States Senators to the various war fronts o f the world,~ and their reports to the Senate in executive sessions, still continues to bring repercussions, While the President has endeavored to laugh o ff criticisms made by -the Senate group o f, the conditions found on their travels, the fact remains their revelations have been so serious and so astounding as to make probable of­ ficial Congressional investigations of if number o f pur international and war activities. The Committee’s confiden­ tial reports on Lend-Lease operations are expected to result in a searching review o f the whole Lend-Lehse pro­ gram* The failure to make full use o f foreign oil supplies, while draining the United States o f that precious fluid, will be another subject o f in­ quiry. The right o f the, United States to. use foreign air and sea bases, con­ structed at American expense, dur­ ing the postwar period; is expected to .develop into an immediate issue. More .activity in the Pacific theatre o f war, With greater support for General Mc­ Arthur, is also expected to result . from the Senatorial delegation’s visit to that section o f the globe. But above all else, the reports made of the Senatorial Committee will cause' the .Congress to carefully re-examme the policies and activities o f our gov­ ernment in the field o f international relationship, to make certain that the interests o f the United States are better protected. • * DIVORCE SUITS Winona M. Furay has filed suit fo r alimony only against Charles T, Furay, Yellow Springs in common pleas court. ' The Furays were married December 31,. 1895 and have five children, all adults.

Detroit Congress To Drag Now Deal Slackers Into'Army The House Military Affairs Com­ mittee recommended for passage a bill that would defer fathers until other available able, bodied men were forced into the service, > - There are thousands o f single able bodied men o f draft age in govern­ ment service in Washington and a- round every camp in the nation. Many o f these slackers are sons or relatives o f high Democratic New Deal polit­ icians hiding behind government em­ ployment to escape the draft.

The resolution stresses America’s desire for- peace and for . “ cooperation with other soverigp , states, through constitutional pro­ cesses,” to maintain future peace, l ik e the Fulbright Resolution, which was passed in the House and side- tracked in the Senate, the Senate res­ olution1is most, general in character and actually leaves to the future the' fixing o f any definite course to be followed by this nation in interna­ tional affairs. The measure'is a sim­ ple Senate* resolution, which will con-1 sequently not be sent to the House f o r 1 . adoption. The Fulbright Resolution, being a joint resolution, must be a- . dopted by the Senate in'order to be a 'legal and binding Congressional ac­ tion. seeks custody o f the youngest child who is now in his care.

According to a statement issued from Washington to try to protect the slackers and deceive the public there were 3,385 employees o f the federal government in Ohio' alone who have been deferred. O f this number 841 are in the Montgomery, Greene and Clark county area around Patterson and Weight fields1. The army has asked for deferment o f 100 Greene countians, 8 for the Navy and three for other purposes. Drafting fathers and sons o f Ohio county families and yet have the sons o f other families without New Deal political pull forced into the army should arouse public sentiment in the name o f fair treatment for all classes. These deferments in many cases were asked for by army and navy officers and granted over protests of local draft boards.

Harold Marshall- Coal Shortage Is Now Quite Serious With the frost on the pumpkm and ice on the water trough the American home without coal for the wipter is facing a serious situation. Not only homes but public and private insti­ tutions are yet without coal ip many eases. . . Locally coal dealers are no better o ff than, in most pities. Coal was supposed to be rationed on a basis o f last years shipments, . Under New Deal bungling local coal dealers ate not getting any kind o f coal. Prom­ ises on the part o f dealers made one jveek have no bearing on the week following. The situation is blamed by govern­ ment officials on shipments going to .the lakes. The real blame is that the miners are not producing as much coal due to labor trouble and wage increases. Hundreds of young miners are -in.the army. More, have quit dig­ ging coal for $10 and $1? daily wage in war industry. The battle, between Roosevelt and Lewis will Continue due to the ap­ proaching presidential .election, Meantime the public suffers cold feet and chilis on all, government promises- The local dealer, is a help­ less victim of circumstances in the great battle of Roosevelt vs. Lewis. fourteen Dads Among Forty-Five County Draftees Fourteen o f the 45 draftees that left this county Monday, were “ dads”, all' being sent from townships by Draft Board No. 2.

Since there, is a shortage o f com­ mercial and farm storage, consumers are urged to anticipate their needs and buy larger quantities than they usually buy pt one time, If each family would buy a bushel or two in­ stead o f a peck or half bushel now, the storage problem would he solved. Progressive Club To Sponsor Census For Vacant Rooms <T>LD CEDARVLLE” F. M, FOSTER Cj.der mills are hare and there in the country, and will continue to he- But probably never will one be made like my grandfather Kyle’s, A home­ made screw may he a foot in diame ter, passed through a very heavy up­ right frame. Just a little o ff center was a squared beam probably. 20 inches, resting on this screw. The beam was about twenty-five feet long. It was let down on the grdhnd apples w;th practically its full weight by easing the screw, Yfhen down all the way nearly every drop o f cider was pressed out. But screwing that beam up again was a slow hard job. Very few now living know what is meant by “ Firing an Anvil” During the Civil War in the early 60’ s some way had to be. found to make a big noise whenever the news, by round­ about ways came o f a victory. The men would wait until evening when streets were full o f people and in hilarious mood- Then Huffines would open their blacksmith shop and strong men would carry the anvils to the street. An opening in.the anvil would be filled .with powder. The other would be set on top and the powder touched off. The noise was like a cannon, heard fo r many miles. The wartime excitement was great. When Morgan’s Cavalry crossed from Ken­ tucky, things were--at fever heat. Riders were sent galloping put every' road shouting-“ The rebels are eight miles o f Cincinnati t” A wagon soon came to get all rifles. .But Morgan turned up state and came as far as Adams County. That was coming in the direction o f Cedarviile i about 35 m ile s aw a y . Everybody was excited! Where can we hide our horses? Valuables? There was running here and there and great crowds in town. Then word came that Morgan had turned back into Kentucky- Great was the relief. Everybody just sat down to rest frayed nerves, and get a good breath. Another time when it looked like Ohio might be invaded the1Militia was called out. Companies gathered in Cedarviile to entrain fo r Columbus. Excitement Tan high. A long train was loaded, and amid many tears, and much shouting, was off. The State officials had called the Militia, but had made no provisions for . them at Columbus. There-were ho tents, no blankets,, and the only food was what the men' had brought. Thousands from all over the state came. Coiiipanys Were sent but here and there ,outside the town to sleep in the fields. Some did not like it one little bit. Others made sport of the situation* In the darkness, a bunch o f young fellows would slip up on another company, and pounding on pans would shout and yell MOR­ GAN! What running and jumping fences to get away. .About the next day the Order came. . Entrain *for lome and they arrived a bedraggled lot o f men, fighting mad for having to go to Columbus and not any prep­ aration for them. \ Also, there waB one sad side to the matter. Rev. McCoy, pastor o f the U, P. Church, and our pastor, H. H. The Progressive Club wilt sponsor a census o f the town in a fev$ days for the purpose o f finding out how many vacant furnished rooms would be available for roomers. Each week finds many applications for vacant rooms, Another feature of the census "Wilt he the enumeration of each member o f the household including roomers. The census will be taken by college girls who will call at each home for tho above information. Give them your support.
