Dur­ ing the past few days our country has been going through its darkest hours since Pearl Harbor. More American boys have died in battle than dining any other like period o f time in the nation’s history . Yet those who re­ main will achieve the final'victory, hard won as it may be. While war censorship, some o f which seems un­ necessary, holds back much informa­ tion, we believe a middle course be­ tween pessimism and optimism, as to the war in Europe, is the best. The German offensive o f the past ten days will undoubtedly extend the war into the late Winter at least. Yet its very wastefulness of manpower and mat­ eriel may result in a sudden and quick ending of the struggle once the Allied . gainst Ralph Windmiller has been dis- { Armies can counterattack.

This price will be supported by purchase from dealers upon certification that they in turn have paid producers no less than the support price of 27 cents for can- died eggs. By candied eggs is meant that the eggs are sound and edible. , In areas where candling facilities or marketing facilities are not available for the purchase of candled eggs from producers, then the minimum producer price will bis 24 cents, per dozen, for straight.run eggs. It is the objective o f Wav Food Administration to dis­ courage the 24 cents straight run price as much as possible and this opportun­ ity will hot be offered except in emer­ gency. mitted by the President and his ad­ ministration. It rebuked the President On two occasions by enacting legisla­ tion over his veto, and insisted upon enacting other measures notwith­ standing the opposition o f the Admin­ istration. It investigated and correct­ ed numerous administrative abuses, and restricted and limited bureaucrat­ ic activities in many fields. While the 78th Congress did not live up to its every responsibility, or take advan­ tage o f its every opportunity to be'of service to the nation, as a whole it was a good Congress.

Rain most of the day melted much of the snow but by nightfall we had a new covering only to be followed Tuesday with rain, sleet and ice. - Wednesday morning was the most freakish of the week. The mer­ cury most of Tuesday night stood a- round eight above, Snow„ feel for a short time and then it turned to rain for several hours and next to sleet. The fact it snowed and then ra;ned was said to be due to warm upper cur­ rents o f air with a lower temperature near the* earth due to ice and snow. Of course there was mo school ’dur­ ing holiday week but almost all forms of transportation were tied up by late Tuesday and Wednesday. Farmers had trouble getting about due to the ice and city and town folks could not do any different. By Wednesday after­ noon all bus transportation had been discontinued and many there -were that had trouble getting back home after holiday visits. There was no mail Wednesday evening due to the condition o f the highways. Local RFD men made the trip Wednesday but un­ der difficulties. The Highway Department, short on equipment and man power managed to get cinders at the worst places on the main highways. This material is how becoming an item as the surplus has been used up the past two weeks. Both county and township officials did the best they could, for there is not much to be done to clear ice from a road or even city streets. RAYMOND S. BULL MOVES TO BEARD FARM, FLETCHER C. Raymond S.

Local Flier Promoted To Rank Flight Officer Jack Brewer Joins U. S. Naval Reserves imal'husbandry specialist, O. S. U., declares that the recent phenomenon whereby the U. S, public made a moun tain o f beef into a molehill o f scarcity should be rated as one o f the modern world wonders. McCann says the books at licensed slaughtering plants in this, nation prove that 22 per cent more bee# was processed in these plants in the first 10 months o f 1944 than in the same months o f 1943. The amount o f beef slaughtered in 1943 also was above the average amount used in past years in the U,.B„ so the public should not search around farms, ranches or pack­ ing plants for evidence o f evaporated beef. Considerable public comment; has ' been aroused about black market op­ erations in beef, and there have been some requests-that ceiling prices be placed on live cattle, McCann has the opinion that the public would hot get much benefit from imposition o f thdse . ceiling prices on animals, but he sug­ gests that farmers be given more in­ centive to feed cattle t o be heavier weights and to a better finish, ' Cattle numbers on fprms reached- aii all-time high Jan. 1, 1944, but heavy slaughterings probably have caused some decrease in numbers. The beef cattle population cannot be built- up as rapidly as the number of. hogs, so extra beef for 1945 can be obtain­ ed more easily, from turning grain into meat than by. expanding herds.. The university livestock specialist says any lowering of live cattle prices how will result in increased marketing o f unfinished cattle and the conse­ quent production o f the poorer grades o f beef.. Some improvement in the feed situation recently will encourage cattle feeding if there is no tampering with the price of live cattle.
