" Camp Traditions
When this camp was first estab
lished the boy3 formlsd a few terms
relating to camp life. Some of these
tdrms have gone out of existence,
and seme are still used. The com
pany strength is back to 200 men.
A favorite expression that was
coined and is still used i3 "The Two
Hundred." There is a sense of pride
in being able to say that, and it
does not take long for a new man
to fall in with the spirit of it.
With the arrival of new men in
camp the fellows w!(o. have been
enlisted for sorrie time always greet
them- as "fresh meat". This expres
sion is used in a jovial way, and new
men seldom if ever, resent it.
It is very interesting to watch the
changes that one week's experienca
in a camto brings ebout in the at
titude of new men. There is a
customary reaction the first night
in camp. They are always noisy
that night, even after the lights are
oat. mmlickintr one another, mak
ing barn yard noises, whistling and
hooting. After the first night how
ever, they are usually ready for
rest and sleep.
Varied List of Tasks Performed
I By New Men
The men that came he July 16,
had not been to a reconditioning
" amp. It was necessary to give them
some preliminary training here.
This is being done under the direc
tion of Lieut. Saul L. Avner, camp
surgeon. Lieutenant Avner had
every rim to go through a sdries
of exercises last week. It was sur
prising to see how well these men
' performed ethese exercises-.'-' "
Every new member has been giv
en the sniiallpox vaccination, and
will receive the third dose of typhoid'
innoculation thia week. This among
other things, has made it necessary
fit the men to work in the camp
area.
The second boat load of lumjber
for the building of barracks arrived
last week. The new men were as
signed to the task of unloading
lumber. Various tasks that these
men have been doi.ig include: un
loading lumbar, cutting wood, cut
ting grass and cleaning ditches.
Educational and Religious Programs
Going Strong
There has been an unusual reading
response since opening of the new
library. The library is conveniently
located in the recreation hall, and
the boys are taking advantage of
it.
The recreation hall is the center
of both the educational and religious
activities. It is being made quite
attractive. Curtains hava been placed
at all the windows. A number of
rocking chairs and straight back
chairs have been bought, and quite
a bit of interior cairpenter work is
being done.
A young peoples meeting has been
organized. The first service was held
Sundiay evening. A Sunday school
class is being organized. Sunday
school services will be held on Sun
day n(ornings.
With all these activities the re
creation hall is all that the name
implies and the carpentry work
being done now includes this id.;a.
r or some time ping pong ana
checks hav beeen populalr indoor
recreational game's. Other games
and equipment will follow.
Athletics
- The Bell Island baseball team
played 'the Pungo river team here
last week. It was the first game
since the team) has been reorgan
ized and the team was at some
disadvantage. Howey.er, the boys
have shown great spirit and took
defeat from the Pungo boys score
'6-1 with a grin. The Bell Island
tea ml hopes to even up the score
later on.
Swimming is still the most popu
lar snort. The new men have takeen
quite an Interest in swimtming. Some
of them have shown a great deal of
Skill. ,
The extremely hot weather has
slowed down athletic activities; but

Best Opportunities
In Texile Industry
That the textile industry offers
exceptional opportunities to young
men with a textile education is
evidenced by the following quota
tion which was taken from an ar
ticle entitled "Bull Market For i3,
Graduates of Textile Schools," in
the June issue of Textile World:
"Reports from the schools were al
most monotonous in their repetition
of the fact that the graduates had
found employment before commence
ment."
Every memjber of the 1934 gradu
ating class at th'e textile chool of
State college secured employment in
the textile industry, and Dr. Thomas
Nelson, dean, of the textile school,
stated that the requests for men
exceeded the number in the gradu
ating class. A large majority of
these young men will be located in
North Carolina, thus indicating
that a textile education enables , coopratives or -ort" varoima. ana

Che'JV , Dealers
, uOver 35,000
0 Automobile Radios
Detroit, July 24 Chevrolet deal,
rs have sold 35,000 automobile
radios to purchasers of new Chev
rolet cars in the last 90 days, M. D.
Douglas, parts and service manager
Of the Chevrolet Motor company, an
nounced here today. The report cov
ers . only the sets installed in New
1934 Chevrolets. It does not include
the additional thousand3 purchased
from Chevrolet dealers If; owners o
other cars or of earlier Chevrolets.
While the accomplishment is im-
portant in itself, as' setting, an alP
time record for radio sales by Chev
rolet dealers. Chevrolet officials are
especially interested in it as an in
dex of the public's increased buying
power. It signifies that many auto
mobile buyers instead of contenting
themselves with the car itself, have
enough ' money over and above its
purchase price to indulge their de
sire for additional comfort, luxury
and employment. The situation, it
i3 pointed out, did not exist a year
ago, and the fact that it does exist
today is a proof of returning goof
times.
