NATIONAL FORESTS
USED IN RECREATION
Over 5000, Persons Visited
Such Resorts During Year;
Two Located in Georgia

ATLANTA, Dec. 21.-(By Asso-
lated Press.)- The extent to which
the national forecasts two of which
are in Georgia, are being used for
recreational purposes is shown by
the fact that we'll over 5000, 900
people visited the forest during
1928, declares w B. Greeley, CHIEF
of the Forest Service, United States
Department of Agriculture, in his
annual report.
I'm 1917, the first year records
of people visiting the national for
ests were compiled, slightly over
8, 100000 visitors were recorded"
it is stated. "In 1922 this figure
stood at over 100000, thus show
ing a doubling in the number o.
visitors to the forest in six years
All indications point to continue
increase for the future.
1.-THE use of the national forests
for recreation is in all respects de-
serving of encouragement. 1t means

for no small part of the country's
! and privilege. Properly provided
for, recreational use will be a valu-

without seriously impairing the ca
pacity of the forests to create
wealth or render other public serv-

One of the important duties OF
officers of the forest service, the
report continues, is the protection
of game animals and fish, two re-
sources of the forest which are
closely related to the use of the
forested areas as recreation
grounds.

national forests" it is stated must

AGED MAN HYPNOTIZED
AND SWlNDLED is CLAIM

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 21.-The
allegation that 6O-year-old retired
farmer had been hypnotized into a
Florida swindle figured in argu-
ments made in the State Supreme
court Wednesday on a motion to dis
miss an indictment against Martin
H. Doud, who is accused of steal
ing $24,700O from Ira P. Watson,
of Fredonia, N. Y.
Doud's attorney said that the in
dictment was based on Watson's
story to the Chautauqua county
grand jury that he had been hypno-
tized by Doud Watson made a
hurried trip from Orlando, Fla, to
get the money, and Doud and ac-
completes in Orlando, it is alleged,
got it.
The argument was made in
Doud's behalf that the grand Jury
must have believed the story OF
hypnotism or it would not have
returned an Indictment for a swim
die committed in Florida.

utilized mush as are the timber and
forage resources. The cost of this
activity, in common with provid-
ing facilities for recreation and
commercial receipts, but is justi-
fled by the valuable public service
which the national forests can thus
contribute.
More game refugees and fish
breeding streams and ponds should
be set aside to provie for protected
breeding to meet the rapidly in
creasing use of the forests for re-
irrational purposes, careful con-
sideration must be given to avail
able food supplies for the desirable
animals, and a system of regulated
use devised that will prevent deple-
ton of all wild life"

statesmen he desires TO consult before
he returns to London for personal
consultations.
The task facing his majesty is no
easy one, for there is no outstanding
figure as the inevitable nominee,
while the conservative party itself
is completely divided on the subject.
IL Marquis Curzcn seems TO be in
dicated as the most appropriate
nominee. Stanley Baldwin. chancellor
of the exchequer also has very
strong following among his party
These two are still chiefly talked OF
as the most likely successor to Mr.
Bonar Law, but it may possibly turn
out that their rival claims are so wei
balanced that the solution may ulti
mately be found in some third com
promise candidate.
The conservative party is expected
to hold a meeting on either Wednes
day er Thursday to elect a new party
