Brief Review Of State, National And World News During The Past Week JULY TRAFFIC SETS HIGH RECORD IN N. C.

Burch, engineer of jf statistics and planning for the State Highway and Public Works Commission, said that on an aver *age day approximately 54, 600 vehicles passed 20 count ing stations located over the state where full-time electric eye re cording machines keep a constant count of motor vehicle travel.

There were 32,258 vehicles counted on an average day in July 1945 when the war with Japan was still in progress and gas rationing curtailed travel.

I 'bit they added that the pros- , pects for more steaks and pork chops by next spring were good. Some believed there would be , more meat next spring and sum- | mer than at any time since World ! War II started. i The corn crop is the key to the meat outlook, they said. If corn is plentiful, farmers will feed more of it to livestock. Fatter i animals mean more meat. This year’s corn crop promises to surpass all previous records, j The bumper crop has been esti- I mated at 3,442,202,000 bushels. . Large crops of bats, barley and hay also are anticipated, all of which adds up to more meat. CIVILIAN PROPERTY IS SOLD BY U. S. TO CHINA Shanghai—The United States sold China the bulk of surplus U. S. civilian property in the Far East, a transaction which Chinese ommunists had asserted would only intensify civil warfare.

Foreign Liquidation Commis sioner Thomas B. McCabe and Premier T. V. Soong signed the agreement here earlier in the day an dissued a statement saying the goods would speed China’s eco nomic recovery. • MEMO TO ADVERTISERS INewspaper advertising i I.
