ATLANTA, Ga. - (CNS)- The time is not far distant when the famous song "Way Down Upon the Swanee River," will be just a song and the river which it has commemorated will be no more, if the findings of B. M. Lufburrow, Georgia State Forester, are correct.
He says that the famous river is gradually drying up, because the drought has affected its flow.
Further than that, the beauty of the surroundings of the stream, lauded in song and story, is imperiled by forest fires that are sweeping across extreme Southern states.
