New Attack Set
On Forest Fires

JACKSON (Special - MissiS-
Sippi Forestry Association, an
organization of individuals and
companies interested in fores-
try development, is starting a
new attack on costly forest
fires. ForeSters and landowners
hope that the new approach may
mark the beginning of the end
to destructive woods fires.
Jim Craig of Jackson, preSi-
dent of the association, explains
that ''the association is shifting
the emphasis Of its fire protec-
ton programs from education to
law enforcement and the new
attack will be started on a pilot
county basis to test its value"
Rankin county has been Sc
lected as the pilot county. The
association announces that a
cash reward of $500 will be
made for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of any,
one for setting a forest fire in
Rankin County.
Craig says that, as forest
fires occur in Rankin County,
the burned areas are being
circled with rewarded posters.
Posters also have been mail
ed to tree farmers and a e
being posted at prominent plac-
eS throughout the county.
The MIA is acting as a clear
ing house for reward funds
which are underwritten by land
owners in each county. So, the
new program will be financed
by landowners themselves.
jim Vardaman. consulting for
ester of Jackson and chairman
of the associations special for
est fire reward committee, says
there seem to be some folks
in each county who have not
been impressed by educational
programs and the only alterna-
tive appears to be stricter en-
forcement Of the states forest

der the direction of Henry E.
WamSley, considered by many
as the father of the modern
day band in the South, the band
performed the first halftime
football show in the South.
The band has Travelled to the

the State footballers met a n d
