The Carnesville Herald May 16, 1932
In a contest for a scholarship paying the expenses to a summer vocational forestry 
camp at Young Harris College in North Georgia mountains, the winner in this county 
was Bill Sanders of Franklin County High School at Carnesville. Second place was 
won by James Gillespie, also of Franklin County High School, and third place was 
won by Robert Fincher of Red Hill Consolidated School.

The contest was held for high school students in vocational agricultural schools 
of the state, with a scholarship offered to each county having these schools. The 
awards are offered by the Georgia Forestry Association by the Georgia Forest 
Service to the schools having a school forest and carrying on the forestry 
project.

The forest camp is to be held July 27-August 15, and is not only the first of its 
kind held in Georgia but the first in the United States.

The camp will be in charge of the heads of vocational education in the state and 
the forestry work in the camp will be in charge of the staff of the Georgia Forest 
Services.  Besides the practical lectures and field work in forestry the boys will 
make excursions to rayon mill, paper mill, tannic acid plant and lumber mill, and 
will make a trip into the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.
