ley Albright, 17, of Boston, Mass.,

Baseball
Louis Perini, the Boston con
tractor who switched his Boston
Braves to Milwaukee and his Brew
ers to Toledo, is reportedly in
terested in selling the Braves to a
Milwaukee brewer owner . . A
number of sport commentators
think the move to Milwaukee was a
bad one, pointing out that the
Braves will probably draw good
crowds this season, but that the
nearness of Chicago will be a han
dicap in future seasons . . It’s
hard to tell at this stage whether
it means anything or not, but in
four games Brooklyn pitchers put
together 30 scoreless Innings in
which they yielded only 14 hits
. . Professional baseball last year
attracted 40,938,372 fans. That was
a little over a million less than the
total draw on horse racing and har
ness racing . . . Here’s a reminder
for fishermen. The season will be in
fall swing in most parts of the
copntry within a few weeks. Better
be ready with tackle cleaned and
in first class order.

Commerce Dept. Figures Indicate
Huge Increase In S. C. Construction
A total of $736,600,000 was put
into new public construction in
South Carolina last year, accord
ing to a report prepared by the
Charleston District Office of the
U.S. Department of Commerce.
An increase of 298 percent in
public construction over the 1951
figure reflected peak construction
•operations at the Savannah River
Project.
Mr. C. W. Martin, District Mana
ger of the Charleston Office, said
that a breakdown of the total
new public construction figure
Showed $5,100,000 spent on sewer
age and water facilities which was
36 percent less than in 1951; non-
residential construction valued at
$667,800,000 in 1952 increased 464
percent over the 1951 figure; con
struction contracts for highways
amounted to $29,000,000 in 1952
which was a 1 percent increase
over 1951 and the remaining types
of public construction showed a
7.8 percent increase over the 1951
figure.
State and local publtc construc
tion rose 17.3 percent between
1951 and 1952, with a 1952 figure
of $61,592,000. A breakdown of
this class of construction shows
between 1951 and 1952 $6,342,000
spent for residential construction
in 1952, a decrease of 37 percent;
$16,738,000 spent for educational
construction, an increase of 74
percent; $9,506,000 spent on other
nonresidential construction, an in
crease of 71 percent; utilities con
tracts were valued at $5,177,000,
an increase of 254 percent, tops in
South Atlantic States; sewerage
systems at $1,674,000, a decrease
of 57 percent; water supply fa-’
cilities, at $1,451,000, a decrease of
43 percent.
Highways under State and local
public construction accounted for
an expenditure of $20,196,000, an
increase of 4.8 percent. A break
down of highway contracts show
ed: State Highway Departments
spent $19,978,000, a 6.2 percent in
crease; and county and municipal
$218,000, a decrease of 3.7 per
cent. All other construction in
1952 totaled $508,000.

Weevil Survival
Double Year Ago
Clemson, April 11—Cotton grow
ers of the state will get no en
couragement from the boll weevil
survival report recently released
by entomologists of the Pee Dee
Experiment Station at Florence.
This report shows that a very high
percentage of weevils have lived
through the winter.
Entomologists of the Bureau of
Entomology and Plant Qurantine,
USDA, in cooperation with the
Sauth Carolina Experiment Sta
tion report that, during the per
iod March 10 to 30, examinations
were made for live weevils in 430
square yards of ground trash
taken from 43 Florence county
farms. The number of live weevils
foud on the various farms varied
from 0 to 32,428 per acre of sur
face trash. The average was 5,-
932 live weevils per acre of sur
face trash. This is 94 percent of
the number (6,259) found in hiber
nation in the fall examination of
1952 and represents a very high
survival.
“The average number of weevils
found in this spring’s examina
tion is almost twice the average
found during the past 16 years,’’
the entomologists report. “With
the exception of 1950, this is the
highest number on record of live
weevils found per acre in spring
examinations,” they add.
Dr. M. D. Farrar, head, Clemson
Department of Entomology and
Zoology, points out that it is safe
to assume that most of the weevils
that are alive now will arrive in
the -cotton fields this spring and
perhaps be able to lay eggs.
“However, I want to call at
tention again to the fact that a
high weevil population early in
the season does not necessarily
mean that there will be a serious
boll weevil situation later,” he
states. “This situation will depend
largely on the weather in June
and July. If these months are
favorable for boll weevil de
velopment and unfavorable for
their control, a disastrous hoik
weevil situation could develop
this season,” he cautions.
More than 350 miles of road in
17 states and Canadian provinces
have rubber in their pavement.
The United States has put to use
only about 15 per cent of its
total water power resources be
lieved to be economically and tech
nically feasible for development.
Control of malaria in certain
parts of the world has enabled
farmers there to produce half again
as much from the same land.
Fine blankets will last for years
if given proper care. To prolong
the life of a blanket always have
it laundered or cleaned at the end
of the season. To launder, wash in
lukewarm water and mild suds.
The fuel tanks of the S. S. United
States, holder of the Atlantic speed
record, hold 2,000,000 gallons of
oil.

Donors, Workers
Thanked For Help
With Bloodmobile
The following letter congratu
lating Whitmire for the excellent
turn-out for the visit of the blood-
mobile unit there on April 6 has
been received by Rev. Paul E.
Monroe, Jr., blood program chair
man of the Newberry County Red
Cross chapter:
April 9, 1953
Rev. Paul E. Monroe, Jr.
Blood Program Chairman
Newberry County Chapter
American Red Cross
Newberry, South Carolina
Dear Rev. Monroe:
This is in reference to the ex
cellent mobile unit operation in
Whitmire, South Carolina April 6,
1953. Two hundred thirty-seven
persons presented themselves, and
201 were able to contribute usable
units of blood. Three donors gave
insufficient amounts for use, and
33 prospects were rejected for
medical reasons. Twenty-seven
volunteer workers were on duty,
and we appreciate their fine spirit
and cooperation.
One of your volunteer workers
was so unfortunate a\ to break a
bottle containing blood. We know
she was terribly distressed, and -
we request that you tell her we
realize it w^s purely accidental
and not due to negligence. Please
do not let her give up her duties
as a volunteer worker—we are
looking forward to seeing her on
our next visit to Whitmire. You
mayluse your own judgement as to
advisability of telling the donor
whose blood was lost that the
loss was accidental. Incidentally,
this Is the first instance of this
sort since our Center opened more
than two years ago.
As we have written previously,
Newberry’s "blood pj-oduction has
increased more than 100% during
the past few months. We sincere
ly hope you will continue to meet
your quotas. The next visit to
Newberry county is Monday, May
