So remember— Better Buy a Bigger Bond. School Minstrel Set For December 7th All Federal employees in -Washing­ ton, other than those in the postal service, were required to remain on their jobs Thanksgiving Day. Leave could not even be granted for working wives to quit an hour early to prepare the Thanksgiving dinner. 'Absence from their, posts of duty would have seriously interfered with the war ef­ fort, they were told. Yet on. Friday) November 10th when President Roose­ velt returned from Hyde Park, follow­ ing his triumph at the polls, all gov­ ernment workers were given permis­ sion to leave their work and join in welcoming the coiiquoring hero home as he rode slowly down Pennsylvania Avenue, accompanied by Vice Presi­ dent Wallace and Vice President-elect Truman. The third ‘annual- Red and White Minstrel show given by the boy’s chorus of our high school will be pre sented Thursday, Dec. 7th a t 8:16. In the past two years the performance haB been given in the school auditor­ ium but due to the fact that both the stage and auditorium are not adequatb for the large numbers of both per­ formers and listeners, the min|strel will be given in the opera house. The show will consist of an over­ ture by the minstrel band, a lot of snappy songs, good jokes by the end men and dancing. Those who have seen Kenny Huffman as an end man won’t want to miss him in his third year up, a natural who has helpod to make the shows in years past. , Roger Ulsh, .Paul Struewing and Harold Stormont are each serving his second term . as an end man, three more senior boys who will be greatly missed in next years performance. Those four are being ably supported by two new jes­ ters, Lamar Hunimnn and Jim Wise- cup. Dempy Frey is replacing George Abels this year as the ’’middle man" and his pleasing personality nml ease with which he carries on the show-is a credit to his ever populnr predeces­ sor. In June of 1943. the House voted to kill the Federal crop insurance plan because it had proven costly and un­ workable. Last week the same House, completely' reversing itself, enacted a new crop insurance law, under which wheat, cotton and flax crops will im­ mediately become insurable against almost every hazard with about every other farm product to be included lat­ er. A limitation restricting cost of ad­ ministration to not more than twenty- -five percent of the total premiums received Was written into the law. The change in the House position on &*op insurance resulted directly from the action of both the Democratic and Re­ publican National Conventions early last summer in writing into the party platforms pledges of support for such rogram.—If crop insurance can be furnished to the farmers of America on a sound actuarial basis, at prem- iujps they can afford to pay, under a system which will take care of bona- fide crop losses and still guard against unscrupulous practices by the few, all agriculture will be greatly benefited, Time, and time alone, will prove whether a workable crop insurance program can be set up and alminis- tered by the government. The House has' before it this week the Post-War Highway Bill, which provides for a three year program of Federa) qj(j to the States, on a fifty- fifty basis, for the ‘construction of Federal and State highways and farm to market roads. The bill calls for a Federal expenditure of five hundred million dollars a year for road im­ provement. The Senate has already passed a somewhat similar measure. Many amendments have been written into the legislation by the House, and more are expected to be considered and accepted before it finally becomes law. Leon Hendepsftn, staunch New Dealer and former stormy petrel ljead Of the Office of Price Administration, is said to be scheduled for early ap­ pointment as Economic Advisor to Gapera!

Somehow pr ether the idea appeals to uss as a good oppr-for certainly Leon would be in his element, and the Ger­ mans deserve the punishment. . Keep your eyes on the government ;dfsposal of surplus war goods. There have already been quite a number of V«ty peculiar transactions in connec­ tion wjth, the disposal of certain gov­ ernment property, and many obser­ vers in Washington believe a real na­ tional scandal may develop in this particular field unless corrective steps are soon taken* Itt the last two weeks there has been a great deal of talk in high places regarding the shortage of mu­ nitions, especially of small arms am­ munition and heavy shells, for use on the Western Front, Both General Eis­ enhower and President Roosevelt have mentioned the dangerous shortage which exists and the heed for increas­ ed production, There has been some Inclination to blame American Indus­ try for the present situation, The truth of the matter is quite a number of ordnance plants were ordered closed down last summer and others $o reduce their working schedules to •iiiitiiiMiiMtiimiiiiiiiiMiiHimitiiiiMiiiiiiitiaMimiimiiiimii .

I t is a story of the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, New York and Paris, the former being a native of this place. The story was published in the Cincinnati Commer­ cial Gazette, that paper having sent a reporter here for the event. The pa­ per carrying this story is mellow with age and partly multilated. The paper was brought to this office by Ralph Fitzwater, and the account of the re­ ception tendered the Reids will be of interest to those, who recall the event and had part in it as it Will be to the younger generation that probably has not been informed that a Cedarvillian was once the Republican candidate for Vice President of the U, S. on a ticket wjth Benjamin Harrison of In­ diana, as the candidate for president. Both were defeated by Grover Cleveland and Adail E.> Stevenson, A little background might be of inter­ est to the public and just what one of the political, issues of that day was. It was in the early days of the first la­ bor unions, the printers of the country being the strongest. It was also the pioneer days for the introduction of the Mergenthaler Linotype, a type­ setting machine that set the* type on a metal slug. Until this time all pews matter was set by hand, the letter of each word' having to be picked from a square box in a drawer-like case that held a certain amount of each letter. The larger daily papers of that day employed fifty or a hundred type-set­ ters and were paid the customary wages of $12 to $15 a week, six ten- hour days constituted a week, In this county as late as 1900 a dollar a day was a good wage fop printers ip the country shops, and many a girl work­ ed for $2 a week, •■The printer's union was much op­ posed to the new-fangled method of setting type on the ground that, such ■machines would throw thousands of •nen out of work. Whitelaw Reid was then head of 1 the New York Tribune and saw the possibility o f t h e - type­ setting machine, as crude as it was, The inventor went broktf^j^d needed financial aid and Mr. Reid with some other publishers came to his aid and the Tribune composing room the held for development. This angered the union printers who tried and did cause Mr. Reid much trouble but he would not yield; When he was nominated for vice president the printers with other labor organizations campaigned nr gainst both Republican nominees apd both were defeated. As years went by the Mergenthaler linotype machine neared perfection until today tho smallest newspaper must depend on “machine composition." The story of the public reception is of local inter­ est but the political background will g.ve the reader a 'connection that is .idt mentioned in the Commercial. Ga­ zette. ing home-to the scene of his boyhood days, and to the present home of liis venerable mother, one who has since achieved for himself, for his native village, and for his country at large, many and great honors. We have long known him to respect and honor him. He lived and toiled among us as stu­ dent, teacher and editor. Whitelaw Reid honored God in the days of his youth, and applied himself to intellec­ tual pursuits. In youth he was active and untiring in [educating his own mind. Since then j he-has been as ac­ tive in training the minds of other. He has distinguished himself in journal­ ism, literature, politics and diplomacy. We honor him for his courage and industry, his' great intellectual and moral powers, and because he used them to elevate, educate and ennoble mankind. We feel that the interest, the liberty and. the rights of the peo­ ple of this country would be safe In his hands, One of the great political parties has honored him by nominat­ ing his for the plaiie of vice president. You are come to see and to hear him; and I have the pleasure and the honor to introduce to you, Ladies and gentle­ men, the Honorable Whitelaw Reid,” (Great Applause,) On Mr, Reid being introduced tre­ mendous applause greeted him as he stepped to the front of the platform, lasting some time, MR. REID’S ADDRESS Mr. .Harper, old friends and neigh- ors—This is indeed an ideal welcome, and my only regret is to find myself wholly unprepared for it; unprepared, because 1 had not anticipated such a company; unprepared, because I had expected only to meet bid friends and neighbors, and to shake them by the hand. But it is, nevertheless, an ideal wel­ come in site of the ■additional neces­ sity of making a few remarks, because you give me the privilege of’meeting mj^old friends and neighbors here without distinction of party, sex, race I do not wish that this occasion should take on formal character what­ ever, It gave me the greatest pleas­ ure to accept your invitation to meet my old friends, without distinction of party. You could not have conferred a*more grateful welcome upon me, and I have hoped that it would be abso­ lutely a family affair. I sincerely trust I may not be thought to overstep the proprieties of the sugges­ tion that has been twice used on this platform; that really the greatest pleasure I have, next to the pleasure I have in seeing so many familiar faces, is the pleasure I know it gives to a certain dear old lady, now in her eighty-ninth year, and the greatest regret I have is that a similar pleas­ ure might not have been vouchsafed to that good gray head- so many of you knew, and all loved who knew it Once more, Mr. Harper and ladies and gentlemen, I tender you my most grateful thanks for your kindness, and for all the good will which this meet­ ing shows. I beg you to understand that I appreciate it more because I know what the community is, . . The paper being multilated and a paragraph missing we go on to the next.— Ed. Mrs. Reid was on the platform and took a deep interest in all the pro­ ceedings. ‘ ■ At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Reid took his stand a t the en­ trance to the platform ,shaking hands of all the multitude that crowded a- bout him, in many instances recalling some reminiscences of days long gone by. Old school mates whom he had not seen for years, and whose hair like his own, had now turned to silver gray, crowded around him, as well as old friends of his parents, some of ; whom had traveled for miles through the hot weather to greet him. At the same time the ladies had taken Mrs, Reid in charge, and organized quite a reception. The crowd about the plat- i form was so dense that it was nearly Mr. and Mrs, Edwin Westprfleld of Cincinnati spent the Thanksgiving va« cation with Mrs, Cora Trumbo and Mildred, one shift. Who is responsible for such orders? Those who take credit for tiie victories must also accept re­ sponsibility for the mistakes which are made in the war planning, Complete official election returns from the 7th District gave Dewey 83,- 749; Roosevelt 59,747; Stewart 84,654; Lausche 56,775; Taft, 80,942; Pickrid 67,289; Brown 84,770; Cashin 52,403. Your humble servant is very grateful for the fine vote given him. - Cedarville, O., August 20—The greatest event in Cedarville for many years Was the reception given today to Hon, Whitelaw Reid, Greene Coun-, ty’s favorite son, who arrived here this morning with his family by car­ riage from Xenia, proceeding to the home of his aged mother, near the villajfo-jyherp a number of represen­ tative citizens and prominent Repub­ licans greeted Jiim, He is the same pleasant, affable gentleman as when a young man resided here. Old friends for miles around assembled at 3 o’ clock in the afternoon on the lovely grounds belonging to the residence Hon. Andrew Jackson, hajf a mile south of the village, to welcome him to his home. Large numbers of peo­ ple came in carriages from Springfield and other places and a special train carried many from Xenia, county scat, The reception was in the nature of an informal reception gotten up by citizens of all parties, Mr, William Blair, editor of the Cedarville Herald* mil a membev of the Typogrohpical Union, having.been instrumental prin­ cipally in organizing the affair. George Harper* rock-ribbed Demo­ crat* presided as repjdept of the meet* ing, and rode in the carriage with Mr, and Mrs, Reid to the groundsrOn the platform, among other notables* were Judge Hulick, of Batavia, candidate on the Republican ticket for Congress in this district; Colonel Robert Doan, of Wilmington, present Congressman and other prominent persons from all political parties. As Mr, Reid stepped from the car­ riage he was at once surrounded by old friends and acquaintances* who kept him busy handshaking for quite a while, Hon. Andrew Jackson called the meeting to order and introduced Mr. George Harper, who in turn introduc­ ed Mr. Reid in the following neat speech; MR. HARPER’S WELCOME “It is the pleasant duty appointed to me by generous neighbors* of wekoni* —'Without any distinction whatever, i I have the rivilege of meeting you simply as men and women, who have known me from my booyhood, and many of whom haW first known and regarded me for my parent.^ sake. It will be the proudest laurel I shall ever hope to win if, at the end .of my career, it may still be said that I nev­ er forfeited that regard. (Applause) No applause can ever be so grateful to any right-thinking man as that of the people who knew him best, have known h>m longest, and have followed his whole career with that kindly, yet critical, watchfulness which elders and playmates give to the children they have known. Better far, it seems to me, certainly, and sweeter far, the, cheer of one’s native village than the- proudest honors of the metropolis, or< or even the nation. (Applause). ‘ It is great pleasure to recejve this testimonial of kindly good will from old friends and neighbors at your hands, (Turning to Mr. Harper,) We have, known each other, I shall not venture to say in the presence of wives, both of whom are considerably younger than ourselves, quite how long, but certainly over a third of a century; and in that time we have al­ ways differed in politics, and never differed on anything else, (Laughter.) I ‘hope that distinction may never vary, unless it shall vary in one way; and I have almost abandoned hope of ever seeing any change in that par­ ticular. (Laughter). It is another source of pleasure on this occasion,, and a source also of some sadness to me on this spot* sur­ rounded by so many memories of one of Ccdarvillc’s best and most lament­ ed citizens (James Dunlap), I heard first of his illness la Syria, just as I was taking the steamer for Alexan­ dria;, and from Egypt I shall always feel grateful that I found the time to write him' a letter of sympathy* and, as it proved of farewell, Few pleas­ ures have been more grateful to me than the thought that I have been since told that letter gave him pleas­ ure, (Applause). I am glad to meet here the present proprietor of these beautiful grounds (Hon. Andrew Jackson), and to go back, as his presence and name carry ifie back* to the days when he and I were young, and his father was the Brigadier General commanding the military forces of I think, half a doz­ en of the surrounding counties, In those days a Brigadier General was a very great man, and those of you who have never had the pleasure of know­ ing Robert Jackson, as I have known him, can form no idea of the great dignity he carried with him. N6w, gentlemen, I propose to throw myself absolutely upon your indul gonce. My chief regret is that I find here these omnipresent recorders of unimportant events, who are engeged a t this moment In chronicling, what impossible to press through, it being found necessary at length to form the people into lines in order to have any system of regularity. Reporters were present from all over the .country, including a repre­ sentative of the New York World. This was quite a surprise to Mr, Reid who had no idea that there was to be anything more than merely an infor- .mal reception, and who had made no preparations in the way of a speech. Nearly every old friend that greet­ ed him had some pleasant little speech prepared, and there were many happly little hits made. One old Dem­ ocrat said, “Well, the Republicans have the laugh now, but they that laugh loudest who laugh-last," Mr, Reid clapped him on the back and said, “Now Thomas, how about that cistern you once built for me?" There seem­ ed to be some tender reminacenco con­ nected with the cistern affair that caused the old fellow to be a little nonplussed, If Mr, and Mrs. Reid had accepted half of the hospitality offered them they could not have go through the long list short of a, year or two. There were people from all around, who had cither attended school with Whitelaw, or had been his pupils. Great, big strapping bearded fellows shook him by the hand (and it was noticable that Mr, Reid had to use hist left hand on account of a recent iwcideqt to his right hand) and told how they had snowballed him in younger days, and how Whitelaw had licked them for not having their lessons in algebra prop­ erly, Mr, Reid father had been a militia officer of considerable promi­ nence in his day, and there were niany men present who had served under him. There were cousins, and second cous­ ins and numerous other relatives who who had not seen Mr. Reid for twenty or more years, and in nearly every in­ stance he recognized them without much trouble. One old gentleman* told of how when a little boy, Whitelaw played around in his shop, and under the old work bench. Many old ladies who had been intimate friends of his parents for yenrs, and who had nursed him when he was a baby, shook him heartily by the hand* and with tears in her eyes gave' him their bles sing, There was not one word of politics in the whole affair* and though there were prominent and excellent speak­ ers, present* no one was called upon for remarks. J t was a geheral reunion of the people with a beloved son* in whoso prosperity they were all inter­ ested. When Mr. Blair, the editor of the village paper* was introduced* Mr. Reid greeted him warmly. Mr. Blair is a-member of the Typographical Union, and was strong in the fight a- gainst the New York Tribune, but was the prime mover in getting up the re­ ception, working constantly all the per regularly when in Paris, and saiv many items of interest concerning my old home town and my friends. I expect you have considerable up-hill work to run a paper in a small place like Cedarville, but undoubtedly you make more money than I did in run­ ning a newspaper in Xenia. Everybody was charmed with Mrs, Reid, who mingled socially with the many friends of her husband. Some of tiie villagers has expected a grand stately lady, who would have no feel­ ing in common with them, -and were most agreeably disappointed on.meet- ing her to find what a counterpart she was of her most excellent husband. At the conclusion of the reception, which lasted fully a couple of hours, Mr. and Mrs. Reid returned to their carriage, and were driven to the home of the aged mother, where they will remain over the Sabbath and until sometime Tuesday, when they will start for the East. The love and reverance of Mr. Reid for his venerable mother, who is now eighty-four years of age, is very touching indeed. Never the weather so cojd nor the business so urgent that he has not come as fast as cars could take him in response to any message announcing her illness, and out of his wealth he has beautified and remodel­ ed her home, the old family residence, into the finest in that section. When he; l:efe,'re[1 to .her in .his.short.speech, his eyes filled with tears, his voice trembled, and in every way showed his great affection for her. The old lady takes great pride, in her son*.arid is thoroughly wrapped up in hjm and his future. Mr, Reid will receive nearly^the en tire vote of Cedarville Township from all parties, as a compliment to their fellow townsmen, to a man, who, though he has gained prominence in the world, does not forget his old friends, but always glad to see them It is said that in his busiest days .when managing editor of the New York Tribune, and when “not at home” to some of the most influential men of the nation, . some old friends of his childhood, happening in New York and sending up his name, would be immed­ iately admitted for a half-hour chat. It seemed to ' do him good at such times to throw business worries to one side and for a few moments enjoy q talk about old times, “when you and I were young Maggie.” And several of these friends, who have received situations and aid - through him at times. A couple of gentlemen from Springfield endeavored to secure from Mr, Reir a promise that he-would ad­ dress them some time during the cam­ paign, but he informed them that he did not intend making long . and set speeches during the campaign, but said that if he could come West at some date to suit them he would like to take part with some other speak­ ers in a. meeting in tiiat city, but would promise a speech of a few min­ utes. All in all, it was a grand occasion, and the gentleman in whose honor the reception was held enjoyed it as much as did those who got it up. GREENE COUNTY . REAL ESTATE IS GIVEN NEW VALUE Greene County's real estate tax du­ plicate under the new appraisal will be $39,279,610, an increase of $3,973,- 740 over last year,, according to an annOunceent by James J, Curlett* county auditor. » The new realty valuations approv­ ed by the state board of tax appeals* show an average increase of 11.26 per cent, ranging from 8.42 per cent in Xenia to 32.82 per cent in Bath town­ ship. They are substantially higher in all districts, Xenia’s new tax dup­ licate was increased from $8,146*950 to $8,832,520. New construction in Bath town­ ship is responsible for the increase in that township. SGT. ROBERT RICHARDS GETS SILVER STAR FOR GALLANTRY PRESS -RADIO GIVEN CREDIT FOR RURAL AREA CHANGES “We must recognize that a great transformation has taken place in rural life,” President Ira D. Vayhin- ger of Cedarville College told the Greene County Ministerial Associa­ tion meeting held in Xenia, Monday, Mechanized methods have brought all about. Only 25 percent of the pop­ ulation of our lands today are farmers in occupation, Even 47 per cent of the people who reside in the rural areas are not engaged in rural work. Although they live in the country they are employed in nearby cities, Sur­ veys indicate that there are, on the av­ erage for every 300 people in the country, a single church, However .that does not mean' that the average of 300 attend every church, A large percentage do not go anywhere. “A modern farmer,” the speaker continued, “if he is to keep abreast of developments*, must possess the best education that can be obtained. The farmer today has become urban and the ancient walls between the city and the country have been broken down by the press, radio and mechanized trans­ portation,” / * President Vayhinger also told the group that Cedarville College is to conduct a training conference, for ministers of this area which top flight clerics of the nation will be on the teaching faculty. He stated that the largest enrollment permitted will be 50 of the clergy of this area who must be certified by church heads* The tentative date will be May 21 to 25* i 1945. The Greene County Ministerial Association will work with Cedarville College in the conference project. .The next meeting of the association has been set fob pec. 18 at the First Presbyterian Church* Xenia* witlii wives to be invited. Award of the Silver Star for gal­ lantry in action has been received by Master Sgt. .Robert Richards, son i f Mr. and Mrs. A. E.
