There never has been at any time a genuine legitimate reason fo r the moving o f clocks one hour fast o r slow. Time, has proven there was no economy by going on fast time. As fo r garden working tbe old time gardner found long ago that one could not only do the garden work easier, faster and with less fatigue in the early hours o f the morning rather than the evening. From the far­ mer’s standpoint the fast time was a detriment and a real in­ convenience. His help could not be used to advantage in the harvest o f his crops. Then just how many citybfolks would be willing to trade places and arise at 3 :30 A. M. and do the milk ing to meet a ‘fast time’ city milk truck?. The use o f common sense tells one and all that in the heat o f summer one cannot get the rest desired and retire in the heat o f the evening. The loss o f the rest o f one hour in the .cool o f the morning was more to the fancy o f labor generally. Mayor Chambliss, Xenia, has made a good suggestion. That the legislature requiresbut one time fo r all in the state by com­ pulsion. Mayor Ballard o f Jamestown voices the sentiment o f the great marjority, that “ no matter what happens, there is to be no more changing o f the clocks in Jairiestown.” . nmwmuituyiiimmuwwi Hjlfjlttll NO MEAT — NO SUGAR— NO LARD — SUGAR FOR BEER The cry fo r more meat has spread over the nation. The American sv 'e t -to o th cannot be satisfied when the New Deal pays farmers fo r not raising sugar cane and sugar beets. , The housewife and commercial bakery as well as large and small eating establishments all over the nation appeal fo r more short­ ening fo r bread. What would the Ration give if the millions o f little pigs ordered slaughtered by Hen Wallace to create a system o f scarcity in foods, could be* restored td-meet the. pres­ ent emergency? A year ago millions o f pounds o f good lard . was sold by the New Deal to soap manufacturers and the farm­ er was regimented on shipment o f his hogs and forced to takea , low price on hogs over a certain weight. In those days the na­ tion was feeding on factitious millions o f hogs that did not ex­ ist only in the minds o f the cock-eyed New Dealers that had no conception o f farm production or even the amount o f sustinance required to feed a nation o f 130 million people. Cities have out- ' lawed farm produced lard and butter as well as meat. They have by regulation brought into existance empty show cases in all meat stores. Hunger may convert the nation to sanity!

' ■, .'v "*■‘ ' PHONE—Jamestown, 4-4894 ' Not within the memory o f the old­ est local citizen can any one recall the day we could not purchase meat at the local stores. Even on meatless Tuesdays during World War I, any person could purchase any kind of meat but most persona denied them­ selves meat that one day as a patriot­ ic dnty. Moreover the public tried to keep down white bread mixed from some grain ahd mostly potato flour that the boy* at the front could have pure white bread. There was no regiment of snoopers such as we have under OPA o r we did havh under the prohibition days, such as we exper­ ience today. World War *11 holds the spot light for covering up clever work o f. Com­ munists at the head o f various gov­ ernment departments, especially that o f the Agricultural Department and the QPA. Herald files will show predictions made by prominent citizens and far­ mers that the New Deal scarcity plan of paying farmers not to raise sugar cane and beets, corn, wheat, potatoes and other food Btuffs would result in a scarcity fo r both man and beast.

Stalin refused to get exercis­ ed about the San Frandsoo confer­ ence and grew cold when the body by a majority vote took Argentine into the gathering, For the duration o f the war up to the death o f the one who<was to .be made the World Pre­ mier, Argentine was charged as being an ally o f Germany, Various New Dealers were dispatched to that na­ tion to influence Argentine to declare war on Germany. This was not done until recently, when it was known the Hitler movement had crashed under our military power. Now we hear old Santa Clans o f New Deal lineage was at work, A now dead man had made Argentine belieye we would take a large part o f her grain and beef by reducing our tariff fifty percent. The Argentine feeder never com feeds his cattle but gives them range grass. I t does not cost much to lay Argentine meat on our market after that count- try absorbs part o f the tariff and we forget our fifty percent. This makes good reading to the American far­ mer but he is once more introduced to the Democratic idea o f free trade. It turned up in Washington this week that we. also gave Argentine 600,000 pounds o f rubber when the New Deal even informs the American motorist the army must have the tires. Why Argentine should ask for our 'new .synthetic rubber when she can get pure para rubber at her neighboring dosing bgeause they cannot get meat and sugar to feed the thousands that j ^oor Brazil, ^Yes, Sir, Santa Claus must eat in public places. The OPA bungled-as nevCr before in adopting the crack-pot idea o f fix­ ing, quotas for all slaughtering es- lives on even i f his imitator is driid! All this review is but part o f the un­ folding o f what has been dumped in­ to the lap o f the San Francisco Con- feres that were supposed to be build­ ing a program of permenant peace.

Unless the new admin­ istration changes the present policy and injects some sanity in the Boose- velt- appointed crack-pots to control the food supply more than one Greene county fantily will go hungry in this supposed land o f plenty, The poultry situation is believed to be the delib­ erate plan of higher-ups to profit by holding tight control over the buying and sale of poultry. Each commod­ ity the OPA tries to regulate creates its own ‘‘black-market.” , a field where New1Deal politicians harvest. ‘Most o f the claims o f .the meat being laid to the soldiers is untrue.

One. uncovering irregular­ ities around gambling law enforce­ ment. The other called by an outside Judge to direct the regular grand Jury.

Lend-lease is getting the lion’s share o f our food selling lard to soap manufacturers in 10,000,000 million chunks. Today our 'local bakery is closed because it can­ not get shortening and sugar. If we have half a fruit crop the housewife is not to get enough sugar to put up a supply o f fruit fo r next winter and the commercial, canneries have been cut also—all because the New' Deal paid farmers fo r not growing sugar cane in the South and Ohio beet sugar furmers for reducing their crop and they all will be paid the same this year to continue crop reduction . in the face of a bare cupboard in every home and empty shelves in groceries. We are told this week o f a very -prominent Greene cotinty farmer has been called before a U. S. Court in Dayton for violating the slaughter o f two fat animals by a commercial plant fo r use by the owner’s family, including two sons, if they are mem­ bers o f the family under the OPA in terpretation o f where the line o f de- markation begins and ends. A t best those who voted New Deal are repeating the harvest voted last November and inflicting their hellish doctrine on innocent women and child­ ren that -are not on the New Deal pay roll at the expense of the income taxpayer. As for food famine—the end is not yet. The salvation o f sufficient fo jd for the American people this coming winter depends entirely on how the present administration conducts af­ fairs to wipe out the traitors who are trying to RuSsianize the American people for pure regimentation on any and all matters, > > There is a lo t 'o f monkey business going on in San Francisco where the peace program is being given birth.

The best letter we have received from a constituent fo r a long time was one last week from a 7th Dis­ trict grocer which contained this par­ agraph: “ If the reports that Mussoli­ ni and Hitler have been killed are true, i am mighty sorry.

It has been a open stone cookgtove ^ the rear. Then the word went around for the men of the company to dig in for several days. Two platoons were assigned to dig in along the outer 'sides of the nearby hills for perim- eter defense. ■• ■ The hoys .were told they could keep the horses they had comman­ deered, that they could carry wood­ en panels out of the houses to make little doghouses for themselves, but not to take anything else, and that they could have fires, except during air alerts. ' ‘They weren’t to start their daily mop^up patrols in .the brush .until the next day, So they had the after­ noon off to clean themselves up and fix up their little houses. Different men did different things. Some built elaborate houses about the size of chicken houses, with floor, mats and chairs and even kerosene lanterns hanging from the roof. One Mexican boy dug a hole, cov­ ered it with boards, and then cam­ ouflaged it so perfectly with brush you really couldn’t see it. Some spent the Afternoon taking baths and washing clothes in the river. Some rode bicycles around town. . Some rode their horses up and down. Some foraged around town through the deserted houses. Sqme went looking for ohickens to cook. Some set in groups and talked. Some just slept. • An order went out against wearing Jap clothing or eating any of the local vegetables, pork, goat, beef or fowl. But this Was before the order came out. The marines had dug up lots of Japanese kimonos out o f the •smashed houses and put them on while washing their one set of clothes. If you ever want to see a funny sight, just take a look at a few dozen dirty and unshaven marines Walking., around in pihfc and blue Women’s kimonos. A typical example was Pvt. Ray­ mond Adams o f Gleason, Teiuu He had fixed himself a- dugout right on the edge of a bluff above the river. He had a grand view and a nice little grassy front yard. Out there he trad driven stakes, and built a fire. He hung his helmet'over the fire like a kettle and was stewing chicken. He had taken off his Clothes and put oh a beautiful pink- and-white kimono. Later a friend came along with a Jap bicycle with one pedal off, Gambol About in Colorful Kimonos By Ernie Pyle Editor's Note; Ernie Pyle tees several dispatches ehf*d when he met death from a Jap machine gun on In island, This newspaperwill continue to print these for a few weeks. OKINAWA.—It’s marvelous to see a bunch of American troops go about malting themselves at home wherever they" get a chance to settle down for a few days. My company of first division marines dug in at the edge o f a bomb-shattered village. The village was quaint and not with­ out charm. *I was astonished at the similarity with the villages o f Sicily and Italy. ^______________ 1 ______ , The town didn’t really seem Q r i-' ental. The houses were wooden one- story buildings, surrounded by little vegetable gardens.. Instead of fences, each lot was divided by rows, of shrubs or trees. The cobblestoned streets were just wide enough for a jeep*' They were winding and walled , on both sides b y ' head-high clone walls. . , A good part o f the town lay shat­ tered. Scores o f the houses had burned and only ashes and red roof­ ing tile were left, Wandering around, I counted the bodies of four Okinawans still in the streets. Oth­ erwise the town was deserted. The people had fled to their caves in the’ hillsides, taking most o f their personal belongings with them. There is almost no furniture in Jap­ anese houses, so they didn’t have to worry about that. < After a few days. th§ grapevine carried the word to them that we were treating them well so they be­ gan to come out in droves and give themselves up. I heard one story' about a hundred Okinawa civilians who had a Jap soldier among them, and when they realized the atrocity stories he had told them about the Americans were untrue, our MPs had to step in to keep them from beating him. Marine*.Have Rim o f Town ' Our company commander picked out a nice little house on a rise at the edge 'o f town for .his command post. The house was very light, fairly clean, and the floors were covered with woven straw mats, A couple of officers and a dozen men moved NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate o f Robert E, Forgarty, De­ ceased.

If there ever is a war play about marines 1 hope they include one tough-looking private in a pink-and- white kimono, stewing chicken and trying to ride a one-pedaled bicycle through, a shattered Japanese vil­ lage. Private Adams is married and has a boy eight months old he has never seen, If the baby could have seen his father that day he would prob­ ably have got the colic from laugh­ ing so much. * * • My company o f marines started moving in just "after breakfast. We were to march about a mile and a half, then dig in and stay in one place for several days, patrolling and routing out the few'hidden Japs in that aresu- We were in no danger on the march—at least we thought we weren’t, so not.all the marines wore steel helmets. Some wore green twill caps, some baseball caps, some even wore civilian felt hats they had found in Japanese homes. For 'som e reason soldiers the world over like to put on odd local headgear. I’ve seen soldiers in Italy wearing black silk opera hats. And over here I’ve seen marines in combat uniform wearing panama hats. I’ve always enjoyed going along with an infantry company on the move, even some o f the horrible moves suCh as we had in Italy and France. But the move we made that morning here on Okinawa was really a pleasant one. It was early morning and the air was good, The temperature was perfect. The country was pretty. We all felt that sense of ease when you know nothing very bad is ahead of you. There is no. weight on your spirit. Some o f the bp^s were even smoking cigars. Funny Sight* In Moving Column There are always funny sights in a column o f soldiers moving along. Our mortar platoon had comman­ deered a dozen local horses to carry heavy pieces. Orie of the marines Had tied the pack onto his horge with a Japanese obi—one of those brightly colored reams o f sash Jap­ anese women bear on their backs. And here came this marine, dirty and unshaven, leading a sorrel horse with a big bowtie of black and white silk, three feet wide, tied across its chest and another similar one tied under its belly, the ends standing out on both sides. Troops' carry the oddest things when they move. One marine had. a Jap photo album in his hand. One had a wicker basket. Another had a lacquered serving tray. They even had a Columbia phonograph with Jap records, strapped onto a horse. Lots of them wore Japanese in­ signia Or pieces o f uniform. •Later an order came out that any marine caught wearing Jap cldthing 'would be put onhurial detail. 1 .guess that was to keep marlnes from shooting each other by mistake, • * • There were frequent holdups ahead of us and we would stop and sit down every hundred yards or so. One marine commenting on the slow progress said: “ Sometimes we take off like s ruptured duck, and other times we just oredp along.” The word was passed down the line, “ Keep your eyes open for planes,” About every sixth man would turn his head and repeat it and the word was sent back along the column like a wave. Except toward the rear they made it com­ ical— .“ Keep your eyes open for planes —keep your eyes open for cabbages —keep your eyes open lor Geisha girls,” We were walking almost on each other’s heels, a solid double line of marines, My friend, Bird Dog Clay- ton, was behind me. He said, ,rA column like this would be a Jap pilot’s delight.” NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Estate o f George Powers, Deceased Notice is hereby given that Paul­ ine Powers, has been duly appointed as Executrix o f the estate o f George Powers, deceased, late o f Cedarviile Township, Greene County, Ohio, < Hated this Elat day o f April, 1946, I WILLIAM B.
