It.was referred to the Inter-state a«d Foreign .Commerce Com- - mittee, upon which We serve. . We joined with Congressman James W.

Cline charges neglect and cruelty in seeking a divorce from Ernest W, Cline, 48 Charles St., and asks to be restored to her maiden name o f Gorman. The couple was married in Xenia, August 5, 1940. When, more than a year ago, it Was pointed out in this column that , the conscription o f men for military . service in an all-out war would' be -followed by the conscription o f wealth .and. earnings, and then later by the conscription jof labor, a number of our fridnds took exception -Jto the -prediction. Already, through new tax laws and questionable Presiden- ' tial orders,, individuals earnings are being limited to twenty-five thousand dollars a year while personal and -corporation incomes are being taxed, as high as eighty-two per cent and ‘ ninety per cent respectively. Just tills ■last wCejk legislation was in­ troduced in both the House and Sen­ ate providing fo r the conscription of mep up to sixty-five year^ o f age1, and-women np to fifty, to work when and where directed by the govern­ mental authorities. Last week the power o f the Re­ publican Minority was fully demon­ strated, in the House, when numerous amendments were adopted to the ap­ propriation bill fo r the* Treasury and Dost Office Departments dras­ tically reducing the amount o f money these Departments could spend dur­ ing the coming fiscal year. The most important amendment. written into the bill was one eliminating free mail service to governmental departmnts, commonly known as penalty mail. Unless the Senate strikes out the amendment all governmental depart­ ments will have to come to Congress and obtain appropriations for post­ age, thus giving complete legislative control over the amount o f mail sent out by the various departments, and agencies, which would undoubtedly result in the savings of, many millions o f dollars annually. RELIEVE ESTATE The estate o f Alfonso ‘Lane was re­ lieved from administration,i> . The House Commifltee to Inves­ tigate Un* American Activities —- better known as the Dies Comr/iittee— was continued fo r the next two years by a vote o f the House last week. A day o f so previously the House a lio adopted a resolution authorizing the Appropriation Committee to hear and study the charges made by Chair­ man Dies agfiinipt various govern­ mental employees and Administration appointees, claimed to belong to sub­ versive organizations; and to prohibit the expenditure o f public funds for the continued payment o f salaries or expenses to such persons, where the charges are sustained! The 78th Congress may go down in history as "The Investigating Con­ gress", i s more -investigating com­ mittees have been authorized by the national legislative body during the 'p a s t six weeks than at any other aimlllar period in the nation’s history. Last Thursday the House pasted a resolution by Congressman Smith of Virginia, Democrat, authorising tha naming o f a committee o f seven to investigate the various complaints made by citizens that their legal or constitutional rights had been dis­ regarded or Invaded .b y govern­ mental agencies, The powers grant­ ed the Committee are so broad as to permit a thorough probe into the hum* eroui charges that are being made that many o f the orders and edicts being issued by government officials, boifrd* and agencies are illegal and unconstitutional, Undoubtedly the Smith Committee ,will be in the news and headlines many times in the months to eome, It may become the m m potent instrumentality'of the DIVORCE GRANTED A divorce was .granted Donald A* Chew from Geneva Ray Chew.

Baker, Montgomery county, has introduced a resolution in tho Ohio Senate memoralizing Cpn-i gress to repeal the Farm Act o f 1938 relating to the ‘penalty oq excess Wheat. WHEREAS Ohio stands fourth a- niong all o f the States of the Union- in agricultural production and is a heavy producer of wheat, the section of the Farm Act of 1938-imposing a penalty o f forty-nine (49c) on each bushel o f wheat raised in excess o f the quota fixed by the Department o f Agriculture is seriously impeding thq war effort o f Ohio farmers tt> meet the demands for food occasioned by the war, and WHEREAS Ohio farmers, impelled by then- patriotism, can .and will raise wheat, in. Ohio vastly in excess o f the quotas fixed by the Department of Agriculture, and the regimentation o f Ohio farmers is crippling Ohio’s ability to do her f u l l . part in the war, ami _ . WITFRFAS tJjp Chairman of the Agricultural Adjustment Adminis­ tration in Ohio is now sendb g threat­ ening It tiers to non-cooperative Ohio farmers, inferring that they will be ■mbjuttd to severe penalties not only on any exce.s that they may raise |but Upon their entire crop, it is ap­ parent that impossible situation has been created whereby the efforts of our patriotic farmers ■ to help in the war effort are obstructed by a Sense­ less bureaucratic regulation, and WHEREAS the Chairman of the Olu? Agricultural Adjustment Ad­ ministration has ruled that the in­ stitutions o f the State o f Ohio .can­ not use any excess wheat-that they may raise above the quota, even for feeding their inmates, and the At­ torney General of Ohio has ruled that our State Institutions shall not pay any penalty, an unnecessary con­ troversy between the State o f Ohio and the Federal Government, result­ ing in injury to oiir war effort, now impends. BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that* the Senate of the 95th General Assembly o f Ohio do urge the two United States Senators from Ohio and all Ohio. Congressmen to make every effort to secure the repeal of that portion of the Farm A ct of 1938 that permits any restriction whatsoever upon Ohio’s fullest agri­ cultural production as a part of the effort of our State to aid the Fed­ eral Government in the prosecution of the war. Be It Further Resolved That The Clerk of the Senate is herby auth- orizd and directed to send iticopy of this resolution to each member o f Congress from Ohio and to each of Ohio’s two United States Senators.

Marshall MMMttlOMfltUftimillHIMIIUMMMMIStMIIIMfmifMUltMWMfil The sleeping chambers o f us chil- dren’ were “ upstairs”, I am o f the opinion that our log dwelling <jidt not have originally ”a second story but more o f * loft, but this had been after a fashion, partitioned o ff into a cou­ ple o f .small rooms, with low, boarded ceilings. The side walls were •not well chinked, as much o f the mortar between the logs had fallen out and the' weather boarding had warped, ' The bhingled, roof, too, had all but reverted to vegetation from its col­ lection o f moss. Snow used to sift through the cracks and rain would often spill, in a sudden deiudge o f drippings on the bed or floor. Many times in the deep night we have called to Mother that the "rain was coming, in" and she would plod up the steep narrow stairs to move the bed or set pans to catch the drips. There was no heat in those rooms but I do not recall that ever once .any of us complained o f the cold. We took it as a'matter o f course that bedrooms in winter are Cold. Most of.our disrobing would i>e done about the open fireplace and then we would tumble like bear, cubs up the stairs and bury ourselves in- the depths o f the piece quilts with a muffled br-r-r* On the coldest nights,. Mother would have prepared ahead, heated., bricks wrapped in- papers and’ had tucked them in at the foot. Our bedticks,were filed with straw, but there were feather ticks for the older members of the family. It was our. job to fill those straw ticks freshly once pr twice a year, from some nearby straw stack. Before it “ got set” , it puffed up like a part­ ially inflated balloon and required a chair to assist in mounting to its summit, _A fter a few sleepings it settled down to conventional-limits. I long again to invite the deep sleep o f childhood innocence and freedom from care as was Wafted by the aro­ ma o f clean smelling straw, and with the dashing of a summer’s night rain storm on the roof scarcely two feet above my pillow. Truly, it was like “ lying down in green pastures”- Our- living room must have been very small and cratnped for such a large family, but we dldnR seem to notice it. There was ail open fire­ place or grate. Our dog used to lie so'close to the hearth that it is a wonder he did not, more than lit­ erally, toast his ribs. Occasionally Mother would become exasperated at his habit o f taking up the choice spot before the fire, especially, at times o f unexpected company and he would bo unceremoniously shooed out with the broom.- But he seemed to sense that these were but. transitdry inconven­ iences, and he would be back at his accustomed place on the plaited rag rug. • . - ■I must pause here to elucidate on Old Dick,” this grand old dog. He lived with us for twenty years' and there was much grief at his passing. He was a big,, heavily built fellow-one o f the earlier breeds of bird dogs, He was known throughout our home and community, and much tradition has ber/.i 'bui^t r(p jamong vetcrafri quail hunters surrounding his' prow­ ess, My fa’ther held quite a reputation as a brush marksman, Game ■was plentiful in that day, and a bag of from thirty to forty quail was in no way^regarded as depleting the supply o f birds. It was great fun for me to lift qut the birds from my fathers hunting coat and talk o f the big “potpie” we' Would have. Out version o f a potpie was actually a crust-covered pie baked in the oven. It was indeed “fit fo r a king". To those offered the chance to hunt behind old Dick, there was sure to be fine sport, and bulging bunting coat. He lived but for one thing. His one great passion was the pursuit o f quail, Be­ yond this, his main vocation was idoz­ ing and dreaming o f past hunts, or imagined ones to come. My father's gun, an L. G. Smith, double-barreled, hammeriess, always stood in the same comer by the closet, and for any o f us to pick up the. gun was sufficient to send/ old, Dick" into a delirium o f joy. I doubt if there is a rod o f open ground within a rqdiUs o f miles about our village that his padded feet have not trod. His bones rest in the gar­ den plot at thfe old homestead, where I am sure he would have preferred to sleep the long sleep undisturbed by swishing brooms, to ‘dream'of fine hunting, A great deal of romance surround­ ing my childhood and youth has for its background, the old mill Which stood a stones throw from Our house1. The lullaby tune, “over the hill, be­ hind the mill" of Mother's crooning, Assumed for me a realistic picture, Grandmother’s house stood on the hill just beyond, Ih my tegular pll- grimages to and from there, It was great fun to pause along the way and make loud halloes so that my vole* C.R, M'lMULAK 85THBIRTHDAY Hon, Colin R. McMillan, former resident/celebrated hijrSSth birthday recently at his home near, Colville, Washington. “ Mr, McMillan with his sister Miss Sally McMillan are the surviving' members o f a highly Tespected fanp. By, Mr. McMillan's last visit here was during the past summer' as he’ has fo r many years made occasional visits with his home folks. Regardless o f jiis, 85 years, his ydunger days as a pioneer, i n ’ th e _ great North-We^t, he enjoys good health, His many visits to this office have always been an inspiration asi he .related past experiences and as he commented on preseht day events. He is a keen observer o f both national - and international. affairs. His. /sue- • cess has not been confined to farm, interests for he has been, a leader in his county and had a part in the last territorial legislature in 1887'- securing Statehood for .Washington. He first- located in. Spokane, ■Wash,, 60 years ago. The following interesting sketch from the Colville Examiner w ill be of interest to local relatives qnd acquaintances: “ Last Saturday was the 85th birthi day anniversary o f one o f Stevens county’s bestknown pioneers, G, -R „ McMillan, o f Orin. And this year o f 1943~1s the 60th anniversary o f.h is arrival in the Inland Empire;,for he came to Spokane in 1883. In 1884 Mr. McMillan came to the Colville valley to follow'his-trade as miller at the Oppenheimer Bros, flour mill at the 'falls- o f the Little. JPend Oreille river, now part of the Johnson ranch at Arden. He was assisted by ft cook and choreman, but had to do all the skilled work himself, ‘ When he went to the mill he found Charles Snyder working there. Five years la­ ter Snyder died and was buried in. \ Colville. The - miller remained 1in charge' o f the .mill until 1892"when he was elected sheriff. After his term of office had expired, he settled on the • Orin farm which.grew to be one o f the.largest in the. county, and which 1 has not only remained his home,-bub- where his children' were raiseci* and where.his son David E. McMillan and family reside. ‘As a member of the last territorial legislature in 1887 from the Spokane and Stevens county district, he as-' sisted in the last petition to congress for statehood, which came in 1889 through the signature o f President Grover Cleveland. Stevens county in 1887 embraced the present - Pend Oreille, Ferry and Okanogan counties. The legislature had been asked to ■ separate Okanogan from the vast do­ main called Stevens county.. “In tho Okanogan country at tho 1886 election, there was only one’ vo­ ting precinct and only 32 votes. I n . Stevens county there were two votihg precincts, Colville and Chewelah, with . a total o f 300 votes. The legislature • at first voted Against'the separation, But the next day reconsidered and granted it. Stevens county had been o n u cash basis; After division both s counties went on a warrant basis. “After a lapse o f many years Mr, McMillan went to the legislature as senator from the Stevens and Pend Oreille county district, and still later saw his son David E. McMillan hold the same position for eight years. “ At the age o f 85 Mr; McMillan *e- mains active on vhis farm and keeps in reasonable health. He can be seen on horseback most any time during the summer, and even the cold weath­ er this winter has not kept him in­ doors.” ‘ ‘ Idaho Wants AAA Kicked Out Window The Idaho House o f Represent­ atives on Monday voted a memorial previously adopted by the State Sen­ ate to demand that the agricultural adjustment administration be junked for the duration to permit more ex­ tensive farm crops if “ Food Will Win the War” . WHEAT PROSPECT UNCERTAIN ZERO WEATHER HITS PIG CR6 p Farmers are much concerned about the condition o f wheat, especially af­ ter the heavy freezing and thawing Weather last vfeek, This Week With zero weather there was protection with snow, ^ Farmers that had sbWjs farrowing the past ten days report heavy lose# due to the'extreme cold. Some sheep breeders report a similar experience. (Continued on page- four) CORY SUGGESTED “BOY-COT.
