The year began with mild temper­ atures and phenomenal rains, ascribed by State Meteorologist J. C. Fisher as the direct cause of the; disastrous January Ohio River flood and lesser inundations over the State. ) Hair, sleet, storms of. tornado-like proportions ard two minor earth­ quakes added material during the year for the ever-recurring topic of con­ versation—the weather. Unusually mild temperatures were recorded in February, but wet,weather! delayed spring plowing and planting and hampered the- fall wheat harvest* Corn was one of the few crops which thrived. Fall temperatures were described by Fisher as generally above normal, 9,42 Inches of Rain \ January rainfall for the State averaged 9,42 inches, the largest a,- mount for any month since September,: 1866, when the average was' 9.67 inches. ■The 1936 January average was 1,66 inches. . , ; With but four exceptions, January, 1937, .also was the warmest initial month. The ' average : temperature was 35.9 degrees compared with the 1936 January average o f 22.7 degrees. "The phenomenal January precip­ itation,, following heavy rains the-last five days of December, 1936, naturally resulted in ,floods,” Fisher explained. “Flood stages on , the Ohio,. River tributaries such as the Muskingum, Hocking and Scioto, were- generally reached by the middle-of the month and maintaihed until near'the close.” A mild February left rivlers and lakes-comparatively. free of ice.. The Toledo Weather Bureau reported that the steamer iE.,C. Pope arrived light from Detroitj Mich., opening navaga- tion on Lake Erie earlier than at any time since records were started in 1891. The steamer loaded and started back the following day. March was unusually dry, only five such months having less precipitation recorded sihee records began in' 1883.

George had for their guest last week, Mr*. George’s mother* Mrs. Jackson, and sister, Florence* of Dayton. Mrs, Clara Morton and daughter, Mr*. Norman Sweet,. Rossford, O,, have been Spending the Holiday here, expecting to return next Tuesday1. There is altogether too much tuber-, culosis in Greene County. Since 11 persons are known to have advanced tuberculosis, since nine others are known to be moderately advanced since 108 others have been diagnosed positively* it would seem that it Was time for" a sustained drive to stamp out this disease. * In some parts of the country tuberculosis has been practically eli­ minated in cattle. Is there no possi­ bility at accomplishing tho same thing in man? Of course the problem of tuberculosis is much more simple in cattle, those found infected being im­ mediately slaughtered. Such a pro­ cedure in man would hardly he1con­ doned, although we sometimes wonder whether sudden death isn’t much pre ferdhle to slow death extending over a pperiod of months or years. It is a sad thing for a doctor to he compelled to tell a family that a patient Will inevitably die in spite of everything that^can bi? done. Never­ theless that is the sad story in most cases •of advanced tuberculosis, A death sentence Is not fin easy thing for a doctor to pronounce. Even, though the patient recovers It means month* and even years of seeking an elusive cure, if the word ettre can ever be used. With present day facilities no MM should reach the advanced stage be* fore diagnosis, As a matter o f fact we feel that we can, truthfully say that few if any cases need ever reach the advanced stage. It' may be that we can go a stojp farther and say no person need die with . tuberculosis* Early diagnosis will save many litas. The time is at ’hand* *6 it appears to me, to begin a concentrated cam- paign to sell beer to the housewife. ’ Until now, there -have been only sporadic attempts ,in this direction; only a few brewers or distributors have given thought to the importance of the housewife; only a few feeble publicity campaigns have been started in that direction. Surely the import­ ance of the housewife is a thing to conjure with, and nfever so important than at this time* when Juvenile Pro­ tective Leagues and others are atack- ing the methods pursued in the dis­ tribution of beer in its relation to American home life.—Tho Brewer’s Journal. - - Kind words cheer heavy hearts. "The simple Conclusion, then, is that'a driver can’t play safe by tak­ ing a glass of beer instead o f a ‘shot’ before he goes out in his car,. For he still will be on the short end o f the odds against death and tragedy,” Evangeline Booth says: "Drink has drained more blood, hung more crepe,' sold more homos, plunged more people into bankruptcy, armed More vilHaa*; slam more children, snapped more wedding rings, defiled more towiyencf, blinded more,eyes, twisted more limbs, dethroned Mdre reason, ' wracked more manhood, dishonored. more womanhood* -broken more b*srti- blasted more lives, driven mere to suicide, and dog more graves than any other poisoned scourge that ever swept its death-dealing waves across the world,” At the reorganization o f tho Greta* County Fair Board, N. » , Hunt*, PtaMdtat; Rtasidtat; ifts.
