Spud Growers Faces
Choice On Supports

Washington, Sept. - Potato
growing regions of the nation now
face this choice-accept govern
ment marketing and planting con-
trolls, or lose government price sup
ports.
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan announced the new policy over
the week Unless potato grow
ers approve the regional marketing
agreements and orders, he said
there will be no price supports in
those areas.
Brannon disclosed that the Fed
eral Government has spent $685.
100000 to support potato market
prices in the past three years. He
said another $72,5oO,00o was ear
marked for use this year but the
cost "may fall short of y $50,000,-

Special Squirrel Hunt
National Forest Areas

Plans have been completed for
a special grouse and squirrel hunt
to be held in National Forest Areas,
according to Clyde P. Patton, Exc
cutive Director of the North Caro-
line Wildlife Resources Commits
sion.
Grouse and squirrel hunting will
be legal from October through Is
in Pisgah National Game Preserve,
and the Sherwood, Standing Indian,
Fires Creek, and Santeetlah Wild
life Management Areas. Bag limits
for the hunts are six squirrels and
two grouse per hunter per day.
There will be no limit placed on
the number of hunters allowed to
participate in the hunts, but hunters
must be at least 16 years of age
possess a valid State hunting IL
cense, and procure one-dolla1
special hunting permit. Hunters
must check in and out of the areas
and only recognized breeds of bird
dogs will be allowed in the hunting
areas. Hunters are advised to in
form themselve of special hunting
regulations in the areas open to
these hunts,

FARM POPULATION RISES

A recent population report of the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics
shows that children are still one of
the best crops farmers have. In fact,
farm people in this area are pro-
ducing about three times as many
children as are needed to maintain
the farm population.
In 1948 farm births exceeded
deaths by 100000 in the South At
lantic states, and total farm popula-
ton in these states increased 2 per
cent to 5,821, 900 in January, 1949.
This was about per cent under the
1910 figure, but was 16 per cent
more than in 1945. Net movement
of farm people to towns and cities
in 1948 was negligible and probably
reflects somewhat greater difficulty
in obtaining urban employment.

least money use Progress advertis-

Plentiful Supply
|Of Food Available
During September

September menus will be tasty
and varied, judging from the U. S,
Departm Of Agriculture's plenti-
full foods list for the month, says
Ruth Current, home demonstration
agent for the State College Exten-
sion Service.
Topping the September list are
hens, pears, and onions.
Hens, largely culled from laying
flocks, provide excellent sandwich
meat, or may be used for chicken
and dumplins, salads, and many
other chicken dishes.
| Many of the pears will be Bart
lettes, which are ideal for between
meal eating. AS for onions, com
mercial producing areas are market
ing crop heavy enough to place
generous supplies on all retail mar
kets in the South
Plentiful fresh fruits will be crap
es, prunes, and apples. The nations
fall apple crop is larger than last
year, and such well-known varieti-
es as Grimes Golden, Jonathan, and
Wealthy are being harvested.
By the latter half of September
sweet potatoes from this years CROP
will be seasonally plentiful, and
supplies of cabbage, tomatoes, and
Irish potatoes will be on markets in
good values throughout the month.
Cooking fats, once Sc scarce, are
a newcomer to the plentiful foods
list, as are turkeys. The state home
agent said turkey growers are
marketing large crop early this
year and that prices will undoubted
ily be lower than last fall
Broilers and fryers will be plen
tiful in September to add more pro-
tein to early fall menus, as will fish
dairy foods, and peanut butter.

Rosicrucians Reveal
New Relationship
Between Stars, Atoms

The sun is huge nucleus of a
field Of radioactivity generated
through space Rosicrucian Scient-
fists have found an interesting and
curious relationship between the
atom, the universe, and the human
body.
So relates F. B. Noblitt of Mar
ion, who recently returned from the
international Convention of the
Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, held at
the headquarters of the jurisdic-
tion North, Central, and South
America, Australia, and Africa, in
San Jose, California, August 14-19.
Atomic irradiation (radioactiv-
ty) was demonstrated by a Geig-
er-Mueller Counter. Actual radio
active minerals were tested, and
cosmic rays were also measured,
proving the actual relationship be-
tween atoms and stars.
Over 1900 members of the Rosi-
crucian Order witnessed the dem
onstration of these scientific facts
in the annual conclave of this scien-
tific, educational, philosophical
fraternity. --.- 3
Particularly interesting to lay
men and scientists were demonstra-
tions Of light and color, in an ex-
pertinent in fluorescense of miner
ais. Erwin W. E. Watermeyer, M.
A., F. R. c., staff physicist Of the
Order, also gave the effects, in ac-
tual demonstrations, on the human
mind and emotions. Vibratory fire.
quencies were illustrated to show
the art of living as being practical
in relieving tension.

STOCKHOLM. - As late as

ulation comprised more than 500

it had dropped to only 27Ge, dis

In point of numbers it was larg-

This steady decline is closely af-
filiated with industrialization and

Norway Sends Group Of Olympic
Skiers To Big American Contests

Weeks of rigorous training lie
ahead for the top Norwegian ski
ers now being picked to represent
their country at the 1850 Winter
Olympics scheduled for the United
States next spring. Team members
have already been singled out for
the jumps, combined event, slalom,
and dOwnhill races, while 10 cross
country aspirants have been
named from which Olympic en-
tries will be chosen.
During the first two weeks of
this month, country and
combined event specialists assem-
bled at a mountain resort near
Lillehammer for breaking-in ses
sion. Following the IA days, many
of the group chose to stay on in
the mountain tract, taking part
time jobs as loggers while con-
tinuing their training.
Jumpers have already begun
training in various parts of the
country, and are scheduled to meet
for the final sessions between
Christmas and New Year preced-
ing their departure for the United
States on January Bird. The weeks
between their arrival here and the
opening of the Winter Olympics
will find the group entered in a
number of training competitions
in the eastern states.
Members of the cross-country
squad will be chosen following a
10-km. race between January 9Th
and 18th, and the full Norwegian
tem-with the exception of the
jumpers-will leave for the United
States on January 21st.
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1949-12-13

Jumpers named thus far include

Floatin Fish
Oil Factories
Is Morse Plan

Based on the precedent set by
Open-sea whaling where the catch
is processed aboard huge factory
ships, Norwegian fisheries experts
are planning floating herring oil
factories which can set up opera
tiOns wherever the fish are found.
Already an experimental vessel
is being fitted out as a floating
oil factory, and will be tested on
the herring banks this winter If
as a number of specialists con-
tend-rich herring schools were to
appear in new fishing areas the
catch could be processed with a
minimum of transport problems
This first plant, however, will be
used primarily for testing new re-
duction machinery.
Serious consideration was given
this subject at a recent meeting
in Tonsberg of the Association of
Norwegian Whaling Companies in
view of possible employment
slump in the Norwegian whaling
industry. Only slight modification
would be required, it was pointed
out, to fit present whaling factory
ships for fish oil processing.

Women Desert Their Pots and Pans and
Flock To Factories AS Jobs Increase

Unemployment is hitting botf
sexes alike. The number of wo.
men and men seeking work rose
almost LOG percent for each sex
This is all a continuation of
long trend. Since the turn of the
century, and earlier, the number
of women working and seeking
work has been on the increase
In the present period of unem-
ployment. the trend has been &C.
centuated.
Take the figures on the total
labor force-the total OF men and
women both working and seeking
work. The nations labor force
increased from 60,422, 900 in May
i948 to 81 ,983, 600 in May l949.
Among men the increase in that
period was only IA percent.
Among women the increase was
SIS per cent.
Women constituted only 10 per-
cent of the total labor force in
1900. They were 20 per cent of
the labor force last May. Twenty
per cent of women of IA and old
er were gainfully employed in
1900. Last May 81 per cent Of
them had jobs.
The Explanation Is.
Men are staying in school long
er. Also, the new pension pro-
grams make it easier for them to
retire. They used to retire later
or not at all.
Women are finding work OPP
portunities they never had before.
Labor saving devices are max
ing ii possible for them to get
out of the kitchen, And they
need money to buy the labor saw
ing devices.
Women have been encouraged
to work. Also, because the social
attitude toward working women
has changed. Furthermore, the
average woman has fewer child
rem now than formerly. The big
increase of working women has
come chiefly among those who
were married.
The growth of factories, too,
has created jobs hat women are
physically able to handle. And
the development of business ma
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1949-08-05

chimes has given women new
fields of employment.
Although the typewriter was
put on the market shortly after
the civil war, the touch system
didn't come into general use un-
til 1905. The rapid work made
possible by this and shorthand
methods revolutionized business
processes.
Girls were often found to be
more proficient for the work than
men, and they would work for
less. They flocked to the offices
for jobs. There was a great
moral protest-the temptations
for men and women working to-
gether in the same offices, the
physical strain of tipping, which
would ruin the girls health.
But the fact is that women's
life expectancy rose from ST.
years in 1900 to 69.5 in lg45.
And now fewer women are old
maids. 1900 81 per cent of wo-
men were single. In 1910 only
20 per cent were unmarried.
