Department of Agriculture; and and representatives of the United States army and navy. The celebration is designed to give public recognition to farmers for their remarkable contribution to the war effort, according to Rut. L. Os borne, of Orangeburg, general chair man in charge of arrangements. American farmers this year pro duced record farm crops, totaling 12 per cent more than the previously high production of 1941. South Car olina farmers were among the first to respond to the appeal for more farm commodities to meet war needs. The day’s program will open at 10 A. M. with a two-mile long parade that will feature military units, sev eral bands, and highly decorated floats from various communities thruout the county. The parade will be followed by the speaking program after which the assembled thousands will gather for a huge picnic. Each family will bring a basket lunch.

Farm Owners, Tenants Alike Flock To Ship Yards & War Centers Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 21.—In the deep south, war industry’s whirring wheels hum a song of revolt against King Cotton. And many of his farmer courtiers like its lilt. Government officials consider its current stage an unhealthy situation but despite all organized efforts' to remedy it, many observers see King Cotton’s realm gripped in a cycle that history may call “the agricul tural revolution.” The cycle’s starting gun exploded at Pearl Harbor. It set off an eco nomic race which gains momentum with every turn of a war plant lathe. Men, and many of the women, too, ar e leaving farms for war plants. Their magnet: more cash money in a month than thej handled in a year before Jap bombs fell on Hon^llulu. Charles J. Brockway, Mobile coun ty farm agent and a veteran in the Alabama extension service, has at tended conferences in many parts of the south. From them he has drawn the conclusion that “unless the gov ernment does something, there is not going to be much farming next year.” Brockway is qualified to speak from personal observation in the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Lou isiana and Florida. He also has con firming evidence from farm agents in other southern states. Farmers are going to war industry jobs "in droves”, but the migration is not confined to tenants. Brockway says that it is a common thing for him to notice “some good old farmer” who has taken a defense job as a | guard or special policeman, while younger farm workers become weld ers, painters, carpenters, machinists or employees in other skilled lines. Brockway has seen farmers at work in defense plants and a few days later noticed their acreage— abandoned after being planted and worked for one time. Reports from o'ther states under the farm security administration’s regional office here give proof that the situation is not localized, but is, in fact, general, varying only in the distance a farm area is located from a defense plant. And it is not military secret that the South’s mild climate, electric power resources and manpower have led to the location of defense plants in practically every section below the Mason-Dixon line. These plants have drawn workers from hundreds of miles away. A typical example is at Ingalls’ shipbuilding plant at Pascagoula, Miss., a sleepy town which three years ago had a population of about 5,000, but now has mushroomed to more than 15,000. Ingalls officials will tell anyone who asks that a great majority of their men come from the farms of Mississippi and that most of them never saw a ship until comparatively recent days. Defense plants dot northern Ala bama and Tennessee and these plants are manned, to a great extent, by men from the farms. Hundreds of miles away are two big shipyards in Mobile, Alabama, which had a population of less than 80,000 when the 1940 census was tak en. Mobile’s rationing boards have issued almost 210,000 sugar cards, and most of that population increase cam e from neighboring Mississippi, Florida and other parts of Alabama. The war-powered agricultural inv olution has dealt the Southern farm er one terrific clip. This is the la bor shortage. It costs the average grower around f2 per 100 pounds to have his cotton picked—meaning a picking expense of $30 a bale for 1500 pounds of seed cotton converted into 500 pounds of lint when ginned. Farmers must combat this growing and picking expense, scarcity of transportation to gins, the necessity of picking their own cotton in time needed for other vital farm chores. In addition, the war has cut off a large part of the market for South ern farm products, as evidenced by the closing, for the first time in history, of the twenty-three-year-old exporting Mobile Cotton Exchange. Although farm officials say that the United States and its allies can con sume all products which farms can grow with adequate labor, in some secions of the South farmers declare it is useless for them to plant when they do not believe they will be able to harvest. Observers fear that the effects of the labor shortage may be prolonged. The Southern Ruralist has learned that there is more money in the big plants, which they believe will be busy for years after the war, catch ing up on delayed manufacture of products for civilian needs. And farm officials believe, too, that many of the men who left the rural dis tricts for the armed forces will want a fling at industrial jobs when the was is over, and that one of the big problems wdll be to get them back to the farms. City Will Entertain Soldiers December 6 Plans for the entertainment of a number of soldiers from Fort Jack- son on Saturday night and Sunday, December 5 and 6 are going for ward and the committee in charge is making every effort to make this a memorable occasion for Newberry’s soldier gues.ts. They will be brought to Newberry by special bus on Saturday afternoon December 5 and remain until Sunday afternoon December 6. As many will be brought as the committee asks for, and this will be determined by the number of Newberry citizens who ask to have soldiers as their guests. The committee plans not to canvass the town but to ask pebule to volunteer by calling their ward chairman and telling them howmany soldiers they wish to entertain. Chairmen for each ward are listed below. Please call the chairman of your ward by Monday, Nov. 30 and tell her how many soldier guests you wish to have: Ward 1.—Mrs. Ralph Whitaker. Ward 2.—Mrs. J. W. Smith (Har rington to Caldwell streets; Mrs. R. B. Baker (Harrington to Main.) Ward 3.—Mrs. Alan Murray. Ward 4.—Mrs. J. L. Feagle. Mollohon—Mrs Wilton Todd. Oakland—Mrs. J. T. Thompson. West End—Mrs. Frank Jones. AUTO “GRAVEYARDS” The government does not clean out the automobile “graveyards” because every day cars are sold to graveyards for junking and it is desirable to keep these graveyards in business as sources of scrap and sellers of sec ond hand parts. You can’t put a whole automobile into a steel fur nace. It must be dismantled, cut into pieces and the body compressed. The graveyard operator and the junk dealer do this. The aim of the War Production Board is to keep this process moving, and to speed it up so that every graveyard will scrap each cpr it buys within 60 days. MAIL PACKAGES EARLY. The bulk of Christams mail must be in the post offices by December 1 this year if deliveries on time are to be assured, according to Smith W. Purdum, Second Assistant Postmas ter General. Mr. Purdum is respon sible to Postmaster General Frank C. Walker for smooth and efficient air and railway mail service. Unprecedented wartime demands on the .postal and transportation sys tems, plus a prospective record vol ume of Christmas mailings, were cit ed by Mr. Purdum as necessitating earlier mailings than ever before. “It is physically impossible for the rail roads and air lines, burdened with vitally important war materials, to handle Christmas mailings as rapid ly as in normal times”, Mr. Purdum said. “If the bulk of parcels and greeting cards are held back until the usual time—the period of about De cember 15 to 23—they simply cannot be distributed in time, and thousands of gifts will reach their destinations after Chrstmas.” In 1941, about 21,950 mail cars were required between December 12 and 24 to deliver Christmas mails— enough cars to make a train 270 miles long. This year, the extra cars need ed to move holiday mails are largely being used by the armed services, and a severe shortage is in prospect. The postal service usually borrows about 2,500 trucks from the Army and other Government agencies, and rents about 10,000 from private own ers, to handle the Christmas mails. This year, it will be extremely diffi cult to obtain enough of these vehi cles to meet even a substantial part of the need. The Army needs its own trucks and private owners are reluc tant to let someone else use their tires. Railroads are cooperating by con verting some hundreds of steel box cars and similar equipment for mail transportation, and Joseph B. East man, Director of Defense Transporta tion, has ordered that unnecessary travel be curtailed to the limit during the holiday season. But these mea sures cannot assure deliveries of gifts <> n time unless the public co operates by mailing early and thus spreading the transportation load over a longer period than usual. Mr. Purdum called attention to the task of the Post Office Department in moving millions of .pieces of mail every day to and from soldiers, sail ors and marines throughout the world. This extraordinary job must be kept current, even while the holi day rush of mailings is handled. Also, he pointed out, the postal establish ment is operating with many thou sands of inexperienced personnel, em ployed take the place of men called to the armed services. The new em ployees naturally cannot handle the holiday mail jam with the smooth ness and speed of the postal veterans whom they replace. In view of all these handicaps to the service, Mr. Purdum added, postal patrons should mail their gifts by December 1 if they wish to insure that their friends will not be disap- ponted at Christmas. Slate's Young Women Train For War Work An old maxim has been changed and today the National Youth admin istration finds work for idle hands to do—the idle hands of women Tyho long to do their sliare toward winn ing the war. The number of South Carolina girls taking advantage of NYA training in war production work is increasing daily and today almost three hundred are in the NYA shops of the state furthering thgir ambition to do their part for the men who fight, according to Mrs. Mamie Summer, Youth Personnel Director in this area. Young women 17 to 24 years old, from the western and southern coun ties of the state are coming to Col umbia’s NYA resident center, Camp Victory in Lexington county, to make their home while they learn to be machinists, welders, mechanics and radio repairers at the Maxcy Gregg shops in Columbia. Here at Camp Victory they are housed and fed by the National Youth administration during the period required to fit them for a war production job. The camp’s 14 buildings include dormitories, mess hall, recreation hall, bath houses, office and an in firmary. The girls sleep in dormi tories whose spotless white-painted interiors are kept scrupulously clean. Each girl’s bed is furnished with bed linen by the camp and the laundry is done by a commercial firm. Individ ual lockers are furnished each per son for her clothes and toilet artiejes. Each girl’s dormitory has its bath facilities and also a small living room complete with radio. The camp ha® 300 person capacity dining hall and meals are prepared under the supervision of an expert dietician. Extreme care is taken to insure that each youth receives three well-balanced, wholesome meals daily as the nation’s war workers must be strong as well as capable. Recreation facilities are provided in the camp’s recreation hall, includ ing radio and victrola, magazines, newspapers, .paddletennis, and other games. Movies are shown once a week and a dance, with music fur nished by the camp’s own musicians is held weekly. Youths are furnish ed transportation to Columbia twice weekly for shopping trips and movies. A canteen is operated at the camp through the Association of the Blind. The health of the v/orker is a paramount issue with industry and so it is with NYA. Complete medical examinations are given in the camp’s infinnary. A trained nurse is on duty at all hours to treat any illness or injury and one of Columbia’s best known physicians handles all cases requiring a doctor’s care. Good health habits are stressed, plenty of good food and the value of clean living habits. Trainees are taught to prevent accidents and to have even the smallest scratch treat ed immediately. The girls put in seven hours per day learning their chosen trade at the NYA Maxcy Gregg shops. Trans portation is furnished by bus and hot lunches are served in the shop’s din ing hall at noon meal time. And so they come to Camp Victory, young women who in normal times would be stenographers, clerks, wait resses, or debutantes but whose fore most desire now is to help America to Victory. Many have brothers, husbands, sweethearts in the army and navy, at home and overseas. All of them hope to machine the firing pin of a gun to destroy Hirohito, weld the armor-plate on a ship to sink Mussolini’s navy or build the radio set that flashes .the word of Hitler’s destruction. When their training is finished in the NYA shops industry is ready to give them these opportunities. All boys and girls who are inter ested in NYA training for a quick defense job should contact Mrs. Mammie Summer at the local NYA office on Friend street. Miss Virginia Addy of Little Moun tain left Tuesday for West Columbia NYA Resident Center where she will take training in ship-fitting. After her training is completed Miss Addy will be employed in the Char leston ship yard, thereby replacing a man for active duty at the front Accompanying Miss Addy to Colum bia for training also were Misses Sara Taylor of Blairs and Marguerite Graham of Strother. Misses Clara Dennis, Kathleen Daily, Margie Fuller and Janie Vaughn of Newberry have been_ at the West Columbia center for four weeks. They will soon be ready for I shipyard employment. MAILING QUESTIONNAIRES Local Selective Service Boards have been busy this week mailing out questionnaires to the 18 and 19-year- old group who registered last June. The Boards will be assisted by B. V. Chapman and a committee to help the young registrants fill in the blanks, beginning November 27," at the court house, and continuing as long as necessary. R. C. Lake and a committee will assist the Whitmire boys. POWN MEMORY LANE QUJCK WORK Prof. James Kinard of Newberry college faculty ordered a portable motion picture projector last Mon day evening through the Rayon Film company of this city who have the agency for a well known make; the order was telegraphed in Tuesday morning and the machine arrived Thursday from New Orleans and de livery was made Friday.
