JAYCEES REPORT
INVESTIGATION

The Junior Chamber of Com
merce, meeting last night at the
Cape Fear armory, heard results
of an investigation conducted by
the organization for promotion of
welfare for inmates of the juvenile
detention homes of the county
farm.
hubert Howard, reporting as
chairman of the county home COM
mittee, stated the IA suggestions
made to the county commissioners
for the betterment of living condi-
lions at the juvenile detention
homes, have been carried out very
successfully.
Upon inspecting the home yester-
day, it was found that a matron
has been hired for white juvenile
delinquents to work in conjunction
with other personnel. 1t was also
learned that sanitary conditions
have been greatly improved,
through renovation of the kitchen
and food storage rooms, the inns
provement of plumbing facilities,
and the use of a new white juvenile
detention home.
Officers of the club said they
were gratified to know of the &C
ton taken by the board of commits
sioners tand the cooperation given
by the superintendent and attend
ants in making present conditions
possible.
Earlier in the meeting an indus
trial committee composed of Bob
Dannenbaum, Jesse Sellers, and
Elliot O'Neal was appointed to in
vestigate future port facilities and
other features that Wilmington has
to offer industry for postwar plan
ming.

FOOD WASTE CUT
AT DAVIS AGAIN
CAMP DAVIS. july g. Another

CAMP DAVIS, July Is, Another
reduction in the waste of edible
food at Camp Davis mess halls
was announced today by Major
Peter S. Ober, Camp Quartemas-
ter, in his report for June showing
that the food waste here has been
cut to LOSS ounces per man per
DAY for May and tumble of half
pound from the average for all
mess halls in the Fourth Service
Command at the beginning OF this
year, Major Ober said.
This saving of approximately
eight ounces Of food per man per
day means that in a camp of 5O,-
900 men, there would be a saving
Of 20,625 pounds of food every day
and that's more than 100 tons of
something good to eat. Figured in
dollars and cents the savings at
that camp of $4,000 men would be
30, 093.75 a day or $92,812.50 per
month-and you can multiply that
$1,000 man camp numerous times
to get an idea of the total saving
in the Fourth Service command.
Placing all the mess halls on
field rations, rigid inspection of
food handling, training cooks to
prepare and place before h e
troops better and more appetizing
food, the use of kitchen leftovers,
end the "clean plate" policy of
take all you want, but eat all
you take'', are some of the steps
taken by the Army to effect this
saving, food service officers point
ed out.
