Krug, chair­ man, replies to the interests that cir­ culated petitions protesting the use o f sugar for intoxicating liquors wheu it is so badly needed for home canning. The assistant states no sugar is used for intoxicating liquors The petitions were sponsored by the Xenia Ministerial Association, the Greene County W. C, T. U. and the Federated Missionary ' Society of Xenia. The petitions. were widely circulated over the county. While Day says no sugar was allo­ cated for liquors, he does not say as to when the WPA stopped the use of sugar for liquors and wines. He does say none was issued for the July “ li­ quor holiday.” The letter says no other sugar will be allocated as long as there is a sugar shortage. The WPA evidently does pot re­ gard wines as intoxicating for they cannot bo made without the ,use of pure cane sugar.

Three Local Youths Answer Draft Call RECENT WEATHER FAVORS SHEEP PARASITES— Cloudy skies and wet ground com­ plicate the sheepman’s ■problems of parasite control, chiefly because few­ er stomach worms die during the lar­ val stage. A mid-summer treatment j is now in order for all lamps tha t- have lost , bloom or stopped gaining. Dosing with phenothiazine is most convenient, as no starving or prepara­ tion is needed. Any lambs that fail to respond to the treatment may have tape worms and should receive a com­ bination drench a week or ten days later. The season has also been favorable for mpre than the usual trouble with i maggots. The newest remedy is i “ Smear 62” a formula developed by j the U. S.

To­ bins ,a son of GC, was recently cited for “ meritorious. service in combat from March 4, 1944 to May 2, 1945.” He went time and again where the going was most difficult and danger­ ous thus winning the notice and com­ mendation of his commanding officer, Brig.

The atomic bomb brought Japs to their knees—and Victory to the Allies. The whole nation.rejoices in a two day holiday—and yet J-V Day may be some days ahead! Local celebration modest and with­ in bounds of propriety. Prayers offered Tuesday night m a public service at the First Presbyter­ ian Church. . Now comes the battle o f diplomacy with the conquered Japs who still are ' war-like in certain sections. Gen. MacArthur promised the Japs when his forces were driven out o f Manila that he would return . He will return to meet Hirohito on his sacred' ground to carry out the terms of sur­ render. . . Americans must now demand that all our troops that have been engaged on the.European and Pacific fronts be returned at once and those in train-, ing given a part in the victory as units in the army of Occupation. .. Thursday morning Japan had not fully met all the terms of full sur­ render but the Allies will insist bn the complete fulfilment o f the accepted terms as laid down by President Tru­ man. The Japs bear watching! It will be days, probably several years before the final chaper o f this gastly conflict becomes history. Ration Lifted On Gas; Remains On Tires “ Fill her up” is the welcome tune the Gas Station attendant,hears since the lid was taken o ff gasoline Wed­ nesday No more restrictions—only the neces try price.

A ll Local Stores Closed Wednesday WATER TOWER SHINES LIKE A STAR AT NIGHT The Water tower has been given a new coat of aluminum paint that adds to the attractiveness and will preserve the metal for several years. It shines like a star in the heavens. The work was done by Mr* Jenkins o f Washing­ ton C. H. The same firm is doing the painting on the U. P. Church where it requires 60 foot ladders to reach the bqrnice of the main building’ at the highest point. All local stores closed Wednesday for a holiday following the holiday grant for state and federal employees, Those families that had not' laid in a supply of groceries, bread or meat were out o f luck for the day. At best you saved some ration points that you otherwise might have spdnt. Even the local drugstore closed for the day and that only adds to the importance of the event, a very unusual thing. Then none o f us will be the wiser one hun­ dred years from now. The Herald, like the farmer just kept plugging a- long as usual. Again like the farmer we do not get anything but what we work for.- Election Board Approves Petitions ERECTING NEW GARAGE Charles Rhubert is erecting a new concrete block garage to house the modern buses in use by his line.
