The personal income of all South Carolinians reached a record high during the third quarter of 1971, and the total real purchasing power of the state's residents rose a little more than one per cent. At seasonally adjusted annual rates for the third quarter of 1971, the personal income of South Carolinians climbed to a new high of $8.4 billion, according to Dr. Olin S. Pugh of USC's Bureau of Business and Research. This increase, Pugh said, represents a gain of nearly two per cent over the $8.2 billion recorded in the second quarter of 1971 and a gain of five per cent over the $8 billion persoani income total for the year's first quarter. "Taking into consideration the fact that prices rose about three fourt hs of one per cent in the third quarter of 1971," Pugh said, "the lot al real purchasing power of South Carolinians rose about one and one-fourth per cent."

Pugh said among South Carolina industries the largest third-quarter income gains, expressed at annual rates, were those of farm operators (42 million), manu facturing employees (32 million), and wage earners in wholesale and retail trade ($24 million). The advances in manufacturing, he said, were concentrated mainly in durable goods production with the total payrolls in nondurable Focus to b A comprehensive look at a number of topics regarding the status of women are planned by University of South Carolina student groups which are spon Want tc A Wate or Official USC GOLDI FURNITURI 1725 TAYI COLUI PHONE S: 25 Living Room, Dining Rool Rented at Reasonable Pi Terms s set re showing little change from second quarter levels. Pugh also pointed out that South Carolina's $8.4 billion third quarter income flow represents a significatnt recovery from the lou point of the 1970 recrssion. In the fourth quarter of 1970, he said personal income in the state lotaled $7.8 billion, about $60( million less than that of 1971's third quarter. The state's advance of 8.3 per cent over this 10-month period, he ,continued, was larger than that fin the nation, the Southeast and the neighboring states of North Carolina and Georgia.

Pugh also noted the major sources contributing to the exV pansion during these first 10 months of 1971 were manufac turing, government, farming and transfer payments. Income from farming, he said, rose $75 million at seasonally adjusted rates from the fourth quarter of 1970 to the third quarter of 1971, representing a recovery from a particularly depressed point in the last quarter of 1970. n,Feb. 5-li Kinsolving will speak at the University Feb. 9 on the subject of "The New Morality."
