Moore & Sons 1408-1410 MAIN STREET "Buy From MOORE and Save More" ARMY TRANSPORT KEEPS FOOD MOVING TO SOLDIERS OF U. S. St. Louis, Oct. 20.—The army ia using every means of modern com munication from rolling kitchens to airplanes and radio to keep the stom achs osf 1,600,000 men full every .day. The job-of feeding an army scat tered- all the way from steamy Pan ama to the Artie Circle and from Iceland, to Guam is one to stagger the imagination, Major C. F. Kear ney of the army quartermaster corps told the opening meeting of the an nual American Dietetic association convention today. The quartermaster corps must think in terms of trainloads and ship loads of meat, potatoes, flour, butter, starch, fruits, and vegetables and must buy by the ton instead of by the pound while providing a balanced diet for every soldier. The army con sumes 9,000,000 pounds oi rood every day. Army nutritionists attempt to de liver three hot meals a day to every soldier and when this it not pos sible under simulated or actual war time conditions hot breakfast and supper delivered under cover of dark ness from field kitchens are furnished and cold emergency rations are pro vided for the midday meal. To accom plish this the army has developed gasoline-burning ranges which can be tossed into a truck, fastened down and put to work. Cooks and bakers then go into action as the trucks speed along to keep up with the tanks, armored cars and “jeeps” in an at tack. To move food from the farm to the front line the army has built up a system of twenty.nine marketing cen ters throughout the country to pro vide for immediate needs and also to build up reserve supplies in the event of an emergency. Airplanes are rapidly coming into service as the life line of troops op erating afield. On one recent man euver army bombers dropped thous ands of pounds of supplies by para chute to a platoon of cavarly operat ing in terrain too rough for an air plane landing. The supplies includ ed 4 dozen eggs, only two of which were cracked. TEACHERS WANT RETIREMENT LAW Columbia.—A 12-point program headed by recertification of teachers and a statewide retirement law for teachers was adopted by the council of delegates of the South Carolina Education association for 1941-42, at a meeting here Saturday, October 18. The council, ruling body of the state association, specified that any plan of recertification should take in to a ccount experience, achievement and preparation of individual teach ers. Other points included in the pro gram were: Continuing contracts, federal aid, conservation, high standards for the office of county superintendent, school redistricting where necessary, con tinuing education, increased trans portation appropriation, advancement JUST-KIDS —Behind the Times. INCREASED FARM PRICES IS FORECAST U. S. Bureau Predicts 10 to 15 Per Cent Rise for Next Year Washington, Oct. 20.—The agricul-^ ture department predicted today that prices received by farmers in 1942 would increase nearly 25 per cent over 1941 and that the national income would advance 10 to 15 per cent. The Demand and Price Situation, a monthly publication of the depart ment, said industrial workers’ income had risen out of proportion to other measures of consumer purchasing power and in 1942 might be nearly double the level at the beginning of the war. It said incomes of these workers in 1942 might be over 15 per cent above those of 1941. It estimated the 1941 average of prices received by the farmer would be nearly 25 per cent over 1940 and forecast a similar increase for 1942. Cash farm income in 1942 may approach 913,000,000,000, the highest since 1920, the report said. The 1941 farm income was estimated at near ly 911,000,000,000. In 1940 it was slightly over $9,000,000,060. The department said the increase in cost of living in 1942 over 1941 might be half again as large as the 1941 increase over 1940. The department said food prices had gone up more than 12 per cent in the last six months but might not continue to advance so rapidly through 1942. The rise in living costs other than food probably will be much greater next year than this, it added. Despite these increases and the reduced production of some civilian durable goods, it said, the standards of living of the working population as a whole should average higher in 1942 than in any previous year. THE NEWBERRY SUN HIGH WAGES ARE UNFAIR TO FARM Farmers Receipts Less in a Month Than Others Get in a Week The man who can operate all of the various’ types of power farm equip ment must be a proficient engineer. They are the tools of his trade. Their operation demands long apprentice ship, trained experience, and a broad knowledge of mechanics and agricul ture. Yet, today, this man who, with this machinery, produces food for all other workers, receives less pay for longer hours than any other large group of workers in the entire coun try. No one desires to pull other work ers down to the pay level of farm ers, but it is “unfair” to farmers for other workers to “crab, gripe »nd strike” against food prices until the farmer is receiving crop prices that will assure a return somewhere neai the wage paid to other workers. Labor Gets Big Pay Note the minimum wage scale paid to the workers on state and federal projects in typically rural districts: Per hour Blacksmith 1 $ .90 Bull dozer operator 1.10 Mechanic’s helper 90 Oiler or fireman 90 Tractor operator 90 Crane operator . 1.35 Crusher operator 1.10 Drag line operator ... .■ 1.35 Hoisting engineer 1.35 All with time-and-a-half for over 40 hours a week. All Work, Little Pay Many farm operators work from “sunup to sun-do'vm”—80 to 90 hours per week. Based on the foregoing scales they would be entitled to from $90 to $225 for each full week’s work. However, instead of such munifi cent wages, 75.05 per cent of farm owners—for the labor of themselves and families—received less than $1,- 000 net income in 1938. Hired men are leaving for work on defense pro jects because farm owners cannot af ford to pay more than $600 per year; $450 with board. But, here’s the joker as far as the farmer is concerned! Organized wor kers receive their pay checks regul arly—“or else”. And There’re .Obstacles The farmer, however, works a whole year; plans crop rotations or herds several years ahead; furnishes his own equipment. But, his wages or income are dejendent upon the amount of rainfall, drouths, grass hoppers, chinch bugs, army worms and other voracious insects, crop and stock diseases and countless other elements and conditions over which he has little if any control. Then if he has a favoable year and a good harvest, from his own invest ment in land, buildings and equipment and all of his own and in many cases the whole family’s labor, the great majority of farmers receive less than $1,000—$83 per month—less vhan many of the workers receive for a week’s work. of the State Library association pro gram, free texts when conditions per mit, and a health program based on better nutrition. The council numbers almost 400 educators, elected by their county as sociations on a basis of one delegate for each 25 teachers. Representing Newberry county a t the meeting were J. W. Ballentine of Little Mountain; R. C. Lake of Whitmire; R. L. Riser of Pomaria, and C. E. Hendrix, O. B. Cannon, E. M. Stone and Miss Julia Kibler, all of Newberry. D. G.

By Ad Carter WILLKIE SEES U. S. IN WAR AT EARLY DATE New York, Oct. 20. -Wendell L. Willkie predicted today that naval and air engagements between the United States and Germany were not far in the future. “The United States is already jn the war and has been for some time,” Willkie said in the current Look magazine in answering a series of questions on current events. “If, however, by ‘war’, shooting is meant.” he added, “I think there is a possibility that there will be some naval and perhaps aeronautical engagements between the United States and Germany before long.” In answer to a question regard ing his position in the 1941 presi dential election, Willkie commented: “If I fit those times, I may be nom inated for president despite all the coninvance of political manipulators and hacks. And, if I don’t fit those times, political strategy will not avail against the unerring instinct of the people.” 975 S. C. PILOTS HOLD LICENSES Columbia, Oct. 17.—The number of certified pilots in South Carolina has more than tripled during the last year, it was announced today by the administration of civil aeronautics. A total of 975 pilots hold certifi cates in the state, compared with 319 a year ago. • TP" FAIR TIME ~ There isn’t so much to harvest this year, but the Newberry Coun ty Fair is here—here for your amusement and edification.
