WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J. BROWN Member o f Congress. In his address to the Joint Session "of Congress in the House' Chamber last Thursday, in which he made a partial report on the Yalta Confer- ference, President Roosevelt was in reality speaking more, to the millions o f people who were -listening in on their radios than he was to the na tional legislators, The speech was undoubtedly, prepared and delivered as the opening gun in the President’s campaign to gain support and ap proval, not only o f the Congress, but o f the majority of the American people as well, fo r his diplomatic pol icies, and the peace treaty and post war program he will later submit to the Senate and the nation. The speech gave Members o f Congress but little information they did not already have. There was much the President left unsaid, for he frankly told his listeners there were matters discussed and agreements at Yalta which he could not or would not reveal at this ■' time. He pointed out that some of the final decisions reached at the con ference were, of necessity, compro mises; and he seemed to especially refer to the matter of Poland, stating ALONG FARM FRONT NATIONAL 1-H CLUB WOJiK _ . March 3-10 has been designated as National 4-H club week. Programs are being planned on the National, State and County level to infoi-m folks o f the importance of the oppor tunities in 4-H dub work. The pro gram will be built around the theme “ Head, Heart,. Hand, and Health for Victory.” Greene county’s 33 dubs under the leadership of 60 advisors are now holding their reorgination meetings and making plans for the coming, year .Last year more than: 500 boys and .girls were members o f the county 4-H Clubs.- A summary o f their activities makes an impressive picture of the work these youth have done in food production and preservation. It in cludes almost every project found on our farms and homes as well i as im portant wartime programs such as metal, tin, paper, rubber, rags and fat and salvage the harvesting of milk weed pods for life saving jackets. POULTRYMEN TO DISCUSS EGG AUCTION— D. D. Meyer, extension poultry specialist of Ohio State University, CONG. GARDNER ;CHARGES GRAFTING BY OPA EMPLOYEES Cong. Edward J. Gardner, Dem., Hamilton, charges petty grafting a- mong employees in the agency’s Cin cinnati District (not Greene county), in a speech before the House last Thursday. . He informed the House he had in his files definite evidence .o f petty grafting on the part of board em ployes, condoned by members of the rationing board and supported by su pervisory officials in the district. Gardner also charged discrimina tory enforcement procedures which have led to a complete reversal of the volume of business enjoyed by firms which were in business during base periods as compared with those firms which were not in business during the base periods but came into existence during the so-called rationing periods. Charges of conspiracy were made against officials when he endeavored to have matters adjusted, in the en forcement division and the hearing commissioners division. Cong. Gardner should look into the policy, if it is a policy, where alleged violator's are taken up, and later have someone' tip the violator that he can settle for less by getting a Demo- that neither he, Stalin nor Churchill- county poultry .committee headed by will meet with poultrymen of Greene'J cratic attorney to represent him be- County Friday evening, March 23, a t ' for the self-styled court within the 3:00 o'clock at the Court House As-I OPA political ring.

All in all, the President’s address was ef fective and made a generally good im pression—not because of his delivery, for it was below his usual standard— but rather because the flippancy and the .wise-cracking, the apparent dis regard and intolerances before Con gress, were missing last' Thursday.

TURN CHEMICALS INTO WARTIME FOOD— Congress To Probe Fertility Book The House last week officially re buked the administration, and Gener al Hershey, of the Selective Service System, for what the national legisla tors openly branded as evasion, cir cumvention or misrepresentation b f the Tydings Amendment to. the Selec tive Service A ct deferring farm work ers, by passing the Flannagan Bill by a heavy majority. Ib is measure simply reiterates and strengthens the Tydings Amendment by providing no test shall be made, in determining a registrant’s right to deferment as a farm worker tinder the law, other than his essentiality in agriculture. A- similar provision has been written Into the "Work-or-Jail Bill in the Senate. If either of these measures becomes law the present heavy draft ing o f essential farm workers will be brought to an abrupt halt.

Xenia Twp. $1,196,93. Xenia City, $20,846.06, With the 32nd anniversary of the Dayton flood due this month, Ohio faced a costly 'flood in most parts of the state which started, with inces-. sant rains Monday and continuing all night until Tuesday. The rainfall was placed at 3.15 inches in this sec- > tion with more in other parts of, the state. Locally ail streams were soon out o f their banks and- lowlands flooded as had not been witnessed since 1937. While the-rain fall for the past year was below normal, the ground was well filled with water after the win ter snows and the heavy rain this week brought high water in streams. In as much as farmers have not been able to get corn husked in shock and o ff the stock,- the loss to fodder, which is badly needed for feed, will be the greatest. What damage there is to wheat ,under water cannot be es timated at this time. . Locally but one home was touched with the water,- that of Ernest Wil liams, located near a branch that runs under Route 42 at Bakertown. Back water from Massies Creek surrounded the •house and was on the first floor. ■ Scores of cellars in town'and coun try soon became cisterns and many there were that could not have furn ace heat. It was necessary to discontinue col lege Wednesday due to the water in the basement. In some instances pu pils in rural sections were unable .to reach school and in many cities and towns schools had to close for a day.' Many complaints have ‘ been heard locally over the use of the village fir e ' equipment- to pump private cellars when many other homes were without heat due to water over the firebox of furnaces. Councilman Walter Cum mings, chairman of the fire committee, states that no authority was given- anyone to take out equipment and use it to pump basements. Cincinnati and Portsmouth,' as well as. other Ohio river cities and towns, suffered heavy damage from the ris ing water of the swollen- Ohio. At Cincinnati the water reached 69.2 feet when 52 feet was regarded flood stage. The water reached 89 feet'in 1937, the highest on record. • Fayette Co.
