The word o f German’s sunfen* c|er, which had been received, in o ffi­ cial circles several days before, was rather an open secret throughout’ the capital city. There was no stoppage o f government or legislative work for VE-Day, While everyone was thank­ ful fo r the end o f hostilities in Eu­ rope, there was a full realization A- merica’s task is only half completed, and that the nation’s war. e ffo rt con­ tinue at full force until final victory in the Pacific. * • The War Department late last week announced the details o f its point sys- this system a soldier, unless defirtite- tem by which men will be selected for discharge from, service—as was pre­ dicted in this column last week.Under this systme a soldier, unless definite­ ly heeded for continued service, is al­ lowed a point for each month o f ser­ vice since September 16th, 1940; an additional point is added for each month served overseas since the same date; five points are credited for the first and each additional award o f any o f the following; Distinguished,Med­ al; Bronze Star Medal Air Medal, Purple Heart; and Bronze Service Star (Bottle participation stars), decorations awarded; five' p’oints for each additional award' and decoration by a foreign country accepted under Army Regulations; and, finally, 12 ^points fo r each dependent, child under eighteea years o f age, up to a limit o f three children.

While a few scattered plantings*were made last week, the weatherman has held up ploying and ground prepara­ tion, Farmers could well get along without any more showers for sever- ay days and some warmer weather is needed to warm up the soil. Soil temperatures ate now in the low for- tys while corn should have a soil tem­ perature o f 55 to 60 degrees at plant­ ing time. ' Last year Greene County harvested 67,800 acres pf corn which produced 2,637,000'bushels or an average of 38.9 bushels per acre.

Postwar Planning Com­ mission in a recommendation to the county commissioners, submitted af­ ter several months of investigation. The commission^ report declared it attqched.no blame to the present or past, administrative personnel, hut at­ tributed the ‘‘deplorable” condition o f the infirmary to* antiquated buildings, and outmoded facilities for operation. In its findings the commission as­ sorted that “sanitary conditions are hopeless and irremediable-except at enormous expense; that the old wood­ en floors, open and seamed with age, harbor pests; that- the buildings offer a constant fire hazard; that, four floors are used; that .high ceilihga make the*heatihg cost.excessive; that during extremely cold! weather the elderly inmates must remain in bed for warmth; that therOare no individ­ ual toilets and the only toilets are in the bath.rooms/wi There* is no possible means fo r seg­ regation o f the ill;-the commission re­ potted, making it necessary to use coal tar and disinfectants throughput the building. Because the building is not equipped with' an elevator, the siek must be carried from one floor to another. WHEAT CROP UP 17 PERCENT— The Ohio Wheat crop is .established at 54,652,000 bushels or 17 percent more than last year crop* The indi­ cated yield per acre is 24 bushels com­ pared with 23 bushels last year and 20.2 bushels for the ten-year, 1934-43 average. Wheat came through the winter with very little loss o f acerage and the area fo r harvest is about 12 per­ cent more than last year* The crop made good growth during March; due to the warm weather, but during Apr* the heavy frosts and excessive rain­ fall tended to retaTd its growth. Some fields show1considerable frost damage to the leaves, and spots in^- many fields are yellow due to excess moist* Ure, It is still too. early to determine whether much damage from freezing occurcd in the developing wheat head FRUIT CROP SERIOUSLY DAMAGED— , ■ A survey o f fruit growers through out the state made recently by F. H, Beach, extension horticulturist shows that the prospect for fall and winter varieties o f apples is about 36 percen; o f a normal crop* It is somewha • less in southern Ohid and northeast­ ern Ohio and approaching half a crop through central, northern, and north­ western Ohio. Summer apples are setting better than the later varieties* The survey indicates a 87 percent normal pear Crop is in sight with less than 10 percent o f a crop throughout Xenia Still Following Dayton, In T im eRace Xenia followed the ether towns in Greene county in joining the process- siort returning to Ohio legal or slow time. At a meeting o f the city com­ mission Monday the ordinance for fast time was repealed by a vote of four to one. Xenia had followed Day- ton and moved the'clocks up one hour last April. Nettling in recent years has created, more discussion-and tended, to'disturb the tempemient o f the public than the fast time. Farmers in particular were more disturbed. They point out that few’ city folks know what it is to get out of bed a t three-thirty to get the milking done bo the milk can will be picked up and carted to Dayton or some other town on a fast time sched­ ule* A number o f farmers refused to sell milk to companies that trucked on fast time. Not so long ago there was a spec­ ial dinner at one o f the churches at the seven o’clock hour. The manage­ ment waited long after the announced time hoping that* farmers that had purchased tickets would be present The result was that farmers found it impossible to get their work done on time for events under fast time.

Renewal o f the re procal trade a* greements act with an amendment authorizing reductions up to 50 per cent-of 1945 tariff rates would ser­ iously endanger the economic welfare of the American farmer, manufactur­ er, and laboring man, Ernest H> Hahue, Northwestern University pro­ fessor o f economics, said yesterday in-* > a review o f the legislation pending before congress. Hahne said the United States; un«. . der the present administration h u re­ duced .1,239 rates, 523 the limit allow­ ed by law, and that many o f these concessions are, not repaid'imkind by other countries because o f the uncon­ ditional most favored nation *jlause which has the effect o f making a. bi­ lateral agreement World-Wide"in op­ eration,' ------ “Farmers Suffer Most’ “ Farm incomes would suffer most, Hahne" said. “ The countries w ith ", whom the trade agreements hav^rbeen negotiated' for the most part have lowered their trade barriers, while aa a matter of reciprocal treatment "We' opened our markets to their' fa r in ' products which have often been'com- . petitive rather than non-competitive;\ “ In' schedule VII, agricultural prt^ ducts, 246 rate reductions had been granted as o f Sept. 1. If to' these are t added the tariff schedules fo r sugar, tobacco, flax, and wool, theh'389* rate'concessions on farm'products or their processed goods have been al­ lowed in the schedule fo r agricultural products.” 1 Some Cuts A ffect Industry Hahne said rate reductions have a l-., so .been important for certain indus­ tries.. Among these are- metals «uid< manufacturers, 239; chemicals, 126; earths, earthenware and- glass* ware* 116;* and sundries, 210.‘ Evidence submitted to a congress- * ionai committee in 1943'.showed that' rate reductions in 1939 had aubstait-' tially lowered employment in such in­ dustries as zinc, pottery, watches and real;, .Haline said. “Many trade unions do not ’accept the theory that lower duties increase employment,” he said. ■ ' Union- groups which opposed .re­ newal of'the act o f "1940, Hahhe said, represented these and many oth­ er craftsmen: Boot* and shoe workers, typographers* ,pressmen, photo en­ gravers, >glass workers, carpenters, meat cutters, hat, cap, and millinary workers, butchers, braicklayers paint­ ers, paperhangers, and cigar makers. Studies Favored Nation Clanse " Discussing ^the most favored na­ tion clause, Hafatie said: “ Under the trade agreement poli­ cy a nonagreement country h#s been - ahlh’ to take advantage o f our tariff , reductions1without granting ally con­ cession in return because the" uncon- ditional mbst favored nation- clause has: been implied part o f that: policy. Thef net effect o f rate reductions has been to make them almost world-wide Japan especially has taken iull' advan- tage o f this generosity, For this -reason, the' last' Republican platform favored only recriprocal cO-lateral trade agreements/ and then only if approved by congress.” ' Hahne criticized the administrative procedure in handling trade treaties, and said that one. o f t h e '‘tragedies has been the* inability o f protesting workers and business men to be heard by the committee that enters into the actual negotiation o f the trade agree­ ments.” f CORN PLANTING BEING ' HELD UP BY RAINS Not only plowing or breaking the grotmd or Working it for planting but planting o f corn has been held up by the heavy showers thin Weak* The rain Wednesday afternoon Will keep most farmers out o f the fields unit Saturday with’ faVoraMe wsuthe <r in tho meantime, E War Bond Sales Exceeds County Quota The Seventh War Bond drive open­ ed In this cottnty Monday and a ready response according to first'retums o f the solicitors.
