BROWN . Member o f Congress, Clinton Co. Draft Board r ’ Resignation ‘Stands’ Public Is Aroused Late last week, 'after a hectic ten day o f debate, the House of-Represen­ tatives passed and sent to the Senate its version of the G; I. Bill for the benefit o f war veterans and their de­ pendents.- The House measure was1 from n pnrlimentary angle, an amend ment to the original Senate Bill on the same subject, it was in fact almost completely new legislation. The’ Sen­ ate has refused to accept the House amendments, which means a confer­ ence committee will be named to work out the. differences between the. House and Senate Bills and agree upon a fi­ nal compromise measure, which, in turn,-must ,be approved by both the House and Senate,1and later by the President, before actually becoming law. Regardless of what the final draft of thq G. I. Bill may contain, one thing does appear certain, that the Ameri­ can .veterans of this war will receive greater benefits and better treatment from, their government than ever be­ fore afforded the fighting men of any nation. Veterans w,ill not only receive mustering-out pay upon discharge, but alsjv;wiU. be entitled to rehabilita­ tion, hospitilizntion and medical.trbat- meht at any time free of charge; un­ employment compensation, if they are unable to find a joli; the oppor­ tunity to continue their education, or to take a special training -course, at the expense o f the government; and the right to obtain'loans for the pur­ chase o f homes, farms or businesses V' * r. at low interest rates. . Col. C. W. Goble, state- selective service, director, Columbus, states the Clinton county draft board has advis­ ed him that they' will not withdraw their resignation as a body. The board refused to'defer a bank teller in a Wilmington bank and he was or­ dered for induction- on a certain date. The day the order was affective the state authorities gave the bank offi­ cial deferment after the local board and the appeal board turned it down. This started real trouble in the county seat, Wilmington, and soon the whole county was involved in the controversy, openly charging Demo­ cratic politics as behind the defer- Day Of Frayer Ofi Day . Invation Starts The Department? o f Evangelism, of the Federal Council o f Churches has planned for a Day of Prayer to be ob­ served in Europe. The churches of Cedarville wish- to co-opera£o in this fitting observance. The bells of our churches will announce the Call to Player on that day, and all people are invited to join with us in prayer for the success o f the Allies in this strug­ gle to save the world for democracy’, and to overthrow oppression and tyr­ anny, While our churches will be op­ en all day for anyone wishing to en­ ter to pray, there will be a general meeting for prayer. If the announce­ ment comes before 9. A. M., this meet­ ing will be held at 10 A, M. in the United Presbyterian Church. If the, 50 Years o f College Life BY ELMER JURKAT p ment when hundreds of other young i call should come later in the day, the piescnted a flag to the college men from the county, irrespective of meeting will be held' at 2 P.

The proposed law, as passed by the House, which makes all widows and children of-World War No. I ve­ terans eligible for benefits regardless o f cause of tlie veteran’s death, con­ tains but one limitation; the require­ ment that the widow must have mar­ ried the veteran prior to the date of final enactment of the. law.' The Sen­ ate is expected to approve the- bill be­ fore the June recess, but there is con­ siderable concern in Congressional circles over the likelihood of a Presi­ dential veto. A few years ago an al­ most exactly similar .bill passed the Congress by a heavy majority only to- •be vetoed by President Roosevelt, and he may follow the same course in con­ nection with the present bill. Many reports are reaching Con­ gressional offices telling of farmers being unable-to dispose of their hogs because of live stock yards, packing plants and storage facilities being fil­ led to over-flowing. While the recent lifting of meat surplus hog problem, all classes. For this reason the draft board refused to withdraw the resig­ nations at the request *of Col. Goble. Col, Gobcl states'that-he was not •onpowefed to accept the resignations and that such' actions must come from v’ashington, where the trouble prob- •hly originated. I t i s . generally be- 'eved -that the recent 18-2(5 draft or- >er out of Washington was for no ther purpose'than to protect at least he many-thousands of yellow Dorn-1 ■cratic slackers on government sal-1 ry while Greene county boys from! lomocratic families without political; mil are gun fodder in Roosevelt’s | army. The question now,under most dis- yssion in Greene county is: "Will he reported request of Capt.-Major- leneral George, Smith be granted and riven his release right at the time in- vation is slated when’ a million or more boys will be poured into the in­ ferno on the European front. Will the Democrats in the1 county stand for that brand of patriotic leadership? hat will, the Democratic parents- haye to.say?

MARY WILLIAMSON, ■ • Librarian The war .year o f 1917 though, had its own local sprinkling o f events, This was -when a new literary society, the "Orange and Blue” , was organiz­ ed. It was a year o f chicken roasts and of ,an epidemic of song books in the chapel piano. Also o f a new sport of carrying an absent roomer’s trunk to -the far end o f town. Florence Somers was editor o f the Cedrus, and a petite lady, Prof. Margaret Schned- er, late of Japan, cartooned the col­ legians, and, with Alberta Creswel), directed Cedar Day.

GET DEFEATED AT PRIMARY In the list of candidate at the recent primary election, Ernest R. Bradford, Beavercreek Twp., listed the highest expenses of any of the- county ...candi­ dates, $142.93 and received about 600 votes in-his race for state represen­ tative., The total expense for all can- dates in the county was $789.74. LETTER TO THE EDITOR it came too late to be of any worth- whilc benefit to those livestock, feed­ ers already having fat hogs on hand. If meat rationing had been lifted sev­ eral moriths ago, when Members of Congress from rural areas were first urging OPA to take such action, theij the present situation would have beetf avoided and a. more orderly market­ ing of hogs would have resulted Under the old-fashioned, but not outmoded, law of supply and demand. A siniilar Serious situation is af­ fecting poultrymen. 'While the War Food Administration has guaranteed a floor price of thirty cents a dozen for eggs, actually egg prices; have been far below that figure for se'veral ■weeks and in some sections of the country farmers have been' receiving as low ns fifteen to eighteen cents per dozen for their eggs. I-na few lo­ calities they have been unable to market their eggs at any price. Yet in Washington, and other large cities, Grade A eggs are selling at anywhere •from forty to forty-eight cents per dozen in the retail stores, War Food Administration officials have govern­ ment buyers attempting to sustaiiv dny of the'yenr.'Hune 21;and you will the egg floor prices by making large, have no /trouble ujith bugs enting the purchases’ in areas where surpluses exist, but thus far their efforts have not brought the results expected. -Wi nXio.ldT_Kan.,_May_22, 1944 WHEN TO PLANT WHEN YOU PLANT IN THE MOON There are a lot of good folks that plant garden and crop seeds itj the ground.

Moreover, what ho writes is readable. You should offer him a munificent salary to write .for the Herald every week, I hope he goes on to write a history of the town, of Greene county, of the State, the nation, and of the world! Congratulations tin the improve-, ment of your paper. Glad to see you are still carrying on. With best-wishes, I remain, Very sincerely yours, LEROY ALLEN of jwood, and the first war’ casualty from the college, Wallace Anderson. 1921, 1922, 1923; the years slid by like silvered ducks in a shooting gal­ lery. .Women had the vote. Mr. Hard­ ing from Ohio was the new president, and .we had ° something called “ nor­ malcy.” It was the-time o f the flap­ per, and prohibitum 'and the “ Model T” and the new .Lincoln Highway. There weif: still cars around named Paige, and Saxon, and Haynes, and the, Jordan “ Playboy” . Will Rogers came to Dayton in the Ziegfeld Fol­ lies, and folks i, were reading a book entitled “ This Side of Paradise.’’ • -The war was over though not paid for,, and boys* began to trickle back from battlefield and camp. John. Wri(rlit. Carl Duncan, Roy Insley, nnd three boys from Elwood City, Pa., Iowa Paper Boo«t« Ohio Governor for President The Mt. Pleasant News, Henry Co., Iowa, a daily paper, mlnces ho <Words and comes out fo r' Governor John W, Brieker for president. The News says; “Pewey is not our Choice for presidential -nominee. We Have-noth­ ing against Mr. Dewey. His record was made as prosecuting attorney for N ew -York City, and he did * great and worthy job in cleaning up crimi­ nal organizations. But we ;are unable to recognize in a**mah, who Can run down and jail criminals, and destroy their organizations, this experience or ability as likely to be eTfecti.Ve. Ih the executive qffice of this great country. And yet such a record makes-a tre­ mendous appeal to the emotional. Just' as we, .as a .people, adore the winner, of a great prize fight, the hero of the football gridiron. • “Our choice is , Governor Brieker; No coyness there. No flirting. No t shyness. Frankly, and at onCe, he an-{ nounced his determination to seek the nomination. And that is ill to the! good. On November 15, 1913, .-she months ago, Governor Brieker made this clear and dignified statement: “tf am a candidate for the Republican nomination for President",of the Unit­ ed States.” “No apologies. No "being urged by my many'friends. ” Norwaiting to be drafted./ We like that as muoh^as we So dislike |the' “Hesitation Walts” popular at political parties. “We like Bricker’s. attitpde On in­ ternational matters. No Union Now. No .One World nonsense; Just plains clean defense of- our own great Amer­ ica and fair play in the great internal tional game of politics, trade and gen­ eral economics. “We like his record as govehier of Ohio, thrice overwhelmingly elected to that great office. And, note thlB; he does not like debt. When Governor Brieker took his seat as executive of Ohio, that state was $40,000(000 in debt. At the end. of the staters-last fiscal year, that debt had been paid off and $74,000,000 cash was safely in the state treasury. And we like that too. ' ; ' Governor Brieker, twice State At­ torney General of Ohio, is a*fine lock­ ing man, and the.picture of his "Wife resembles very much that of the belov ed Mrs. Galvin Coolidge. We would tike a return to the White House of that type of “First Lady” of the na­ tion. What really appeals to us is that the Brickers, in private and pub­ lic life, in their attitude toward good living, good citizenship, and good gov­ ernment, is that they truly represent the great majority of the people of this country, which we call the “mid­ dle class.” Governor Brieker is first choice of many, and second choice for a majority of the"Republicans Of the country.” ' ALONG FARM-FRONT £ .

MRS. EARL ANDREW STRUCK . BY MORTORIST; INJURED trying to prevent the adoption of any amendments to tin? present Price, Control Law, nnd a hard legislative battle on the Floor is expected. Mrs. Earl Andrew was injured on last Thursday When hit by an auto driven by Mrs. Isabelle Taylor, near the Andrew home, The. latter was erossing the street and misjudged the speed of the auto. She received a fractured shoulder nnd other bruises which wore treated by Dr, Donald Kyle. s Johnny Waite, Charles Brown, and a young man named Clede Markle, who didn’t yet have a moustache. The ex­ periences of war made some of them restless and one result was a* clamor for the revival o f football. The high, school and college joined forces, pro­ duced a monster athletic parade (they marched cut to Lizzie Blair’s and hack), hired a coach named Joe Blackburn, and s.erit Doc Richards, “ Arch” Cresweil, and Raymond Rite- nour to Columbus to. buy a carload of equipment, Along about Thanksgiving time some o f • the rooters began to say, ‘Oh Well, we didn’t expect to do much the first year,” It was a good thing then, because the only credit was a 2-0 squeeze out over Antioch, And it rained all day. There was an oyster supper that night at the R, P. church, or were you there? The, town was football Crazy for a few years: orange land blue bunting, chalked windows, flags out every Week end in those balmy fall days, Antiochjiad started it again too but although* the two teamB were about eVe"nly matched there were not many other schools nenrby in the same ath­ letic bracket, Antioch quit after a- while" but Cedarville kept on with lots df fup but not much success till about 1934 when both the scores and the ex­ penses got too high, and .tliey dropped f t , Coaches changed often .'

MAGAZINE COUNSELS GOP TO ANALYZE SITUATION Taking note of the effect of the Brieker campaign, Life Magazine, one time su’ijgorter of Willkie, in a full page nonpartizan editorial fn a recent issue, "suggests that "Republican del­ egates before stampeding to Dewey Should consider the claims of the Mid­ west.” It describes this section as the “main spring of Republican W- connescenceV and points out that a stronger forejgn policy is a likely re­ sult of a Republican president should he be chosen from the Midwest rath­ er than the Atlantic coast area.
