Qovernor Issues P roc lam ation U rg in g Qood F r id a y Observance A proclamation by Governor John W. Bricker, urging observ­ ance o f Good Friday as a. day of, special prayer that “ men might be saved and peace reign among men and nations,” was received Friday from the Governor's office. Governor Brickcr’s proclamation reads: “ Whereas all people o f the Christian world will observe April II , 1941, as Good Friday, the anniversary o f the day Jesus Christ, the Savior, was crucified upon the cross, and “ Whereas, in these trying times, when the entire -world is threatened with'.war, agents o f evil are at work in man countries to drive God from the lives o f men, and “ Whereas, the life o f Jesinj Christ and His great .sacrifice to redeem- the souls of men are a constant example to us that spiritual power and consecrated lives are the first line o f our individual and national* defense, and » “ Whereas, We know that, if the rulers who are endeavoring to plunge the world into war werh faithful to the teachings o f Jesus Christ, wo would not be confronted today With a world catastrophe, “ Now, therefore, J, Jfohrt W. Bricker, Governor o f the State of Ohio; do hereby appeal to all citizens to observe Good Friday, April U , i941, with prayers and meditation, recalling the supreme sacrifice made by the Savior that men might be saved and peace reign among men1and nations. “ To this end. I direct all state departments cease activities insofar a# possible on Good Friday from 12 to 3 p. m. to permit employees to attend religious services. 1 also urge business con­ cerns to cease activities during this.period to permit their em­ ployees to join in the observance and call upon everyone to join far special prayers on 'tha t day that the teachings o f Jesus Christ, who came upon this earth as the Prince o f Peace, shall tmtimutcly prevail throughout the world,” Hornaday Resigns; Then Asks Recall 1 8 - Prosccutor Marcus Shoup has sued an opinion that when Justice J. T. Hornaday resigned to the Miami Twp. Trustees, which was accepted, remaines out of office, regardless of the fact he had asked to withdraw the resignation at a later date. The trustees named Thomas Donley, former mayor, and Hornaday refused to turn over the books to the Trustees. Then the opinion o f Prosecutor Shoup was asked for. It is claimed Hornaday, as Justice, and Constable Harry Stevens dis­ agreed over fees, and a state examin­ er was called and Hornaday made good the. .Remands. Donley has al­ ready filed his bond as Justice. Farmers Seek Labor For Spring Work Many farmers are now on the hunt' o f experience 1 farm labor due to the backward season fo r early plowing. The situation will be worse by mid­ summer as Industry, will draw heavier on rural labor by that time. In addi­ tion many farm boys will be called to camp. We hear that many owners o f small farms on the western side o f the county have given up production of any crops and accepted places in Day ton fa r t ries at high wages.

We have only a small place and Y had been our practice to raise about 12 acres each o f corn, oats, wheat and clover.* This gave us 600 bushels or more o f corn every year which we fed our horses, cattle, hogs and poultry. Com necessary for horses, cows and poultry does not change much, leaving the balance to be fed to bogs and beef, Which brought us $600 or more per year. Last year we were required to cut com ta nine acre* and allowed 37.9 bushels for base yield. From 1939 com we fattened and Sold our usual number of hogs and three beeves. From 1940 com wc fattened half as many hogs and one heef, which did bring a little more per pound. Now we have only one hog and none too much com to feed her till new com comes, bringing our in­ come dowh not less than $200. Whom does that help 7 , I believe the m tch talked corn-hog ratio is not sound reasoning, and I am not alone in that thought. The market price o f hogs heeds not be very high to make it possible to clear $1 per bushel for com fed to hog* when pigs are raised at home and Started on skimmiik. But to buy feeders on the market and buy com from the eleva­ tor plus truckage and Commission will not work. Nevertheless the proposal how is to cut acreage more ahd penalize any crop over the quoted Whether Sold or fed. Such a program will never pro­ duce more pork or beef for the city man and will certainly reduce the farmer’s income ahd purchasing pow­ er. I fear this program Is designed more to let the government unload than to help the shtail farmer, though large farms may profit by It. It Is a sad fact that soma would rather get $1 for resting than $2 for working^—H, B, Black, Morrow Co., 0 . P.

A dispatch states that Chairman W. B. Grant, announces that all draftees in that county have been placed in class 3-A rating—indefinite deferment—to all men regardless o f physical condition or other consideration—until the ad­ ministration—halts—strikes - in—this country. When questioned as to authority Grant stated that "the board had such authority and would continue to stand by the order until the government takes action to stop strikes. State headquarters questions the Grant attitude but Grant defies the state to act against the board. Grant eontiunes: “ When men can strike for $8 a day while-our boys are going td camp fo r $21 m ' month, there ia something This week a Cleveland, 0^ board dis­ plays its teeth along the same line. Many c ity boards have been abusing the classification plan by deferring a large per cent o f conscriptecs. It is said the rural boards t re sending in a larger per cent o f draftees to camps according to population than many, urban counties. .The law under which the draft \vas created leaves consideration o f each boy up to the local board. Many local boards have appealed to Washington for a uniform plan for all states and counties but this has been ignored. County Auditor Curlett Distributes Realty Tax Collection * .

F .D .R To Veto Parity Increase Is Resort The vote in the Senate last Friday when an amendment to the agricul­ tural bill was adopted over the oppo­ sition o f the Roosevelt administration, the parity price for certain farm pro­ ducts Would have bean increased from $212,000,006 to $450,000,000. The bill had passed the House with the first amount as the limit o f total pay­ ments and the measure now goes back with a joint conference. If the ad­ ministration forces cannot hold down the House vote to $212,000,000, ahd the House approves the Senate amount, it Is said Roosevelt will Veto the measure.
