Member of Congress Beginning Wednesday ,of this week the .House o f Representatives will .start a series of informal three day recesses, to last through Easter and until the second week in April- The Senate is scheduled to continue ItB labors, and take only a short recess over Easter weekend, due to the fact that august body is about a menth be­ hind the House in Its legislative sched­ ule. Most House ..Members will take advantage of the recess period to vis­ it their :home districts and consult with constituents on legislative prob­ lems,'and public issues. Both the Senate and the House will have special committees investi­ gating the' whole food shortage prob­ lem, with hearings starting shortly, Such questions as available food* sup­ plies, production prospects, allotments to and .reserves held for the armed forces, Lend-Lease shipments, UNR- RA -food commitments, and the food supply situation and need in the var­ ious Allied and liberated countries, will be carefully gone into, according to committee announcements. During the next three months, April May and June—all eighteen year old Selective Service inductees • will be. assigned to the Army Ground Forces for Infantry replacement training, with the” exception of a few Specialists—and eighteen year old Specialists are few. In the meantime hundreds, of letters ‘from irate pa­ rents continue to flood Congressional * mail in protest against the sending of • so-many of the eighteen year-olds in- ’ to battle with only seventeen weeks, .or, less, of combat training. Army of­ ficials insist it is necessary to use these youngsters because of the shortage of Infantrymen — even tho there are already more than 8 million .men in.the U. S. Army. Attorney Morris JUee Declines Soiicitorship Village council met in special ses­ sion Tuesday -evening to consider the extension of the sanitary sewer on E. Xenia ave, as requested by several property owners. The sewer commit­ tee was given instructions to investi­ gate and secure estimates. Members Frame and Pickering of the Board of Public Affairs, met with council as this board has charge of the sewers after being installed. Attorney Morris D. Rice, Osborn, solicitor, appeared before council by.request to consider the appoint­ ment of a village ^solicitor. Smith,' McCallister and Gibney declined the appointment the first of the year .and several attorneys have been inter­ viewed- but there-has been -no .accept­ ances as yet. Mr.' Rice said he had to decline due to his other law practice and being solicitor for Osborn. GI STHDENT PLANFOR COLLEGE Fire; Destroys Shed At Reed Home The local fire department was call­ ed out about three o’clock Wednesday afternoon when fire was discovered in a shed at the rear of the home of Mrs. Lester Reed on .Chillicothe st. vVhen discovered the interior .was a nass of flames, and soon reached the rear of the house but the department ,vas able to save the home. An au­ tomobile standing near-the shed took dre and the interior was gutted.* No particular reason can be given as to .the origin of the fire. The shed ■vas a complete loss. Times To Clean Up For Fire Protection Cedarville College has received ap­ proval of the state department of ed­ ucation to participate fully in the GI educational/plan, according to a com­ munication received from C. M. Black- well, jDayton, chief of the vocational rehabilitation and educational divi­ sion, according to an announcement this week by President Ira D. Vay­ hinger, The President points out that, un­ der this plan, a t least 90 days service is required for a veteran of the a rn t ed forces to participate. The veteran participating in the G I program- of education as government expense will be given a year plus the length of the time actually spent in the service. President Vayhinger says that full plans are going forward to take care of the needs of service men under the provisions of the G I bill. He points out also that the program starts im­ mediately for any - of the personnel who have been honorably discharged. D, A. R. Meets With . . + Mrs. J. Mac Harris While draft inductions will prob­ ably remain high for the next two or three-months, they are expected to decline rapidly after Germany falls, with the possibility that jnonthly quo­ tas for replacement purposes during the Iast'half.of the year will be filled, almost entirely from inductees who become eighteen years of age. No one knows, of course, when the war in Europe will end, but even the most pessimistic predict the struggle can­ not possibly last longer than July 1st,, while qualified observers are estimat­ ing the end of hostilities will come anytime within the next four to eight weeks. & r V w ill ,t con- ''erica. X tf you )?. M . i t!U ff Major General Robert S. Beightler, commanding Ohio’s famous 37th Div­ ision which led the way in liberating .Manila, Was a recent diriner host at 37th Division and Headquarters, in the Philippines, to a number of his-fellow Ohioans who were recently liberated from Japanese prison, camps. Inci- dently, General Beightler’s son, a young officer, was one of the para­ troopers making the jump to liberate Americans in the infamous Los Ba­ nos Prison Camp deep in Japanese territory—one of the most daring ac- ■complishments of the Luzon Cam- .paign. Residents of the 7th District •take a special pride in the three “na­ tive son” Generals—Major General Beightler. who was born and reared in Marysville; • Lieutenant General Eiehlberger from Urbana; and Major General Harding of Franklin, All three, through their deeds, have writ­ ten their names indelibly and high on the nation’s Roll of Honor, The Ways and Means Committee of the House voted last week to begin a thorough end comprehensive study . and investigation of the present Social Security program, its rates and cov­ erage, and the various proposals now pending before Congress for its, ex­ pansion to cover groups and classes of citizens not coming under the pres­ ent, law. Using the experience .of the past seven years—during which the Social Security System has been in operation—as a basis, an attempt Will be made to fix a permenant tax rate or charge for the maintenance of the System, thus doing away with the annual.controversy in Cougress as to whether the Social Security tax rate should be increased or retrain at the present figure, The President’s nomination of Au­ brey Williams to serve as head of the Rural Electrification Administration was rejected by the Senate last week by a vote of 62 to 36 after one of the longest And most stormy debates of recent years. Williams, who was for­ merly head of the National Youth Ad­ ministration, has long been known for (C ontinuxd o n P ack Fora), The public should take, time to give jutbuildings and sheds a complete Meaning of rubbish, old papers and -rash. In many back yards there has accumulated considerable trash of an .nflamable character. Not so far from one of our church­ es is an old shed with a great quan­ tity of old paper and trash that could easily ignite from combustion. Should fire break out as sudden as what hap­ pened Wednesday afternoon a valu­ able art .window could >not be saved especially if the wind was from the north or north-west. Now is the time to campaign for a cleanup in the village.

On April 1, 1878 there was an event on West Xenia ave., the birth­ place of a Cedarvillian on what is now the property of C. E. Masters. The original house was a one story and it was raised shortly after Samuel Trunl ill purchased what is now the home of Mr. Masters. While we have little or no knowledge of what all, went on to make up the life of the village a t that time we have heard from our ciders. For instance another blessed event had taken place direct­ ly across the street the March pre­ vious. Today this youngster of yes­ terday, though not as old as he might appear, spends his days in quietude and with the companionship of his sister, Then came the month of May and a daughter, was born to*a couple, their first, on what is now the bank of the small lake that was formed in the abandoned quarry, This estimable lady is now a resident of a suburb of Cleveland. In those days the homes were no doubt modest without the modern day conveniences and no one had dreamed of the present mod ern maturnity ward of our hospitals of today. A well respected colored woman of her day, Mrs. Montaque, was the mid-wife that journeyed from the one home to the other on her mis­ sion where today a trained nurse is a t the side of the physician. Sixty- seven years and yet the road has not seemed so long a t that—but much shorter as the years approach, ALONG FARM FRONT E. A. Drake, Co.

FORUM DISCUSSES BANG’S DISEASE CONTROL— Proposed legislation which will en­ able dairymen to control Bang’s Di­ sease was discussed by Dr. A. J. De- Fosset of Columbus to more than 75 Farm Forum members Monday even­ ing. .Changes requested in the- pres­ ent Ohio law include legalizing ap­ propriations of county funds to aid ,in the’ disease control campaign, changes in requirements for branding infected cattle, and the making of in­ demnity payments on cattle which had been vaccinated before they were eight months old. The proposed program would be carried out on the area plan with all cattle being tested. - Diseased animals would be slaughtered and calves in- diseased herds vaccinated before they were eight months old. Under the present hit and miss plan more than two and one half million cattle have been tested in Ohio • since 1934.

Faw­ cett reports the largest collection of taxes lo r the period in recent years. Payments on real estate and special assessments fo r the first half of 1944 amounted to $381,439.72. The total, included $44,929.90 on the second -half 1944 assessments,' .representing 11.1 percent of the June charge. Many taxpayers paid their .taxes for the. entire year instead of six months. The current charge ton real .estate for -the first half of the year .was $314,788.16 and 98.6 .percent .was col­ lected,-leaving 44,452.64 .unpaid when the collection period expired Out­ standing tax- delinquency was cut from. $24,252.0.4 to $13,969.17^ probab­ ly the lowest in twenty-five years. The charge for special asseess- ments including the current assess­ ments and delinquency, was $18,- 599.72 and all but $6,321.64 was paid. The sale o f delinquent property in the county was announced this week by County Auditor James J. Curlett and was rather a short list. There was no real estate advertised for the village or township and -only a few items for personal delinquency. Poultry Prices Get Get Boost Of IVac lb. Poultry prices are to be increased 1 1-2 c a pound according to OPA. It became necessary to offer some in­ ducement to get more people to get back in the poultry game. The in­ crease may co^er part of the increas­ ed cost of production to those- who do a big business but will not hardly compensate a- small poultry grower. The cost of feed is still a big item in growing poultry. While there are many chickens in the couhtry this is the laying season and few hens will go to market until the setting season is over and-moulting starts. Like hog feeders the poultry grower was tricked last year by the New Deal and many reduced their flocks. v The proposed iricrease of 1 l-2c per pound on poultry should be a lesson to hQg feeders. Fearer hogs on the market arid the OPA will be forced to increase the ceiling price just as has been done with poultry. The subsidy paid to packers doeB not put one cent more in the farmers pocket. - CHURCHES-PLAN SPECIAL. EASTER SERVICES FOR ALL FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. Paul Elliott, -Minister 10 A, M.

Pattee, repatriated United States missionary who return­ ed on the Gripsholm from North Chi­ na where he had been interned by the Japs, had an interesting experience to relate before a good crowd a t the Church ,of the Nazarene, Monday evening. * He said during his six years in Chi­ na he had the experience of conduct­ ing a service in a church while the Japanese shells ripped off parts of the roof. He referred to some of the horrible atrocities against Chinese citizens. There were many instances he said where victims were half:mu­ tilated -and then buried alive. As to his own arrest and internment he said they looted his church and carried away what they wanted and distributed the things among the Japanese soldiers, As for himself, he said he was not mistreated in prison and that he had enough to eat. Yet there many less fortunate. He received no -mail while in prison and never knew what moment he was to be taken out and executed. One of the Chinese preachers was given the horrible water torture. Rev Pattee says he has signed up and is ready to return to his mission field just as soon as the war is over.

Deferment For Union Leaders; Not Farmers Farmers are much concerned about the continued drafting of needed farm boys right.as a time when there is so much spring work at hand. When the President of the United States writes a blanket order for deferment of la­ bor union organizers as necessary in the war effort and thstt scores of mo­ tion picture and radip -artists are de- fered, as necessary at home, we see little reason why a farmer should be concerned about feeding the world. It was only a few days ago you were ordered to do less eatingsa t home that others could eat more * The “tighten your belt’ ’statement was not off the air until England had two high-up officials in the air on the way here to protest a cut in lend- lease on meats. While farm boys are drafted Judge Mel Underweed Dem., U. S. District Court, protest the release of draft evaders sent to prison or conscientious objectors being released to return home in some instances six weeks af­ ter being sent over. Judge Under­ wood has complained to the Depart­ ment of Justice but gets no action. He is only barking up the wrong tree, The Department of Justice is un­ der the wing of the Communists, Hill­ man, Browder etc, Things must be bad when a Demo­ cratic judge, a former congressman, complains of what is taking place in his own political party. He may get a note from 1600 Pennsylvania ave. requesting his resignating as being unpatriotic and thwarting the war ef­ fort.* Canning Sugar ToOBe Ready, April 15 Canning sugar applications *will be available after April 16, according to the OPA, Housewives will get all of their honte cannirig sugar by applying to their local boards.
