Citizens Service
Corps Under Way
—-®
Bateman Points To It As
Part of Civilian De
fense Program
P Bruce Bateman, chairman
Washington County Defense Coun
cil. is also interested in the United
States Citizens Service Corps as one
part of the civilian defense program.
In each community it consists of a
oordinating committee of prominent
•itizens. representing various organi
zations and groups, and of sub-com
mittees for various community pur
poses connected with the war effort.
Said Mr. Bateman:
The Citizens Service Corps is
charged with responsibility of lead
ing the fight against inefficiency, in
security and poor health. Anyone
may join who is willing to give his
spare time to volunteer war work on
the home front. Persons over 16 may
register with the volunteer office of
their local Defense Council, boys and
girls under 16 should inquire of their
teachers or club leaders. Tire local
Defense Council, through its Ser
vice Corps executive, has the power
to decide who shall be admitted to
the Service Corps. All Councils will
ask that candidates be qualified in
one of these three ways:
By completing a prescribed train
ing course, officially approved by the
council, in preparation for a volun
teer work assignment.
Bv completing a prescribed course
of apprenticeship.
By completing 50 hours of work,
for which no specific training course
is required, in a volunteer position
approved by the local Defense Coun
cil. The only type of training course
which qualifies a person for member
ship in the Service Corps is one that
prepares that person for community
war service.
‘Service opportunities for the
Corps are many and varied. In gen
eral they include whatever volunteer
work- outside of civilian protection

—the community needs to prepare
itself for war.
"In a word, the Citizens Service
Corps is the means of mobilizing all
citizens for all-out war effort by
placing the entire strength of the
people behind our soldiers at the
front.
"The insigne of the Corps is a red
block V placed in the center of a
white equlateral triangle, a red C and
a red D placed respectively to the
left and the right of the V and half
its size, and the white triangle em
bossed on a circular field of blue.”

The Secretary of Agriculture has

Cotlon Covers For
Baled Colton Add
To Its Appearance
Helps To Relieve Critical
Shortage of Regularly
Used Jute
• -§
Cotton bale covers or "wrappers"
will play an important part in the
marketing of this year's crop, ac
cording to J. A. Shanklin, cotton
specialist of the N. C State College
Extension Service.
Not only will they give North Ca
rolina cotton growers a neat-appear
ing and well-protected bale, but also
they will assure an
opportunity to
use a fabric manufactured from their
own product.
Shanklin explained that coopera
tive efforts of all major cotton trade
organizations and the Agricultural
marketing administration of the U.
S. department of agriculture recent
ly resulted in a program whereby
growers would receive a 7-pound
gross weight allowance when they
market their cotton.
"By using cotton covers or pat
terns." the State College specialist
said, "growers are helping to relieve
the critical shortage of jute brought
on by the war. All producers have
the right to demand that 7 pounds
be added to the gross weight of their
cotton-covered bales when they sell
their lint.”
Jute wrappers and ties on a 500- ;
pound bale weigh around 21 pounds. ]
while the cotton patterns and ties!
weigh about 14 pounds. The Depart- '
ment of Agriculture has operated a
program to make patterns available
at a reasonable price, and the 1942
program provides for a production of
4.000.000 cotton patterns.
Around 11,000 bales of cotton are
used in the making of a million pat
terns. Shanklin pointed out. There
is about six yards of fabric in a pat
tern.
It is estimated that 130.000 bales
will make enough patterns to cover
a 12.000.000-bale crop.
