The catch of fish and shellfish
in the United States and Alaska
during 1952 declined slightly In
both quantity and quality from
1951, according to the American
Peoples Encyclopedia 1953 Year
book which will be published
soon. It amounted to 4,300,000,000
pounds with a value of $335,000,
000. This was approximately 100,
000,000 pounds and $10,000,000
less than 1951.
The doctor often orders drugs to be mixed with Simple
Syrup. Let us see Just how "simple" Simple Syrup Is when
prepared according to the rigid standards of the Pharmaco
poeia of the United States. Here is the "recipe" i ? Beat 450
cc of distilled water to the boiling point and add 850 gm.
of sugar. Continue to heat cautiously, stirring until all the
sugar is dissolved and the syrup has a temperature of 100
degrees Centigrade. Then filter it through purified cotton and
pass enough distilled water through the cotton to make the
product measure 1000 cc when cold. We believe this demon
strates that there Is nothing "simple" In pharmacy. The im
portance of each step In compounding medicine demands
that it be taken with painstaking care.

Large Attendance By 30th Division
Men At Training Camp Revival Rites
FORT McCLELLAN, ALA. ? 1
High attendance marked the re
ligious revival services of the 30th
"Old Hickory" Division as its first
week of summer training came to
a close.
Dally mass was held during
the week on the post by two Ca
tholic chaplains who reported the
attendance as "good". Some 1,000
men attended seven Wednesday
meetings held for Protestants on
the post and in the field. Jewish
services were held Wednesday
night by Rabbi Harold Fineberg
who was secured by the post chap
lain. Chaplains were availbale to
the men for counsel at all times
during the week.
Major General Paul H. Jordan,
Chattanooga, Tennessee, who is
the 30th commander innovated
the unique revival. General Jor
dan explained that the purpose
of the revival is to send the
guardsmen home at the end of
training "physically, mentally,
morally, and spiritually improv
ed."
Pleased with the attendance of
the past week's services Lt. Col.
James N. Kelly, Division Chap
lain from Shelbyvllle, Tennessee,
said, "This la certainly the best
response we have had In any sum
mer camp of the 30th so far."
Prior to Sunday services a con
cert will be given by the 30th Di
vision Band. Prayer meetings on
the post at five chapels and ser
vices will be held in the field
Wednesday.
Many units are still moving in
to the field as a continued part
of their two weeks of training.
Much work is still ahead of the
North Carolina and Tennessee
men but ample facilities are be
ing provided for their off-duty
relaxation by Major Charles C.
Scott, Special Services Officer,
and Sfc. Charles Gaddy, enlisted
chief of the Special Services Sec
tion.
"Curtain Call", a musical varie
ty show, was given in the post
ampltheatre for the men Wednes
day night by the Army Special
Services of Ft. Benning, Ga. Af
terwards, young ladies from near
by Gadsden, Anniston, and Jack
sonville College in Jacksonville,
SIGNS OF LIFE
These are signs of life ? and the life they save
may be your own. Despite all efforts toward
safety through the years, traffic deaths still
total 38,000 a year. A terrible toll, one that
every person who drives can help redact.
It's no accident that telephone employees
who operate can and trucks are careful driv
en. They're pbnstantly trained in safety. The
Bell System's safety creed expresses it this
way:
"No job ti to important and no serv
ice it so urgent that we cannot toko
time to perform our work tafaly."

Alabama found many willing par- ,
tners among the men of the 30th !
as a dance was held on the paved \
area in front of one of Ft. Mc- j
Clellan's enlisted men's service
clubs.
Further entertainment arrang
ed by Major Scott and his staff
will include a wrestling match
Saturday night and a 106-team
Softball tournament.

An Increase in acreage and
generally good yield prospects in
early summer States (including
North Carolina) are expected to
result in a large crop this sea
son. In southeastern '.iabama
harvest began May 20, two
weeks earlier than normal, but
hot, dry weather has lmpared
quality and resulted in a heavy
drop of blooms. In northern Ala
bama the crop was late going
in but made satisfactory pro
gress and is now in good condi
tion. The Virginia tomato crop.
Is In good condition and the'
Eastern Shore section should be
gin harvesting greens the week
of June 15, which Is two weeks
earlier than normal. Wet weath
er delayed setting of the Ken
tucky tomato acreage and there
will apparently be few tomatoes
harvested there In June.
A preliminary estimate of can
taloup acreage for North Caro
lina shows 4,500 acres for 1953 ?
15 percent above the 3,900 acres
harvested in 1952, but 4 percent
below the 1949-51 average of 4,
700 acres. June 1 condition re
ports indicate a production of
270,000 crates ? a yield of 60 ]
crates per acre. Production last
year was 176,000 crates with an
average yield of 45 crates per
acre.

There's only one answer. . .
Chevrolet trucks
must be the best buy!
/
rw
Fleet operators, farmers, independent truckers ? truck users everywhere ?
buy more Chevrolets than any other make. There can be only one reason
?
for that: Chevrolet trucks offer more of what you want.
As the official registration figures keep roll
ing in, they keep telling the same positive
story about truck popularity and truck value:
Again in 1953, for the twelfth straight pro
duction year, truck buyers show a clear-cut
and decisive preference "for Chevrolet trucks.
If you're a truck user, this fact is mighty
important to you. Why? Well, as you know,
trucks are built and bought for just one
reason? to do a job. So isn't it logical then
that since Chevrolet trucks outsell all others,
they must do a better job at lower cost?
That's why it will pay you to stop in and
sec us before you buy your next truck.
MORE CHEVROLET TRUCKS IN USE THAN ANY OTHER MAKE!
