BROWN Member of Congress Congressional committees are busy . conducting hearings on the recom- wendations made by the President, in his message to Congress on the State o f the Union, for the enactment o f legislation to compel 4-Fers to take war jobs, to draft nurses, and .to con­ script labor generally to assure full production o f .war goods. However, - many difficulties are being encounter* ed. The armed services already have the light to induct 4-F registrants for ^ ^ > - ^ lim it e d service, and claim they have more ,limited service personnel now than they need. If 4-F’ers arenot to be takne by the army, and all labor is to be copscripted, then no specihl leg­ islation would be needed to force draft tejectes into war industries. In any event the penalties attachd to any compulsory war work legislation will be civil in nature rather than military. That a real shortage o f nurses in the armed services exist cannot be qustioned. More than a year ago the Congress moved to meet this nurse shortage by establishing a Nurses' Cadet Training Program, which will soon begin to supply needed nurses to the Army, Navy and Veteran Admin­ istration. However, in the meantime, with a dire shortage o f nurses esist- ing, male nurses complain the Army and Navy continue to refuse to use them; While discharged, veterans, who wish to help their wounded “ bud­ dies” rehabilitate themselves, are find­ ing it difficult to gain the opportunity to do so. Ifc is quite possible some method may be found to solve the nurse shortage without resorting to. the draft. Americans are not very en­ thusiastic over conscripting women fo r any sort o f public duty. Greene County May Get Lake Near Alpha Greene county may be the site for one of eight proposed lakes in Ohio for recreational purposes, approved last week by the state division of con­ servation .and natural resources com­ mission for which the state legislature soon will bo asked to appropriate $2,- 000,000 as a postwar project. . The proposed lake would be located in Beavercreek township, two miles north o f Alpha, near the junction- of Beaver creek and the Little Miami river. The lake, as proposed, would be four miles long and one-half mile wide and from 1,000 to 2,000 acres o f land would be flooded. The legisla­ ture will be asked to appropriate $300 000 for the project including $150,- 000 for purchase o f the land and $150- 000 for construction necessary to im­ pound the-water. It would be stocked with fish and would be available for fishing and swimming. The Greene County Fish and Game association has been working for some time to obtain such a lake in this county to relieve a serious falling o,ff of the water level in this area. Lowell Fess, state representative, and a member o f the committee on water conservation named recently by the county fish and game association, is working on the project and presented the proposal to' the state conservation commission last week. ■ The President was not ah all clear, in his Message to Congress, as to what Coal Dealers Meet OPA On Price Fixing Scale An opportunity to'present data in support o f ‘a proposed classification of Greene county as “ emergency terri­ tory,” paving the way for dealers to increase their handling prices of coal, will be given .the newly-formed Retail Solid Fuel Dealers association in the county. Procedure to be followed was out- fined by Edward Murray,-Cincinnati, economist fo r the Cincinnati OPA dis­ trict, who met with the local group on EDWARD H . NISBET DIED SUNDAY IN INDIANAPOLIS Word has been received here o f the death Sunday morning o f Ed .H Nis- bet, 72, who died at 1:30 at his home 421 West 39th., Indianapolis, The deceased was the son o f James Harvey and Belle F. Nisbet, and was a native of this place. He was born in the family residence where the First Presbyterian Church is located at Main and Cedar sts. The deceased followed the profes­ sion o f his father, as an interior dec­ orator fo r many years and later be­ came a sales representative of differ­ ent manufactures of wall paper. He was the third of five children and is survived by his wife, Agnes, and two brothers, Charles Nesbit of Loveland and J. Emerson Nisbet, city editor of the Dayton Daily News. He was a brother of the late Wilbur D. Nisbet, once famous poet and writer of plays and fiction. The funeral was held from the Flan- ner and Buchanan funeral home. In­ dianapolis, Wednesday afternoon. Bur­ ial took place in that city. Mr. Nisbet left Cedarville more than 45 years ago yet usually found pleasure in stop- liere for a day now and’ then on his; tours in this part of the state. A tt. General Biddle Cancels Date For Retail r „ ' Lumber Convention plan he favors to conscript labor. It M° nday evenin^ at courthouse will be remembered that two years ago the President made the same sug­ gestion fo r drafting o f civilian woj-k- but surrounded his request with *ers; so many impossible provisions as to practically prohibit the enactment o f any satisfactory legislation-The same situation may rise again, and many observers believe there is little likeli­ hood that, in the end, any law for the general conscription o f labor -will be enacted. As a result of military reserves and exceptionally heavy casualties, the War and Navy Departments are call­ i n g fo r a quick step-up in the draft­ ing o f men into the armed forces, Ap­ proximately nine hundred thous­ and maore Americans will be called for military within the next six months; “While.officials estimate six hundred thousand more civilian workers will be needed. Secretary o f War Stimson predicts that practically all physically qualified men under the age p f thirty wil) he called to the colors during the next year. At the present time the United States has approximately 11 million men under arms, The nation ' is engaged |ii fighting two full-sizQed wars, Americans are doing practically all o t the fighting in the Pacific area, and make up seventy percent o f the fighting units facing Hitlers hordes on th f Western and Italian fronts. As a result o f the recent Presiden­ tial order fo r Selective Service boards to re-examine all agrictujtural defer­ ments, especially in the eighteen to twenty-five age brackets, most people believe all youthful farmers are soon to be drafted. However, the Tydings Amendment to the Selective Service A ct still remains the law o f the land and local Draft Boards have full au thority, as well as the legal responsi­ bility, to defer from military service ppseptia} agricultural workers wH° cannot be replaced without food pro ductjdn suffering. It should be remem bered It Is the local Selective Service Boards who have the real authority and discretionary power to pass upon the question o f essentiality o f farm workers, notwithstanding the pressure which is being put on thorn from State and Federal officials to furnish more and more men to the armed forces The meeting was one in a series to be planned after a number of coal dealers in southwestern Ohio were sued recently by the OPA for treble charges fo r overcharging prices on j } coal. The local association will bp requir cd, Murray said, to present in writing the conditions prevalent here before the OPA will determine whether, this county is entitled to an “ emergency” , 1rating. Walter Winchell Sunday night re­ ported in his broadcast that United States Attorney General Francis J. Biddle had cancelled his scheduled ad­ dress before^the lumbermen in conven­ tion at Columbus Feb. 2, partly be­ cause Upton Close, former radio com­ mentator and administration critic, would be on program. Findlay M. Tor­ rence, Xenia, secretary of the Ohio Association of Retail Lumber Dealers lias confirmed the Winchell story, he being the official radio mouthpiece for the New Deal administration. Upton Close is a bitter foe o f Com­ munists and he recently was put o ff .he air on the National chain after the American Reds protested and probably could' have closed the entire National System. Close will be on the lumber­ mens convention program as billed. > Biddle was,to speak on "The Future of the American Business Men in Post war Years.” Biddle recently faced scandal when B . wmmiHiiwHttmmMiwmtmMMMHHtnumiuwwmmwum ALONG FARM FRONT E.

At that time there was sogie doubt a- bout the-need for a full scale victory garden program in 1945. This gave rise to rumors that the Government had lost interest in Victory Gardens.

DAIRY FEED PAYMENTS— Dairy feed payment rates for Nov. and December 1944, and for Jan., Feb. and March 1945 will be 70c per hun- drew weight.for milk or 11 cents a pound fo r butterfat.. Applications for payments covering the first two months must be filed at the AAA of­ fice before March 1, and applications for the last three months may be made within 60 days after March 31. SEED SAMPLES TESTED FREE— Afi seed sample to be tested for ger­ mination and purity should be mailed to the State Seed Laboratory, 713 State Office Bldg, Columbus, The lab­ oratory is authorized by law to make germination and purity tests of agri­ cultural and vegetable seeds under the provisions of the state seed law. A limited number o f sa’mples will be tested free of charge and a small charge will be made for additional samples sent in at any given time by any person, firm or corporation. WINTER PRUNN1NG OF APPLE TREES Heavy pruning o f apple trees should be delayed Until late winter or early spring in order to avoid winter injury. In order that labor may be used to good advantage during' winter monthis water sprouts. and dead or broken branches may be removed. Where only fight pinning is required this can be done as time permits. . It is Wise to remove some small branches, particularly water sprouts from young trees early in the winter so that these branches may serve as protection against rabbit injury. Rab­ bits Wifi often peal the bark from the branches freshly cut and leave the trunks of trees uninjured. m ersandh eh a s also arr* ^ the lime kilns previous to SEE NO DECREASE IN FOOD NEEDS— Food requirements in 1945 will be about the same as for 1944 and this years food production goals are set accordingly. While farmers o f the nation have had generally favorable weather for the war. years, Ohio weather in 1944 was not so good for crop production as in other sections. More efficient use of fertilizer,' seed, machinery and labor enabled farmers to greatly increase the amount o f food produced per worker, the average farm workers output last year twice that of the worker in 1910. The total productive capacity o f U. S. farms after the war will be 30 percent greater than the average in 1936-39, Dr. William Tilford Died Friday Night A t His Oakley Home The funeral fo r Dr. William H.

The summer drouth sent the water level in this section of Ohio to a new level, much lower .than ever known before.

There will be more than enough o f some foods and a lim­ ited supply of others Dairy products will he short, especially such manufac­ tured types as butter and cheese, al­ though total milk production will be 15 per cent greater than the 1935-39 average Less meat will be available for civil­ ian consumption will be due to lower pork production; there will be a little more beef than in 1944 The civilian meat supply will be'about 130 to 135 pounds pir person, 10 or 15 pounds less than Inst year.

MOTHER SERVICEMAH 2ndTOADOG Feedlot Loss Held Sure For Cattle Under New_ Deal Price Ceiling Arnold Erickson, market specialist and live stock analyist, says the OPA ceiling price on five cattle will reduce the output of top grade steers when the plan goes into effect January 29. The business of feeding steers up to the prime beef that price planners condemn as too expensive to pro­ duce in war times, always full of un­ certain loss for the farmer who re­ mains in this business, the experts on live stock feeds and veteran owners of cornbeltfeed lots are agreed. The costs of producing such cattle run well above the 18 cents a pound OPA limit. Not many loads are likely to reach the $18 a hundred pounds level because OPA lawyers have been ! men had ordered, to draw up regulations that death of make it a violation for any packer to exceed, a $17 monthly average for choice grades. Heretofore monthly ranges were under WFA- jurisdiction and packers suffered only a subsidy loss for paying more. The government is determined to force farmers unload feed lot cattle be­ fore they reach prime condition by re­ ducing the ceiling to $17.50 on July 2, and by cutting the $17 monthly aver­ age for choice grades to $16.50. It takes longer than five or six months to make prime beef. Consequently short- fed and near-good steers arc expected to command a .larger share o f slaugh- tr supplies. Chicago buyers last week paid a 15c lower average price of $14.35 for steers, and a top o f $17.40, the lowest since last May and the lowest average since he summer of 1942. Herald First Paper To Pub­ lish Roosevelt Dog Story Only To Be Followed by Broadcast­ ers Lowell Thomas and Fulton Lewis Jr. Five Days Later.

Wednesday when at least three daily papers in this section had knowledge o f the story but for reasons best known to themselves, o r , in deference to the civilian command­ er-in-chief,. buried the report rather than keep their readers fully informed as to how public affairs operate under New Deal dictatorship.

A number of conventions, booked have been cancelled in Ohio as elsewhere. This is the 50th anniversary o f the Buckeye Press Association and a pro- l*ram in keeping of the event had been arranged. The Newspaper Show will be dropped although papers now in the hands o f the judges will be graded and reports made public as to winners at a later date.

It so happens from events as we connect them that this is the same dog that'caused a young service man. to forfeit his seat on a plane at Osborn last Wednesday. This story we relat­ ed in our last issue. Both Lowell Thomas and Fulton Lewis ■gave the Memphis story to the public Wednes­ day evening. According to Lewis the War Department had no comment to . make other than a priority had been given for a dog but would not .com­ ment on whose dog it was or that a service man had been ejected from a plane to “ lighten the load” . • When the x-oyal family is at stake under a dictatorship such as the New Deal you have no assurance but what your son is-being sacrificed even on the battle front if .need be to make secure some favorite. That is what you voted for (if you voted for the Fourth term) on Nov. 7th and that is. what you .are getting today and what you will continue to get until Congress shows enough in­ testinal fortitude to institute impeach­ ment proceedings against New Deal leaders that continue to debauch not only our men in uniform but civilians as well. The fellow that voted New Deal way now has a stricken con­ science even when facing a dog. Mean­ time your son in service face 'Hitler in Europe or a Jap in the Pacific, the latter being armed with lead and steci sold by this nation, with New Deal approval, even over the protest of the then Secretary o f State, Cordell Hull. The “A -l” dog priority marks a new page in American history. No other war ever recorded such an event.- No other war .was ever prosecuted in the name of democracy for world politics. C. 0 .
