Beef Calf Club Roundup A Greene County Beef Calf Club Roundup was planned for November 6, by the Beef Calf committee a t a re cent meeting according to James Haw­ kins, chairman. Plans are being made to make this one of the biggest af­ fairs ever held in connection with the Beef Calf Club, The program will consist of a banquet, talks and enter­ tainment. The Roundup is to include boys and their dads who have fed calves in the past, also boys interested in feeding calves in the future. Plans for next year’s Beef Calf Club were discussed by the beef calf com­ mittee. They decided not to purchase and distribute any calves. Calves will be purchased by each boy desiring to feed a calf for next year. Calves may be financed and insured as in the past. The committee or county agent will be glad to help any boy locate calves for next years project. All calves should be on feed not later than December 1, stated Robert Bernard, acting county agricultural agent.

Route 40 bisects Ohio from Wheeling, W. Va., to Indianapolis, Ind., and is of outstanding interest, not only in Ohio’s history, but nationally, as it is a portion of the route used by pioneers in taking civilization west­ ward. It is anticipated that a con­ certed celebration will tend not only to educate Ohioans as to the route’s historic significance, but also will at­ tract trans-continental tourist travel. Assimilation of astronomic figures appears to have reached the severest teat when a recent report was filed with President Roosevelt 4>y the Na­ tional Resources Committee, convey­ ing the information that the last seven years of depression, had cost the •U.

Two Local Boys Enlist In Navy Elton Frame, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Frame, and Jay Peterson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Peterson, Xenia pike, left Tuesday for Cincinnati, to complete their entrance in the U. S. Navy at Providence, R. 1, XENIA OPENS NEiW CITY HALL SATURDAY TO PUBLIC The. so-called Bigelow pension plan amendment was characterized Monday by Edwin J. Bath, legislative representative of the Ohio Farm Bu­ reau, as the “most serious threat ever directed against Ohio homes and farms, Ohio schools, Ohio welfare-in stitutions, and the stability of Ohio government.” The proposed land tax provision does not stipulate whether “land ex- ceeding $20,000 an acre" includes im­ provements, and it was pointed out that the Ohio Attorney General, all standard legal dictionaries, and long line of Supreme Court decisions” include improvements within the meaning of. the.,word “land.” This would -mean, if so extended by the courts, that the new 2-mill tax on real estate would include most homes and farms, Bath said. The Ohi o American Legion this week publically went on record as op­ posed- to the Bigelow pension plan as well as the proposed change for sig­ natures for initiated hills. The Legion warned that the latter proposal would tear down established constitutional form of government. Dr. Francis E. Townsend, founder of the Townsend plan for old age pen­ sions addressed some, 2,500 people in (Memorial hall in Columbus, Sunday, and warned his followers that the Bigelow' pl&n would wreck the state and cause those now receiving old age pensions to loose what they had. He called attention to Colorado adopting a plan similar to that of Bigelow and that the promised $50 a month could not be paid as there was not enough -money from taxation. The most that has been paid has been $19 a month in that state. ' Master James Kirk, Ohio State Grange, issues a statement opposing not only the Bigelow amendments but every other referendum to be voted upon this fall.' Kirk says the cost will fall heaviest on the homes and farms of the state. The Select List of Ohio Dailies m session Monday as an organization is opposing the Bigelow proposals as a threat to the security of municipal­ ities, townships, counties and school districts in the state.' The two per cent tax on real estate a t a supposed $20,000 value will hit all property own­ ers and increases the tax rate frpm one per cent to three per cent. The directors of the Ohio newspaper As­ sociation in session last Thursday in Columbus called upon all newspapers, metropolitan, small daily- and weekly, to vigorously oppose the Bigelow pro­ posals. Every county in the state is being organized against the Bigelow pension plan. The cost will require new taxes in many forms and tax money, now raised for county, muncipal and school; governments will go for pension, pur­ poses, leaving the different taxing dis­ tricts in a poverty stricken situation. There would be no funds for school teacher salaries, fire or police protec­ tion in the largest city or the smallest town. : The Bigelow plan repeals the pre­ sent old age pension tax that is now paying about $23 ft month, one half of which is paid by the federal gov­ ernment. The exact language of the Bigelow proposal is “ . , . provided, in all cases, the persons ‘are retired SCHOOL NEWS .Cafeteria Supper Our annual cafeteria supper will be served Friday evening, October 20, from five-thirty to eight o’clock.

Valuable Colt Shot By Hunters; Belief A valuable prize colt beloning to Mrs. Grotta Harris, just north of Clifton, died Tuesday of perintonitis, according to a post mortem.

He leaves three brothers, Carlton, who re­ sides on the homf farm; Raymond and Edmond, of Xenia, and number of, uncles, aunts and cousinB in Greene County. The funeral Was held Tuesday, with burial in Woodland Cemetery. GOV. BRICKER SAYS NO Since the section of State Route 42 between here and Xenia has been re­ paved traffic has greatly improved, especially that of .heavy trucks. County as well as stale authorities should give careful attention to truck traffic. At times from three to five and six trucks' single file which makes it dangerous for passenger cars to get around. Other times 6ne or more trucks speed Up to pass other trucks. There has been much complaint the past few Weeks as to conduct of truck drivers. Similar complaints have been made as to traffic bin the Dayton-Xettla road. Gov. John W. Bricker in his address] before the gathering of Ohio farmers at the State Fair Grounds this week predicted it would cpst $311,000,000, or twice as much as the state now spends yearly, if the Bigelow Old Age pension plan is adopted. This new taxes would fall on the farmer as Well as all property owners.
