SOUTH
CAROLINA
The school bells are ringing again—call
ing South Carolina’s youngest‘generarion
back to the job of learning-to be good
and useful citizens. We’ve'all come to
think of a good education for our. chil
dren a^ the natural birthright , of youpg
Americans—but building up and admin
istering a school system as hne/as South
Carolina’s is li gigantic task.
I
Nearly, 500,OM students are enroll^

We of the Greyhound Lines tak.e th<

in our State’s educational achievements.
We l^ow that our own organization is

Those of us whose children are. benefit

affordbd them feel doubly proud. ^

decisive parts to play‘ in shaping ths

As an ally of Gerrfiany in the pres-

shrewdly. Through Hitler’s graces,
Bulgaria had taken over parts of

PRODUCTION:
UpinV.S.
Backing up its fighting men on
the woMd’s fronts, America’s pro
duction army gave the wheel an ex
tra nudge with its shoulder to show
an increase in output for July. *.
As the “arsenal of democracy,’’
July was almost five times
as great as November', 1941. But
while production in ships, artillery,
motor vehicles an<Lrfood and cloth-
U. S. srtUlcry production ftendy
ing, etc,, has apparently reached its
peak, output of airplanes, army am
munition and signal equipment must
b^ speeded up to jyieet 1943 goals.
According to War Production
Board Chairman Donald Nelson, air
plane manufacture has failed to
reach its highest level because of
changes in design and labor short
ages. In aluminum and magnesium,
productipn problems have been
overcome, Nelson said, and effqrts
are being made to discover addi
tional uses for magnesium.
Britain Keeps Pa^
Keeping step with its Big Brother
Sam, Great Britain increased mu
nitions output in the second quarter
of 1943 by 25 per cent over that for
the same period last year.
Although change in designs . of
British aircraft resulted in tempo-
^ v<. %

. BrlUita'BpUBr* aatpal sp
slowdowns, production ‘" of
planes by weight rose 44 per cent
in 1943 over last year. Further ex
pansion of the industry in the next
12 months is planned. .
At the start of the year. Great
Britain overhauled its entire war
production program, concentrating
on munitions figured most destruc
tive to the enemy. Because of the
readjustment, 75,000 workers were
shifted to other industries. But the
availability of additional __mat^*ial
and help because of the cuts jq other
lines, enabled the more important
industries to increase total output.

Butter Assured
To assure civilidtls'’*of a steady
flow of butter, the. War Food ad
ministration announced it would cut
its government purchases by 10 per
cent in September and cancel them
altogether in October.
Under the WFA program, civil
ians have been allotted 80 per cent
of the estimated butter supply for
the fiscal year ending next June 30.
In order to obtain its 20 per cent
of the total without seriously dis
rupting civilian stocks, the WFA
buys heavily during periods of' high
production, then lowers its sights
with seasonal drops.
Hits Rent Fixing'"
stating that the OPA’s action in
designating the entire United States
as a defense area in order to estab

by congress or empowered by the
Constitution, Federal Judge Bascom
S. Deaver of Georgia declared the
rental provisions of the price con
trol act of ,1942 unconstitutional.
In announcing his decision. Judge
Deaver remarked that various |bv-
emment bureaus were seeking to
impose rule of regulation in place
of one of law, in contradiction of
Ibc principles of the Constitution. Al-
.'thoi
though the judge said rent control
wiw desirable in» time of war, -be

By Decenriber, 1941, the wholesde
