REST, RELAX OR PREPARE TO DIE

The importance of rest recreation and relaxation cannot be overstressed in this day of heart attacks and other forms of sudden death.
 The average individual for reason, looks askance at dleness either of the mind body, without realizing that a balanced life must include both. Consequently, we suggest to those who think they are busy to take any time from their busi- nesses that they gambling with death and the odds are against them.
 The stress of modern civilization has developed astonishing casualties People go nuts for unknown reasons. They worry themselves sick because they overlook the vital importance of easing the strain of modern life.
 We would do nothing to initiate against the labor that useful individuals perform. It is too true that there are some who have prejudice against earning their living and this advice is not meant for them.
 Those who have the idea that they cannot miss an hour from appointed tasks, or fear that an economic collapse will follow any idleness on their part might as well realize that the world will con- tinue to revolve whether they punch the clock on time or not Consequently, if they wish to live long and enjoy life, they might well plan an ntelii- gent program of activity to include conscious relaxa- tion from the worries and cares of the day.
 Take time to be careful the highways; while we pay little attention to death toll, levied by modern motor traffic, it is appalling
 We find it impossible to understand why anybody can take credit for what was done by an ancestor
 The person who always has bad luck may be specializing in it.
 There's nothing quite like a pretty girl.

She emphasized the selection OF
a reliable dealer, she said, for the
simple reason it is hard for the
average individual to be familiar
with all the technical features OF
a rug.
But anyone can inform them
selves about rugs, she believes.
They can learn the important fea-

WHY FORESTRY?
E. p. Mcmillan. Area Forester

-De"~~@~@~~s
Why Forestry? In the past few
weeks have been asked that
question many times. Invariably
the landowner asking the ques-
ton has been middle aged and
maintains that as an individual he
will not receive any benefits from
any forestry program. He's wrong.
Following are some of the reasons
why forestry is good investment
for anyone.
The land advocated for use as
reforest land is SO badly eroded
and worn out that only trees can
be grown on it at a profit. When
this land is burned year after
year the land remains worn out
as fire kills young trees and the
better grasses. Therefore, the
land remains worn out and worth
less to the landowner. However,
as soon as fires are stopped and
the land is seeded either natural
ly or by forestry program the
value of the property increases
each year. You do not have to
wait until the trees have become
merchantable to sell the prop
erty at a profit. Many of the
wood using industries and private
individuals realize the value OF
land already stocked with trees
and are willing to pay good prices
for the land. In many cases the
+. value of land doubles within two
years after pine trees have be-
come established.
The landowner who already has
an established forest will benefit
from any forestry program. He
may receive help in marketing his
timber, planting bare areas
marking the trees which should
be removed, preventing insec,
damage and suppressing fires
Fire protection is a landowners
insurance against loss just as the
fire departments operate to pre-.
vent loss in our cities and towns
Again the landowner starts to be.
nefit as soon as he starts manag.
ing his timberlands for he is in.
creasing the value of his fores,
each year. If he decides to sci
his forest in few years after put.
ting it under management he will
receive much more than if he lef
the forest in its natural state
Trees are a crop just like cot
ton or corn, and forestry is no
thing but the managing of thi.
crop to produce the largest profit
in the shortest time.
The landowner who owns M
timber land has pastur,
benefits from forestry program
because fire protection protect
his pastures. Many landowner
were thankful for the fires pu
out in the pastures during the re
cent drouth. The cost Of replac
ing 20 fence posts is more thai
the forestry tax Of 80 per cent o
the landowners of Holmes county
Therefore, every landowner Cal
} benefit from a forestry program
A forestry program in count.
increases the overall wealth o
the county, thus it is a help Il
everyone.

Intended Use

Intended Use
A rug selected for bedroom
may be serviceable for the use it
gets in that room, but unsuited
to the heavy traffic of a hall or
living room. You may use rugs
of less sturdy construction and
more delicate colors satisfactory.
in places where they receive lit
! tie wear.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1951-07-05

Cost
Rugs of the same grade may
vary greatly in price. For this
reason, it is always well to shop
around. Most homemakers usu-
ally buy rugs and carpets onl,
once or twice in a lifetime. so you
must consider long invest
ment.
Read the labels for grades, fiber
content, construction, strength and
durability test records and re-
commended care. Price is not
necessarily an index to quality.
Rugs, cheap in price, however,
may prove expensive in the long
run. E
ServiceabilitY
Serviceability involves three
main points materials used,
construction and color.
Materials. Wool, cotton, rayon,
nylon, jute "a fiber grown in In
dia), fiber Ia special rug material
made from wood pulp of fir OF
spruce trees), sisal Ia vegetable
fiber grown in tropical countries),
and sea grass, the largest supply
of which comes from French Indo-
China, are used to make rugs.
Construction. According to the
National Bureau of Standards
density or thickness of pile is q
major factor in determing the du-
rability of rug. You can find
the relative density by counting
the number of tufts to the square
inch on the back of a carpet OIL
rug. Rare Orientals may have
as many as 500 tufts per square
inch. Poor rugs of any weave may
have as low as Is tufts to the
