Mr. Doughton is suggesting some sort of a compromise be worked out on Social Security tax rates. Incidentlly, funds paid into the Federal Treasury as Social Security taxes are -regularly “borrowed" and used for ordinary operating expenses of the government. So the higher such taxes become, the more money there will be in the fund to borrow ,and to spend. available. . Nine years ago 48,000 Ohio farms ■vt-re receiving central-station electric­ ity. Today 181,000 farms have elec- .ric service .which is 77 percent of all the farms in the state. . The House is expected to have be­ fore it this week .the one and one-half billion dollar Post-War Highway bill, which will authorize appropriations and expenditures of Federal funds to match state and local appropriations and local appropriations for the con­ struction of national highways and farm market roads following the end ‘of the war to help employment. This legislation has already passed the Senate, but undoubtedly many amend-' ments will be offered in the House to meet objections which have been rais­ ed to the Senate measure since its passage. Another bjll scheduled for early consideration by the House is a new crop insurance measure. For several years Federal government insurance was provided for wheat and cotton crops, but the venture proved to bo bo costly that Congress last Spring re­ fused to appropriate further money for its continuance during the new fis­ cal year, thus bringing the whole crop insurance program to an end June 30, last. Under the new proposal most staple crops would be covered, and the rates charged therefor would be on an adjustable basis so as to make the program self-supporting, ns far as losses are concerned, with the Federal government paying only the cost of general administration, A Senatorial.

PEACH LEAF CURL— Peach leaf curl is one of the most destructive disease attacking orchards once i t !gains foothold in peach plant­ ings. Fall is the best time for spray­ ing. With spring spraying there is danger of the bud swelling and becom­ ing infected in February and March, unce infection takes place there is no remedy. Materials to use are lime sulfate, six and a quarter.gallons to 100 gallons of water or a 6-8-100 Bor­ deaux mixture. Coverage should be thorugh with temperature above 40 degrees. A NEW FLY KILLER— The postwar outlook for flies is . ur- ious—for the flies—and keeps looking worse according to entomologists of the USDA. For years, pyrithrum has been the basis of most fly sprays. Since the war started a new chemical, DDT lias appeared, and tests show that if sprayed tin walls or spreens it will kill fiys more slowly but just as surely. On spraying it remains ef­ fective for as long as three months. Campaign Closes For Camp Clifton Fund Two hundred campaign workers in Greene, Champaign, Clark, Vinton, Fayette, Logan, Madison and Union counties brought to a close the past week a drive for funds for the future development of Camp Clifton. A . B. Evans , chairman of the fund in this county says, funds will be used to develop the Camp into a year-round meeting place for the benefit of all rural groups in this area. The camp is situated west of Clifton off the 'Mifton-Wilberforce road, HEN’S BOARD BILL $3.37— - Farmers who kept careful records oti their poultry flocks last year found that it cost on an average $3,37 per year to keep a hen, Plenty o t low production hens on Greene. County farms will not pay their way next year and the earlier they are culled out and sold for meat, the less their owner fill loose. n the ' rate of time and one-jialf. This will not be regarded inflation but to pay the farmer for his family help in producing crops is now regarded as inflation. George H. Abels Now At Great Lakes, 111. George Hubert Abels is receiving his initial Naval indoctrination at the U. S. Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, 111. His recruit training consists of in­ struction in seamanship, mpilitary drill, -and general Naval procedure. During this period a series of aptitude tests will be taken by the recruit to determine whether he will be assign-, ed to a Naval Service School or to im­ mediate duty at itea. When his recruit training is com- Ietcd, the seaman will receive a period of leave. Gov. Bricker Denies Special Session Asserting that public interest does not require a special session of the legislature, Gov. John W. Bricker late Monday declined to call the solons to consider salary increases for state and county employees as recommended by he Salary Study Commission. The legislature will meet the last week in December when the lawmak­ ers gather in regular session and can pass such bills as they deem neces­ sary. \ (EDITORIAL) THE PHONE OPERATOR'S STRIKE Greene county is having its first taste of what is turning to be a major strike that is affecting the farmer directly, the merchant, the banker, the housewife whose custom is to give the grocery order by phone and most im­ portant, the aged, the cripple and the infirm that help pass the long hours of the day visiting with friends,' relativesfi or perhaps making inquiry about that grandson in service in the South Pacific fighting to free some one, he even does not know who, There is some phone service, limited service *but not the can be attached to the company management. Mr. Roosevelt has set himself can be attached to the company management. Mr. Roosevelt has sethimself up as the arbitrator through a dummy war labor board to settle such things as “strikes”. He alone considers himself the sole judge in all disputes for which the company Bhould be truly thankful. The strike originated in Dayton when phone operators walked out be­ cause the company, to main tain service for the public, brought girls from out of town, paying an extra bonus for board and room because 'it was to be temporary employment, a practice the company has followed for years. It can be said with safety that many of the girls in Dayton that walked out have at times accepted this kind of money, for work at other exchanges and no taint was even thought of. The same can be said of the Xenia girls, or at least a part of them. Just so with the girls “out” in other cities on strike. When all the facts are bared the socalled wildcat or sympathhy strike, called even against orders of the War Labor Board, does not make good sense But'to strike is the-.order of the day. It was • one of the things you voted for November 7th if you put your “X" under the tail feathers of the “Roosevelt-Hillman rooster”. If you did not probably your neighbor did, sq your frown on such strikes should be cast his way. If we could read the ex­ pression on the faces of many New Deal Democrats last Monday in Xenia, little could be found that would indicate one hundred percent approval of the strike situation. We causualiy remarked to a good Democratic friend and took the liberty of asking him if he thought the “telephone service in Xenia was as good under Roosevelt as it was under Hoover?” His face beamed what you have guessed—shame! Of course the public is disturbed, disappointed and in some cases we hear bad language used to give exxpxression of protest. Others just laugh. As for the New Deal-Democrats, they have to grin and bear up under it. It is a part of their party platform. Business is not as usual and we might sight the banker. He cannot reach you, nor you cannot reach him. So he just puts everything downjn black and white on his books and sends it out by mail, a thing a lot of business people do not like but must take it these “strike” days. As we see it there are three interests at stake. The phone operators. They do not ask for. more money, or shorter hours. They object to some girls getting compensation for out of town work that they, or some of them, have taken with good grace in the past. Then we have the interest of the patron, Mr. Common Citizen, who is the victim or the living experimental guinea pig being used by Roosevelt in his dream of socializing the world, in plain terms forcing Russian Communism on the American people whether they like it or not: The telephone company is the third party and, probably at fault for en- deavering to give the best service possible. Dayton could -not and did not provide enoughsgirls for phone operators. Rather than let the service suffer girls from other town were brought in, and paid extra for board arid room for the emergency. The company was not compelled to do’ this but the ear marks today are that it is to be crucified for rendering a good'service to the patrons and the general public, when it did hot. have to do so and could have saved what the;extra gift was costing. We could hardly condemn the strikers for not obeying orders of the War Labor Board. It was a creation to be used to push the interests of the CIO and was and has been engineered to that end. (Shortly it will break the Little' Steel Formula and grant CIO steep "workers an increase in pay in re­ turn for Roosevelt support last election day.) These are the days of dreamers being “birds of a feather”, have flocked into Wi shington to have a hand in re­ shaping the world.’ There were dreamers back in the days of Noah and the warning waB given’even if not an election, but the dreamers dreamed-on and the Good Lord sent the great flood we are told. What fate awaits the world when a ruler blasphemes; God as was reported, when the magic hand could not make the lever of a voting machine turn the gears that Would add one more vote to continue the ruling hand of one who dreams of controlling the world, we do not dare a prediction. Miss Dorothy Anderson To Marry Andrew M. Lowry, December 27 Roosevelts Hold Thanksgiving Week Spotlight — Pilgrims Never Lived To Enjoy Antics o f Our Royal Family Ministers Ask F. D. R. GLENDALE, Cal, The Glendale Ministerial Association said ithad sent a letter to President Roosevelt asking him to apologize for what it termed his “shocking profanity,” while using a voting machine in the booth on elec­ tion day as reported by a news maga­ zine (Time). The ministerial association made public a letter to the president, signed by Dr. James Whitcomb Broughcr, sr. president which said in’part: “We . . . do hereby express to you our deep grief over your regretable breach against God and the conscien­ ces and hopes of millions of people of this and other lands. . . . ; “We earnestly pray that you may feel that contrition and seek that for­ giveness which the Holy God enjoins and publically apologize to and re­ assure faithful constituents and friends the world over whom you have so greatly grieved.” . In describing President Roosevelt’s visit to the polls on election day, Time said in last week’s issue; “From the green-curtained voting booth came a clank of gears as the main control lever jerked irritably back and forth. Then a voice, fmail* iar to all of the United States and to most of the world, soke distinctly from behind the cutains: “The G- - d——d thing won’t work.” Cleveland Plain Dealer F. D. R. Says He Cussed Just A Wee Tiny Bit WASHINGTON—President Roosevelt said yesterday that he did not take the name of the Deity in vain when a vot­ ing booth handle failed to work for him on election day. He was asked at a news conference whether anything “sinster” had come from the cooling booth where he cast his ballot in Hyde Park, N. Y. The facts, the President said, were that an old friend, Tom Leonard, was standing outside the booth when he entered, pulled the lever, failed to get a click, had another try, and locked the booth. So, he said, he called out to Tom that “the damn thing won’t work.” Some person—the President said ho didn’t know who, but he must be deaf —added another short word which he said he didn’t use. The' Glendale Ministerial Assocla? lion of Glendale, Calif., announced Nov. 16 it was writing the President asking him to apologize for “shocking profanity” when using the voting ma­ chine. The incident hapened Nov. 7th elec­ tion day. The story appeared in the following issue of “Time Magazine” and was not commented upon until the ministers took Action on Nov. 16.

Peace Time Draft *Of Boys and Girls Brings Flood of Protests \ , „• ■ • The proposal to draft all boys and girls between 18 and 22 years of age into government military training for arniy use in the future has brought a •shower of protest by. mail and tele'- grams upon members of .Congress and the White House. Both Mr. and Mrs..Roosevelt have been advocating military training for all youths to lace them on etjual foot­ ing with the youths of Central Europe and in Japan. With the heavy Roosevelt-Hillman majority .in both ‘Houses of Congress it is predicted any bill the Roosevelt favor will be passed. A majority of the republican members will no doubt vote against the proposal, what ever form it is introduced. Protest day was November 7th and a lot of patents will discover they “missed the boat” in voting for something they oppose now. ' Educators predict such a bill will if passed will reduce the college enroll­ ment fifty percent. The New Deal is determined to put the nation in European environment, wipe out religous- training and place the youth of America under the same form of training as Hitler and Musso­ lini have forced on their subjects.

Democrat Recount Held Up Due To Illness of Chairman The Democratic recount of ballots cast in one Xenia precinct bas not as yet been started, .The Greene Coun­ ty Board of Elections has ‘ not been called for a meeting due to the illness of Chairman Ritenour. Several Demo crats have been questioned as to what grounds the recount is based on but no one seems to know. One remarked to the writer Monday that “it was just a wild goose chase” and refused to go into details further. . The Democrats in Springfield hav­ ing received not much more tha con­ solation at the hands of the voters in the county, made a lot of noise for a number of days and asked represen­ tatives from the Secretary of State’a Office be present for the official count. Nothing developed and the ( Democrats crawled ijpek into their i holes to nurse their griel over losng one important county office. They held prosecutor but gained nothing else. The Clark county Democratic or­ ganization was taken over by the CIO and the old time city Democrats and those in the county voted against the combination.
