Bread Shortage May Last Despite WASHINGTON. Juno 11 (P) Bread and flour shortages for at least another year waa the forecast handed American house wives today despite the start on harvesting another of the na tion's bumper wheat crops. The agriculture department reported considerable Improve ment In bread and flour sup plies is expected In another month, but hardly to the extent needed to meet all domestic and famine relief demands before the 1947 harvest. The bread scarcity in a num ber of major cities meanwhile verged on the acute stage, and Membership Plea Mapped By Jaycees A whirlwind membership drive was outlined at the Mon day night business meeting of the Jaycees, and President Ray Ward appointed Maurice Miller and Forest Alter as co-chairmen of the drive. Miller announced that the membership would be divided into teams under 10 chairmen. Prizes will be award' ed for the most successful com mittee, and four individual prizes will be awarded when the drive is completed sometime in July. Nine new memDers were ac cepted last night.

Soap, butter and cooking fats ranked next on the list of increasingly hard-to-get items. The outlook in the cities cov ered seemed to be that these shortages would grow worse be fore the situation improved. Harvesting of the new wheat crop promised to ease the bread flour picture, but complex un certainties made the prospects dubious for any big improve ment in the supply of meats, or fats. Billion Bushels Estimated In its June crop report issued yesterday, the agriculture de partment said the third consecu tive billion-bushel wheat crop and the third largest crop of record was indicated by condi tions prevailing on June 1. The crop estimate was put at 1. 025,509,000 bushels, or about 25,000,000 bushels more than was indicated a month earlier, While about 100,000.000 bushels below last year s record harvest, this year's crop stands out as a large one in comparison to the Scouts Ready Summer Camp Members from all sections of the Boy Scout Modoc area coun cil were in the four-day work party at the Crescent lake sum mer camp alst week, according to R. H. Lamott, camp director and local Boy Scout executive. Forty-five people made up the party and installed 1000 feet of pipe line and cleared trees from the camp site in preparation for this year's camping season. Senior members of the Scout council and some Eagle Scouts helped in the work. An executive board meeting was held at the camp Saturday night, presided over by K. G. Klahn, district chairman. Eleven members of the board made up the quorum and discussed rou tine council business and finances. The board decided to take colored moving pictures of the camp this year, consisting of work each troop will do at the camp and some of the develop ments and improvements made recently.

There still is time for further Improvement in production pros pects particularly in the more northern producing areas where the crop matures later but it Is hardly possible for the filial outturn to be large enough to allow consumers all they want. The agriculture department accordingly went ahead with a wheat conservation program calling for (1) continuation of the present 80 per cent flour extraction rate; (2) limitation of flour for domestic consumption to 85 per cent of last year's level beginning July 1, com pared with 75 per cent for June, and (3) discouraging the feeding of wheat to livestock.
