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

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.

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. •
