-rr SIXTY -SEVENTH YEAR ' No. 3 CONGRESSIONAL HAPPENINGS IN WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member of Congress, Seventh Ohio District / Typical o f bureaucratic activities on. the home front -was last week’s expose J ! i 1!ir'eu 1 o f a recent plea put forth by lorncials i ’ ’ ■ o f the War Relocation Authority .to ™ interned Japanese that they accept assignments to Midwest farms, be­ cause they were' “ needed to teach bathing and sanitation” to American .tillers o f the soil. This amazing Bureaucratic statement made special reference to Ohio and Michigan farm­ ers and their tenants, accusing, them o f uncleahliness and asserting^ the need for the interned. Japanese to . give them instructions as to how to keep clean, and how to work. A storm o f protest from Ohio ,and Mich­ igan Congressmen! soon forced a with- 1drawal o f the ' offensive statement. However; the end is not yet; and high. officials o f the War Relocation Auth­ ority; who have already been under , fire for their “ softness" toward Jap prisoners,.may soon; be ousted ffoir public service. Ohio and Michigan farmers, many of whom nave sons fighting the Japanese in the islands of the South Pacific, have been working long hours to produce food, and mak­ ing other sacrifices on the home front They need no Japanese help in keep­ ing clean or in operating their farms The WRA statement was an-insult tc every farm family in ,Anferica, and will not soon be forgotten. It war 'also a perfect example o f the a r : rogance and asinine? stupidity of bu­ reaucratic- officials who are in n< way directly responsible to the people they serve. DIVORCE SUITS Seven divorce suits, with husbands j;'amtiffs in six actions, are cn file in common pleas court this week.

A petition has been circulat­ ed in Springfield, to be sent to Wash­ ington protesting high prices on men's ladies and childrens clothing in that city." , i Under the OPA merchants are re­ quired to sell, clothing made this year at the same price as in 1941. A store that has opened up since 1041 or put in a line of clothing can sell at prices twice as high. The OPA.holds mer­ chants cannot' mark up goods carried over from 1941 or 1942 to present day costs. The signers' of the petition want prosecution. Those who can prove high prices can-recover with damages three times the.-original or previous retail price.- There was a time when there were numerous Democrats ih business. Since the New Deal"jmdst o f them have changed their political views. ; Rail Strike Can Cure Many Ills The announcement that 350,000 union rail road workers had vot.ed al­ most unanimously to strike on Decem­ ber 30, no doubt wquld throw the na- |tion into a turmoil but.from it would i be a cure for many of the New Deal iecoiionii(’sand political ills. | It is the first strike in the history ! o f .the nation based on other than in- First it is an attack v It now appears that Members o' ’ Congress will- have 'only a short- Christmas recess— if any at all----- fo r every effort‘will be made to settle the food subsidy issue and enact i .new tax law before the present ses­ sion o f Congress recesses or'adjuurns.

Union leaders brand the Roosevelt ad­ ministration as retarding the war ef­ fort for political purposes and at the- same-time robbing- parents while-‘the boys are fighting} for freedom.

Krohn, a close LINCOLN SOYBEANS TO BE SOWN A limited amount of foundation seed of the Lincoln Soybean has been se­ cured for Greene County and will be sown next year by Harper Bickett and J. B. Mason. The seed is to be grown under inspection and certification to multiply the variety as rapidly as pos­ sible. The Lincoln soybean is probably the most outstanding soybean variety yet developed. It matures only slightly later than Mingo, about with the Dun- field and Iliini, and much earlier than the Scioto. Yet over a four year per­ iod it has yielded three to seven bu­ shels more, than these varieties. It is superior in standing ability, and ranks ahead of them in quality and content o f oil. The seeds are rich yellow in color and have( deep black seed scars. ■ This year 118 acres were sown un der contract for the Department of Agronomy of Ohio State University. The entire crop is being reserved for increase under inspection in the var­ ious counties to get this -superior-var­ iety into wide use in Ohio in the few­ est possible .years.

The hogs that are carried over from one day to the next' because the packer can not take care of the run Ijavc to be fed! In audition to paying for the feed, the farmer hns to pay for their care, and stand the loss in weight. Producers are urge to keep a close “hock on hog receipts and to contact marketing agencies to make sure the hogs can be handled on the market before they leave the farm. Heavy hogs should be sold first and hogs weighing less than 200;pounds be-held back. (Continued on Page Three) RATION FOR HOGS A ration for sows,' recommended by Howard Davison extension swine spec­ ialist of the Ohio State University, consists of 50 pounds of corn, 25 lbs. of oats, wheat, or middlings; 14 lbs, of alfalfa or meal, 10 pounds of pro­ tein supplement, and a pound of min­ erals. The grain, hay, supplement, and min­ erals can be ground, mixedr and fed at the rate of five to six pounds per day. The corn may also be fed as ear corn, one feed a day and the other ingredients mi(xc.d and fed alt the other daily feeding period. - Brood sows should have plenty of exercise. Exercise for the sow helps produce strong henlthy pigs and strong pigs are the easiest to raise. HOG MARKETING The 48,891,000 hogs slaughtered under Federal inspection in the first 10 months of 1943 were 16 percent / (Continued on Pago Three) Frequently a train loaded with sol­ diers would pass through." They were in freight ears with a passenger car for the officers at the rear. They would shout so that they could be heard away off. Then mothers would run to the pantry and pack up pies and cakes, and things they had on hand;''and away we boys would go for the train, usually sidetracked for a passing train. In less time than it takes to tell it everything was gone. I recall well a stalwart,, likely a Corporal, who, apparently walking as a guard, wasn’t there quite in time. He asked, “ Who h'as those pies?" Their coming was not known, or much more would have been really. You have a warm feeling for soldiers when a cousin comes to your house with one leg o ff and you chance to sec the unhealed place. Gangrene was one of. the .dangers. The sore had to be burned out with a hot iron, and no anesthetic in those days. Possibly some are living, who have seen ‘James Frazier walk with a cane and limp, because of a bullet in his thigh. An­ other thing quite noticeable in Cedar­ ville was the loads o / wood hauled to the families of soldiers. War is an awful thing, but it brings out gener­ osity. All us boys intended 'to be soldiers,1and Generals, riding a fine horse, like General Washington's pictures. . If you chance to have an old pic-' ture of soldiers and Officers you will see that nearly all wore whiskers. A copy, qninll, o f General Robert. E. Lee and about fifteen of his officers, shows practically all of them with beards and the bit o f a cap,, except the General himself who had whiskers and a hat,, Whiskers were the fashion in tin ie. days. Now they are usually seen on Itubbis, ' Wonder what everybody would, look like if ull wore beards? Budwiser had shaved.; ; Hello, Shingledecker! 1 am not Shingledecker! Don't you live down by the railroad. T^e chil­ dren would see a strange man coming to the door, and would run and hide. And think o f this, men' wore shawls! Overcoats had' not co'm'e"’in,"except" in the army. The shawl-would .be folded so that it would cover- not much more than the shoulders and back. It was held in place by a four, inch safety- pin. Added to. this was a. neck fur piece covering the "ears—the fashion 90 years ago. Courtship ia the early days had hin- deranecs; Especially was this so in New England. When Mary chanced to go by, John thought lie had never seen' such a beautiful girl. He must find a way to get acquainted. He be­ gan to take inventory of himself. He was .sure he looked like a squat house, with the chimney onjifirO. Presently he ipet the charming girl-—his face flaming like his red hair. The more he talked with her the surer he was .that no one had ever lived.os lovely. With fearful heart, boots feeling awful-big,, hands- like shovels,-and Jiis words crosswise, lie managed to say, “ I may be'going, by yoilr house to­ morrow evening,' and if you are to be at home! I- want to see your pap about a calf if he has one to sell!" Smiling sweetly, she was sure she 'would be at home. Now’ begins the New England way. In those early days! one "room cabins did not have parlors and sofas. All young folks would sit at each erid 6f a table and would 'talk through a long hollow tub'e. Well; Well! Just sup­ pose! But so far as known the tube never reached Cedarville. But listen­ ing to courting names! Where is Cal ? lie hast gone “ sparking” Sparking? Who is he sparking? Hazel! He “ sits up" with her once or twic.e a Week! Worthy Colored Folks Very few colored folks were ih Cedarville township until the close of the Civil war. We recall just one fnmily by the name, of Cordial. They had a cabin back in the woods about three miles from town. It was on a left hand side of the road about. 200 yards above uncle Henry Kyle's house. Cousin Clara knows its lo­ cation if still -there, The hands on our farm for many years-were colored men. They were good Workmen and thoroughly trust­ worthy, -Mr. Marshall spoke of George Steele. He worked for us many seasons. He put in 20. acres of wheat on the “ shares” . Presently he owned a team, Probably a good many will remember Jqff Fowler. About 1866 he came up from Qarolina with a family by the name of Hamilton.
