SIXTY-SECOND YEAR NO. 20 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 14,1939 PRICE, $1.50 A YEAR HAPPENINGSIN WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J, BROWN Member o f Congress, Seventh Ohio District COURT NEWS Colt Racing Will Start At Co. Fair NEWPUMPER Frank R. Dean Died In Dayton COLLEGE The Ohio Colt Racing Association WILLARRIVE Frank RusBell Dean, 79, died Wed- Speaking o f gold—an expert on the rare metal told u group o f congress- ment the other day that gold-was be- ing -produced in limited, quantities in this country at an approximate cost of fifteen dollars per ounce. According to the expert, the cost o f production o f gold. in Mexico is about fourteen dollars an ounce; in South America from thirteen to fourteen •dollars; while in South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and the Philippines, the cost drops as low as twelve dollars. Originally, in the United States be­ fore gold coinage "was stopped, the price of gold was fixed at twenty dollars and sixty-seven cents per ounce. Early in the New Deal Ad­ ministration the price was arbitrarily advanced to thirty-five.dollavs. If the; cost of production figures given alriv<. is collect it can easily be seen why gold is flowing here so rapidly, for each ounce o f foreign gold sent to this country buys thirty-five dollars worth o f American goods or credit, which can easily be transferred for credit in some foreign country. The accumula­ tion of gold in the United States has grown so rapidly and in such large proportions that many students o f monetary systems see danger in the situation. Gold, after- aill," is only worth what it will buy in goods and materials in markets of the world. We might find ourselves in a pretty pickle, with most of the gold in the world, if other nations should decide they were no longer interested in ob­ taining gold by exchange or otherwise, and.would recognize only some other medium o f exchange, in conducting in­ ternational trade and commerce. TRIAL DATE SET An eight-year-old taxpayers’ suit in which Mrs, E. M, Anderson and others seek to recover $390 for the benefit o f the Xenia township rural school district has been assigned.for a third jury trial next Monday ip common pleas court. Presiding on the bench by assignment will be Judge George W. McDowell o f Highland County, in place o f Judge Frank L. Johnson of Greene County, who with­ drew because he was formerly in­ terested in the case as an attorney, SETTLEMENT. APPROVED Attorney and Mrs. Morris D. Rice, Osborn, have received probate court permission t o . accept a compromise payment o f $500 from Hallie C.

CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION Constitutionality o f the Ohio law under which an affidavit o f racial dis­ crimination was filed against Donald Foster, employe o f the Xenia theatre, is challenged in a demurrer filed in municipal court by Judge George H. Smith, defense counsel. Foster pleaded not guilty to the affidavit; filed by Inez Edwards, Wil- berforce, and demanded a jury trial which was assigned for April 21. The court permitted Foster to withdraw his plea with the privilege o f enter­ ing a new plea later, in order to per­ mit filing o f the demurrer. The demurrer charge the Ohio statute is in conflict with the federal and state- constitutions^ The com­ plaining witness, .a Negress, charges Foster refused to sell her a ticket of admission to the theater. During the. past ten days legisla­ tion in both the House and the Senate has moved at a slow pace. In the House most o f the time has been de­ voted to District o f Columbia matters, while the Senate drawn-out debate on the .WPA Deficiency Appropriation has taken up days o f time. However, while the actual sessions of Congress seem to be accomplishing but little, the real work continues in the various committees, where hearings are being conducted on important bills. That party affiliations do not con- rol in matters o f war and peace was .ttested to a few days ago by happen- ngs in the Senate committee hearing n proposed neutrality laws, Henry j. Sthnson, Secretary of State under lerbert Hoover, appeared as a wit­ less and urged that Congress give ’resident Roosevelt free rein in inter- latioiial affairs to throw) the weight of his country against agressor nations n case of foreign wars. He was fol- owed by Bernard Baruch, famous inancier, war-time advisor of Presi- lent Woodrow Wilson, and outstand- ng Democrat, who just as strongly nsisted that Congress should see to t that the United States keep her lands off and her nose out o f quar- •Cls across the sea by adopting a strict leutralitr policy and treating all bel- igerents alike in commercial and ither transactions. With two great Americans such as *Stimson and Baruch, both o f whom have had wide ixperience in diplomatic and interna- ;ional> affairs, differing so widely as ;o. the policies the United States ityould adopt, it can be understood why so.many varied opinions on the natter now exist among the member- ihip o f our national legislature. PRISONER PAROLED Milton Walls, 25, Xenia, a prisoner in the county jail, was awarded a parole this week by county commis­ sioners, Walls was fined $50 and costs, and given a thirty-day jail sentence in municipal, court last Feb. 27 on charges o f theft and intoxica­ tion. . The parole was conditional that he pay the balance due on the fine at the rate of $2 a week. Xenia Merchants Ban Stamp Boxes Xenia Retail Merchants' associa­ tion members will bar organizations from collection o f sales tax stamps and will not permit their employes to assist in such a collection, according to a resolution formally adopted by the association at its meeting Thurs­ day night.

Missing Man Found In Hay-Mow On Hamman Farm Pouring rain failed to have any noticeable effect an the armed forces of the United' States that participated in the great Army Day Parade here last Thursday. Marking the twehty- secondVamdvcrsary of America's en­ try into the wor]d war, the demon­ stration o f our country’s prepared­ ness and the exhibition of the lastest in war equipment attracted thou­ sands o f spectators. The great parade o f more than thirty thousand par­ ticipants swung through the esplanade in front o f the Capitol and down Con­ stitution Avenue past the reviewing stand at the rear of the White House, infantry, cavalry, artillery, machine guns arid tanks, swept by in perfect precision, giving a sense o f pride and security to those who watched them. But to the thoughtful the parade sec­ tion made up o f the medical corp, am­ bulances, and the smartly uniformed war nurses, brought an even deeper realization o f the terrific cost in hu­ man suffering that is the toll o f every war. and Mrs. Max Not* (nee Isa- Owens), o f Dayton, spent with the latter’s .father, and Mr, Elmer Owens, and sister, CLEARED OF CHARGE Auto theft charges against William Hanifan, 46, Xenia fireman, and Charles Lucas, 29, Xenia, have been dropped and cases against them have been dismissed on application of the prosecuting witnesses and agreement of attorneys. The cases had been scheduled, for municipal court Friday. Costs were assessed against the prosecuting witnesses. Hanifan, sus­ pended four weeks ago by City Man­ ager M. C. Smith, following his ar­ rest, was still under suspension Fri­ day as City Manager Smith was not ready to comment on the case. The prosecution was based on charges that an automobile owned by Harry M. Fudge was taken from a parking place in Xenia on March I I and driven to Wilmington by Lucas and Hanifan and abandoned there. Hanifan claimed he went along for the ride and did not know the machine was stolen. Lucas also was accused o f taking an auto in Wilmington which he abandoned four miles from there. DIVORCE SUIT DECISION The second district court o f appeals on Tuesday rendered a decision in the granting o f a divorce to Mrs, Helen E. Sheehan, from Ralph C. Sheehan, Spring Valley farmer, on grounds o f cruelty. Alimony was set at $8,- 783.75. The testimony' covered 400 pages as taken in the original hear­ ing in Common Pleas Court. The case was regarded aS unusual, After the couple had lived together 25 years in apparent harmony, their marital differences be^an during a serious illness o f the husband when a professional nurse waa employed to attend him, the appellate court pointed out. Tranquility o f the Sheehan home Was disturbed when the husband be­ came infatuated with his rturse. “ Had the matter been before Us in the original trial, we should have hesitated to grant a divorce in the hope passage o f time and the absence of the nurse would have brought the parties again in reasonable harmony," commented Judge Frank"* Geiger, Springfield, who wrote the opinion, . ‘-‘It is a repetition o f the oft-re­ peated story o f two who have travel­ ed long together, When they have ‘reached mid-channel in the married journey in the married journey, can­ not survive the choppy seas that are often there encountered,1* Judge Geig­ er asserted, “ A little patience and a little mutual consideration ' could readily have avoided disastrous con sequences," Horace Shambaugh, 46, farmer, Xenia Twp., who was missing for several days, was found Sunday after­ noon, the man had lived for four nights iii the hay mow on the Harry Hamman farm east o f town, Arthur Huffman, the tenant, inform­ ed Sheriff Henkel, that he .had not discovered the man until Sunday afternoon. i Shambaugh was taken to Xenia by the sheriff and after examination by a physician it was determined that he had suffered a lapse o f memory but was otherwise not effected .bjr the exposure. He was returned to his time.

McKay, draftsman. in the Greene county engineer’s office and oldest courthouse employe in point o f service. ■ Now serving his 46th year, Mr. Mc­ Kay takes particular pride in keep­ ing the county map up to date by watching real estate transfers. When land tracts change hands, he" makes an erasure on the map (lifting the ink. off neatly with a safety razor blade) and substitutes the name o f t » new owner. Tracing a completely new map is a tedious matter and the veteran en­ gineering deputy is’ thankful this be­ comes necessary on the average, only once every 12 years when they wear out. He draws a variety of city, township . and other maps, but hesitates at the total number he has made in nearly half a century. Mr. McKay'was not quite 20 when he. .became identified, with the engine­ er’s office Jan. 4,1893. He first served under hi's father tho late George A. McKay, who held office until his death in 1908.
