Friday, Hay 1 5 ,194S let the record speak in state library squabble Every Okie citizen opt o f hi* teen* recalls the famous Vic Doaahey 95c baked potato case when he was State Auditor. The bill o f a state employee who had charged a meal on a train where one o f the spuds on the menu was listed as 35c was held up. What a holiday the Democrats in the state made o f that finding and from it Vic stepped into the governor’s chair for three terms, ■ Governor Bricker has a “ baked potato” on his hands at present but this time the “ potato shoe” is on a Democratic foot. With Republicans wearing the Donahey brand o f footwear that was a mark in history, Today with a 93,500 personal expense bill charged up to State librarian Paul Noon, having increased more than a $1,000 over the year 1940, the Democrats think ft perfectly horrible that the Governor should, demand an ex­ planation, and so do a lot o f those on the library payroll in the state. The Governor asked for a report o f the department just as he'Is required to do with all departments. When his atten- tion was called to the fast growing personal expense account in addition to a good salary he wanted an explanation. For some reason Noon preferred to resign ratherp than have a 85c potato incident smeared over the first page o f the Ohio press. Then the library door-bell ringers began to get busy and pic­ ture tbe horrors that would'soon becloud the, state library sys­ tem. AH the New Deal spenditia fever is not in Washington. It does seem the fever has quite a hold on the followers o f the donkey that try to emulate Franklin 0 ;. who became the world’s greatest spender even before the World War No. 2. To save thC library doorbell ringers shoe leather that is so badly needed by our boys in the service at home and abroad we suggest that Governor Bricker make public the findings against the resigned official. -Every village and township offi­ cia l' as well as county officers kqow how their books are check­ ed by representatives o f the Bureau o f Accounting no*w Super- Jvised by a Democratic State Auditors I f a village marshal, Re­ publican or Democrat, should have to face a “ 35-cent potato” over-charge it would be a black spot for sure. Why not let the citizens o f Ohio have tbe report Governor?

SCHOOL DEPORTMENT WAS AT STAKE It is almost unbelievable that a breach, in school deport­ ment. Could cause friction between a board o f education and faculty and then spread over a community served by the schools as did the unfortunate event that has becomes history and a mark Yellow Springs citizens will not be proud o f as the years go by. Greene countians sat back to watch the daily cycle o f-events in the controversy and many, many, times did we hear the comment that* we must have reached a stage in our educational makeup where school, deportment was no long­ eron principle to be recognized or even observed and that the teaching force was duty bound to mould themselves into a concrete body to stand for what everyone must admit was right. A .vital issue was at stake in the controversy and Greene county citizens, outside o f the territory’ served, by the Yellow Springs schools, freely commended the stand o f the school fac­ ulty. Yellow Springs has many citizens who have high attain­ ments for good sch oo l and proper training o f youth. They no doubt do not approve all that was said or done in the heat of the controversy. It is going to be up to them to take the lead­ ership in the future to see that both members, o f the board of education and faculty stand fo r the best interests Ofthe schools. At no time should this issue have .ever resChedtbe public. On matters o f deportment it is up to the board to,'back the faculty. Society will accept no other view or excuse and the state will in the end see that deportment is observed, « It. is not only unfortunate for Yellow Springs that the scandal reached the public but the county as well. Public senti­ ment was crystalizing fast. The open apologies given the fac­ ulty we hope has cured all ill feeling. There is nothing worse' than a school fight unless it is a “ church choir fight.” GASOLINE RATIONING STIRS POPULACE . I f we read the daily press correctly the present gasoline rationing is causing a lot o f headache for Washington New Dealers. That there is some shortage there can be no argument but all the oil trade papers say there is yet the usual ten-day supply amounting to millions o f gallons with the railroads de­ livering 750*090 gallons daily in the East. In this section we are told every storage tank is full* of surplus gasoline and the same is true in the largest and smallest oil fields, The reduced traffic has cut consumption until the oil companies are facing the need o f more storage. Some seventeen states have been placed under rationing by the New Deal, all along the Atlantic coast. Complaint on the matter o f issuing cards is disturbing members of congress, .who were given “ all they Want" under the Henderson orders o f “X” cards, even though the members did not ask for partic­ ular favors.' This is regarded as a "trick to force congress in accepting other New Deal orders. Like the congressional pen­ sion trick only a few members were caught, The bill provided a $35,000 annual pension for presidents beside one for con­ gressmen after they had paid in so much into the pension fund. Frice'Fixer Leon Henderson and wife each get “X ” cards which gives them 42 gallons o f gas while others get two or three gallons, DAY AND NIGHT SCHOOL « — New Clause* Now Organizing — SPECIAL CLASSES IN .

J r U f l l C A I I ■ E m W I L d v I a A fljrttf RFD I, Jasweetewn*Ohio, New York State Democrat* are hay­ ing their trouble* and the White House directing hand seems to be in­ effective in holding down scandal in the New Deal quarters. A court gave National Democratic chairman Ed Flynn a clean bill on the use o f city owned imported granite on his lux­ urious estate but now up bobs another scandal—Flynn charged with using lutomohiles belonging to the C ity -of New York to save private owned tires md gasoline. Who knows who is driv­ ing the many thousand, government >wned automobiles w e find or^ even Jhm highways? r The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Dem., hinks the AAA should reform or give ip and takes a crack at Secretary Claude Wickard, fo r permitting an ttack on Ohio,institution farms being ised to supply food for inmates o f 'Jhio institutions even .though - the rtate is not within certain quotas. The ’’ lain Dealer says while' Wickard is ppealing fo r more food and farmers ire asked to work longer and harder (fo r nothing hut patriotism) here omea a charge the potato -quota is ieing violated. The paper urges that -he state ignore all demands fo r re- lucing crop acreage. . ffrith all lumber frozen at the source ■p to be released only as the govern­ ment sees the need, retailers in that rade "face a rather dismal future. >uch a r e , the recent orders out- o f Yashington. Under present control, ”l ,000 is the limit o f replacement even y -fire without a priority order from Vashington. This certainly is a wgrn- ng to property owners'.to see that no ire hazards, exist and more than i 3 ual care is necessary. While elec­ tric wiring is limited,, yet, inspection •s‘possible to oorrect defects. Chimney iues can he inspected and repaired both under the roof and outside. While lumber fo r building I* to be tied down, such an order may not af­ ter all haVc been necessary. A fter you get lumber today where can you get a carpenter to .dp your work? Most o f them have more than they ran do and these can get jobs on gov­ ernment work at higher wages than the average citizen can afford to pay. The experience o f Elder Corry is having getting material fo r his barn and other buildings to replace those destroyed by fire a few weeks ago is an example o f what other property owners face in case o f fire, Unless the authorities in Washington consent to a priority fo r more than $ 1,000 ho cannot purchase material to'retgiild his bam , Tftne is an essential item with Mr, Corry now to get a bam to house his crop* but it means nothing in'th is case, or has not as yet. Mon­ day, representatives o f the lumber in­ dustry bad an appointment with a local hoard to g o over the application fo r material. The meeting was not held due to the fa ct Joseph Mason, a board member, Was too busy on his farm to go to Xenia to keep the ap­ pointment, Meantime Mr, Corry's farm equipment is exposed to the ele­ ments and no place to house livestock or feed. One o f the interesting items on the “frozen" list is nightgowns Which must have the yardage reduced. There must be no frills, no large flowing sleeves, Present stock «*n be disposed o f but .the next order from the fac­ tory must be according to orders. Cof­ fee has been reduced about 25 per cent and now cocoa takes a reduction fo r all morning breakfasts. But do not get discouraged, we still can get our beer. There is a lot of mumbling under cover among grocers on the manner in which they must handle sugar and the mountain of red tape they must undergo, much more than what the average Citizen had to do to get his ration card. Do not be surprised If you find your favorite grocer his dis­ continued sugar, Coal is a necessity and it ,is to go on the ration list un­ less consumers fake advantage of the warning and stock up for the winter. Warnings have been given from var­ ious sources but evidently hundred* have not taken advantage of it, Paul Mallon this week sends out a warning that indicates there is much f riction between the New Dead ami the newspaper* and the radio at the pres­ ent time. Mallon, one of the leading columnist* in Washington, in his let­ ter Tuesday,'g te t* .the « » 4 F irst World War end what happened after, la a* uuteh as meat o f the daily pram and radio hare been at odd* with the “censor*,* it k musk to the ear* to hear the management o f a Demo­ cratic-New Deal organ o f tbe first water ringing the Mue* behind closed door* and boasting o f what ho w ill d o ' at the opportune time.

Coming to The Xctda Tkwrter, Sunday Farmers are given another example o f restricted farm prices and unre­ stricted labor wage*—** you have been told—-to keep down inflation. This week Henry Ford ask* the gov­ ernment to “ freeze present wages." This places the issue a t the White House door. The CIO is demanding an increase o f one dollar a day on ten-fifteen dollar a day wageB in his factory doing nothing but war work and fo r which the taxpayers, every­ body, must pay tbe bilU,When-Roose­ velt Issued his “ fire-side chat" all prices must be limited, but wages were to be. controlled by a board com­ posed o f organized labor leaders. The demand, o f the Ford company brings a new issue to the front, one which strikes a t the door o f every farmer who is going to pay more than his share o f the war cost by taking limit­ ed profits while others take the cream* Before many moons, do not be sur­ prised to leant that the organized la­ bor movement to control, the farms will be directed through- the AAA right here, jn Greette county.

Xenians Sign Petitions Against Sugar For Alky; Against AAA BUY DEFENSE STAMPS ‘Ballerina9Dress Delights the Young As a comprom ise, here is an eve­ ning dress that looks festive but not too form al. It is a new type of frock—the ballerina dress, which ha* recently made its appearance in the fashion picture, A s its name- implies, this new frock is full-skirted and ankle- length. It really is a forerunner o f the Short-length evening .d ress. Young, pretty and so hew Is this- dainty dress. The prettiest o f ma­ terials go into its m aking Lovely prints yield beautifully to the bal­ lerina , silhouette. Perhaps most charming o f all are the ballerina dresses made o f lace. The bodices that top the ballerina skirts are pur­ posely styled With die utmost sim­ plicity, have short sleeves, fit snug­ ly and add to their lure with deep- cut square or heart-shaped neck­ lines. A most significant sidelight on the ballerina vogue is that the junior and teen-age girls are so fascinat­ e d with the idea they are adopting ■the fashion for daytime dresses of gay chintz and crisp cottons. New Sweaters Luxury-type sweaters are taking on most dazzling details for evening wear. It's a good plan to have one or two sweaters in reserve. They play such a varied and helpful part in either your afternoon or your really “ dress-up" wardrobe, with short skirts or the long evening skirta. Farm Work Clothes Under Price Control The government's interest in •the farm working man ha* ex­ tended as far as his working clothes. Pointing out that the wholesale price o f overalls has gone up 35 per cent and the wholesale price o f work trousers 37 per cent in the past two years, the Office Of P rice Administration now i t act­ ing to keep the cost o f this wear­ ing apparel from getting further out o f lin e .. Chambray, cotton coverts and denims, widely used material* fo r working clothes; have been added to the list o f cotton goods now under a definite price sched­ ule. Forestalling o f advancer in price Oh the fab ric is expected to head off the inevitable increase which com es when the work clothing crosses the retail coun- ter* The OPA, o f Which M iss Har­ riett Elliott, consume* consultant, is assistant administrator, acted last spring to Rut standard print oloth and other higher grade cot­ ton goods under a “ ceiling.” Since ; then fabrics for work clothes have increased in p rice until they are out o f line with the established calling. Xenia churches last •Sunday found petitions in circulation and ministers urging immediate signing which would be presented to the New Deal in Washington, protesting sugar ,ra ­ tioning while that food was being us­ ed fo r the manufacture o f alcohol, Ap­ peal was mad* for use o f government owned grain fo r the manufacture o f industrial alcohol or war explosives. So fa r the New Deal and AAA un­ der Sec. Wickard have protested against the use o f government grain for that k|ad .of alcohol. Farm or­ ganizations have urged such use o f the grain but the New Deal wants to hold millions ,o f bushels o f this grain as a club over the market to hold down prices o f both, corn and wheat as:well as pork. At least one c o p y o f the petitions should have been left with Chairman Mason at AAA headquarters in Xenia to see how his fellow ‘ citizens feel on an issue that is hot only economic but moral as well.
