out of bed, She'll pick up a teapot and throw at his head.

She's faithful, deceitful, keen-sighted, and blind, She's crafty, she's simple, she's cruel, !he's kind. She'll lift a man up, she'll cast a man down; She'll make him her ruler, her hero, her clown.

You fancy she's this, but you find that she's that, She'll play like a kitten, and fight like a cat.

In the-morning she does, in the evening she don't.; And you're aliays expecting she will when she won't.

The Truinmon's ProYer

An old railroad man was converted at a religious revival. and when they asked him to lead the congregation in prayer, he did it this way:

"O Lord, now that I have flagged Thee, lift my feet- o{ the rough deck of life and plant them firmly o-n the deck of the traii of Salvation. Let me use the safety lamps known as prudence, make all coupling! on the train with the strong link of Thy love, and, H-eavenly Father, keeP all the slwitches closed that lead off the sidings, especially those with a blind end. O Lord, if it be Thy pleasure, have every semaphore blocked along the line; strow the white lighi of hoie, that I may ma[9 the run of Life without stipping; and, Lord, give us the Ten Commandments as a sciredirie. And when my train shall have pulled into tlte great, dark station of Delth, lqay Jhou say with a smile: ;WeU dot", thou good and faithful servant! Co-me up and sign the payroll,- anct receive your check for eternal happiness'!"

PqrsleY on Plotes

A fellow by the name -of Garry Flinn writes that the American Association for the Prevention of Putting Parsley on Plates isn't making the pro,gress -that it should. There ar'e still too many restau-=rant -and hotel people who- persist in putting parsley on plates. When memters of the Associatio; hav; ihro-n saii parsley on the foor, the atten4jrnts have simply picked it rip and put it on other pl-atfs. I-t is ,ro- reco-rnrriended that memblrs throw the whole plate and its contents on the foor, and walk out without paying' It is admitted that this will lead to unpleasantness with the police but, as Flinn dopes it out,-the Association for the Frevention of Putting Parsley on Plates will get some valuable publicity.
