'toernment Departments worked ■«ual on the 4th of July, but in the jqning more than three hundred and fifty thousand Washingtonians gath ered on the* Washington Monument Grounds to take part in a patriotic celebration o f the. nation’s birth, and to watch an unusual fire-works dis play. It was the first 4th o f July cel ebration fo r the nation’s capital since the beginning o f the war.- Hearings on the . United Nations CJharter for World Organization be gan Monday before the Foreign Re lations Committee o f the Senate and will continue throughout the week. It is believea the debate on the Char ter will be concluded, and a final vote taken, by not later than August 15th. Present indications are that the Char t e r e r T rea ty -w ill receive far mpre than the two-thirds majority needed fo r ratification. . Adjournment o f the Hpuse for the summer recess, originally scheduled for last Saturday, has been delayed ns a result o f a deadlock which has devel oped between the House and the Sen ate over an apropriation item for the Fair Employment Practices Commit tee in the War Agencies Appropria tions Bill. The .House, as a result of parliamentary maneuvering by South ern . Members; had eliminated .the FEPC item from the bill. The Sen ate reinstated it, and the deadlock ensued. The House has passed and sent to the Senate the first o f its postwar tax relief .measures. This bill, which was approved by the House Friday o f last week, deals with corporation taxes and will make present one percent postwar ; credits on excess profits tax exemption for corporations from ten thousand dollars to twenty-five thousand, beginning January 1, 1946, as a means of aiding small industries and businesses to better meet recon version problems. Following the Con gressional reccess the Ways and Means Committee of the House is ex pected to conduct hearings and pre pare legislation for postwar tax de ductions on both individual and cor porate incomes • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I have just finished reading your Editorial Page, June 29. Jt should be read by all who wish to know how we get into wars. _ Some can’t remem ber yesterday. Some can’t see to morrow. Let them re-read the Edi torial and question profoundly the view. Put our boys at 18 for a year in the dangers o f army camp life. Cul- vate in them the war spirit as Ger many did fo r generations until she became WAR MAD and believed she sat on top o f the nations. Follow Germany’s example and Wing the horrors of slaughter and the woes of homeless desolation. “ Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap,” Cultivate the war spirit and you will have wars as certainly as the sun will rise tomorrow. Note the paradox— Fifty 'nations met in Ecumenical Counsel and all signed a treaty o f peace and bound the nations to keep the peace. Then: They flew home; and, jumping out o f the plane they shouted—PUT OUR EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD BOYS IN CAMP FOR A YEAR AND-TRAIN THEM FOR WAR! ! WHAT ! ! F. M. FOSTER, Pastor Emeritus Third Reformed Presbyterian Church, New York. FRIENDLY TRUCKERSIN CRTTim FRAY LIKES OUR EDITORIALS Dear Mr. Bull: .

SAYS CHERRIES WASTED The Special House Postwar Mili tary Policy Committee has issued a report, signed by sixteen o f its twen ty-two members, urging adoption of a “ broad policy of universal military” training in the United States. This endorsement o f the universal military training program by the Special House Committee Was not unexpect ed. However, the Committee has no legislatives authority other than to make a recommendation and report on the subject Any legislation to actu ally establish such a peace-time mili tary training program must be. ap proved by the Military Affairs Com mittees of the House and Senate, and enacted into law by the Congress be fore becoming effective and that is not likely to occur any time soon, if at all The Kilgore Sub-Committee of the Senate has put out a critical report of high War Department and Army o f ficials in connection with the alleged shortage o f heavy munitions and shells in Europe last winter Accord ing to the Committee, the only short ages which actually existed were be cause o f the failure o f certain Army- officials to properly distribute avail able supplies, and not as the result of any failure on the home front as was then charged :by Undersecretary of War Patterson and other War De partment and Army officials who Were endeavoring to shift responsi bility for the situation to American industry and labor. The Committee report was also quite critical o f Gen, ttsl Somervell, CJiief o f the Service .Of Supply, arid close friend o f Harry 'Hopkins. A t the present time the farm popu lation Of the United States is at the lowest point since the turn o f the century—o r in the past forty-five years. Since 1940 the farms o f the nation have lost 6,136,000 persons through migration or abandonment of farm operations, and 1,805,006 to the military services, resulting in a re duction o f the total number o f Amer icans living on farms to a low o f 26, 100,000, according to figures just is sued by the department o f Agricul ture. Yet, despite this heavy decline Of nearly twenty per cent in farm population, the tillers Of the soil last year produced thirty-five per more food than in prewar yeisrs— a great patriotism o f our American farmers Dear Editor: Let tne compliment you on the edi- •torial of June 29, “ If 80,000 Farmers Should Strike—-What?" I was raised on a farm in Eastern Ohio. My two brothers reside on farms and I am .in touch with both monthly even if I do reside jn the city where I have em-. ployment. A sorr-of a farmer that had all the good things to eat possible, it has been a pain to try to' live under the crooked New Deal ration-system as we experience here in Columbus. It is no wonder the public patronizes the so-called black-market. They are driven to it under the kind of a sys- Liquor, two women and nn ugly knife form the basis of a “ friendly” cutting affair on Route 42 near the former East Point* School house last Saturday night about midnight. The men involved were truck drivers for the “ Roadside Express” . In an argument - between the two men, one sliced the other with a knife across the small of the back that measured eight inches. The injured man was brought to town where his wound was sewed up by Dr. Donald Kyle. Sheriff Walton Spahr’s office was notified and the “ cutter” spent the night in the county jail. The injured man refused to prosecute his “ friend” as he explained things to the officers. The matter should be brought to the attention o f the State Highway ■Patrol and the Utilities Commission. There are several reasons why the trouble happened at that point. That was not the first or the second time these trucks stopped there. If the Roadside Express does not check into what their drivers are doing it should be up to the State Highway Patrol. j COLLEGE NEWS j President Vayhinger was guest preacher for the Covington, Ohio, Presbyterian Congregation last Sab bath. Theodore “ Ted” B. James was .or dained last Sabbath to the gospel ministry by the Presbytery of Day- ton. The ceremony took place at Oak land Presbyterian • Church, Spring- field, O. A number of Ted’s Cedar- viile friends, were present. He has already accepted a call to the Howe, Indiana, Presbyterian church, where lie and his bride will make their a- bode. Ted has overcome many obsta cles to reach his goal of ministry in the service o f the Master. Everyone joins in wishing him and Mrs, James a rich service in their chosen field Prof, and Mrs. Hostetler were in Columbus for the week-end. They took their daughter and two grand tom that was organized for no other j children home after a week’s vacation purpose than to put a lot of feljows j under the parental roof, on tne govenment payroll that could not even Support themselves. As for meat and butter I go to the country and get it from relatives and I do not call that blackmarket.. They are only making it possible to feed two small sons and a- daughter no where near their teens the kind o f food all boys and girls of their age should have. When any government wastes fruit as I had to do with cherries because we could not get sugar (only in the blackmarket), its time for- strong words and quick action. Milk deliv ery was cut in Columbus yet beer is hauled all over the city, Sugar for liquors of all kinds. None for the kiddies school lunch this winter, and none for jams or jellies at home. Your editorials are enlightening and to the point even if critical o f the New Deal, which is warranted and is welcomed by hundreds of laborers that have tumbled when they could not purchase potatoes for their fam ily tables. I congratulate you on your stand against this country doing what Italy, Germany and other European ooun tries have done in the past—making soldiers o f their boys instead of far mers, storkeepers or preachers, With two sons in my home I am against this and any other succeeding- admin istration that would make gun fod der of them for the rich to get rich er.

Roberta Fudge of Silvercreek Twq. and Russell *McDonald - o f Jefferson Twps,, will assist a s ’ camp faculty members and councillors COMBINES ROLLING— The combining o f wheat got under way this week Favorable weather has ripened the grain and reduced the moisture content o f the grain. Farm ers are urged not to cut wheat too early but to wait until the moisture content is 14 percent or less. There is plenty o f evidence to show that the hazard of cutting wheat too eaVly is much greater than the danger o f grain losses by shattering or lodging while the grain is becoming fully ripe. Fields free,from weeds can 'b e .har vested a little earlier than weedy fields because wheat will absorb the moisture from weeds in harvesting or in storage. REDUCE COMBINE LOSSES— Success in combine ■operation de pends first upon the condition o f the grain being cut and second upon the, proper adjustment of the combine. Serious loss sometimes occurs due to improper adjustment of the machine. These losses occur most often at the rack rather than the cutter-bar or cylinder although the latter two are the points most often checked for ef ficiency of operation. Losses can be estimated quite close ly by finding how much grain is left on the ground behind the combine, as 16 grains o f wheat or 9 or 10 grains of oats per square foot o f ground equals a loss of one bushel o f grain per acre. COMBINE STRAW INJURES LEGUMES— ‘ Farmers grow wheat because it works well in crop rotation .in which clover or alfalfa is seeded in small grain. However, the use o f combine harvesters on wheat is a threat to the success of legume seeding unless the straw left by the combine is remov-' ed as soon after harvest. Injury to the legume seeding is much less likely to occur if the stub ble is clipped so the straw falls upon the ground and decays Farmers who need straw for bedding should rake the clipped stubble and remove that and the straw which passed through the combine EGG AUCTION NEWS SHEET— The first issue of the Ohio Valley Egg News, a publication issued by the Ohio Valley Egg Cooperative of Milford has been received by local as sociation members The news sheet is published by Lloyd Mullett, assoc iate manager, and will be sent out every four to six weeks.

SHEENE M l 2 n I IN“E” Latest reports indicate that Greene County has finished second in the 7th War Bond standing for the South western division o f the state. This in. formation comes from John Rowe, Cincinnati, district chairman to Judge Frank L, Johnson, county chairman.

Of the additional sale $98,- 955 represented E-Bond purchases, The latest report shows total pur chases in the county amounted to $6,- 810,565.25 or $2,892,565.26 more than the quota. Livestock Stock Shortage Looms Again WASHINGTON, D. C.— The pos sibility of a livestock feed shortage threatens today as the government is trying to find'plans to expand meat and poultry output in 1946. In its July report on crop prospects the Agriculture Department said due to unfavorable weather and shortages of labor and materials this year’s production o f feed grains may be the smallest since 1941. This year’s production will form next year’s livestock feed supply. And that supply will have to be larger than indicated if more hogs are to be raised, if beef cattle are to be fed to heavier weights, and if poultry'and egg production are to be increased. Livestock production declined last 'year due to a short feed supply and to high feed costs in relation to live- stqck prices. The unfavorable feed grain outlook is expected to lead Secretary of Ag- iculture Anderson to postpone for another 30 days, at least, decisions on proposals to establish greater finan cial incentives for livestock 'produc tion ■ , ‘ ■ Those proposals—advanced by the .House Food Investigation—include: An increase in the hog . support pdice from $13 td $13.50 per hundred for revenue, that is a proposition for discussion from the county standpoint, prices from $13 to $13.50 per hundred pounds,. Chicago basis. Establishment o f a wider margin between prices j if lower grade, unfat tened beef cattle and higher grade, fattened cattle. This is designed to encourage feeding lower grade cattle to heavier weights. « There is plenty o f time for the. corn crop now indicated as likely to be the smallest in many years—to improve. However, this year’s acerage is down five percent compared with last year. Progressive Club Labor Day Celebration The Cedarvjlle Progressive Club in 8 latter from President W. W.

NREMVEU MT 0 STOLEN UNMYNMff A blue Chevrolet coupe belonging to Frank Creswell, was stolen from in front o f his residence some tiine Sun day night by unknown parties. The officials have no definite d u e as yet but one party says he followed the car from Springfield to Ce^aryille, The car was found on the Massies Creek Cemetery road the next day in a condition far different than when taken. The left rear wheel was tak en off. and it with the tire were miss* ing. The spare tire in the rear com partment was taken also. Both tires were in gopd condition and had just recently been retreaded. The loss was covered by insurance. Farmers W ant Trial Supply and Demand Representative Ohio farmers be lieve that the law of supply and de mand, if allowed to operate unhapa pered, will solve the problem o f full agricultural production in the post war /era. This was indicated in the results.of a poll conducted by the Ed ucation Department o f the Ohio Farm Bureau among members o f the Farm Bureau Advisory Coucils thru out the state. Although letting the law of. supply and demand operate without inter ference was favored by most o f the people queried, a substantial number thought that government should pay subsidies on surplus agricultural products for sale abroad at lower prices than at homg. . . The poll also included questions of policy if surplusses accumulate in policy if surpluses accumulate in case, most o f those poled believe, far mers should voluntarily shift their production from surplus commodities to those o f lower production and greater need. This should be done, they said, after adequate crop and market information has been made a- vailable. SCOUTPAYEE DRIVE SAFY The Boy Scouts will stage another iscrap paper drive Saturday when all town residents are asked to have pa per in boxes or bundles at the curb early in the morning. The last paper drive did not net as much scrap paper as the Scouts ex pected and special effort is being made to have the paper ready. Should you have an extra amount that can not be moved call Ward Creswell, Scout Master, that he can make ar rangements to pick up the allotment. Merchants that have spare carton boxes can make good use o f them by having the Scouts pick them up. They are needed foivthe material that is in them. State Highway Warns About Speed Limit The warning issued by Colonel Geo. Mingle, Superintendent o f the Ohio State Highway Patrol, should be a warning to automobile drivers to hold down on speed. You will be turned in to the OPA and gasoline rations will be lifted. Thirty-five miles an hour is the legal limit. The Highway Patrol reports that those on vacation and seeking park resorts are the most consistant viola- tors. Unfortunately they*do not seem to realize that their tires, and in nu merous cases, like their brakes are not too good A recent test o f 162, 916 cart by Ohio police brought out the startling fact that 25,4 o f all the brakes either foiled to function or were faulty. The average ear on the road today Is eight years old and Can not possibly stand the spend it did When it was new.” * DEPUTY SHERIFF RECEIV ER FOR FARM CROPS “GUILTY” WAS JNNY VENNKY A jury o f ten men and two women were out about, two hours last Sat urday evening after receiving the charge of Judge Golden Davis in the trial where Jermone Nevius, pros ecuting attorney, was tried for brib ery, and returned a verdict o f guilty on each of three counts. Nevius was held guilty o f accept ing money, two automobiles and other gifts from two self-confessed gamb- bling operators, Joseph Fariai and Ralph Schear, both of Dayton, who owned the Silver Dollar .gambling in- stition near the Clark-Greene county line.

Being a businessman qnd one ' of the many shut out of apace that belongs to the property and for the ntnnded use o f my customers, I like others do not approve, o f the plan in force. Morover the business Interests *• were never considered anymore than were the physicians. ,. The inconsistence o f the city com mission wanting to take over all the court house space on four streets ahd give but two free spaces fo r the coun ty is best pointed out by comparison when the city takes all the space on the west side o f the City Hall, the al ley on the north and has a driveway to the basement on the east Bide, The city owns two automobiles fo r use o f the police. If parking meters are a money making scheme fo r the -city around the court house, why not con vert the space on Detroit street #ide o f the City .Hall for revenue also,, not fo r free parking fo r city employees? Thanks, Mr Editor, You have taken the proper attitude on this subject. MAIN STREETER NOTE)—The Herald has no particu*' l&Y interest in the City Hall parking fo r city employees for that ie' within the city but when the city wants to be unfair and grab coUnty property revenue, that Is a proposition for dis cussion from the county standpoint.
