accepted standards the region as
a whole is we'll on its way to-
ward a better balanced economy.
In many important respects the
south is progressing more rapidly
than any other section of the ~

l n the south is now about where
1t was in the north at the time of
the passage of the Wagner act u
years ago.
I'VE have seen that a strong pro-
union governmental policy can re-
suit in quickly herding millions of
workers into unions at a time when
economic conditions are unfavor-
able for union organization.
However, the new labor rela.
tons act represents a change in
the national labor policy and, in
the absence of s complete political
turnover in 1945, we may look for
far less governmental interven-
ton in the immediate future.
Nevertheless, the problem Of

and more attention on the part Of

which make for industrial peace"

of Deeds Amos J. Walton says that
many farmers in Waccamaw town

crates his WI farm, are now

Reports from other sections OF the

The summing up OF reports on
the tobacco crop indicate that it
is pretty good. With prospects that
things may become still better.
There is considerable late tobacco,
both from %replanting and in whole
fields where plants were not avail

ten to fifteen days the Brunswick

The Girl Scouts don't Ike it,
but Day Camp is over.
When they left the camp site
on GreeIlville Sound yesterday
afternoon, the camp was official.
ly closed until next summer, and
all the scouts wanted to know was,
can we have camp for six weeks
next year instead of just three?"
The results of the three weeks
OF day camp, other than fun for
all, can be measured in many
ways. Eleven girls, who three
weeks ago could not swim, are
ready to pass their beginners test.
Mrs. J. B. Lounsburg, swimming
instructor, said that at the open.
ing OF camp there were only
three intermediates who couldn't
swim, but that very few OF the
Brownies could stay afloat at all.
Local Scouts really want an es.
tablished camp here or ia this
vicinity, and they've been working
toward that objective for the past
five years. Each year the money
they make In the annual cookie
sale is put aside for the purchase
of land and equipment.
They have found that mighty
slow going, but Mrs. Helen Jones,
scout executive and director OF
the camp, says that they think
they have enough money now to
buy the property but they're on
the look out for land which is for
sale and which meets national re-
quirements.
Until they get the established
camp, though, the girls are all
for continuing the day camp. The
Day camp has thus far gone with
out a special name, and a contest
wal sponsored at camp 10 give it
a name.
Perhaps the most original and
most appropriate name submitted
is Wright Day Campfire right

Thomas H. Wright who granted
the use Of the land to the scouts.
Many OF the Scouts were afraid
OF water, and now almost all are
padding aromd-those that didn't
stay in camp long enough to learn
to swim, we're given a good start
on their way by being taught how
to float, how to breathe, and how
to kick.
Ready now to pass the beginners
test are: Nancy Sue Burnett, Alice

AMERICANS EATING
MORE MEAT THIS YEAR

WASHINGTON, Aug. "A -W.H-
Americans are eating more
meat this year than in the past
80 years ever though prices this
summer hit record highs, the
agriculture department reported
tonight.
1t estimated the average indi-
vidual's share at 155 pounds near
ly three pounds more than last
year and the highest for any year
since 1909.
Beef supplies are the largest
since 1910 and consumers will eat
10 per cent more of it than last
year. Veal, too, is showing a more
prominent place in the diet with
an II per cent jump over last
year.
Both lamb and pork supplies
are down. The lamb supply is the
smallest since 1929 and pork con-
sumption will be less than in some
of the later war years.
The department said meat sup
plies are expected to rise season
ally this fall. Thy should be top
ped only by those of last fall when
price controls we're lifted and
meat production reached record
levels.
Prices should decline somewhat
as supplies increase, it said.
The nation still is eating at
levels far above pre-war years.
Consumers are expected to aver
age II per cent more food than
was eaten in 1885 through 1899.
Consumption will be just II per
cent under last year when a rec
ord was established.
Only OF sugar, butter. and can
ned fish will total consumption be
less than before the war.
Even so, consumers will get Is
per cent more sugar than in 1916.
The supply should provide an
estimated SO pounds per person,
or only four per cent less than
the pre-war average.
The average person will eat al
most IL pounds of butter. This is
about 80 per cent below the pre-
war 17-pound average. However,
he will consume a little more
margarine and considerably more
lard.
The outlook for other foods:
Eggs-an average supply of 31.5
dozen which will be slightly above
last year and q per cent above
pre-War.
Chickens-nearly "a pounds or
a little less than in 1916.
Milk and cream - 20 per cent

prices of farm products up or

cessive week that a record has
