«p • i m «EMW fUf^rPwwmsmv Americans Far America — America For Americans ssSsSs SIXTY-SIXTH YEAR H0.36 CEDARVILLE, OHIO,FRIDAY, AUGUST6,1943 zwmnw&T&m UUMtS srmmts WXRRESULT (From the Cleveland Plain Dealer) For years Americana have taken pride in the fact that they have en­ joyed t|te highest standard o f living jn aH the world. Even”during the de­ pression o f the 1930s m had more automobiles, more bathtubs and more electrical appliances per capita and higher wage Scale than any other country. And'we had come to expect a constant rise, in our standard of living from year to year. It is therefore difficult fo r many o f us to realize that the standard o f living cannot be -elevated or even maintained during a war of such vast proportions as the one in jwhich we are engaged. " "\ f t is especially difficult for labor leaders 'and politicians to realize that the standard o f living cannot be main­ tained, fo r the tenure o f their offices depends to a large extent on their . ability to obtain improvements in the living-conditions of their followers. . Nevertheless, it is essential that the standard o f living must decline as more o f our wealth and energy is concentrated oh the manufacture of destructive implements o f war, as the material and facilities for the produc­ tion ’ o f civilian goods becomes more restricted and as the luxuries we have come to regard as necessities -wear ou t and cannot he replaced. ""And yet we And labor leaders p ek - mg frantically to maintain the stan- _ dard of living fo r members of their group. C.I.O. President Philip Murray recently told, a congressional commit­ tee “/that labor woUTJJ Remand the scrapping o f the Little Steel formula unless food prices were reduced; Now AFE President William Green serves notice that unless food prices are brought down to a reasonable level; organized labor will have no other recourse but to demand wage in­ creases. I t is undeniably true that the gov­ ernment has been less successful in -keepig down the cost p f food than it has- in stabilizing rents and main­ taining low price ceilings on clothing and'other necessities. Whose fault is this? Labor itself . must- share part o f the blame. High wages and the 40-hour week with time and a half for overtime have lured hundreds o f thousands o f meh and boys from the farms. Farmers miisfc pay higher wages for farm labor if they are to have adequate-help in planting/ cultivating and harvesting their crops, The high wage policies also- have added to the cost o f every- . thing the farmer must buy. including farlh machinery and fertilizer. More­ over, farm planning must be done from sin months to a year in ad­ vance. Fanners cannot be expected to increase their production if they are confronted with price ceilings and a labor situation which Will force them to operate at a loss, A general increase in wages would not solve, the problem, but* instead would aggravate it. Higher wages in* evitablj would result In higher food prices. Nor would the rollback o f re­ tail .food prices*- advocated by labor and now being tried on a limited scale stimulate' any appreciable increase in food production or decrease in food prices,'The proposed rollback is simp­ ly another name fo r a general in­ crease in the real wages o f all con­ sumers to be paid for in the first in­ stance by the government but irt the long run by the consumers themselves in the form o f higher taxes. A 'ro ll­ back o f wages would be fa r more ef­ fective in stimulating food production 1and decreasing prires than a rollback o f prices, But that, o f course, is not feasible because it Would b% suicidal fo r any politician or labor leader to advocate it. Because o f the law o f Shpply and demand, the operation o f which no government cah suspend, and because *fce administration delayed too long after the outbreak o f the war before making any real effort to stabilize wages and prices, it seems inevitable that food prices must remain out of line with other prices and perhqps make further advances before the war ends. This will mean a general lowering o f the standard o f living. The burden will fall most heavily not upon labor but upon the white collar class which baa not had the benefit o f any Little Steel formula to increase its income IS percent over its earnings in Jan- ary* 1941. . Thinking members o f organized la­ bor Will realise that a gradual lower­ ing p f the standard o f living is far preferable to a ruinous inflation which would plunge the nation, in* eluding labor, into chaos. Evan if food does cost more, We Neal W . Hunter, Jamestown, as administrator o-f the estate o f Ida E* Fudge, is named defendant in four suits filed in common pleas court by Bay and Martha J, Bales, seeking $9,519.88 fo r services assertedly ppr- formed for Mrs. Fudge prior'to her death apd for money loaned to.

The couple was mar­ ried June 23, 1921, IGKKMEETS WffltCBWBESS DELEGATION DIVORCE GRANTED In the suit o f D, H.

Third StT, through premises o f the defendant to prop­ erty o f Edith Miller, has been settled by mutual agreement. - Harold Jckes, secretary o f Interior/ and joint director o f a half dozen New Deal agencies that, have regi­ mented the nation in Russian style; evidently took back his boast that he would flaunt the' promise he made some weeks ago to the eongressiona' delegation on reducing the gasoline ration fo r mid-west motorists. Ickes sent Congressman Clarence J. Brown a telegram early* in the week asking that.his congressional committee, composed o f representa­ tives and "senators, Republicans and Democrats, meet with him in Chicago on Thursday, yesterday, to further discuss the need o f rationing pf gaso­ line. Meantime, members o f both houses o f congress and governors from these states aroused public sentiment on the issue. What the outcome will b$ is. in doubt. With one threat now made that congress will be called back if pre-Pearl Harbor fathers ate drawn for army duty, and Ickes ig­ nore the congressional opinion, it is certain congress will act to remove Some o f the appointive ppwer placed on Ickes by Roosevelt, Congress .ban reduce the appropriations to finance the'many bureaucratic hoards. The Herald has contacted many farmer? and farm laborers on this issue. Farmers have no hesitancy in saying if gasoline is reduced for mot­ or cars in’ the face o f an over supply, they'will be justified in reducing the crop acerage fo r next year. Many will make reductions anyhow due to the present unfair price control. In, our survey we find many farm tebants have taken jobs in the city for two reasons. One' was higher pay and the other was that many o f them could not get more than “ A ” gas ra­ tion cards. Farmers predict less farm help next year than-the present crop year. If we should have a good fall the corn crop could not be har-i vested with mechanical pickers, and there is no hope p f the crop being harvested b y hand.,- According’ to the New York* Times of. Friday last, Ickes had' previously! promised the head o f the' Nciw York Automobile Club that he would - give the east inore gasoline and reduce thq ration amount for the mid-west, in about two weeks.

Marshall I would fear to venture a guess on the amount of cash value in melons hauled in this sturdy bed, Conser­ vatively, it would represent a sizeable fortune even in the light o f New Deal money values'. It is ironical to relate that old Gyp died in her harness as she neared hoitle from, a trip to the Xenia market with, a load 'of melons. With her passing a tie seem to be broken. My father seemed to realize from that time on that the best days o f home grown melon culture was gone. Although, he held on with in­ defatigable doggedness I’m sure Jhe stifled a growing spirit o f futility jn .ever realizing that ^Tdg year” 'he dreamed about, ' And this brings to Ur ht a little known fact. To thb unitiated it was the general opinion that Johnnie Marshall was some sort Of genius or wizard” who never failed, wet, or dry; hail or frost, to show up each year With his fine erdp of t, big, lucious melons.'^ Little did they know that through tell the (/ears there were perhaps no more than two wherein he realized 'more than a third o f a normal crop. Had it -not been for his intense love for the Vocation it woutd have been given up after the first few tries as a bad business.* But through dint o f tended care, and*U never-say-die spirit it is true that in face- o f every known sctmrge and ad­ verse climatical set hack He managed to glean a partial crop, and what there, was would be &A-1 quality, thanks to his” careful mothering, and the finest virgin soil Jp the fa c e 'o f the earth. i ' • . . jh » To get the proper ground, fo r rais-- mg his melons, my father scoured the country. His choice was bun' oak, black bottom ground, with heavy <sod, and preferably virgin poil. It was common for us to plow* up deer and elk horns in these trhets. as never before had .a plow ..been *set in it. When ho found such a;plot he cajol­ ed, begged, propagandized, and bribed the owner-to rent*it for the season. The rental .fee* he had. to. pay ’ was extreme,^ ' The average .per acre through the years was well over $100 per acre* That the laiuWwuer would have his larder well supplied gratis with melons for himself and even for the third cousin was a stipulation of custom. Much to my father’s^ credit was his creed o f paying o ff the" rental fee before he annexed one cent for his own till. Too often through the years I watched the counting o f small silver the return o f empty melon wagons from the market, and knew as my father knew, that little if any thing would he left to show for the season’s toil* Then would come a second look at the neglected potato’ patch in the poor corner and a prayer that it would give us a better crop than our attention deserved, It seemed that everar conceivable Deputy Resigns To Resume Old Job CASES DISMISSED Action brought by J.

Atef, who this year has 10 acres o f ir­ rigated potatoes, reports an excellent yield. boy bonds today type of worm, bug, ^rodent, rust, blight, mildew, wilt, curl and the like preyed upon melons. - Unlike a patch o f melons, other farm grain or fruit, yoU could never “ lay by’- A t the very end some unforeseen enemy Or ill-fortunes could 'Spell doom to the crop. There was the fact t6o that rains had to come just at the right time and in proper amounts to fffsure a ood crop. A dashing downpour at the time the “gets”' were showing, meant that the greater part o f them would be knocked off, with; the delay and uncertanity o f new ones showing. Thus, since weather played such a vital role in melon raising my father became a veritable expert as a prog­ nosticator* He could literally “ smell” the coming o f rain. More correctly he had perfected an uncanny know­ ledge o f the natural phenonena o f winds, clouds, and atmospheric hu­ midity. Although, he worried greatly during a derth o f rain, the records have shown that his crops were best in dry years. The fine, strong soil and deep plowing under o f heavy sod usually carried these vines through the worst o f drought periods* Then too, the late summer rains, if they xame top often was almost certain to cause the spread o f dreaded “ blight” known as Anthracnose* Its destructive quality Was as ugly as its name. Acres o f vines would wilt down and perish almost overnight during Us worst stages* No really effective spray was ever found to show appreciable results. Cool, dry­ ing weather seemed, the only arrest­ ing agent. A foggy, humid night was deadly* It was this one enemy, (which became more prevalent in later years) that my father could not surmount* He faced the others as mere matters o f course ntilsahces to be overcome with hard work and per­ sistence* Thu special strain of watermelons which made my father famous as - ' ■- r< if H. h iVminwri’te^ (Continued on page two) SENHTO’MSE FItLSDEffl HT camnYiim Two events that were beyond the control o f the Greene County' Fair management, mSrred part o f the -sue* cess o f the 104th annual event* One was the continued rain* and the other was the sudden death o f a famous rage horse; Senator Abbe, after win­ ning the second heat - o f the $1,000 free-for-alhpace at thp Greene County Fairgrounds, Wednesday afternoon* The former Six- year old champion pacing gelding o f 1942 who held mark o f 1:58 3-4 for the mile, finished second to Little Pat? in .the first heat* The driver, Wayne Smart o f Dcla* Ware, said the death very probably was caused by a .heart'attack Or over- exertion.

W flM K HAVE YOU CUT YOUR WEEDS; , LAW AGAINST THISTLES We have been, asked to call the at­ tention of land owners to the fact the state Has a law concerning weeds and permitting them to go to seed. This has been a bad year for weeds both in the country and in tbwn and with the labor situation acute many have net had an opportunity to cut weeds. W6 are aware of conditions hut weeds o f the thistle type should.be Cut tot the protection of all. „ The Canadian thistle is spreading over the entire County, Many farmers are trying to keep their farms free o f the pest. It cannot be said that all farmers are as much concerted. Phcre Is a law that goverps the ohnojtious Weeds and re­ quires cutting before seeding.
