Wick- ard, Secretary o f Agriculture. The report is extremely critical o f how ths. toed situation has been handled *nd|he committee assails the plan for a ’ “ worid-wide” food program :. “ Adherence to the parity price formula, as a basis o f fixing, farm - prices, the goal o f the farm move ment since the formula was written; into law early in the Roosevelt admin­ istration, also was criticized,. Rarity' prices aa now fixed mUflfc be discarded according tp the report. The atudy declared that "the United; States has never heen and cannot be­ come the food basket o f the United Nations" and commented that “ sur­ plus cobwebs have got to' be brushed from many an official brain pn the subject o f food., ” The food advisory committee, es tablished b y Mr, Wickard . when he was Foe d'Administrator, includes rep­ resentatives o f almost every Govern-, ment agency with any major interest in food. . The committee proposed a produc tion program which it said would pro­ vide an adequate diet for -40,600y000' extra, persons in 1044 and 194,L Other recommendations were that, a single government agency teapon-i aible -for- the production o f food a? broad be created; that ippre efficient use be made o f the production re­ sources o f -the small and medium­ sized farms; .that American civilian food needs "should not be considered as' leftovers'to be satisfied after alt other claims are met", that an ade-1 qUSte minimum diet he established fo r the civilian arid fighting forces o f the Allied nations;* that subsidies, GoV- ernment purchase o f food aifd checks bri supplies a tfa rm level,be used to combat black markets and, that the Government “ take the public; into its confidence ,-and.iel! the., whole truth promptly and. effectively." ' The report said the reasons f o r the food crisis Were many.' It listed-the early successes o f the Axis which Cut tremendous deniandsfor manpower and munitions and the shipping sit­ uation, All this meant, the report said that .th$ Allies were, not even holding their own with regard to food; A fter reiterating that the United States could not make Up the deficit, o ff the Allies from fo od sources, the the report said: “ Up to now the United States (and Great Britten, to almost the same extent) has been in the strange po­ sition o f a nation going into a serious crisis white scarcely lifting a finger to encourage the needed food pro­ duction in easily accessible foreign area# already possessing, adequate land,, labor arid equipment," The reasons, the eommittee stated, were that Americans, “ including those in Government", had never convinced themselves that they, were out o f the food surplus stages, and the belief t b it tide country could produce all the food* needed* So long as this belief continues; the report said, “ we are unlikely to give complete governmental authority to a single man (or agency) to de­ velops world food resources as a part o f an entire food plan". "So a complete maze o f commit­ tees, agencies, directives, suggestions, cross purpose#, jealousies, etc., has developed that makes one wonder; how any foreign food resources ever Rave been or ever will be developed at the instigation o f this Government", it Warm OH “ Downright Hunger” The remedies, the report stated, in­ clude the removal o f the cobweb# from official brains “ and in place o f the easy assumption that we al ways will have more food than w6 know what to do with, must come the painful realization that Orir food sup* plies are low today and will remain so until a t least two or three years after the war"* With bungling and mishandling* the eommittee said, “we could easily sink to the lewd e f downright hunger."* The difficulty with parity, the coni* ttftte* concluded, Was not that the general level Of farm prices was too high or too low, hot that parity prices maintain the wrong relationship be* tween various commodities and do not raptscant the nutritive value o f the M h the wartime fce&d for them or ffct t * t » « f prmftwtion* Bmm&m m Parity W heit «tal utfflc were Selected , a* ■ — 1 »— ii— u .-* ...***— .in’In-Min *1 DIVORCE SUITS Jacob Slaughter is plaintiff in a suit filed in common pleas coart a« gainst Adeline Slaughter.

There were times again when that bell in the town hall belfry took on a new voice,' In contrast -to its awe­ some dangrdonging upon the midnight; air it would assume a tone o f solemn dignity ip its measured heats to call the village Council to 'jits •Monday night session, I t is recalled, too, that fa r Back through the .yefrs, it tolled % o f .a warning o f stern finport in an eight-o’clock curfew, and which sent all errant urchins scurrying home at its first knell. When John,- McLean tifilfc the new town hall after the original one on he site was burned he, fo r some rea­ son perhaps o f no great'importance to himself, designed a means o f ac­ cess from the belfry to- the loft above the opera house, stage-via a'small trap door. The presence o f this-passage lecame well known in after years to Cedarville boys who utilized it as a means of “ slipping in” ' the Opera house shows. ~ It was a long, grimy, devious course but with proper stealth and patience the 'trick would Work, It was us­ ually easy to stbal In through the belfry entrance Roorway, whereupon one made the* long climb to the upper belfry platform, and thence through toe trap door to the atage loft, This part o f the journey-was usually, made some time before Frank' . Jackson, veteran ticket seller and opera house manager opened his booth. Waiting in the dust mantled loft until toe rumbling of-hurrying feet On the entrance stairways heralded the as­ semblage o f paid customers we back door patrons made pur way in stock­ ing feet to the npperife*rid«-af toe left where a ladder led fr om ' the stage fly . to permit the curtain boy* An access to and from the rolling windless. Peering down from the open' trap We watched for our chance to, scurry down this gadder through the adjacent door leading into the' balcony (gallery)'. When this method failed,, the mote agile and daring youngster clihtbed hand over hand up thefreight eleyator shaft rope to toe dressing room floor, beneath stage. Once I was in a gang o f about a dozen hoy# who took the belfry route only to lcam to our shagrin that the show management hadririfered free admission for their first night’s stand. There is retained in my mind some o f the more tragic experiences o f boy­ hood in being denied entrance to pop­ ular opera house entertainments'. Most parents in that' day could ill afford to squander .the admission fee on such' things and it was Up to the boy to use his wits if he expected to getjny the unrelenting ticket taker. But Oh-t, the thrill o f being enaOoun* ced in one o f those front row gallery seats as toe curtain was about to rise on the first act o f stirring “melo- drammer." Long periods o f waiting only added tdf the interest, with the boisterohs irallery and banter lifting one to a state o f tense exhubetance. 1 here was the tantalizing aroma of warm salted peanuts as Harry Alexander did a brisk trade in wares fresh from. Ray Hitchcock's roaster. There was the twanging o f the out- of-tune piano in the orchestra pit and sometimes a stray bat or two, startled by the unusual brilliance, created a turntoil o f excitement as £hey wheeled blindly about the center chandelier. It niust be said that for some un­ explainable reason our opera house “ boxes" failed to attract the town’s elite. It la true they were not pro­ vided with great Wealth o f luxurious appointments. There Were no plush carpets, and more often a packing box o r two made up for. a shortage o f chairs." The more boisterous ele­ ment usually to&k over these spaces fa r its novelty and with the thought that their smart Aleak antics oouif more1prominently gain attention, Net least among my vivid memories o f the old opera house Is the colorful drop curtain with its petidcrods scrools, ahd drapes pulled aside til disclose an old world painting. The scene was a village at the fodt o f craggy steep* and with town folk strolling along a sea wall. I have never learned the identity of, that scene but I doubt it was Wholly the Miss Kathryn Finke Addr^ss^Kenia Rftteti Mis# Kathryn Finke, Dayton, member ofjCedarville College Summer School Faculty, and1kindergarten in­ structor at Southern1 Hills, Dayton, addressed the Xenia Rotary Club at their luncheon meeting Tuesday noon.

Of all the show troupes which vis* ited Our town, pone left So lasting an impression as Edward Purcell’s, Every few years he would turpi up 'with his' troupe and always with himself as the great impresario and leading man. Usually he would come for a week’s stand and by that time more than, one Cedarville belle’s heart was a-flutter fo r this dashing hero, in winson tie, hip high patent, leather boots, penciled eyebroWs, and deeply dropped sideburns. For was it not he who came in the niche o f time to save demure Clemejtitine frbm the villian's wanton clutches. Was it not he Vho leal 4 upon the tracks before the 'onrushing Black Diamond Express to pull the hound Olivia to safety. Those Were the days o f the “ asides” -when the actor could speak his thoughts aloud so that no one peed Overtax his brain in following the plot which toe main' dialogue might not bring out, ThUs toe villian in a tense moment' would scyevf his handle; bar mustache into his best snarl, turn half aside and vow ip an audible' whisper that ■he would cat the leading man’s heart before the setting o f the sun or else-! The in­ tended victim Wasn't supposed to hear and ladies-, would' ring their1- bahds because he appeared not to. Invariably, these plays would end in a duel-with stilettos,*with the super duper climax reached when the duel­ ists locked knives.at the.hilt, with great huffing and puffing untiTrihe yillian’s blade unexpectedly went fly-' ing through -the- air just as he’ ap­ peared t<i be getting the best of- the fiacus. In a last gesture o f gallantry *it.’ this .point, the unperturbed,hero would push'out his chest, Ipok down upon, the groveling wretch and bid him “ Begone!", Which he did forth­ with into the flies after first swishing his arms in that direction to provide dramatics to the exit. It was the custom to terminate such performances with a tableau Wherein ted fire powder was ignited to throw the scene'into brilliant re­ lief, The story goes that the famous pUrCell terminated his popular sojourn in otir village with a very ignoble ending; It seems Edward w a s some­ what* addicted to tipping'the bottle, and a group o f local pfankstera con­ nived Ben Ridgeway to play him a lowly trick, It is told that when Ed­ ward called fur his daily flask, there had been mixed betimes a dash o f potent catharie in the way o f an oil extracted from the shrub o f the g6nus croton: Needless to say, the old saw that “ the show must go* on", suffered a misnomer as a result o f this epi­ sode. Next in popularity among opera house performances was the occas­ ional visit o f a minstrel -troupe. There was always the band dressed in long tails and high hats that swung about town with lively airs. The popularity 6f our village as a “ aUcfcer" for cure-all medicines was also, known to all the fake Indian Chiefs, Herb Doctors, and peddlars o f snake oils, pain,killers and purgatives o f those jointed reptiles known as tape Worm. Who does not recall Dr. Cooper's Now Discovery, and how as a eotne-oh he Coursed our streets .behind snow white horses hurling coins like chaff .to the winds. Who has forgotten the contests for the popular lady and the popular baby with so many coupons with each bottle, plus a present o f the pain-king, plus the free com salve, plus the piles o f soap-that would make hair grow on a door knob, all fo r a silvah dollahl Those Were great days fo r Cedar- ville boys and great days fo r the faker who left With enipty trunks and bulging satchel, And-so the eld town hall is full o f stories. It has withstood the trespass o f the drab and the slap­ stick and resuhted its atmosphere o f character and dignity to be host to fine new citizens from our seats o f learning . It had afforded the eont* munity a meeting house to r affairs o f civic betterment, for spiritual arid cultural Uplift.
