PAPER PRICES GOING UP
It is now costing publishers considerably
more to. print newspapers than
a few months ago. ' While tho prlco
of nuwHprlnt has not risen a great
deul ho far, all commodities entering
Into the printing of nowappners have
udvanoed. Home Items very considerably.
Tho rise Ih especially noticeable
in Job printing papers, an advance
of 20 to 30 per cent, already
huvhig been added. During the last
World war, newsprint paper advanced
to about ten centH a pound, or some
four times It's normal price. It is
quite likely that a prolonged war will
bring the same advances again.?

Vast Amount Of
Food For Army
More than 266 refrigerator can* are
to be the ''front" loaded with fresh
bonoleaa heof, Brlgadlar General
Jamea L. Frluk, Fourth Corpa Arc*
Quartermaster, aatd today on the
bant* of requirements of aoldlera of
Lieutenant General Hugh A. Drum's
Flrat Army during their 67 daya inanouvera
In North and South Carolina.
Thla huge quantity of beef required
the aluughter of more than 14,000 rattle.
Beef appears on the Flrat Army
inenua a total of 66 tlmea during the
fifty-seven days, and It will be aorved
in at least thirteen different wuya.
Beefsteak, with pan gravy, will be
aorved an even dozen tlmea to the aoldlera.
llolled beef will be served ten
tlmoa and beef |oaf will appear on the
tables eight tlmea.
j ltoust beef, both sliced and us sandwich
material, will be eaton six times
with beef fricassee, hamburger stoak,
beef pot pie, braised beof and Irish
atow scheduled for four servings oach.
Beof stew will be aorved twice as will
beef stew el rancho and beef hash.
Choice meat will appear as the meat
Ingredient In Italian spaghetti, which
will bo served four times.
But how much boneless beef will be
required for more than a third of a
million soldiers under command of
General Drum?
Brigadier General Frlnk, Fourth
Corps Area Quartermaster, says a
total of 6,717,544 pounds will be eaten
during the maneuvers, an average of
about 20 pounds per man. Of this
amount, Eastern forces manouvorlng
In the Fort Bragg area will consume
1.778,063 pounds and Western forces in
the Fort Jackson area will consume
1,939,501 pounds.
On days when steak is served, 45
pounds of beef are issued for every
100 soldiers. Thirty pounds are used,
per 100 men, In beef stew and hamburger
steaks, while twenty pounds
are used In the Italian spaghetti.
The problem of supplying this huge
quantity of beef to General Drum's
soldiers was met some time ago by
Brigadier General Frlnk, who has the
meat stored In refrigerated warehouses
for speedy shipment to the
troops in the field, from Quartermaster
depot at Wilmington, N. C., and
Fort Jackson, S. C., as requested by
the First Army Quartermasters. It
will arrive at the company messes in a
fresh condition, becauso it is frozen
It requires about 24 hours to thaw.

Military Funeral To Be
Accorded British Cadet
(continued from first page)
training at the time of his accident.
The death of Cadet Pritchard cast
a deep gloom over the school person*
nel and extended throughout the community.
The British cadets by their
fine personality and gentlemanly qualtiles,
their lntnese devotion to their
country and gracious acceptance of
Amercian ideas have won the deep respect,
admiration and affection of all
Camden peoples.
The pews of the tragedy of Wednesmornlng
spread like wildfire through
the city and community and through
the afternoon and evening the everrecurrent
inquiry on the. streets was
as to how Cadet Pritchard wt?s faring.
News of his death Thursday cast
a pall of gloom over the city. There
appeared to be a deep realization of
the fact that the cadet, only 20 years
of age, and thousands of miles away
from his own home, had fulfilled the
duty of dying for his country, for his
death was essentially that of a hero.
According to the official report of
the tragedy. Cadet Pritchard wtth
some 12 hours of flying, was taking
off for his morning flight. Another
cadet was in a second plane taking off
at the same time. In some manner
the wings of the two planes collided.
The plane piloted by Cadet Pritchard
went out of control and crashed. It
burst into flames at once. The crash
crew of the aid school was on the
scene Instantly and the unconscious
cadet was dragged out of the plane,
but not before he had been severely
burned.
He was rushed to the hospital where
sxamination disclosed that In addition
to being badly burned, he had sufferters,
Miss Betty Jane Sarratt, and
Bd a skull fracture and other broken
bones. Physicians sta^e tha^.,when
the plane crashed Pritchard was hurlad
against the cowling and was knockad
out. He never regained consciousless,
it is said. i
The unfortunate cadet was popular
itnong his cadet mates and had also
won many friends among the people
if Camden.
It was the first serious accident, to
iccur at the Southern Aviation school.
Because of the many people who
will want to attend the funeral services
at Grace church, it has been
lecessary to arrange regulations
which will close the body of the
;hurch to civilians until after the
Drocession has entered. Dr. Maurice
Dlark has announced that seats in the
jalcony will be available before the
uneral procession enters the church,
jut the seats In the nave cannot be
>ccupied until after all in the proceslion
have taken their places.
It is interesting to know that when
he news of the death of Cadet Pritch*
ird became known, mdny offers of
mrial lots poured into thfe Episcopal
ectory. The Daughters of the Conederacy
organization was the first to
iroffer a burial plat.
During the service at the church
he 6hoir will sing three hymns, they
being "How Firm a Foundation",
"Rise Up, Oh Men Of God" and "Onward
Christian Soldiers".
