State Office Says
CCC Now Open To
Unemployed Youth
Unemployment and the need of
the training available rather than
a family’s need for reilef funds
Conservation Corps now is theb
will broaden the third quarter Ci
vilian Conservation Corps accep
tance operations in North Caro
lina, T. L. Grier, State CCC sel
ection supervisor, said this week.
Acceptance of 2,405 enrollees
will be held at Raleigh July 1,
Wilmington July 2, Asheville
July 9 and 10, and at North Caro
lina CCC camps from July 1 to
20. County welfare superintend
ents are lqral selecting agencies
operating in conjunction with the
State Board of Charities and Pub
lic Welfare, State selection agen
cy.
“Enrollment is open to all men
not employed and in need of work
who are between the ages of 13
and 25, and no applicant will now
be excluded from selection be
cause his family is not in need
of the allottment to be sent home
each month,” Grier stated.
He quoted J. J. McEntee, nat
ional corps director, to the effect
that the greatest field of service
for the CCC lies in training'large
numbers of skilled and semi-skill
ed mechanics with elementary en
gineering experience.
With the CCC operating and
maintaining the largest group of
mechanized equipment in the
country, 63 central repair shops
will be in operation by the fall
in which unemployed youths can
learn to repair trucks, power sho
vels. pumps, graders, generators
and compressors under a full
time instructor.
Fifteen hundred camp garages
give an additional work space for
repair and maintenance of 40,000
pieces of automotive machinery
constituting a vast laboratory for
repairs and maintenance on
which 72,000 enrollees are con
stantly learning garage mechan
ics.
Each of the 1,500 camps conducts
a cooking and baking school in
which 22,000 boys have been
trained in kitchen activities since
1933. Trained instructors in each
camp have taught first aid work
to 300,000 yoiiths since beginning
of the program. #
Road and bridge construction,
telephone line construction and
repair, shortwave radio operation
and photography all will now be
available to unemployed youths
with no work experience to fit
them for a job later in life.
Grier quoted Senator James F.
Byrnes as saying that in event of
national emergency necessitating
a general draft, youth with me
chanical and cooking experience
in the CCC might as the result cf
such training be assigned to non
combatant activities rather than
to combat work in uniform.

North Carolina
Beer Sales Down
Below Nation’s
Raleigh, June 29 The per
capita consumption of beer in
North Carolina is less than one
fourth of the per capita consump
tion in the United States.
Figures compiled by the Brew
ers and North Carolina Beer Dis
tributors committee disclosed that
North Carolina consumed 9,474,-'
034 gallons of beer during the 12- |
month period ended May 30
less than three gallons per per
son a year. The nation’s per capita
consumption is approximately
12 1-2 galons.
During these 12 months, the
state consumed 305,614.72 for the
corresponding period of the 1938-
39 year, acording to records of the
State Department of Revenue.
Despite this 12 percent increase,
the per capita consumption in
North Carolina is low, indicating
that this state is not a beer-drink
ing state. The per capita consump
tion for the nation is more than
four times as much, while some
states drink seven times as much.
Retail sales for the past 12
months were largest in August
and October with June a close
second. With only one exception
—January—the monthly sales
this year have shown an increase
over the corresponding months
of the previous 12-month period,
it was announced.
North Carolinians also prefer
their beer in bottles and cans—
packaged sales representing ap
proximately 90 per cent of the
state’s volume for the past year.

Tobacco Festival
To Follow History
In Annual Pageant
South Boston, Va., June 29
(Special to Times) At James
town, Va., in 1608, tobacco was
first grown by a whiteman, John
Rolfe. In 1935, tobacco was first
glorified at South Boston, Va.
with the inauguration of the an
nual National Tobacco Festival.
There is something melodramatic
about the interim between 16C3
and 1935. These phases of the
growth of the tobacco industry
will be graphically depicted in a
great outdoor pageant at the sixth
annual National Tobacco Festi
val in South Boston, on Thursday
and Friday, September 5 and 6.
This will constitute only one of
the many especially prepared fea
tures for the entertainment of a
nation, already beset with war
news, but ready and waiting for
a major event to distract the
mind and relieve a certain hys
teria now existing.
Patriotism will be the theme of
the sixth celebration, and through
the efforts of the National Tobac
co Festival, a great American ag
ricultural product will be placed
ference between packaged and
draught beer sales.
