ment that major attributing fac.
tors to juvenile delinquency was
the disruption of the home envi-
ronment by war and defense
plants, undergraduates Of educa-
tional systems, and economic con-
ditions which influence youth.
One climactic statement ex-
pressed by a participant was that
children of today are just small
town to adults" meaning that
adults made definite contribu-
ton to the delinquency of chill
dren by their own careless habits
in ethics.
1t was voted to discuss THE
Inadequateness of Public Educa-
ton at the next meeting, to be

BY s. BURTON HEATH
NEA Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 12-Moon-
shining-the manufacture OF illicit
"whisky''-has been on the up
swing since last summer. Seizures
by federal agents, which give the
best available yardstick, have
more than doubled since the all
time low of November. 1912.
This upsurge should not, how
ever, be over-emphasized. 1t is
important mostly in contrast with
the abnormal depression to which
sugar rationing, scarcity of essen
tial materials, and high pay in
industrial employment, had driv-
en- a once hourishing industry.
Last March, the most recent
month for which figures are
available, Treasury agents seized
554 stills and $4,000 gallons of
mash, which looked high by COM
parison with 355 stills and only
1000 gallons Of mash for No
vember, 1912. Mash gallons are
considered the best index Of
moonshining activity.
The consistent but slow rise that
began last year has not brought
moonshining to anything approach
ing the pre-war level, however.
Federal authorities do not anti
cipate any serious increases un-
til sugar becomes readily avail
able to the moonshiners. For
while their product is called
whisky" and occasionally is dis
guised with counterfeit labels of
some Of the old favorite ryes and
bourbons, actually most Of it is
made from sugar or syrup rather
than from grain.
Shortages No Hardship
The quality OF the product, in
case you haven't risked any Of
late, is something less than Pc
diculous. 1t isn't poison-if that
gives any cheer. "Tm making it
to sell, not to drink" one moon
sinner eplained.
LIE price, even 1Or tneSe tunes,
is scandalous. It bears little re-
lationship to cost of production,
but is controlled by the old eco
nomic laws Of supply and de-
mand. There was a short period
when moonshine of better equal.
ity" could be had wholesale for
IS cents gallon. The retail price
in Atlanta used to IS cents a halt
pint.
Now the wholesaler or distrib-
utor picks up five gallon cans
from drop" in the woods a,
from $50 to $72, averaging about
$3.50 gallon from Baltimore to
Mobile. The highest retail price
The Wilmington morning star., 1944-07-13
MOOnShine Comes Back

Is SIS a gallon in Alabama, $1.5o
half pint in dry Baldwin Couns
ty, Alabama.
All of the moonshiner's costs
have risen, of course, and hiS
volume has gone down. The big.
gest increase in expense is for la.
Dor. Helpers who used to accepe
as little as 81 day now are get
ting $40. Nevertheless, the MOON
sinner is making more money
now than when costs were lower
and volume many times as great.
Metal and material shortages
have not worked too great hard
ship on these lawbreakers. Cop
per has been all but impossible to
obtain, but copper is only re-
finement anyway For years il
has been used, in many sections
Of the South, only for condensers,
and lot of alcohol can be dis
titled in an old automobile radi-
ator.
Community Stills
The cooking is done largely in,
old oil drums, sometimes with
two or three welded into a single
vessel, and in wooden tanks with
sheet metal bottoms to face the
flames.
A single still can and often
does serve many moonshiners, on
community basis. The mash is
prepared and left to ferment
either in a ground hog''-a tank
in which it also is cooked-or in
barrels buried in the ground in
some out-of-the-way spot. On
one Tennessee mountain top I
saw 80 such barrels. camoufla ged
lightly with poughs, fermentins
with no guard except an ostensi-
BILE wood-cutter sitting on a log
beside the road perhaps a mile
away
In the vicinity, a few miles
apart, were a number of such in
stallatlons, worked on seria.
basis so that one still could be
kept in continual use making the
rounds. In Georgia five or sig
different operators have been
found depending upon a single
perlpatetic community still.
Sugar and syrup are used most.
~ now because they can be made
INTO liquor more quickly than
gram mash. So long as sugar
remains scarce and under rather
strict control, moonshining win
not become major problem
me current rise in activity is
attributed to some increase in SUI
gar allotments for industrial use.
and as these become more liberal
permitting greater diversion
treasury agents expect to be kept
II increasingly busy.

STATE ISSUES
CROP REPORT

RALEIGH, July 12.-tREA state
agriculture department report IN
d:cated today there would be more
