Page Two Jobs In Attitude Poll Most Soldiers Like WASHINGTON—What doe* the soldier think of his job? The Army Adjutant General’s Of fice, in a survey of 4,000 enlisted men leaving the service, got this answer: Most soldiers are satisfied with their jobs, work at tasks for which they were trained, and think their work is necessary. Questionnaires were completed anonymously. Men at 18 Army installations were selected so 'that each section of the country as well as different types of Army installations would be repre sented. Pew significant differences emerg ed between attitude of men drafted and volunteers for the Regular Army. Some of the questions and answers: Q —Do you feel that the job or training you performed longest in the past year was necessary to the Army or not? A—Draftees: almost all was neces sary, 66 per cent; some was not, 20 per cent; a lot was not, eight per cent; most was not, four per cent; none was, two per cent. RA’s: almost all was necessary, 70 per cent; some was not, 15 per cent; a lot was not, eight per cent; most was not, five per cent; none was, tw# per cent. Q —How satisfied were you with your Army job? A—Draftees: very satisfied, 18 per ' cent; satisfied, 57 per cent; dissatis fied, 18 per cent; very dissatisfied, seven per cent. p RA’s: very satisfied, 24 per cent; satisfied, 53 per cent; dissatisfied, 161 cent; very dissatisfied, seven per cent. Q —Did you spend most of your duty time in the past year working on the job whicn you received Army train ing? A—Draftees: yes, most of the time, 61 per cent; about half, 15 per \ cent; most of duty time on other du ties, 24 per cent. RA’s: yes, most of duty time, 56 . per cent; about half, 12 per cent; most , of duty time on other duties, 32 per cent. Q —ln general, do you think a sol- , dier with ability has a good chance for promotion in the Army? A—Draftees: very good chance, 16 per cent; fairly good chance, 41 per , cent; not much chance, 35 per cent; , undecided, eight per cent. RA’s: very good chance, 26 per cent; fairly good chance, 36 per cent; not much chance, 30 per cent; undecid ed, eight per cent. It’s an old joke in the Army that most operations boil down to “Hurry up and wait.” Is there any truth in the saying? Here’s a clue: Q —During the last year in the Army, did you have to spend too much time waiting around and doing noth ing? A—Draftees: yes, about every day, eight per cent; yes, quite often, 21 per cent; not very often, 71 per cent. RA’s: yes, about every day, 10 per cent; yes, quite often, 19 per cent; not t . I I Sfr •' MORE and BETTER~HOSPITALS FOR ALL TAR HEELS l ! Between the yean of 1948 an 4 1992, the aural health and medical care field of North Carolina i made remarkable progress. A record of 77 new and improypd hospitals, with 4,406 beds, in 73 of oer 100 counties, is something to be proud of—and con* _ tributes greatly in making North Carolina a better place in which to work, play and live. Another contrfcutlng factor to more pfsasont iMng for North Carolinians is the brewing industry's self regulation program where brewers, wholesalers and retafien—in counties where malt beverage soles are permitted under State control-cooperate to maintain wholesome conditions for the legal sale of beer and ale. * ; North Carolina Division , j UNIKD STATES BREWERS FOUNDATION, IMC.

Q —During your time in the Amy, which branch would you have selected if you had been allowed to select it? A—All separatees: Engineers, 17 per cent; Ordnance 13 per cent; Quar termaster, 12 per cent; Signal, 10 per cent; Transportation, 10 per cent; Ar tillery, nine per cent; Medical, seven per cent; Infantry, five per cent; Mili tary Police, five per cent; Armor, three per cent; other, nine per cent. Stroke Os Pen Makes ‘Millionaires’ In Army Millionaires may not be common place in the Army, but “millionaires” are. The quotation marks make a big difference. They mean that while the Army “millionaires”. don’t necessari ly have big bank accounts, they do have big responsibilities There are many men in the Amy i who must keep watch over equipment worth millions—hence Amy “million aires.” At Camn Haugen near here, for ex amnle, First Lieutenant Allen W. Feldman of 132 North Robinson Street, Philadelphia, Pa., is a “multi millionaire.” He is signed out with, or personal ly accountable for, equipment and plants of the post engineers property ■ in the Haugen area valued at $13,048, 000 (M). In addition, he is respon sible for other equipment valued at $2,000,000 (M), placing his total “holdings” at more than $15,000,000. Other “millionaires” at Camp Hau gen are ’Captain Ralph 0. Berryhill of 602 North Troadway, Hugo, Okla., and First Lieutenant Wafter D. Hall of 910 Tyson Street. Knoxville, Tenn. Berryhill, as special services office rs, is accountable for the Haugen Ser vice Club, library, gymnasium, theat er, hobby shop golf course, and equip ment connected with their use. These holdings have a value of slightly more than $1,000,000 (M). Hall is commanding officer of a tank company, and is signed out with property valued at more than $3,000, 000 (M). “OUR FIGHT FOR OUR CAPTIVE CHILDREN” Story of a Romanian family, na turalized Americans who exposed a diplomat when he asked them to be tray their adopted couptry in return for the freedom of their hostage chil dren.

Corn Crop Is Damaged Badly By Dry Weather On the basis of condition reports froin growers, North Carolina’s com crop is estimated at 59,481,000 bushels as of August 1. This is 15,421,000 bushels or 20.6 per cent less than es timated as of July 1. The decrease in production is attributed almost entire ly to damage from extended dry and hot weather. The average yield per acre is es timated at 27.0 bushels or 7.0 bushels less than the July 1 estimate. A yield of 27.0 bushels, if realized, compares with 25.5 bushels last year and the 1942-51 average yield of 27.4 bushels. | irsjtf-iiiii— timi 1 GRIFFIN’S FOOD CENTER You’re “sitting pretty” behind the wheel Take this Bel Air model.

You get greater getaway^ HI IMl* iy : -- : ct* Surplus Os Peanut* Bothers Growers In spite of a sharp reduction in pea nut acreage this year in North Caro lina, there is still a bothersome sur plus and prices to farmers remain at the support level. North Carolina farmers have 193,- 000 acres of peanuts this year—one third below the 1948 acreage. But they are still producing more peanuts than the edible trade needs, according to one Tar Heel agricultural leader. In commenting on the present pea nut situation, C. B. Ratchford, in charge of farm management and mar keting for the V. C. State College Ag ricultural Extension Service, says a large quantity of both the 19E1 and 1952 crops of VjrganhfaitTtfe peanuts the type Carolina are still in storage. Total-stocks on hand are equal to about 40 per cent of the 1952 crop of Virginia type peanuts. The agricultural economist doesn’t think-the situation is likely to improve until production is brought in line with the present demand for edible nuts or the demand is expanded through promotional programs. And with the heavy acreage cuts that have already taken place, Ratchford thinks the best solution to the peanut prob lem is a good promotional program. Peanut farmers will have a chance to speak for themselves at the peanut assessment referendum on August 29. pj /To «core a TRIM NAf^ L /as a good tsUphons wsar* ’ //*' I* Ant war your ftlsphooi edits promptly* II -- 2o Gfvs lh« person you ars caMng time / / to answer.
