Cedarville carved a nick in the walls of time with the Labor Day celebra­ tion. It will be better known for what has been accomplished through the sons and daughters that have gone on after completing life’s task. - Decorated business houses and resi­ dences informed the traveler that Labor Day had a special meaning this year of 1945. Order and deportment was all that could be asked. The three day event opened Satur- night with a concert on the square by the High School band. This -was fol­ lowed .by an entertainment in the opera house and a packed house was the report. The usual church Bervice marked the Sunday morning in local churches. Sunday afternoon the Community sig in the opera house drew a good crowd. There was group singing of Excellent numbers by the church choirs, the Zion Bap­ tist having one .selection. Wilbur Weakley rendered a vocal solo.’ The other solists •were Miss Phyllis Bryant of the First Presbyterian Church, Mrs. Greer McCallister of the United Presbyterian ■ Church and ■Miss Katherine Charters, Cleveland, for the Methodist Church, President Ira D. Vayhinger, opened the meeting with the introduction of Supt. Walter Boyer of the Public Schools, this being his first appearance before a local audience since his elec­ tion as superintendent.

Governor Frank Lausche was on hdnd ~ • II ■ early an,d met many citizens. HiB ad­ dress was mainly ■' devoted to labor, peace and good citizenship. He was well received.

It was an opportunity to renew old acquain­ tances by pictures. The crowd was so great Saturday night the doors o f the Huey room had to be closed for a time. The display was under the di­ rection o f Mrs. Elmer Jurkat. HIGH SCHOOL BAND DREW COMPLIMENTS FROM ALL ■Cedarville people are prouder today of the high school band than before the three-day celebration Many more' people have had the opportunity of hearing the group for the first time. The concert on the street Saturday night, the program on the College Campus and another concert Monday night added much to the success of the celedration. The band is under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Foster, head of the music department o f the public schools. Her work in musical lines is always outstanding. There was no need for apology from anyone because the group had not held" prac­ tice during vacation. ALONG FARM FRONT E. A. Drake, Co.

Green corn may be put in the silo. Another way to save it is to hog it down or it may be fed direct from the •field to cattle or other livestock. Special care will be required to store corn which has more than 20 to 30 per cent moisture when hit by the first frost. Special cross ventilation should be provided in cribs. Adding one pound o f salt to 100 pounds of com in the-crib will6help control molding. POTATO CEILING PRICE— The ceiling prices for potatoes are the same as a year ago.

RESEARCH CLUB MEETING CULL DEATHMARKKET PULLETS Since death of laying hens is one o f tho most serious barriers to profits from egg production, laytng-house mortality can be reduced by culling out the death-marked pullets before they start egg laying. Research men at Corpell University find there is a definite relationship be- twen the physical signs o f vigor in the pullets and the length of time they will survive ip the laying house. Pul­ lets which lack yellow pigment and which are under weight are very poor risks Cull out the pullets which have pale "shanks and bills These alone with the under weight birds can be fattened and sold Without incurring the total loss which results from early deaths in the laying house, The first meeting o f the Research Club was held Thursday afternoon at hewpresident, Mrs. Paul Cummings, the home o f Mrs. W* A*'Spence*, The received the gavel from Mrs. Meryl Stormbont, retiring president The roll call was the naming o f an Indian Tribe or a Legend.
