Secretary Clinton P. An derson said the high acreage goal for cultivated crops would require “a heavy drain on our already-strained soil resources.” But he said that was inevitable ‘if this nation is to provide a good share of the food needed so desperately by hungry nations abroad.” The goals call for planting about 9,000,000 more grain acres than were harvested this year. But without exceptionally fav orable weather, it was believed doubtful that next year’s crop would provide as much grain for export as the 1947 crop. The meat production goal was set much lower than this year’s production. The department said the 1948 goal would produce about 143 pounds of meat per capita for domestic consumption next year, compared with 156 pounds this year.

Discuss Formation Regional Library On last Thuresday afternoon, a group of citizens of Newberry county, headed by R. C. Lake, superintendent of the Whitmire city schools, met with a group of citizens of Saluda county to dis cuss formation of a regional library unit composed of the two counties. Through an act of the General Assembly of 1947, the State has appropriated certain funds for establishing regional library units over the state, broken up into units composed of two or more counties in each instance, the state funds to be matched by small contributions from the counties. Through this arrange ment, Newberry and Saluda counties would have $5,000 jointly for operating a traveling library unit with each county to put up $500. Thomas H. Pope, member of the Newberry county delegation, stated Monday that the delega tion had already signed a resolu tion to allot $500 for this pur pose. The state will match this $500 for the purchase of books. If Saluda county votes $500 for the purchase” of books, a like amount will also be given by the state, thus making available $2,- 000 for the purchase of new books. The additional $300 to be appropriated by the state will be for the employment of a trained librarian and for other expenses of operating the joint library. Mr. Pope stated that in the event Saluda county does not join in the regional library, the Newberry county library would still have $1000 for pur chase of new books. The county library is already operating a mobile library unit, and has just purchased a new bookmobile which is to be deliv ered soon.

Village Homes Privately Held The sales of the homes in West End, owned by Newberry Textile mills, have been com pleted. They were offered in the first instance to the employ ees of the company, and with the exception of a few of the homes , occupied by colored people, the sales were made to the employees of the organiza tion. Two hundred and twenty- live homes, including eight oc cupied by colored people, were sold. This is the largest trans action, embracing the sale of houses and lots ever to take place in the city of Newberry. In addition to the homes sold, one storehouse and a lot on Drayton street was sold by the Company. • Newberry Textile mills gave to Newberry School district the West End school house property; it gave the church building of Mayer Memorial church to the congregation of that church, and to the West End Baptist congre gation the church property of that denomination. O’Neal Street Methodist church already owned its church building, which was given to the Methodist several years ago by Newberry Cotton mills, as the textile concern now known as Newberry Tex tile mills was formerly known. Newberry Textile mills sold to the three church organizations their respective parsonages at very low prices in each instance, only $2500 per house and lot. To the City of Newberry, the company conveyed as a gift all the public utilities, consisting of the water and sewerage systems and the power line and equip ment, as well as the sidewalks, streets, curbs and gutters owned by the company. These aggregate sales, gifts and conveyances, amounting to 230 m number, have all been duly’'(entered in the office of the Clerk of CourF'knd the office of the County Auditor. This means that the City of Newberry will now have at least 215 more home owners since this number of people have not heretofore own ed their own homes in the city. The gifts and sales were auth orized by the Board of Directors and stockholders of Newberry Textile mills, of which company M. M. Clairmont is president, Sidney Golding is secretary, R. Wright Cannon, assistant secre tary, and B. C. \Baker, general manager.* It took only about two months for all of the var ious transactions, which entered into the sales, to be completed. Dr. Boyd, Clerk of Court, and F. N. Abrams, the County Audi tor, are being congratulated up on the speed with which they handled the recording of all the papers and deeds, in effecting a proper transfer of the sales of the properties. J. Dave Cald well was the real estate agent in charge of the sales. Already there is much evi dence of the improvements be ing made by the purchasers in their homes and in the appear ances of their lots. It is under stood that practically every sale necessary to accor. p ish the sales and purchases was financed lo cally. A number of the purch asers paid in cash the full amount of the purchase prices, and local busmess organizations assisted in the financing of the purchases where the owner were not able to pay all the pur chase money in cash. A number of the sales were made under G1 loans to young veterans. JAMES V. CLAMP, JR. Mr. and Mrs. James V.
