Gordon Clarkson Heads Local y/ Keep Green 77 Groupe. CONWAY — Gordon N. Clark son of Newberry has been appoint ed chairman of the Newberry County Keep South Carolina Green Committee, it was an nounced today by the South Caro lina Forest Industries Committee. The appointment was made by E. E. Dargan of Conway, state i chairman of the Keep Green fire prevention program which is spon sored by the South Carolina Forest Industries Committee. Mr. Dargan, in announcing the local appointment, emphasized the importance of the county or ganization. “This is the group upon which the success of Keep South Carolina Green will rest,” he said. The campaign was launched in February by the forest-dependent industries of the state in an ef fort to reduce the number of forest fires that break out each year, destroying thousands of dol lars worth of valuable timber. A number of organizations and agencies pledged their support and cooperation of the program. “South Carolina’s forests pro vide raw materials for the sec ond largest industry in the state,” Mr. Dargan said. “Besides em ploying a quarter of million per sons, the wood-using industries al so make it possible for thou sands of landowners to supple ment their incomes through timber sales.” The state Keep Green chairman pointed out that fires destroy lit tle trees and damage standing tim ber, endangering the future timber supply of the state. He added that forest fires lower soil fertility, kill small game, start soil erosion and pollute streams. / “Nine out of 10 of South Caro lina’s forest fires are caused by people and can be prevented,” Mr. Dargan said. “Everybody suf fers when the woods burn, and it is everybody’s business to help reduce this needless waste. I call on all citizens to work with their local chairman in preventing forest fires, and Keep South Carolina Green.” I REMEMBER’ BY THE OLE TIMERS ^ SUBER Mr, and Mrs. Claude B.
