I t may explode a t any time, fo r ip spite of the efforts of William Jeffers, the so-called rubber “Czar”, thp government’# synthetic rubber program is. not making: ’proper pro gregs. The President's veto of the Gillette Bill, which would have auth­ orized and required the manufacture of -a- large portion of the nation's synthetic needs from alcohol, may come back to haunt him.,. Last week it was-disclosed, despite the Baruch Committee’s recommendation, that the alcohol process be used to furnish a portion of the nation’s need for rub­ ber* th a t the Rubber Administrator had made no move £0 establish plants to manufacture rubber from alcohol until' after he Was subpoenaed to ap­ pear before the Gillette Committee is now considerable talk, that the of the Senate a few days ago. There Army "ill reduce its rubber require­ ments' and that the synthetic rubber manufacturing program will be drastically cut' so as to produce only U portion of the rubber originally scheduled for 1943 delivery, with the result that practically no new syn­ thetic rubber will be available for the use- of civilians, before late 1944. Broad hints are also being dropped here and, there that some rather deep and f a r reaching international1and trade politics are being ‘played in connection with the government’s rubber program.- .Months ago this column predicted the. Administra­ tion’s handling of the rubber situa­ tion would become a national scandal. Thus fa r there is no justification for changing that, prediction -and the lid may blow off a t any time.

We have- just glanced through the- official weekly bulletin o f the Office of War Information and find therein a' listing of thirty-six new War. Production' Board regula­ tions; fifty-two Office of Price Ad­ ministration releases; twenty-six. of­ ficial statements from the Office 'of .War information; seventy-three or­ ders from the War Production Board; .four orders from the War Man Pow^r Commission; and sixteen new 'reg­ ulations or orders from the Office of Defence Transportation—all of which have been issued in the past week. A great number of these or­ ders* regulations and rules ,run into many pages ,and cover all sorts of Commodities, conditions and situa- tior s, I t would take a person more than one week to read the total word- age contained, in all of these various ' pronouncements, most of which have been written by so-called specialists and experts in such an intricate and *. involved manner as fo be very dif­ ficult to comprehend or understand. Wasn’t it the Democratic patron Saint, Thomas Jefferson, who said,-- "That government governs best which governs least?” * Food shortages arc growing, at a rapid pace. Now it is announced that condensed o r' canned milk is soon to be rationed* as well as jams* jellies, fruit butters* processed fish, and a number of ether foods. In the mcan- t ‘me letters are' beginning to pour into Congressional offices from1 housewives, food marketers, res­ ta u r a n t proprietors and others de­ manding to know just where the food America has been producing: is act* pally going. If growing food short­ ages continue to develops ns rapidly during the next few weeks as they have in the past, a real and thorough Congressional investigation of the Xease-Lend delivery of food stuffs to the civilians of foreign nations ban be- expected.

You Had Better Save Your Gas For Ration Trips One of the bright younger male of­ fice holders in Washington is credited with the radio story as to why farm horses should have their shoesfremov ed before going to bed, is ju st about in par with the New Dealer that a r gued before a congressional commit­ tee as to the difference between ’’male and female steers,” I t is now suggested tlm t' farmers save much gas by making the trip to church do away with the usual Sat­ urday afternoon and evening journey to get provisions. As rules now stand farmers are not to. have more than five >cans of the “forbidden fruit or beans” a t anyone tijge. This applies to fruit in tin cans. Taking it fo r granted that some of the farm populace attends church the New Dealers have considered the sug­ gestion that farmers have' the op­ portunity of doing their week-end shopping- on the “First Day of the; Week.” All stores to bo open follow­ ing religious services. By combining the 'Saturday trip with the Sunday, trip both gasoline and tires would be saved for i t is ad­ mitted many journeys must be made within the next few weeks to get dif­ ferent ration hooks. We might also suggest by adopting the New Deal idea probably a few rton-church go­ ing farmers would have an excuse to get to town. • • With the farmers standing in line to get their meat ration books and denied the legal right to eat what they produce will be a novelty. At that the New Deal is a. novel ex­ periment, cockeyed, crazy, feeble­ minded but all must admit—novel. Forty thousand Democrats in -, the nation that can noL.eat by the sweat of their own brow are to be appoint­ ed to police the populace, yet if mem­ ory serves us right it was Mr, Roose­ velt who said prohibition was im­ practicable, had not and would never lead to .temperance .and never could be'enforced by any power in the n a ­ tion. For that reason he. ordered the doors of the nation’s saloons to open not by constltutionaf amendment but by “edict”. Now you are told “ratioping will bo enforced.” Its a $1OJ)O0 fine, ten years, or else! t u p k y m b Nathan Lackey Ramsey Died In Xenia Hospita Nathan Lackey Ramsey, 86, diet Saturday a t the McClellan Hospital, at 7 a. m. after an illness of three weeks.

John W. Bricker reported to "Farmers* Week a t Columbus, Wednesday* the resuit of his trip to meet Donald Nel­ son, WPB chief. Regardless of the appointment of the Ohio and Michi­ gan governors, Nelson did -net-aliosz. up and sent no one with authority to repressent him. The Governor told the farm group he was satisfied 76 per cent of “the people in the state* rural and urban, want Ohio back in Eastern Standard time, He is leaving'any state action to the legislature but points our con* fiction with two? kinds of time. All claims of saving light and pow­ er have been refuted even by figures, from the office# of power companies.

BUY WAR BONDS TODAY We get. a story from Clinton county as to how a farm sale got around the crack-pot New Deal ceiling price that has been placed on certain used farm machinery. After a ll live stock and- feed had been sold -. along with the “free list of machinery’’ the farmer mounted a wagon and. stated he would take bids on a combined piece of farm equipment already set ready to go. If .was a tractor and cultiva­ tor. Farmers began bidding and the owner kept tab letting, the bidders do the work. One by one the bidders dropped out and the last one took the equipment at $1*160. No one knew what the ceiling was and no one took the trouble to find oUf The question arises under the New ’Deal as to whether a farmer pan sell his own. property, without getting permission from the Washington dictators. The auctioneer in this case was clear of any chance of violating *n executive order issued by one who^ias no t au- thorifyf under either constitution or by an act of congress. ...... ....... t Governors Applause Ohio’s Governor Hugh Taylor Birch Estate Is Appraised At $1,592,860.54 ll.m pMUIMUMMMIHMti BOYLAND TRAIL By Fred M.

Bricker received the plaudits of Republican and Dem­ ocratic governors in a speech before the Assembly of State Governments in session Monday* a t Baltimore, Md., when he challenged the evils of bu­ reaucrats in Washington trying to force all state rights out of the' pic­ ture. He was joined by Gov, Harold E. Stasson*. Minnesota* and Gover­ nor Herbert.R. O’Conor of Maryland. The latter stated “the states can blame none but themselves if their future power and strength is sapped by inaction and indifference.” Both Bricker and Stasson declared that “the walls of isolation are gone forever." “There is no need for war time emergency powers iby those who are greedy for such poWcrs and Ohio has not exercised such a thing and yet done everything needed for the good of the state and her citizen#,” said Bricker. The latter was looked upon as a goad prospective candidate for president in 1944. Farmer Writes On Change o f Time While Washington is hearing a- bout changing the time for farmers along wjfch various interest# in the state of Michigan, Washington wap- bles here and'there and tosses the question as a football* ail the time in letter a s to what will happen’ if the change is not made. One farmer in­ form# us that he wrote Washington it was a choice of changing time or taking chances on ah attempt to meet the food requirements. More over he say# he had supported Roosevelt twice but would never again vote the Demo­ cratic ticket if the time was not changed. We hear the delegation from Ohio to Baltimore to meet Sir Donald Nelson, brought back tales of letters from irate Ohio farmer# that sent Nelson to. seek refuge behind the clirtain.

The. farm is located in Ross Twp. . near Grape Grove and Adjoins a farm owned by William.McDorman father of J. O* It also joins a farm of 200 acres now owned by the Xenlan. PAYNE SALE,---- $6,000 It makes little differcnce to farmers what the New Deal want# public sales are attracting more buyers than anytime in the past fifty years and higher prices are being paid fo r all machinery and live stock* unless it is horses. The Ed Payne sale amounted to more than $0,000 All machinery brought high prices compared with the price of hew. ^ n 8-year old tree*, tor Farm-all 20, brought ceiling priC* of $700 regardless of age. But tb* one bid was received Oiie cow brought $165, the average foe the; herd being about $125, Corn brought around $1 a bushel in crib A team of 6-yr old mares brought $365. w . The Frank Sheup sale amounted to $14,000. Duroc-bred gilt# brought as high as $70 with thirteen soWs aver­ aging $65 a head. No farmer knows when he would like to have a. sale and there is open resentment to government control of farm prices. The Herald has a tip that Washington New Dealers are considering putting a cheek on sales only tinder certain conditions and no pubic sales of dairy cows. Last of Public School Debt Ordered Paid The legislature has followed the request of Gov. John W. Bricker that the last of the school debt of $18,- 265,000 left by the Davey admin­ istration* amounting to $8,274,000 ba paid a t once. The Governor will sign the bill and made good a promise of his first administration that he would operate the state and pay the deficit without extra taxes. The legislature is also expected to improve the Governor’s request for repeal of sale# tax on food served in restttrant# and hotels and public places as Welt as the tax on prescrip­ tion drug*. Not so long ago, on one of my in­ frequent visits to the old home town* I Was asked by several acquaintance# why I did not continue contribution# to jn y “Boyland Trail” column. I had suspected that so few native Cedar- villfans remained in our village com muhity that these sidelights of rem iniscenOes would lack interest, but perhaps our home town paper still reaches out generally to many like myfcelf who receive# it as sort pf last boifd with the familiar names ant plate# of bygones. Aa for me, I comb each Issue of the Cedarville Herald for* little items which resolve them- seljres into homey visits with people and places I know bettor, possibly* than most qthere. For instahejp, fawn sale forthwith calls to mind a well-kftown homestead, and cherish­ ed / schoolmates who, ’having passed thiiough the 'trying ordeal of “Bdx- Well Exams”; were entitled to- enter the portals of the village school, There.is always a twinge of pathos; surrounding these farm sale notice#, but which is lost to those who domot kn6W-the life time of romance, and perhaps tragedy connected with them. To* me they cling like lichens on a hoary tree trunk. So I go down thru the item# of sale' with lingering re­ flections. The description of land, too, iolds much of history, tradition, and pioneer lore. Most of the land about Cedarville is described as p^ rt’ of former “military tracts”; it having been apportioned from those vast stretches of Western' reserve wilder­ ness set aside as bounty larid or re­ wards to Revolutionary 'War- veter­ an# and which often in turn, had :found their way through devious channels*of fortune or misfortune in­ to |the hands of syndicates or individ­ ual promoters. Of the former, we might mention the Ohio.* Company known to every school boy, and o f the latter, the Symmes Purchase which comprised most of the land in Dayton environs. I'have little trduble following the transcient sighting# and liites drawn by these pioneer chain crews who drew up the boundaries of thfese old farmsteads, “N.NE., 10 de­ grees, 0 minutes, to a certain persim­ mon tree on the south banks of Mas- site- Creek”, o r “continuing 30 rod# S.1 se ;, to a ia rire^ an ito W id e r”, %• sufficient for me to get the lay- of the land along with a host of other detail# not listed .in the description. Had I not .shinned that leafless per­ simmon tree many times to shake dbwn those luscious gobs bf fruit whose astringent horrors bad been mitigated by/ November frosts, and had I not trapped a fine star skunk who had inadvertently usurped a woodchuck hole under that very bdulder landmark set forth by this intrepid early day surveyor? This calls to mind an episode surrounding the history of Simon Kenton, pioneer Indian fighter about whom much #tir- rihg tradition clings in our home re­ gion. Some half century after this, doughty backwoodsman had left his Kentucky stomping grounds and set­ tled down to his dotage near Urbana* he was called back to the scenes, of his early day exploits neap Lime­ stone, Kentucky* to assist one of his pioneer comrade in establishing boun­ daries of a tract which was under dispute in the courts. The defendant had recalled that Kenton had been present and had assisted him in mak­ ing “improvements” on the tract in question. Kenton mounted his.horse afid. sallied forth to help his old friend. Upon arrival a t the scene, Centon, without assistance, walked off the exact boundaries, and to fur­ ther establish an important corner, made mention of the fact that the arge hickory tree set forth a# an dentification mark, to establish this corner had Often been used as a place to shoot a t targets for practice with tlielr long rifles. With a pocket knife Fenton chipped *way the bark of the, ilckory and brought forth several load slugs to verify his memory. Fertile land this, in these local pa­ per advertisements to be offered now on the selling block* Going* with no sale value, are the generation# of toil and sweat cmd honest work, which was expended to smooth and dfaln these acres, doing* the encom­ passing halo of serene home life, glowing hearth fire embers, twilight gatherings, morniftg chores, attd hap­ py holiday family reunions. "One chest Of drawers, cherry, one wash stand* to match* one cord bed­ stead* one rider press, two iron ket­ tles,” and so on down the line* 1 ntEOTflteFMM ik nr hurt muse over each one of these item#, as ap inveterate bookworm Would pause to mull over some choice ex­ pression of a favorite author.

Hoover brought out fact# on the food situation that have never been made public in any manner. He says we are exporting less than half (he meats arid fats to its Allies in this War. that it did in the last World War * but we have a greater shortage of these commodities fo r civilian# a t home now than then. “The larger problem, Which con­ fronts us is that since the last war, American livestock has decreased i n - '' proportion to the growth of human population/’ he said. ! Citing the shortage of farpr labor, ■ methods of food price control and the1 ■ 75 per cent reduction in the manufac­ ture qf farm machinery a# blockade# to increased agricultural production,’ Hoover said:’ \ “ “At the end of (last year) we’had" - , 26 per cent more beef Cattle for each' 1,000000 of human population than We" had 23 years later on January 1942: We had 20 per cent niore bogs m pro­ portion to> the population;.

An imperative, demand’; now, de­ clared ,Hoover, who served as relief' director in the first World War,'is to build Up flocks and herds and the . production of vegetable oils. “If we keep-traveling in the direc-.‘ tion we have been we will #ee more hardships a t. home i f wo supply the - Allies and armies.

Meat To be Rationed On and After April 1 Thursday news from ' Washington indicates that all meats will bo ra­ tioned on April I by ,the OPA. The order for free kidneys* hearte* tripe, brain# and sweetbread will now be ra­ tioned under the last order of the New Deal It is expected th a t all poultry will be rationed later and that ceiling prices lower than present market prices will be issued to freeze poultry as Well as all kinds of meat.* Farmers must declare ’ how much' meat they have on hand before* they can get a ration book* according* to advanced reports. If more than - one hog or beef enough coupons will be extracted to make up for 'the storage meat a t home or in a locker. I t is estimated th a t 100 pounds of pork will just about strip the coupon book for even.a family of two, I f so no- meat could be purchased for the rest of the year. What is to be regarded as rationing of meat and the part that is bone has hot been made public. No explana­ tion has been iSaued as to the various, cuts of meat.
