AauricaM For America —America For Americana a p SKTT-EIGHTH YEAR No, 21 CEDARVEiLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, l&IS HArrENiNCS flt WASHINGTON By CLARENCE J , BROWN Member of Congress Now that; President Roosevelt hsa mn la id to rest a t bis beloved Hyde Arlc, the nation, which still mourns bis passing, turns to his successor, Harry S. Truman of Missouri, the thirty-second President- of the United Stati»> President Truman, who has announced he will carry on the poli­ cies of his predecessor, .will receive the united support of the Congress and the nation in Ms conduct of our wars and his endeavors to bring ; bout a just and lasting peace. ALONGFARMFRONT E. A. Drake, Co. Agricultural Agent On every hand the question is be­ ing asked: What kind of a President will .Harry S. Truman make? Of - course only time can tell; bu t there is a general feeling here on Capitol Hill that the new President will measure up- to his responsibilities. Members of Congress know Mm well from his service in the Senate. He is a quiet, unassuming man, modest And humble in -his realization of the task and re­ sponsibilities which are his. A sup­ porter of President Roosevelt during his service in the Senate, Mr. Truman is a conservative of the Southern school. While he will undoubtedly endeavor to hold>■!the support of all factions of his party, and is expected to be a “middle of the road” Presi­ dent, most of his friends on Capital Hill believe he will lean to the 'Right* rather than to the ‘Left*. Although Mr. Truman, soon after assuming the Presidency, requested the Roosevelt - Cabinet and other key appointees to continue in service, it is believed here many of the close advisers of the for­ mer President, Such as Harry Hop­ kins,,. .Judge Roseman and Judge Felix Frankfurter,'will drop from the Rational pblitical scene witMn the tiext few months, and that the same period of time will see a number of changes in the Cabinet. As Chair­ man of-the Truman Committee of the ,Senate, which investigated' many war . activities, MriTruman demonstrated - executive ability, good judgment, and honesty .of purpose. He surrounded himself With capable and 1conscien­ tious assistants who, under'his guid­ ance,, performed an outstanding ser­ vice fo r the country. Former Senator and‘Justice James F. Byrnes, who re­ cently resigned as Director of War ' Mobilization, has returned to Wash­ ington. Hb has long been a close - friend of the new President and is ex­ pected'to become one of M b closest aides- and advisors. Food shortages, especially in meat, / continued to receive the attention of •congress last week, where, oh the Senate-side Of the Capitol, QPA offi­ cials were under fire before the Food Investigating Committee. When Thomas I. Emerson, youthful New General Counsel for the OPA denied afiy->real black, market in meats ex­ ists, Senators Wherry artd Wheeler Cited-numerous cases and charged Emerson with failing or refusing to prosecute participants in national black market in rings. Indignant Member* of the -Senate Committee have- called -for- a complete shake-up o f OPA. Emerson, a 34-year old ■Harvard Graduate, knttwn as a pro- ' tege of Felex Frankfurter, and who had admitted during the Senate Hearing, he had never questioned a witness or had legal experience out­ side of public office, has resigned from OPA and will become counsel fo r the new Director of Economic Stabiliser, William H . Dsfvis. Other OPA eWeftiana are scheduled to leave public service soon, and many predict Chester Bowles, OPA Administrator, wil be stepping out before long, ^ Senator. ThomAi, Chairmen of the Senate Agriculture.Committee, has Ah*«gwl OPA practices and price ceil­ ings hare driven many small packers out of business. The Senator also roadly insinuated there are those t t /PA who are desirous of seeing the meat hu«!ness fall under the control of a few large packing concerns, Which in tart* will be. designated as public Utilities and made subject to rigid governmental control—thus tak­ ing one more Step toward making over into a serialised state. In the meantime mounting evidence-that hog And pork production Will b# off ap­ proximately fo rty percent tills year-- and perhaps moT*-—has caused the Government to raise its support price for hogs from the present price of $12.S0 per hundred to $ 12 . 00 , to be continued until' October, 1040, in or- der to'increase she production of pork pear and;-neat, Itewever n« every practical farmer know*, hog* cannot be produced overnight, and a great shortage of pork during the next tttg v t ateitiftm ft* least* spg**** FM tote? FORUM TO DISCUSS INCREAS­ ING CROP YIELDS— “Agronomic Practices That Boost Yields” will be discussed -by Dr. D, F. Beard of Ohio State University a t the Farm Forum Monday evening, April 23, a t 7:1(5 a t Geyer’a. Manpower and macMnery shortage demands that maximum acre yields be secured if the needed crop production is secur­ ed. Mr. Beard will discuss possible in­ creases in yields of crops through the Use. of improved crop varieties, heav­ ier application of fertilizers, increas­ ing the planting rates of com, plow down fertilization, and water conser­ vation.

UtoSfctttertofy Does any person know the dog pop­ ulation in Greene county?One way to guess, is to know that, some -2,000 dog tags have been sold through the of­ fice o f the County Auditor, James J. Curlett. The sale has been so unnsual the Auditor has had to' have, extra application blanks printed twice and additional orders.for tags sold by the state. The county commissioners have had two dog wardens making a house to house canvass to list all the dogs. The expiration date was .up Jan. 20 and of coarse an extra penalty is now collected on each tag sold. The war­ dens are turning in around 20 new applications a day and the canvass has not been completed. Some pre­ dict the sale of tags may reach 2,500 by the time the canvass is completed. The fire department was called to the home of Mr. Wm. Conley about 8:80 A. M. Thursday morning when a fire was ’discovered in the roof^pf the residence. I t had made good head­ way when the fire alarm was turned in by a mechanic working on a truck across the street. The two bedrooms on the second floor were badly damaged while “the loss on the first floor would be due to -water. Mr, Conley had just left home for the farm when the alarm rang. He states there was only a small fire in the furnace, -though the roof was burning first aronnd the .furnace chimney. The firemen soon, had the blaze under control. The loss is es­ timated a t $2,ft00, covered by insur­ ance. Review o fRafterprepared By Attyi Hamer Corry onBratton .

The request was to get sig­ natures afid the petitons would be turned over to President Roosevelt It is not likely a petition would get many names in this county. In as much a s the Communists wanted Henry Wallace for vice president, the new President, Harry Truman, will not likely take much interest in the. petitions if they even reach him. effect each citizen. Mr. Carry outlines the purpose as follows: .To promote international monetary cooperation through a permanent in­ stitution. To facilitate expansion of interna­ tional, trade and contribute thereby to a high level of employment and in­ come. To promote exchange stability and .avoid competative exchange deprec­ iation. To assist in establishing multilat­ e ra l clearings of current transactions and in elimiatjg foreig exchange re­ strictions. „ To provide “under adequate /safe­ guard* resources to member countries to aid them in correcting maladjust­ ments in their balance of payments.

Mr. Corry .states: What the world -really needs, in addition to plans and- pro­ grams, is an international fund of morals, character and integrity which might.be drawn upon by the leaders who are to guide or rule vast populations,' and which might give free reign to moral force as the -ultimate but untried instrument for world organiza­ tion.

Vehicles stopped because of any traffic violation such as swerving in and out of traffic/ or failure to ob­ serve stop sign* will be aubjeot to check.
