Plans for the survey, which will be conducted in 68 areas of the United States selected as typical of various parts of the country, were announced today by Walter F. Buhl, local representative oi the Bureau of the Census. A selected group of housewives, chosen to represent all types of families, is being asked to cooper- ite in the survey here, while a- bout 2,000 families will participate in other cities, towns, and small areas in 42 States to be covered by the study.* Similar surveys were conducted in these States last year for the OPA by the Census Bureau. “The Wartime Food Diary”, Mr. Bi^hl explained, “is a contribution which a small group of American families is being asked to make as a special wartime service. The diary is collected by the Bureau of the Census, as agent for the Of fice of Price Administration in Washington, D. C. Its purpose is to provide up-to-date information from the American housewife her self on the amount and kind of food purchased for home use. A record of each family’s food pur chases, combined with those of other families chosen for this work, will show how the pur chases of our civilian population are affected by the problems of food supply in wartime. “Full cooperation will make it possible for the government to have the necessary information in the shortest possible time, and by HIS Minin FlITIM Will be Discussed by OLIN D.

Williams, former assistant county agent in Newberry county, has been named cotton ginning spe cialist for the Extension Service, it was announced here today. Mr. Williams assumed his new duties June 16 with headquarters at Clemson. He has a background of - agri cultural training and experience which will qualify him to be of special service to farmers and ginners of the state. Born and reared on a farm in Abbeville county, Mr. Williams was gradu ated from Clemson Agricultural College in 1922. Upon graduation from college he taught agriculture at sev-' al schools for five years. Then f u* four years he was cashier of Southern Cotton Oil Company r.t Abbeville and for 10 years mrr.a- ger of that company at Newb y. After serving as assistant county agent in Newberry for a year, he was called into the Army in March, 1943, as a first lieutenant. He was with the 601st Anti-air craft Artillery Regiment in New York City and Philadelphia until his release in May, 1944. As cotton ginning specialist, Mr. Williams will work with farmers and ginners to improve grade and preparation of cotton. After a visit to the United States Cotton Ginning Laboratory at Stoneville, Mississippi, he will be available to assist ginners reconditioning their machinery for the coming ginning season. He also will help farmers prepare their cotton for ginning. In as many counties as practical, he will conduct schools for gin ners. - It is posible that a greater im portance should be attached to the human values represented in the country arts than in many things impressively demonstrated in statistical tables. Obviously, human values are the ultimate criteria by which a campaign a- gainst Japanese beetles must be ultimately judged.”—M. L.
