along"

Rock Hill faced an egg shortage
last week and eggs are still about as
scarce here as they ever get to be. One
of the local restaurants was without

none. In addition to farmers Of the
surrounding countryside, Rock Hill
depends largely upon .neighboring
towns for her egg supply, particularly
Lancaster, Heath Springs. Ruther-
